Embracing Joy in Nature: The Magic of Paddleboarding
In our fast-paced, technology-driven world, finding moments of tranquility and connection with nature is more important than ever. One of the best ways to experience this is through paddleboarding. This unique water activity not only offers a great workout but also allows you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the great outdoors. Let’s explore the joy of nature and how paddleboarding can enhance your connection to the environment.
The Allure of Nature
Nature has an incredible ability to rejuvenate our minds and spirits. Whether it’s the soothing sound of water, the rustling of leaves, or the vibrant colors of the sky at sunset, being outdoors can lift our mood and foster a sense of peace. Paddleboarding provides a perfect opportunity to embrace these elements.
Why Paddleboarding?
1. A New Perspective: Paddleboarding allows you to experience nature from a different vantage point. Gliding across the water gives you a unique view of your surroundings, whether it’s a serene lake, a flowing river, or the vast ocean. You can observe wildlife, enjoy the scenery, and appreciate the beauty that often goes unnoticed from land.

Hiking and yoga, two activities that promote physical and mental well-being, have gained popularity in recent years. Combining the serenity of yoga with the exhilarating experience of hiking can lead to a holistic approach to health.

moreAstrology is a language of love
Brittany Crystal
Astrology is a language of love. It is a path to self-realization. It is a tool to better understand our celestial makeup and how we interact and relate to others.
My name is Brittany Crystal and I am a Virgo Sun, Cancer Moon, Gemini Rising. I lived a majority my life focusing on my Sun sign, Virgo. I am a granddaughter to two Virgos and even had the same birthday as my late Nana. Virgos have the reputation of being the perfectionist, serving others, tending to the details others miss, and planning like it’s our MO! The description of Virgo always resonated with me, yet little did I know there was so much more to uncover about myself!
In 2020, I had my first natal chart reading while living in Los Angeles with the lovely astrologer, Yazamin Adibi. My session with her helped bring me back to my authentic self after going through a challenging time in my life (known as Saturn Return). Saturn returns to where it was when we were born every 28 years or so and this period can last up to 5 years to get through the lessons of Saturn which involve responsibility, purpose, and legacy. The reading taught me there was so much more than my sun sign and we have all the signs in us in one way or another.
moreMy Journey as a Yoga Teacher: A Path of Growth and Transformation
Omayra Hoon
Becoming a yoga teacher has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. What started as a personal practice evolved into a passion for sharing the wisdom and benefits of yoga with others. In this blog, I would like to share my journey, the challenges I faced, and the profound lessons I learned along the way.
Finding My Way to Yoga:
My journey began 24 years ago when I was seeking relief from changes in my life. Moving from Puerto Rico with 2 kids to Wa State was a huge change, not only for me but also for Yomalix and Joshua. A friend suggested I try a yoga class, and from the moment I stepped onto the mat, I felt an immediate connection. I honestly did not know what is was, however, I started to feel a sense of peace within the chaos of divorce, new home, new schools, new language, new people and beginning of everything I did not expected to happen in our lives. The combination of breath, movement, and mindfulness resonated deeply within me. With each class, I discovered a sense of peace and clarity that I had been missing. The teachers at the Valley Athletic Club in Olympia, were nice and kind, they encourage me to dive more and perhaps teach.
