Update for Summer 2025

HI Everyone,
It's been quite a while since I posted here. Thanks for bothering to check the post!
I transitioned out of studio ownership and am still teaching yoga at Breathing Room, who assumed the lease at Leaping Waters in South Portland. You might also find my classes intermittently at Greener Postures Yoga.

This summer I am doing readings by email and energy work, private sound healing or yoga for groups or individuals, and readings in person.

Contact me for information. Use leapingwatersyoga@gmail.com to get in touch about either.
Email readings are $75 and are the quickest, satisfying your questions or addressing something for you as soon as tomorrow and normally within 1-5 days (unless I'm on vacation).

Other rates vary according to our work together and generally start around $100 for a private one hour session for 1-1 people.

I email out the monthly Zodiac Zone colors. It's a $22 subscription, sent around the 25th of the month for the month ahead. Email me to add your name to the list. If you subscribe in June or July I'll add a one card reading bonus :) and you can ask a question or let it be random.
Astrologically, Jupiter is now in Cancer and meeting the Sun for positive, expansive energy as summer begins. Venus in Gemini actively shapes July 4th-30th, putting romantic flirtations, the enjoyment of being drawn to new people, creative intelligence (especially with word and ideas) and prosperity from business collaborations and alliances in the forefront.
Here's my yoga schedule and I'll also be offering Restorative Yoga & Sound Bath at Maine Yogafest on the SMCC campus on Saturday, July 26th in the afternoon. You can purchase a single ticket if you're not attending other workshops. See www.maineyogafest.com

NEW MOON, ECLIPSE CYCLE & READINGS IN THE ROUND

Here's to New Moon in Pisces, Thursday, Feb 27th 7:45 am EST. Every month I celebrate New Moon with a Sound Bath in my South Portland studio. People gather to rest while sound vibration fills the room, sometimes subtle & other times strong. I know that most of you really resonate with sound because music and radio is how we originally found each other! You can do some sound clearing at home with things you already have. Walk to the corners of your room with a bell or various bells and ring out old energy. Hang a windchime indoors in an area that feels 'funny' or never seems bright. Play some recordings of crystal bowls or flutes from your youtube or spotify.

This helps your space and your own internal vibration.

After this New Moon in Pisces, our Full Moon in 2 weeks is a lunar eclipse in Virgo, and that day, March 14th, Mercury retrograde also begins. There's no predicting what this eclipse brings, but it happens with speed and is likely to be unprecedented. The symbol is a 'LION TAMER FEARLESSLY RUSHING INTO THE ARENA'. I am taking that as hopeful because it certainly feels like we need lion tamers to be acting right now in the face of what's happening in our country. Let's hope for some heroes to step in and shift the current tides. 

Speaking of that I'd like to share some resources with you. 

If you are a Civil Servant or know someone who has been impacted by recent events, perhaps losing their job, and if you believe civil servants should be hired based on their skills not their poliitical views, find resources and info on Civil Service Strong website CIVILSERVICESTRONG.ORG

It's been quite a while since I offered readings in the round with yoga, and I'm doing exactly that on Wednesday, March 26th 6:00 -7:30 pm. We'll use crystals and cards and of course some astrology and after the group readings, we'll do a few yin postures with bolsters and blankets to support us. My intention is to ground us as the eclipses shake everything up and we need to remain centered and keep our nervous ystems and bodies balanced. This workshop is $35 and you can venmo me

 @Robin-Payton-1 (1896 phone digits)

Sign up directly on the schedule too or email me and I'll do it for you. Space is limited so everyone receives attention, space and props. Email me at leapingwatersyoga@gmail.com to reserve a space.

A group of people receive the colors of each month by email. There are some astrology insights along with the colors. If you would like this for Eclipse Cycle and Mercury Retrograde, email me today for March's colors. It's a $22 donation and you can use the venmo above or send me a check. I am not using paypal at this time. 

I hope you're navigating smoothly and if I can be of assistance with a reading, give a shout. I'm on WMPG today with more astrology and music 2:30-4 pm, also Wednesdays coming up except for March 12th when I'm on vacation.

Thanks for reading. Share any of this with friends.

Stay engaged. Believe in your power.

READINGS & EVENTS FOR ECLIPSE SEASON

 Hi Friends,
We are officially in eclipse season since last week's Full Moon in Leo. Our next Full Moon is a lunar eclipse on March 14th followed by a solar eclipse on March 29th. Like the state of this country right now, the season is ever changing, can be volatile and destabilizing, and may at times take us off guard.
My intentions with my workshops and in offering readings are ANCHORING, INSIGHT, HOPE, &  CENTERING. With self care we are better prepared to help ourselves and others, to act with intuition, and to reduce overwhelm. 

I'm working toward a new website and until then I'm using this platform, my long time blog site. Feel welcome to share it. You help support when you come to a workshop or receive a reading. You can also support by adding your name to the Colors of the Month list. I'll be sending this out around February 25th for March. It's not subscription so you can try it once and decide, for $22.
Venmo @Robin-Payton-1 (1896 phone digits to confirm) or email me to pay another way. Be sure to put Colors in the comment.

You can donate any amount, so if you're inspired to send a few more bucks, I'll automatically add you to the list for March. Or April if it's past the next email date.

Here's my regular weekly schedule and some workshops for eclipse season ~

Aerial Yoga/Decompression~ learn to decompress your spine and joints and try hanging upside down
Thurs Intro 4:00 pm, Fridays 10 am & 4:30 pm & Sun 9:30 am most weeks

All classes are listed and furthered described at www.leapingwatersyoga.com
Sign up on the schedule. Sign ups cannot be canceled, like event tickets, but you may send a friend if you can't attend. I would really love to see you in person this season.

For virtual eclipse season readings, sent to your email, contact me by email at leapingwatersyoga@gmail.com or robinivy88@gmail.com

I am currently open for multiple readings and inspired to get started this week. If there's a time sensitivity on your reading, I may be able to expedite it.

Thank you!
Robin
