Shit just got real this week, right? Only 7 days till Christmas. Have you finished all your shopping yet? Have you even started it…? Or even more importantly (to the tune of Janet J. circa mid 80s), what have you done for yourself lately?

If you’re considering joining us for a retreat, now’s a great time to treat yourself. Or let Santa know that it’s on your short list. Book any 2015 retreat in December, and we’ll have a JADE Yoga mat waiting for you here in Montana.

Want some instant gratification? If you make a retreat deposit this month, we’ll also send you a deluxe sample of my latest obsession, Chocolate Peppermint Patty tea from our new partner The Tea Spot. I took a poll on what yoga pose this tea might inspire one to do…but I myself decided on scorpion pose, vrschikasana. Because I feel like I have been working on it for years, and need a kick in the pants to keep doing so. (I was convinced my feet were closer to my head! Think I need more Chocolate Peppermint Patty tea…)

Do some shopping at The Tea Spot and get 20% off with the code BIGSKYYOGA. Be sure to get the new poetry tea traveler (pictured at left) to sip from…order one for yourself and another for a gift. I’m giving quite a few this year!

A yoga retreat to look forward to next year, a new yoga mat, and tea + poetry. How could you not be inspired to reTreat yourself?

Happy and healthy Holidays from Montana!
