Celebrate the Masculine: Honoring the Yang Energy in All of Us. As we celebrate Father’s Day and all the strong and nurturing men in our lives, we must recognize the importance of embracing and celebrating the masculine within ourselves. The world celebrates girl power every day, but the masculine has often been overlooked and brings to mind negative stereotypes. Masculine energy is the driving force behind our creativity, ambition, and action, and it’s necessary to create a balanced mind and body. Let’s look at the significance of honoring the masculine and how yoga can help harmonize both sides of ourselves.
My life has been blessed with strong and sensitive men. My Father, BT, and Husband, Eric, are the best examples of power, action, and protection, but they have also been nurturing and supportive. We all have masculine and feminine energy and finding balance makes us complete.
The Importance of Embracing the Masculine Energy:
Masculine energy teaches us to step up, take action, and follow through on our goals. By tapping into our masculine energy, we can push ourselves beyond our comfort zones, embrace new challenges, and achieve our dreams. When we embrace the masculine in this way, we create a space to honor and celebrate all aspects of ourselves, including the masculine energy that drives us forward.
Balancing the Yin and Yang Energy in Yoga:
In yoga, we work on balancing both the yin and yang energy to create a harmonious flow of energy in the body. Yang energy is associated with masculine energy, and yin energy is associated with feminine energy. The strong standing postures of yoga represent the yang energy that supports our strong and powerful nature. The yin energy is represented through soft-release postures that support our nourishing and healing nature. Practicing yoga in this manner creates a space where we can explore both sides of our nature, honoring the importance of both the yin and yang energy in our lives.
Celebrating Father’s Day
For Father’s Day, it’s important to celebrate the masculine energy that our fathers, grandfathers, and other strong male role models have passed down to us. I know some mothers who must also bring masculine energy in for their children to grow and flourish.
As we celebrate the masculine energy within ourselves and others, let us strive for balance and harmony in all aspects of our lives. By embracing masculine and feminine energy, we can create a space for healing and growth, fostering a sense of inner peace and balance that radiates into the world.

Yin and Sound Bath with Mallory July 14th
Join Mallory for an invigorating Sound Bath with the therapeutic crystal bowls. We will do a 20-minute yin yoga session releasing the muscular body & brief guided meditation, allowing us to settle into our comfortable spots, sinking deep into a state of relaxation. Sound therapy is based on the idea that every part of your body creates a vibration that resonates in a certain way. Sound healing works by sending sound waves throughout the body, helping restore balance at a cellular level. The benefits include deep relaxation, better sleep, increased brain wave frequency, and decreased stress and anxiety.
