NAME CHANGE
Gypsy Seeds Yoga is changing its business name to MYSTIC MEADOWS YOGA, LLC. It was recently brought to my attention that “gypsy” is considered derogatory to the Romani people. I was unaware of the negative implications of the word and its origin. For me, gypsy was used to describe a “free-spirited” person. I sincerely apologize to anyone that I may have unknowingly offended through the use of the term in my business name.
My business developed in 2015 from a smaller project in which I created a calendar celebrating twelve months of kale. The kalendar project strove to highlight the importance of the surging local food movement, and more specifically to inspire others to be more conscious of the foods we all consume. This small project opened my eyes to the necessity for a more holistic and comprehensive awareness of health, both physical and spiritual. Thus, I strived to promote a more meditative lifestyle, a lifestyle defined by an acute awareness of where our food comes from and how that food affects us as human beings. That desire intertwined the spirit of the local food movement with yogic principles to show that both are necessary in order to form a holistically healthy individual. Yet, holistic health did not cease with an awareness of the self; therefore, I hope that my mission inspired people to reconnect themselves to the natural world, for it is our home and our life source.
Although I am changing the business name, I am not changing the mission or philosophy. The new company will stand true to my mission.
Mystic Meadows Yoga envisions a healthy and happy lifestyle for people in their communities. We strive to inspire people to reconnect with themselves and explore an integrated approach to balanced living. Mystic Meadows Yoga is grounded in the original meaning of the Sanskrit word Prakriti as “nature, source” – everything is felt and experienced through the body, which is through nature. Prakriti is the creative energy where students unite with themselves through the body and move into a more natural state of being (i.e balanced, whole, happy). We offer a practice that cultivates love and happiness from within and in return, we plant seeds of happiness everywhere we go.
Mystic Meadows Yoga features a safe and ethical practice to support one's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body.
Physical Body: People that are focused on physical wellness and may be drawn to the practice for physical fitness, supporting recovery from injury, surgery or an accident, improving balance, increasing flexibility and mobility in the skeletal system, strengthening the muscular system, developing stamina, and alleviating aches and pains.
Mental Body: People that may be focused on working through emotional stress and psychological challenges. They may be drawn to the practice to better understand the mind, learn how to control the mind and create new thought patterns.
Emotional Body: People that may be focused on emotional well-being. They may be drawn to the practice to process and release feelings such as anger, grief, sadness, uneasiness, stress, or fear.
Spiritual Body: People that may be looking for their path through life. They may be drawn to the practice to learn the traditions of uniting all aspects of themselves (body, mind, and spirit) with a higher power or spiritual force. You can believe in God or gods, or nothing at all. It’s a way of cultivating love (or wholeness) within and recognizing this love (or wholeness) everywhere.
The change may take some time to implement across all platforms. To help spread the word and let people know, I would appreciate it if you could like our facebook page and share future posts.
