The Awakened Moon

Dear friends,

I have not been active on this page for quite a while. At the beginning of the year, I got a part time job sewing, in addition to teaching yoga. This shift took me down a long road of reflection. I've always wanted to leave space for evolving and any changes that come along with that. So, I'm in the middle of rebranding!

I want to have a space for all that I do - yoga, sewing, photography. And whatever else might come up! I'm tired of feeling like I have to separate everything to appease the internet and their love of a niche, and instead want to focus on expressing myself and my offerings as a whole.

As my renewals came up, I decided to let go of The Awakened Moon. As I did not renew my domain, my website is currently down. However, I will be coming back to you as Sincerely, Best!

I also must be honest that I am much more involved on Instagram than Facebook. I am still deciding if I want to start a new page, rework this one, or completely shut it down. While I continue to ponder that, the best way to stay involved is friend me on here, follow on instagram at , or email me at [email protected]

I appreciate you all for joining me on this ride through my 20's and allowing me the space to explore new things in my 30's. Please keep in touch! You can still find me at FORM yoga on Tuesdays and Sundays!

Stay tuned for SincerelyBest.com!

That moment when you’re so busy you forget to tell everyone what cool stuff you’re doing! I hope you’ll join me next Saturday, 2/19 for a fun workshop at . Throughout the pandemic, I’ve loved adding more hopping (traditional and non traditional) into my practice to keep my body moving, get my heart rate up a little, and shake loose any stress I might be holding onto. So please join me in learning how to get light on your feet, working towards hopping to the front of your mat, to plank, and eventually to chaturanga! And some fun movement along the way ☺️

There have been plenty of times in quarantine, in the times of Covid, where I have felt complete and utter boredom. Tired of doing the same things every day. Eating the same foods. Sitting in the same spots around the house. But I also know it’s up to me to break up the monotony. So I’ve started painting🖌
I took a couple painting classes back in college, and even though it wasn’t my main focus, it was always fun to sit in front of a blank canvas. Anything was possible. I’m really enjoying having that feeling again. I’m playing with colors I enjoy, that I would, and do, decorate with. Different styles and techniques, but all ultimately simplistic and organic. And I want to share them all with you! There is not enough space on our walls 😂 and the feeling of having one of my works in a loving home is just as good as the feeling of creating them. Swipe through to see them all! ➡️
# 1 and # 6 are already claimed, but everything else is up for grabs. Ask me for sizes and prices! I also have a black metal frame that can be used for # 2 or 3, similar to the one in the first image. Drop offs can be arranged if you’re local, or I’ll ship if you’re not. More coming soon...✨

Here are our dates for July’s Healing classes!

This Friday, July 10th
Friday, July 24th

5:30pm EST via Zoom from the comfort and safety of your own home. Investment is $20. You can sign up here: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=19509757&appointmentType=14084405

If you would like to register with the sliding scale, because we all deserve this opportunity even if money is tight, comment or send me a private message. Please don’t hesitate. I have been in that position. You deserve this.

Small everyday habits can support us in who we are, and who we want to be. Lazy is not who I am, but I’ve been leaning into that lately. Don’t get me wrong, I love rest. However, lying in bed for over an hour scrolling Instagram is not the kind of rest I want to support me. So I’m redirecting my slow mornings. Setting an alarm, and getting OUT of my bed within 10 minutes. The easiest way for me to stay out is open my blinds and make my bed immediately. And now that I’m up, I have time before my first clients to investigate what rest means to me. What lazy represents. And how I actually feel today. Is more rest needed? Or is there pent up energy waiting to burst out? What can I do to support that? 🧐
These easy steps helps me align more with my truest self. And that’s what so much of my life, and my work, revolves around. Who am I? Let’s investigate. ✨

I always enjoy introduction posts, even from dear friends, so here we go! I’m Madison, a yoga teacher, a new coach for awakening the truest YOU, Manifesting Generator, Gemini, introvert, and cat mom to sweet Sylvia. My friends joke that she matches my color palette, which is wholeheartedly true. 🖤
I’m single but dating to manifest my partner. And boy have I learned a lot about myself along the way! Now that I’m working from home, I have plenty of free time that I use to continue working on myself, uncovering my worth, and building the life I want (I’ve started posting weekly updates of my process in my stories if you’re curious 😉). I’ve also been reading, cooking, journaling, puzzling, and recently painting. 🖌
I have a plethora of emotions, but I’m good at feeling them and understanding them. I’m also a bit of an empath and getting better at knowing what is mine, and what is NOT. And not to toot my own horn, but I’m pretty great at giving advice. ✨
What else do you want to know? I’m here for you, for support, for guidance, and anything else you might need. But I know that works best when you know who you’re with. So let’s chat and get to know each other better 😊

Last June HEALING class is this Friday 6/26 at 5:30pm EST! This week we’ll focus a lot on calming down the nervous system. Small, but effective movements. Focusing games. Awareness of breath. And visualization.

Or comment/message me for the sliding scale. Don’t let money stop you from taking care of yourself.

I hope you’ll join, and this month part of the proceeds will be going to Atlanta Solidarity Foundation and The Loveland Foundation.

*HEALING* June virtual class dates - this Friday, 6/12, and Friday 6/26 at 5:30pm EST. While listening and learning, I’ve also thought about how my work contributes, or doesn’t, to the change I wish for the world. While action is needed right now, I think yoga can also be valuable because it builds self awareness, which can lead to seeing our own shortcomings. Then we can address them and start the change on a cellular level. And it sounds selfish (it probably is a bit), but we need to take care of our energy too so we can keep fighting the good fight for the long haul. ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Or message me to register with a sliding scale from $2-20.

I’ll be donating part of the proceeds from classes this month to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund and The Loveland Foundation. I hope you will join me, both on and off the mat. ❤️

I am spending the last day of my 20s in deep thought. I’m proud of all my growth in the last 10 years. I am simultaneously the same me and a whole new me. And as I embark on my next chapter, I not only see the potential for more growth, but I also hope for the same in our society. More action. More change. More progress.

First of all, I would like to apologize for my silence on this page.

Second of all, BLACK LIVES MATTER.

This week I’ve been learning, listening, and sharing. I am far more active on Instagram, where I have been consuming information all day, and sharing it to my stories. Black owned restaurants in Atlanta. Amazing books by Black authors. Organizations that can use your donations - Color of Change, Campaign Zero, The Loveland Foundation, Atlanta Solidarity Fund, and so many more.

It is a privilege to pick and choose what social media platforms I use, so I will do better and share more here too.

As a white person, I need to spend more time examining my behaviors, thoughts, and actions. I’m working on it, and I really hope you are too.
