“We are at a point in time when we all need to be creative in our lives and in our work to be authentically true to who we are (my personal theme for myself).” Josephine Russell
Enjoy Autumn at Aloha with a New Class or one of our Events
A photo from our retreat in the Emerson Brook Forest.
It was such a rejuvenating day with 7 Directions Yoga,
a delicious, nutritious lunch, and time for meditation
in the forest. Creativity abounded through art and
writing and sculpture. All ending with a paper kite
to send our dreams out to the universe.
“At Aloha we enjoy celebrating the wheels of the solar cycles annually. This is a very yogic thing to do.” Josephine Russell

Thank you Romaine and Welcome Heidi!
Aloha has a new Garden Godess!
Romaine Looms is “Passing the Flower” over to Heidi Duboski. Romaine has been a devoted gardener for Aloha for seven years. She is now moving to North Carolina. Aloha feels grateful that Heidi said “Yes” when she was asked to step into this opportunity. Josephine got the idea to ask Heidi when she learned that she was a Master Gardner in NH through the NH Extension service. A UNH Extension Master Gardener is a NH resident who is a volunteer who is willing to work on horticultural projects. Master Gardeners are trained volunteers, who share their enthusiasm for gardening with the general public. Aloha maintains a public garden. It is on Court St, a street that is walked and driven down all day long. Aloha encourages folks walking by to stop for a moment or to walk around the gardens. Folks arriving for a service or for a yoga class or event often comment on the gardens. They will comment that the gardens set the tone to calm down. Aloha uses their garden for cut flowers to bring into their yoga studio. All the practitioners at Aloha are invited to keep a vase in their office. Josephine even uses the flowers for her “flower meditation”. Heidi will discover that folks will stop to ask questions. There are many photographers that stop to take photos. Next summer please stop in for a meander around the Aloha gardens began as the Red Cross garden many years ago.

A Gentle Reminder
For a winter solstice gift in 2025 Aloha gave each of our students a coupon card with $10 off each month for a workshop/event, a $120 gift!
Please continue to use these on an event of your choice as we finish out the year.
Our workshops and events are so wonderful we want to share the joy.
Josephine’s 2027 Group Trip to St. Lucia
Josephine is returning to St Lucia March 6-13. The group will be a small group of yogis. Josephine says, “I love this spot on mother earth so much that I desire to return again and again to let the vibe penetrate deeply into my soul. It offers beauty, warmth, and a relaxed feeling around every corner. And oh yes the chocolate is divine, food from the goddess mother cacao. Have an enjoyable experience with a tribe of yoga folk. $2500 includes most expenses from arrival to departure: pick up at the airport, all meals, excursions, lodging in artistic open air cottages, daily yoga classes. Possible excursions: sunset cruise, fish spa, botanical gardens, hiking to see the pitons, local restaurants, mud baths, etc. Also some offerings at Balenbouche such as a sound bath, a tour of the old plantation including the original house, and a cacao ceremony. Massages are extra. We are adding snorkeling and an optional hike to the top of one of the pitons this time. We have 5 folks saying YES. That leaves 7 spots. A $500 non refundable deposit holds your space. The rest due by February 1.
