Happy Friday!
Here is the latest on what’s going on in this group! (Check out the video below, or here are the highlights👇)
Recent Live Workshop Replays:
Starting Next Week: LIVE Yoga here in the community!
- I’ve been experimenting with teaching yoga live online via YouTube this past week. So starting next week, I’ll be offering LIVE online yoga via YouTube & in this community.
WHY both?
- YouTube is a great place to be introduced to more potential students who might want to join this community, so it gives me a little more exposure to help me grow as an online yoga teacher.
BUT I WANT THIS GROUP TO BE SPECIAL
- Sure, someone can follow along on YouTube, either live or as a replay.
- But this group will be where someone can go to join our community and get MORE support.
SO WHAT DOES THAT “MORE SUPPORT” LOOK LIKE?
- Well, I’d love to hear what you’d like receive?
But let me back up just a minute…
Over the past couple weeks, I’ve been trying to get clear on the vision and purpose of this community.
- Sure… I want a place to create a connection with like-minded friends on the path of yoga to prioritize our self-care
- And of course… I want a place to go deeper into yoga so we can learn more about moving our bodies, connecting with our minds, and supporting our nervous systems….
But what IS “yoga for self-care”?
- That’s a great question! You deserve to know how I define that so you can understand what to expect from me as a yoga teacher (and decide if this is a place you want to be… totally fair).
So Here is how I define YOGA FOR SELF-CARE
- Yoga is a holistic practice of movement, breath, and mindfulness to:
- nurture your physical, mental, and emotional well-being, create a dedicated space to reconnect, de-stress, build self-compassion, and
- develop resilience for daily life, going beyond just exercise to restore inner balance and self-awareness.
It’s not a specific type of movement, breath work, or meditation… and honestly, I find that variety is the best spice of life… so it’s not just
- Slow restorative yoga for calm
- Power yoga for strength and fitness
- Chair/desk yoga while you’re working
- Guided meditations
- But it does INCLUDE all of those things, and much more!
The PURPOSE OF YOGA FOR SELF-CARE IS…
- Develop and nurture sustainable and accessible yoga habits to help us find balance between doing and being.
- Incorporate yoga practices and beliefs into our goals & intentions to promote resilience and maintain dedication to becoming our ideal self.
YOGA HABITS:
- Meet you where you are
- Help you stay consistent
- Support balance in body, time, and energy
YOGA PRACTICES INCLUDE:
- Movement (gentle, powerful, or anywhere in between)
- Breathwork (the tool that is always with us)
- Meditation (discipline)
- Discussion (community)
YOGA PRACTICE HELPS:
- Reduce stress & tension (enjoy your life as you live it)
- Promote your longevity (physically and mentally)
- Fosters awareness & mindfulness (being a better person)
WHAT IS MY ROLE HERE?
- I don’t assume to be the expert on every aspect above, but I want to be our guide to teach what I do know, help us find other resources to help learn what I don’t know, and lead by example to embrace the Yoga for Self-Care mission above.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT GOING FORWARD:
More…
- classes, workshops & gatherings
- Questions about what you want more or less of
- Connection with one another
SO That leads back to the beginning….
- Starting next week, I’ll be offering LIVE classes (10-20 mins long) in a variety of yoga styles and intentions (see schedule in the calendar here - subject to change) - please let me know what you want more or less of!
- What would be supportive to make it worth it to be in THIS GROUP versus just getting free yoga online on YouTube?
Some thoughts that come to mind are:
- Posture breakdowns & more instruction of yoga moves,
- Challenges that help us create better yoga habits throughout our day (quick habits!)
- Q&As + Coffee Chats to build stronger bonds,
- Guest Lecturers
- Resources like printable PDFs
FULL TRANSPARENCY:
- I’ll be adding a $5/month price to this group soon (you’ll get it for free since you’re already here!)…
- But what would make this group WORTH paying that $5 a month, that makes it feel like a no-brainer investment in your life without feeling like you’re being assigned homework every month?
Alrighty, that is enough for now, that’s for your time and for being here. I am so excited to see how this group will grow in the next couple month!
