Connection

8.28.17⠀ ⠀ I almost forgot to share these photos with you (although they are admittedly not great). About a week ago when the country was erupting with #hate I asked each of my classes to do something very simple but very (according to many of you) profound. I asked you to get up off your mat and go introduce yourself to someone you didn't know in class. How often do you go to a #yoga class, you recognize the person across or next to you, you've seen them many times, but you still don't know their name??! It can be vulnerable to extend yourself. It's risky. But it's So Simple. And it's a great reminder that we're #AllOne and we're all in this together.⠀ ⠀ Many of you found this very powerful. The smiles, the laughs, the hugs?! They nearly brought me to tears more than once as I watched you.⠀ ⠀ So I know it's Monday, but maybe today when you're out and about or you're at your next yoga class, go introduce yourself to someone you don't know. Maybe even just give someone you don't know a #smile. You might meet your next good friend! And you might make a huge difference in someone's day. ⠀ ⠀ Classes today:⠀ ⠀ 9am Yin Yoga with Cassandra⠀ 6pm All Levels Yoga with Jessica⠀ 7:30pm Beginners/Gentle Yoga with Jessica⠀ ⠀ #foreveryoganh #yogalove #spreadlove #allone #subek #community via

Spent the weekend at @kripalucenter with @krishnadasmusic and @sharonsalzberg ! Always a joy and always so many great teachings shared. Blessed to have this opportunity to learn more about the path of #yoga and #meditation from these great #teachers. And daily #kirtan is such a wonderful way to let go and just be. Looking forward to sharing what I learned at the studio soon. #foreveryoganh #krishnadas #sharonsalzberg #allone #subek #sabek via

Two worlds come together

I love #yoga. I love #knitting. Sometimes the two loves meet in the middle. When I saw this pattern I had to make it! And, well... Be a little silly too. 😉 When it's finished blocking I'll post more pics of it if anyone is interested. The whole thing says #omshanti in #Sanskrit. You'll see me wearing it at the studio soon unless the temperature stays warm. #knittingismyyoga #knittingismyselfcare #yogaismyyoga #yogaismyselfcare #trexhateschaturanga via

Yoga is for EVERYBODY!

wellness-day.jpg

Spending the afternoon talking to people about yoga at #amherstnh middle school. I've heard multiple stories today from people about how their first #yogaclass was traumatic because they were in a class that went way too fast, that the teacher didn't help them or that poses were called that were completely unsuitable for a beginner (bird of paradise anyone?!?). That makes me so sad!! Yoga can be accessible to EVERYONE, we just have to make it possible as teachers. That's something we really strive to do at Forever Yoga. If you had a bad experience in your first class please give yoga another try at our studio or someplace else. This practice has so much to offer its worth another shot. I promise! #yogaforbeginners #yogalove #yogaforlife #yogaforeveryone via
