30 Days of Summer Yoga-Day 12

We raised $18 for Jefferson Elementary today.  To me, that's a victory.  To me, the eleven people who showed up this morning are heroes.  When people find out about these classes, the first question I hear is "why"?  Why am I doing this and why is it free?  

It's because I am absolutely convinced that yoga saved my life. For most of my life, I was depressed, miserable and angry.  I was tired, hurting and bloated. I spread negativity wherever I went.   Although It didn't happen overnight, adding yoga to my life took me from the saddest person I know to the happiest.  I put a lot of work in.  It has all been worth it and I truly want to share it with everyone around me. I'm not unique. It will work for you, too!

New to yoga?  Come to a class.  If you don't like me as a teacher, please find another teacher.  Really. :)  We sit and breathe and learn to love ourselves in my classes and I realize that approach doesn't work for everyone.  However, yoga WILL work for you, I promise! There are many types of yoga and many wonderful teachers out there.  Find a teacher you connect with, someone who inspires you to come back for more, someone who tells you things you already knew, but needed to be reminded of :) 

I close every class with the words "thank you for taking the time to take care of yourself".  I know it's a choice to show up to an exercise class.  I know that there is often something else to do.  I also know that once you start to show yourself a little love, magical things happen. :) 

Questions & comments are always welcome :) See you tomorrow!
