How are you doing this week?
Slowly, more in-person yoga offerings are becoming promising. I have enjoyed exploring the possibilities of cultivating events within safety guidelines; to protect others and ease anxiety. It hasn’t felt like a limitation; more as a re-navigation. It has led to unique offerings, which are growing and evolving. One in particular is calling for more attention. I am in a stage where I am minding the pacing of the growth. I am paying attention to what is working well, needs for re-direction, and potential other offerings. It has been interesting to experience. At times, I want to share all the things at once. I think the chaos would be a bit fun but mostly overwhelming. Actually, very overwhelming and life seems too overwhelming.
My work is feeling very much like the season of spring, planted seeds waiting to break through the soil and grow. But, now is not the time. I am still in the ground slowly and carefully working my way to the surface. There is movement and growth, in this stage, just paced slowly.
How is your pace of life? Are you enjoying the rate of growth? Does it and can you change it?
Sending you with so MUCH LOVE, Laura
YOGA IN MY YARD is back! Well, slowly coming back.
I will be posting and sharing more of the the history on my Instagram.
This roaming style of yoga started by me in September of 2017. Let me share the story. I was teaching yoga in the area and someone suggested I teach BREWGA, yoga at a brewery with their libations. Supposedly this was going on in neighboring Rockford and someone wanted one here in Freeport. I thought, no way would I be able draw a crowd a big enough for a business to consider hosting. On a whim, with less then 24 hours notice, I put it out there: PRACITCE YOGA IN MY YARD and I’LL GIVE YOU A FREE BEER! Hey, it was for research! The outcome was surprising, PEOPLE SHOWED UP! …..and it took off!
A bunch of people posing in a yard draws attention, doesn't it? That's okay. It is an amazing feeling when a group of people get together with a common goal. Honestly, any insecurities with practicing yoga out in the open, with a large group of people, goes away quickly. This community style of yoga encourages mutual respect for one another and acceptance for everyone no matter where you are in your yoga practice. You are exactly where you need to be in the moment.
