Hey Reader,
This summer has definitely been different for me... staying home with my kids and low key running my business, which basically means as far as running the business, I’m prioritizing teaching class and getting this newsletter out (which is proving to be tricky since our internet has been out for pretty much the entire month of August)… oh, and watering the plants inside and out at the studio when I’m there.
But that also means that we’re only 4 weeks out from the Harvest Rhythms Retreat on September 26…yikes!!
So next week I’m going to be sending just 3 little emails about the retreat. If you’re not interested or it’s not the right timing for you to do some of the deeper work on yourself that we do at these retreats, that's OK! I get it and look forward to the time when it is right.
To opt-out of those 3 emails, but still get the regular Rhythm Reset emails, just click here.
If you already know you want to sign up for the retreat, you can do that here👇.
Plus, check the "P.S." below for a nifty little coupon code to save a little on the retreat.
This code is only for you all here on my list because I love hanging out with you here and am grateful for you.
Speaking of loving having you here, I want to share just a little about why I love working in this particular industry in the first place.
You see, it’s more than yoga that we do around here. It’s self-exploration, transformation, community and most importantly (in my book), CONNECTION.
First and foremost, I love working with people like you who are naturally caffeinated and have a hard time powering down because I, too, am one of those people.
Yes, you heard that right, I AM one of those people, not just some blissed out guru trying to lead you down a path that I haven't been down before.
I’m walking this path of building my capacity for moving between stressful life and calm life just like you are (maybe you haven’t even realized yet that you can indeed access the calm parts also🤷♀️, and that’s OK… that’s why you’re here!).
I'm not perfect at it, but I figured out long ago when I started practicing yoga that there was something different about how I felt when I did the practice and practices similar to it.
That difference was presence.
What this means for naturally caffeinated people, and why it keeps me doing cartwheels🤸♀️, is that when you add presence to your already get-shit-done personality, you’re actually able to get more done in a deeper context and feel just as fulfilled, if not better, than simply checking things off your list.
Since discovering that, I’ve gotten to create classes, workshops, retreats (like the Harvest Rhythms Retreat👆) and community that meet you where you are and empower you to live from authenticity rather than from what the world thinks you should be doing.
I’ve had students and clients
🤓Create businesses they’ve longed to create for years
🦸♀️Quit jobs that make them feel empty
🥰Speak their truth in relationships rather than staying silent
🛌Finally have relief from chronic body discomforts like poor sleep, shoulder pain, and dizziness, to name a few.
Celebrating those wins with them makes my heart sing long after they leave the studio, workshop, or Zoom call.
Of course I got into all this because I knew that mindful movement made me feel different than any other workout I’d ever done and I wanted to hold onto that feeling and understand the “why” behind it. And while I thought it was just about the movement, it was actually about so much more.
It was about me reconnecting with parts of myself I had inadvertently shut down or disconnected from. And by doing so, I was creating space to connect with others differently and give others that same opportunity through teaching, coaching and facilitating.
Humans were made to be in connection.
To be seen. Witnessed. Held by each other in community.
That’s more than just movement on a mat. It’s creating a lifestyle that brings us into connection with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
That is what living in rhythm is all about.
Presence
Authenticity
Connection
Values that I didn’t even know I needed when I started this business, but that have become the guiding principles that keep me supporting others in doing this work.
Now I want to know why you’re here… what is it about this email list or the wellness industry that you love?
Write me back and fill me in; I’d love to hear your words.
Cheers,
P.S. Here’s that discount code I alluded to earlier -> $30 off retreat registration. Just use the coupon 30OFF at checkout.
