Well… Let’s check in, shall we?

On a personal note, I’ve got “unicorn hair.” Let me explain — a while ago, my stylist did some highlights, just for fun. And I’ve kept them up. I have a new stylist (same salon, the original person moved on), and she asked me the other day, “How do you feel about unicorn highlights?” Well. Heck. It’s hair. If I really dislike it, it’ll wash out or grow out. I said, “Let’s go for it!” A combo of rose gold, pink, and lavender. And I love it. Why not have a little fun once in a while?

500-hour Training: Done. Certified!

Prenatal Training: Done! I’ll be certified after I teach 30 hours of classes. Looking foward to adding that certification to my credentials.

I’m pleased to have completed those two goals. And I’m also pleased to add classes to the studio’s schedule, especially in the “coming to the new normal” phase of this Covid-based reality we now occupy. My student-turned-teacher Mindy is teaching a class on Wednesday nights, “Yoga with Gratitude & Grace,” and I’m especially excited because Mindy is not only a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, but she’s also a certified ASL interpreter. On the list is for her to do a class for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community with me as the “student” so she can sign. Looking forward to that.

Fellow teacher Irene brings a Saturday Chair class to the schedule, for those who want to have the opportunity, but are unable to attend the Tuesday or Friday offerings. Of course, for folks who also want another opportunity to practice, they can join her class as well!

I feel a new energy coming in to the studio space. I admit that I was pretty concerned about the shut-down, and worried about investing in completing the trainings during the pandemic…it was a strategic decision to do that, but also — I wanted to do it for myself. Because it’s only by growing, continuing to learn, and experiencing new methods - that we as teachers, and human beings, continue to work toward being our best selves.

See you on the mat soon!
