I remember when I used to wonder if spending $39 on a monthly membership to an online yoga studio was worth it. It was the beginning of 2021; we had been living in Tennessee for nine months and the world was just starting to emerge from a pandemic.
I was still in my first year of my alcohol-free journey and I was looking for something, anything, to fill my time and help guide this new journey in life. I stumbled on a 7-day yoga challenge and signed up. For seven days, I showed up. I did seven yoga practices while learning about the energetic body and how imbalances in our energy can ripple out into our thoughts, our actions, and our life.

For the first time in I don't know how many years, I finally felt like I understood what was going on inside of me and how that was affecting my outer world. I felt connected to my body and my personal power and my intuition in a way I never had before. I was absolutely hooked and I wanted more.
Yet, I still questioned spending the $39 a month. Was $39 worth getting to know myself better, learning how to listen to my body, learning how to be present and embodied and feminine and strong? Was it worth learning how to utilize breath, movement and mantra to control my energy and, therefore, my mind and my actions? Was it worth getting to connect with like-minded women and build community and immerse myself in an environment that supported my journey?
Yeah, typing it out now, it seems silly that I would even question the $39! But I did, because you don't know what you don't know, and sometimes you can only see how important something is after you have walked through it. But luckily, I listened to that little voice inside my head and signed up for the membership.....and that membership changed my life.
That is why I am so passionate and excited to build my membership this year. After five years of teaching, I know what is important to me, and I have a pretty good feeling I know what so many of us women need in this day and age. We need permission and space to rest. To connect with our feminine energy. To take the time to embody these beautiful bodies that we live in. To feel connected, grounded, powerful, purposeful and peaceful.
To kick off this online journey, I am creating a four-week class series (LIVE) where we will connect with our bodies, release physical tension and stress, find our flow, and reclaim our bodies, mind, and energy. This isnβt JUST a yoga class series. This is an experience that will build a solid foundation for your personal practice and your daily life. A journey that will make you stronger and softer, powerful and peaceful, wise and wild.
The live classes start in April (exact date will be announced soon). Following this four-week cohort, I will take your feedback to help me structure and create the online membership, a membership I hope to have up and running by June!

Twice a month, I'll send you a note inspired by a new monthly Frequency, with practices, reflections, and reminders to help you slow down, listen inward, and live a life that feels like you. Each month's Frequency is an invitation to remember an aspect of ourselves we may have forgotten, like trust, adventure, presence, pleasure, or rest, and bring a little more of it into our everyday lives.
