Yoga on The Beach - It's so Much More Than Just That!

A past client of mine got 9 of her best women friends together this past Saturday. I got to teach them yoga. There's so much more going on than just that. There's the act of setting up our mats in a semi-circle formation, while able to look at the ocean in front of us. There's the energy created from women in friendship. There's also the blue sky and sun above warming our hearts and our minds, as we shift our energy from the "go, go, go" to a softer, more peaceful place.

During the end of "class" I love guiding these women in partner poses. They pair off and support each other through touch, encouragement, and hold space to take risks and fight through the fear of trying something "new."

There's just so much more going on. I leave feeling so full. So enriched. And so hopeful for where these women then go to spread this powerful energy....
