So Much Beauty In Releasing.
It is such a beautiful, refreshing time of the year and my hope for you all is to find peace and relaxation in the process of releasing what no longer serves you at this time.
It may seem contradicting to some that the process of letting energies go in our lives that do not serve us any longer would bring joy. I often remind my clients that keeping items that do not serve any longer inhibits space for the new that is to be coming in. If you want new furniture in your living room, you would not keep the old and bring the new. We have such strong emotional sensations for the things, people, and events in our lives that sometimes it is hard to recognize that they need to move on to other areas of the universe and be transmuted for other processes or learning, growth, joy, and much more. The trees are teaching us this amazing wisdom very soon right before our eyes and the leaves will be transmuted through stunning beauty to the Earth to be used in the soil for many other things.
I'd be honored to have you join any of us here, at essence, through this powerful season as you release and enjoy the process of transmutation into new energies that are on your horizon. Many beautiful people, events, energies, and more are on their way to you and we are here to help you stay your course as all is shifting.
May you all have a fall season that fills your heart with joy, peace, and love.
In love and health,
Namaste 🙏🏻

TRAINING PROGRAM REVIEW
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5
Review by Lori Smith on May 12, 2023
300hr YTT Training Program held Dec. 1, 2020– Dec. 31, 2022
"Diana Spiess leads an in-depth teacher training program, which challenges students to learn and put into practice those lessons. The flexibility regarding timing to complete the program is helpful, and Diana will work with students as needed. The weekend classes, anatomy intensives, Yoga Enthusiast Practice classes, and other specialty classes are fabulous options, allowing students to explore a variety of areas that can be developed further, if interested. I was challenged personally and professionally, which ultimately helped me become a better teacher. I’m also grateful for the opportunity to meet other teachers and develop friendships that will last well beyond the teacher training program! Diana models healthy living, and I respect that she lives her yoga on and off the mat. In my humble opinion, the depth and breadth of Diana’s overall knowledge is second to none and I am fortunate to consider her a mentor as I continue additional trainings at Essence."
