You have to earn it! What are you working towards? This life is an amazing ride and we can all be working towards a goal or aimlessly floating in space. Do you have a destination in mind? Maybe it's time to refocus and begin a new path in your life.
Over the next few weeks, our Sunshine Salutation will highlight a Teacher at the studio. Get to know us a little better and see where we are on our path. To start us off, a little bit about me.
If you have been to my classes you know me. I would like to take a moment and explain my direction and how I got here, for those who do not. In February, I will celebrate my 50th birthday and I feel as if I have come a long way. However, I know I have so much more to do and new goals to achieve.
I have been married to the love of my life, Eric, for 23 years, we have 3 amazing children, two dogs, and one grand puppy. In 2001 I started my yoga journey before Sept 11th but after the birth of my first son. I never expected the road would lead me here.
Yoga gave me freedom. Freedom from the world and freedom from the person I thought I was. I had to let go of the version of me the world told me to be and became a truer version of myself. Since my first yoga class, I have been curious as to why yoga made such an impression on me. How it worked to change me and bring out the best in me. I try to bring that knowledge to Sunshine School of Yoga and Sunshine Yoga Shack. Almost 21 years of yoga practice and 10 years of teaching yoga and I feel there is so much still to do and so much left to explore.
January 9th marks Sunshine's 5th birthday of moving into an actual studio. However, Sunshine has been going strong since 2012 when Eric build a gazebo in our backyard and dubbed it Sunshine Yoga Shack. I hope you celebrate with us this week at the studio.
When I was starting out as a practicing yogi, I knew there was so much I did not know or understand. I wanted some way to fast forward and know all of the yoga things. One thing I learned for sure was you have to earn it. You have to do the work, the yoga, in order to understand it. Nothing worth having is handed to you for free. So, I ask you again... What are you working towards?
I hope you join us on what comes next. We have so many things planned for the next few weeks and months to come. January brings many fun and exciting opportunities. Jennifer will host Circus School on the 22nd, Sunshine Kids Yoga is back on the 23rd, Sunshine will host a Ribbon Cutting and Celebration on Thursday the 27th, Yoga 101, a Beginners Workshop will be on the 29th as well. Dean with Dallas Ashtanga Shala will host a Primary Series Workshop at 4:00 pm at our studio.
Sunshine School of Yoga is full for our January training but spots are open to start with us in August. Aerial Teacher Training will be held in April, Reiki Level One will be in June and Reiki Level Two will be in July.
In-Studio or Online, make time to do the work and earn your yoga practice. We have specials for January to help you get started.
