TRUTH!!!

01/10/2024

I hope this message finds you well. I know I have been too busy to post and I have appreciated everyone's understanding and support as I am in school with my current schedule. In addition to Saturday morning, I will be adding Tuesdays back into the schedule but it will not be a consistent class week to week. The upcoming dates for the next session of Tuesday night class are February 6th, 20th, March 5th, 12th, 26th, and April 9th. Class time will be from 6 pm to 7:05 pm. Some people have been asking for multiple classes and this would allow you to take more than one class with me a week. However, I will be teaching the same class on Tuesday and Saturday because of my time constraints. In April, the Tuesday night class will be more consistent with dates from April 23rd to May 28th. The next Saturday session is scheduled for February 24th to March 30th. Due to an event at the recreation center, the class will have to end at 9:30 am on March 9th. If any of these work for you, please register as they are posted on the website. I will reassess in March if people are still interested in both classes. As always, thank you for choosing me as your yoga instructor and I hope to see you soon!

I haven't posted in a while because I'm pursuing a career in mental health counseling and it has taken up my time. I just couldn't help but share this though as it is so true!

You can choose to bring the positive into your life and that is definitely what I have been doing as it then allows you to be a more positive force out in the world.

Midlothian classes are up for registration. Next Tuesday night will begin August 17th and run through September 21st. Two class times: 5:45pm and 7pm. Thursday night at 7pm runs from August 19th through September 23rd. Class registration closes a week before the start of class, meaning classes can be cancelled if minimums are not met at that point. I understand some people may not know that far out if they can do a whole session, but if you do, please register a week out. If the classes happen, you can still register after that week before, you will only be able to do so on the phone or in person. I know it isn't the easiest, but it is the policies of the facility. Thank you for your consideration and hope to see you soon!

Blessings and well wishes to you! With spring in full bloom, I’m happy to announce the return of outdoor yoga classes. I know that some of you who take other classes might be interested in the outdoor option instead, and it is also great for those who are still not comfortable returning to indoor yoga. Please make sure to register for classes at least a week before the start of class.

I would like to be able to serve the community better, so if you could reply to this email answering the questions: Why do you practice yoga? What type of classes are you interested in taking? Are you interested in a daytime class? Thank you!

One of my many teachers, but one who has always resonated with me. His passion is non violent communication and about spreading loving intention and compassion. He is real about experience and even though he comes from a Buddhist background, he doesn't say you have to prescribe to anything, just offers teachings and insight. This is a really good one on compassion and if you have the time, I hope you can view and enjoy it as much as I did! Will always appreciate how much I have learned from you Oren Jay Sofer!

It was about this time last year that classes were cancelled and we all retreated into our homes, very unsure of what the future would bring. The suffering and loss that all have had to go through during this time is something I would have never imagined having to go through, and here we still are. Growing stronger everyday and with spring arriving, I can't help but feel moved and reawakened to the beauty that life has to offer.

With that being said, I do have new classes starting for those who are interested. Whether you come to class or not, please know that I send out positive intentions and energy into the world often and I hope that it finds you if you are ever in need. Hope to see you soon!

Namaste,
Beth

Classes Online:

For those who were interested in virtual, I do have class information. I'm sorry that I didn't get it sooner. I had something set up with a studio, but the owner started having some health issues and we couldn't make it work, so I will be doing classes out of my sister's gym area Empowered Women Warriors. Check it out on Facebook and give a like please! Class session will be for the month of January, but if there is interest in more virtual continuing forward, I will try to set something up based on feedback. It will probably be a different day, but I am hoping to figure it out if the interest is there. Class style will be my typical Monday/Tuesday night classes.

Tuesday Night Virtual Session starts January 5th and runs through January 26th. 6-7pm. Cost: $32 Location: Your home with a computer ready for a Zoom meeting.
Please register with me by sending an email response and paying the fee through GooglePay or Venmo using the beingpeaceyoga@gmail.com email address. I will then send you a link to the Zoom meeting that will be the live class on Tuesday. You must have zoom installed in order to attend the class so please take care of that prior to Tuesday. Also, the meeting will be going on through my sister's email address, so do not be alarmed if it is different from this one.

Wow, that was a lot of information! If you have any questions, please message me. I promise I have been working hard to keep things going and hope to see all of you again soon!

Namaste,
