☮️ I am so grateful for the amazing studio overlooking Lake Opeka.
I recently came across the Mission Statement for the ➡️
"Enhancing Our Community by Providing Quality Recreational Opportunities, Facilities, Parks and Open Space.”
I love the simplicity of this mission statement because it really ensures we stay true to our community.
The addition of Lakeview Center last year has proven to be an absolute gift for our community. We are able to provide a high quality yoga experience, while staying dedicated to ensuring this opportunity is accessible to our residents.
It is not easy to find yoga classes for under $15 per class, especially in such a lovely space!

This practice, in this space, on this day, at this moment.
🧡The beautiful setting of Lakeview Center lends itself to reflection.
Reflecting on the seasons. The water freezing and thawing, the birds coming and going. 🩵
Time is often displayed by sunsets and the moon rising. As well as the planes landing and taking off.
The ways that sunlight waltz through the space is an absolute gift. 🌄
I am so grateful for the opportunities to experience this space throughout the day, throughout the year.
🌎☮️Like life, always changing.

My bones are tired, my heart is full.
So very grateful for a few days away with my family.
There is of course much yoga to be had, off of my mat. Non judgment, living in harmony with the world we are in, focus, discipline, letting go, non attachment. A friendly reminder that the physical practice, the asana, is *PART* of the larger practice.
After a few days out of the studio, I'm looking forward to rolling out my mat and leaning into the full practice.
Imperfect, as always, and accepting. Our practice meets us right where we are.
* Subbing 3/28 Saturday morning Vin Yin at Lakeview Center at 8am. Join me!

I love watching the seasons change from Lakeview Center. Watching the lake freeze in one part, and watching geese congregate in other parts. It's been a true gift to watch nature take the lead here.

Yes Bella, I'll share my mat with you.
(❤️🐕She Usually respects the doggy gate that is propped up when I'm teaching online. But sometimes, she like to just jump the gate and crash the party!)
➡️For me, this time of year is rough. Winter in the Midwest is dark, and cold and long. ❄️
I am aware of my low energy, and I am relying on all of my tools to help me through this season!
•●•●•●•
Making some time for movement helps to energize me when I'm feeling down, or ease my mind when I'm feeling anxious.
Yoga helps me to connect with myself when I feel disconnected and scattered.

Sitting down with my calendar, mapping out the week.
Coordinating pick ups and drop offs.🚙
Planning meals, counting to make sure we have enough bread to make sandwiches for a few days (anyone else doing "bread math" tonight?!)
Making sure the PE uniforms are washed and in the proper backpack. 🎒
Washing water bottles.
Planning a walk with a friend.
Are you doing something similar?
Getting your 🦆ducks in a row tonight, knowing full well that the duck Planning will go awry. 🤣
I feel you, and it can be.... a lot.
I invite you to pencil in some time for movement. Dance party in the kitchen, take the dog for a walk, dust off the exercise equipment you bought in 2020, join a class.
➡️ Roll out your mat and flow with ME!
Tuesday nights, you will find me over at Prairie Lakes on my mat. 💕Sharing what I LOVE.
6-7pm Slow Flow
