I'll be rolling out the new 'Yoga and Mindfulness Immersion' workbook with both classes I teach at San Quentin next week!

The Monday LGBTQ+ class and the Thursday General Population class (there are between 12-15 folks in each class) are so eager to dive in and have more concrete practices and even homework they can engage with in order to embody the role of yoga and mindfulness in helping regulate their nervous systems.

The Prison Yoga Project National team has been working hard in drafting this workbook and I cannot wait to digest it all with those I get the honor of introducing it to at San Quentin over the next 6 months.

Though the PYP folks have managed to secure some grant funding to pay us a basic pay as facilitators, I am certainly still seeking to supplement that base with earnings from my Patreon to support doing this work in this wildly expensive place I have chosen to create a life within.

Please consider subscribing to become a Patreon to support me being able to sustainably offer yoga and mindfulness to incarcerated people at San Quentin. You'll received pre-recorded yoga classes with yours truly that you can practice with throughout the month in exchange for your patronage. Talk about a double win!

Hey friends!

It's been a minute since I've offered an online class (so you can join from anywhere in the world - that has wifi😉) and I'm teaching a FREE one this Friday, May 26th at 8am PST as a sub for Peter Walters Yoga ॐ. I'd love for you to join!

Join us for this wonderful experience!

It's my Birthday month 🦂, and I wanted to nudge you to give yourself the gift of a yoga class with me - which just so happens to also be a gift in supporting me and my profession!

I teach a handful of classes a week (a couple online and a few in-person) to the general public and you can check out my schedule and see how to register via my website linked here.

I also teach a few classes each week for both youth and adults who are incarcerated. Hopefully you don't have any interest in participating in those classes in the near future - but you can still support the work I do inside by signing up to be a Patreon supporter of mine (you get yoga for your patronage)!

That'd be an incredible Birthday gift🥰🥳 Direct link to my Patreon linked in the comments.

Thanks for entertaining this form of celebrating life with me!

This is a gentle, mindful flow. Offered on my back patio here in Fairfax. Attendance is limited to 6 folks, so please email me via the 'Contact' page by 9pm the Sunday before the class you'd like to attend in order to see if there is still space. $25 cash, check or via www.paypal.me/verogeretz.

Are you, or do you know of a dear one who is, a soon-to-be postpartum mama? Consider gifting yourself or them a private yoga package with me!

I love working with postpartum mamas to help guide their reentry (or even their first foray) into their yoga practice in a way that centers their pelvic floor and deep core care, and all the ways a postpartum body (and spirit) deserves to be cared for within the practice.

Here's a testimonial from a recent client that I felt so grateful to get to work with:

"I loved working with Veronica after my daughter was born, in her postpartum classes as well as 1:1. I was eager to build strength back and to do it in a safe, mindful way, and Veronica helped me achieve both of those goals. She brought a wealth of personal experience and training to our private lessons and met me where I was, always checking in on how different movements were feeling in my body. Her astute cues made a huge difference in my quality of movement and made me feel confident in my post-baby recovery. Plus, she is a lovely human being who radiates calm and grounding. I am grateful for our time together and will be back for baby #2 if not sooner!" - Caitlin, Postpartum Mother

Want to practice on my back deck with me and just a handful of other people on Mondays from 10:30-11:30!? You could even gather five friends of your own and commit to showing up weekly, and the practice would be just for you and your crew!

I am offering an additional, in-person yoga class on my back deck (in the flats just a few houses down from the Good Earth!) on Mondays from 10:30-11:30. There's sunshine on the back deck, the birds are sharing all their stories, and it's quite ideal practicing conditions, IMHO.

Via my website, www.veronicageretzyoga.com, you can find out how to register for the class on the 'Weekly Classes' page or send me any questions via the 'Contact' tab.

So excited to be rolling a new class out. Will I get to be seeing YOU to start the week embodied and present?

Such exciting news! Amber Charne, Natalie Remedi Scheuring and I are thrilled to share with you....the Yoga Mama Co-op, rolling out offerings beginning next week, the first of November! We are creating this container to help carry on the invaluable community for yoga loving mamas that the Pomegranate has fostered for almost a decade.

Please spread the word to expectant, new or seasoned mamas that there is a yoga community catered to their mamahood and, if they are birth mamas, their changing bodies too!

Yoga Mama Co-op is a way to connect to other women through yoga and mindfulness practices in order to support one another at various stages of motherhood. We offer three pods: prenatal, mom and baby, and the mom pod for women with children of any age.

Do you know that I offer private, one-on-one yoga sessions?! I LOVE working this deeply with clients.

"Veronica is kind, knowledgable and lighthearted. She’s also a deep soul with a welcome bu****it detector. You can’t fake this combination, it has to come from who you are. I signed up for four private lessons with her, having never done any yoga. I wanted to start a practice that didn’t feel like homework, that fit how I live and what I care about. She delivered beyond my hopes and now I practice regularly (mostly on my own, or at one of her classes). Highly recommended."- Tucker, Artist

"My work takes me all over the world, and I have dropped in on dozens of classes and teachers. Consequently, I have come to appreciate teachers who can strike a balance between postural mechanics and heart-centered wisdom. Veronica strikes that balance with ease. Core to this intuitive ease is her radiant spirit and her obvious love for what she does - a love that is both inspiring and contagious." - Jamie Redford, Documentary Filmmaker

Jamie was so humble and committed to his practice. Amidst his internationally demanded career, he took the time to write up one of the most eloquent testimonials I have ever received.

It is with a heavy heart that I learned of his death just a few days ago. I feel blessed to have gotten to experience his presence. Sirsasana, or headstand, was both of our favorite poses. He would always lift up into one before savasana. May your legacy carry your kindheartedness far into the future Jamie. With deep respect.
