A small ask from my heart.

If you’ve worked with me as a therapy client, yoga student, workshop participant, colleague, or collaborator and feel comfortable doing so, would you consider leaving a short Google review?

You don’t need to share anything personal. Even a few words about your experience working with me can help others who are quietly looking for support or a class feel more at ease reaching out.

Small, local practices grow through community, and your voice truly matters.

No pressure at all. Just gratitude. ✨

I’ll place the link in the comments.

If You’ve Felt “Off” Lately, You’re Not Alone

With the recent new moon, eclipse energy, and the shift into a new lunar year, your body may be processing more than your mind can explain.

You might feel:
• unsettled
• emotional
• reflective
• activated
• tired
• pulled toward change

Or you might feel nothing at all.

All of it is valid.

Eclipses and new moons are traditionally associated with beginnings. But beginnings are not always loud or dramatic. Sometimes they feel like:

• grief for what is ending
• discomfort in the unknown
• subtle awareness rising
• old emotions resurfacing

If something is coming up for you, you do not need to force clarity.

Hold yourself gently.

Instead of asking:
“What should I do?”

Try asking:
“What is asking to be noticed?”

Grounding Support for This Week:

• Put your bare feet on the earth, even for 2 minutes
• Lengthen your exhale slightly longer than your inhale
• Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly
• Name three things you can see around you

Let the energy move through.
You do not have to rush the unfolding.

If you are feeling unsteady, remember:
Activation is not a sign you are doing something wrong. It is often a sign something inside is reorganizing.

Flow. Don’t force.

And if what is surfacing feels overwhelming, this is where support matters. You do not have to process change alone.

With care,
Bobbi Jo 🤍
