The progression of practice in the house when animals are nearby 😂❤️

Today I had cancelled all classes because bending over was not a functional movement in this body today. My main concern was setting up for class and bringing all the props out. That is a lot of bending and standing. I would move a particular direction and it would take my breath. I still had all my yoga stuff in the house from the retreat I returned from this weekend. So I got it out and I was correct about putting things out. It was a challenge just setting this spot up🥴. As soon as I put the blanket down my oldest cat climbed on it. So when I was able to get my body to the floor to open my psoas he was between my arms and I was petting his bony body. He doesn’t look small but his muscles have a lot of atrophy 😢. He wanted to be close to me. He wanted me to love him. He needed touch. As I was opening my psoas I just started to cry. My thoughts had traveled to losing him soon. He is 16 almost 17 and his health is failing. It’s as if he knows and wants to soak up the love and as I type this out my eyes well up at the thought of him passing. So I stopped what I was doing and put my legs around him to surround him with the warmth of my body and just pet and massaged and brushed him, even used the massage gun lightly on him as he loves that. I did that til he was done being touched then went on with my practice.

It wasn’t my typical movement. Not even all the miofascial release was like I normally do it. It was just different today. I have known our studio is in a transition of movement but just haven’t found that movement yet. What this weekend’s retreat did for me is help to unstick my brain. I know that what I learned this weekend isn’t the movement I have been looking for but because it moved me differently it helped to shift my brain to different patterns of movement. Things are shifting and I’m freakin excited about it❤️

Monday Classes cancelled…. I tweaked my back yesterday. Practicing what I preach about listening to your body. I really wanted to be in our space together with all muh lovelies today. But I also don’t want to deal with this several days. Doing some body work today on myself. My hope is to function well enough to be able to set up for classes tomorrow!!

Beginning Tuesday March 3, will be our 8 week Beginners Shuffling course!!

I am so excited to learn this!!! I haven’t even ever been able to do The Running Man.

This is just another modaity of movement to challenge both our bodies and our minds. Learning new things creates new neuro pathways in the brain for better cognition . Keeps us sharp! It’s not about perfection , it’s about movement and having fun and learning new things.

Reserve your spot as we will create your dance “box” before you arrive. We will be using tape to help with where your feet move to with each step. Grace will break down each step for us.

You can expect some warm up drills, ample practice time and some foot lovin when we are done to make sure we are taking care of our feet and ankles.

You can wear shoes or just socks but make sure your shoes are low traction shoes. They need to glide.

If you are a monthly member this class is free to you. For all other registrations it is $10 per class.

Registration is required so we can have your spot prepared and space is limited. Don’t miss out on this fun opportunity !

I am in need is some good feedback!! You can comment below or privately message me your thoughts.

We got incredible feedback and interest from our Friday Night Dance 💃🏻

For several months now our Tuesday evening classes have been nearly non-existent. Not sure why the drop in Tuesdays but I have felt that this time slot is opening for something new but wasn’t sure what to offer. I teach 16 classes a week and feel like our yoga offerings are a plenty😅. As a woman in her 50’s and in menopause I have been researching what would help my body to function better and it all shows that strengthening hips and glutes which is the largest fat burning muscles in our bodies is what I need. Also as I am aging my brain needs exercise and to create new neuro pathways to keep me sharp. Learning new things helps with that. So I personally have things I want to learn but to carve out more time aside from yoga just isn’t happening. After our Friday Night Dance session was over I felt freakin fantastic! Not only in my body but in my soul. Deep deep down inside felt great. And when I feel great I want others to experience that same feeling. My daughter has offered her services on Tuesday nights. So I need input on interest.

I want to learn how to shuffle and there is a lot of brain work in that. She is offering an 8 week course to learn fundamentals and muscle memory to work us into that pattern of movement. So don’t expect to leave after the first class shuffling haha! If you do then bonus for you! I expect it will take me awhile. Then following this 8 week course we will move into a Tuesday evening twerk fitness class. Whether you aspire to twerk or not, the conditioning for that movement is 🔥!!! It works all the areas including an incredible amount of core that we as women need. The twerk fitness class will be women only so you have a safe, free your inhibitions atmosphere to practice in. Shuffling class all are welcome!! What I mostly want to gain from this experience is to UNLOCK all the things bound up. I want to be strong in all the muscles that carry me around. And if I am able to eventually get some b***y bounce I won’t be sad about that. So I am curious who would enjoy these offerings? PLEASE GIVE FEEDBACK!!😉😘

It was Yogalicious🤤

02/07/2026

Join us on Sundays for Yogalicious from 9:30-11!
This is the class we used to have on Saturdays until everyone preferred to sleep in on Saturdays 😂. I fully support adequate rest😉

We finished up Ashtanga Sundays and I just needed a good break from the incredibly busy season. I have been missing my Sunday vibe practice. I have realized I much prefer a Sunday practice over Saturdays.

This class gives us plenty of time to do all the things I want to do in all the classes but am limited to time constraints.

Please register below as I set up before you get here to make your experience the best it can be. Come for as much of it as you want. I always tell my lovelies some movement is better than no movement.

This class is only $5 for non Breathing Room Tribe members and of course is free to all my Breathing Room Tribe monthly members.

See you on the mat tomorrow!
