How about a year of radical, imperfect action? Just pushing past neurotic cages and doing the thing, whatever the thing is. Mistakes, imperfections and all.
How about a year of the intention to be intentional? Literally the intention to remember to pause, and set an intention.
How about a belief that setting an intention now will be highly effective? That starting NOW - on 12/31/23 (or at any other moment really.. but, NOW), setting an intention will actually work well, and be surprisingly easy for us… easy as 123123… ?
….
What if it’s true?

Hey y’all - I have something fun coming up!
This January 25-29 I am teaching yoga at a retreat/spiritual gathering on the white sand shores of the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🏖️

The 99% quartz crystal beaches make this area world famous for its beauty and healing properties. Several different facilitators will be offering a variety of vibe-raising workshops in things like sacred breath work, chakra alignment, a full moon ceremony, and more.

I am in charge of the yoga portion, so I will be teaching 4 bhakti vinyasa yoga classes - one practice per day, plus I will be leading a special kirtan/sound healing.
You can come for the whole retreat immersion experience, or you can stay nearby, and just pick and choose your classes like a local. 😎

The retreat house is located in Bradenton (fly into Sarasota or Tampa), and the cost is $1100 for the whole thing (including accommodations and delicious food) or $35 per class/workshop.

DM me and I will link you up with the sign up page and the organizer and you can go from there.
Don’t resist January in Florida and the chance to get all bhakti-ed out together… if this sounds good to you, let it be, and just come!
It’s going to be magical ✨

I miss singing with you guys! Join me for a Yoga-Sing-Along on Sunday at 10am PST (and yoga at 9am)... Link is in bio (or DM me your email for this week’s class links). NOW SING! 😊

Hey guys - I started a YouTube channel! It’s called betsylovesyoga - because, well, I DO! 💁‍♀️
Now we can practice anywhere, anytime... 🥳
There will be more ways that I will be entering the online teaching space in the days and weeks to come.... But first things first - things are complicated enough right now, so here it is: simple, easy, accessible, straight-forward, YouTube-a-rific!
This is my gift to you, so take it, and tell your friends! If you wish to support my work further, you can donate through Venmo
Right now I have this ⬆️18 min ‘Yoga Vitamin’ up, as well as a 70 min Bhakti Flow class that is specifically intended to provide strategies and encouragement for those with any type of upper body injury (arms, shoulders, wrists, hands etc), who still want to practice full on, vinyasa flow style yoga. .. And since it’s ‘full on’ - that means you don’t actually ‘need’ an upper body injury to enjoy the practice. 😉
Ok! Keep calm and practice on! ♥️

Friends: I am humbled, honored, and PSYCHED to announce that, starting this week, I will be teaching the Saturday 9am class at Yoga Flow, Ocean Ave!
Have you been there yet? It is, quite literally, a temple. 🏛
Oh yeah - WITH childcare. 👼.. The perfect place to come to the mat and offer the practice as prayer.
🧘
(And you know we’re about to get FUNKY in there - so - respectfully - you best be ready to WERK!)
🙌
Like any yoga teacher, I am first a student, and I cling to the feet of my teachers. - THANK YOU.
When I begin my practice each day, the first thing is, I try to remember God/The Big Something Bigger - and that I am, somehow, a part of that. 😮🤯🎉
Then I roll over and say each of your names, out loud.
I remember each of you, every day.
🧖‍♀️🧖🧖🧖‍♂️🧖‍♀️
And then I go out there and try to do you all proud. I try to remember and embody all that you’ve taught me.
Of course, I’m still a weird little human, so it doesn’t always go like that... But I am committed to coming back again and again... to trying and trying till I run out of tries.
I am grateful to each of you for figuring out how to shine your light bright enough for others, like me, to see.... so that I can figure out how my own light works, and then shine it up so others can see and get their own lights working, and so on.. Until not a single lamp remains unlit, until the path appears bright as day, until we overcome all the darkness, together.
One light at a time.
One breath at a time.
🎇
See you on Saturday mornings☀️ - or check my website (link in bio) for my whole dang sched.
(And a special thanks to and for being a flashpoint of manifestation and light in this maybe-not-so-scary-afterall universe! )

Have you ever met someone who seemed so ‘superior’, who situated themselves mentally in a one-up position? I have, and it seems to me to be a tough and lonely road.
TRUTH. As it is. We can run, but we can’t hide... the truth is the TRUTH. It’s coming for us all. But it’s not easy - it takes tremendous courage to go deep into the places that are embarrassing, or to own the stuff that we ‘should be over by now’ but still packs a punch. 👊
We might feel little, or less than when faced with the icky stuff about ourselves - but remember that everyone has it.
Our weaknesses and imperfections don’t make us less, they make us normal.
In the end, grappling with all this creates humility and compassion. By really sitting with our stuff, we can be as we are, and take each other in, for real. This way, we can actually be together - in all of our embarrassingly imperfect glory!

So it’s my bday today AND I get to teach the 4:30 class at Love Story today - how fun is that?!
♥️🥳🙏
I am grateful for all of the blessings in my life - seen and unseen. And I am grateful to all of the amazing people around me who keep making these trips around the sun so dang fun!
