We are just 7 days away from opening day and the beginning of classes for Zen Bend Yoga, located at The Emerald Nook. I have many feelings that are whirling within me. Each day that goes by, I look forward to September 7th with great anticipation.
I am thrilled and eager to continue growing within my community. My love for yoga has evolved into something far greater. I recall first expressing my desire to start a yoga YouTube channel when my oldest son was 3, and now he is 11. I also remember declaring my intention to become a yoga teacher in 2017, and I achieved that goal just a year later. Reflecting on my journey, it's wonderful to see the progress I've made. I even remember being in third grade and wanting to become an elementary school teacher.
Every step in my journey confidently propelled me forward. Even during times when I paused and my focus shifted, I consistently returned to my dreams and passion. I was determined to keep moving forward. Any lack of progress unsettled me, and I embraced those feelings, allowing them to flow through me like waves. Rather than resist, I let the current guide me, always returning to what my heart truly desired.
So here’s to grounding down and striding forward into new beginnings and uncharted territory. Although I am now treading new waters, there’s something familiar that continues to guide me forward and closer to each goal along my journey.
You can join me for in person classes starting 7 September at 9:00am located at The Emerald Nook. To sign up for class, visit https://www.vagaro.com/zenbend

With love,
