Yoga with Becca

I know, I know, there’s a sh*t ton of Harvest Activities and Fall Festivals and Boos at the Zoo and Pumpkin Patches galore right now. But you don’t have to smell farm animals at this activity. And you don’t have to carry pumpkins. And costumes are optional, but not required. And there’s some cool music. And it won’t be very crowded. And you might learn something new. And you don’t have to clean corn kernels out of your kids’ hair after this. And you get complete control of their snacking, because we won’t have any candy. And you won’t have to wait in line for pictures. And no one will miss their bedtime.
And I’ll be there, with Nora and Fiona!

So I do hope you’ll come visit us and see the lovely kinds of community we can make in the city, even though I know the country is beautiful and petting goats is like, the best. It’s no hayride, but I promise it will be good fun.

Just a little “about me.”
I love learning new things. I wanted to be a journalist for a while just so I could hear and feature lots of different things from professionals and amateurs alike. My favorite thing about my graduate studies was that there were so many avenues of folklore to explore. I had to promise my husband, after completing my MA, not to go back to school.
So I love studying.
But I ALSO love telling stories. One of my favorite jobs I’ve ever held was a tour guide.
And I ESPECIALLY love putting knowledge and stories together in ways that make people go “oooooh!”
Not just in a “I didn’t know that” way, but also in a “that makes a difference in my life” way.
And through it all, movement has been a way to express and control and learn and feel and live.
And those are the main ingredients within my recipe for yoga teacher.

I’m big sad and big angry.
I’m grieving for the young woman [Jane Doe in the Cornell case].
I’m grieving for her mother.
I’m grieving for all young women. I’m grieving for all mothers.
I’m grieving for the future of my girls.

I’m also absolutely enraged at the less than a slap on the wrist the Cornell young men faced, and at the Cornell board that backed that decision.
And at all the same situations that didn’t make national news.

So I’m doing the best thing I know to do: move. Feel the feelings, let them settle, and deal with what’s left. Which is still rage, but in a less “take over my entire nervous system” kinda way.

This is not prescriptive, just suggestive. Move how you need to move. Scream and cry as much as and as long as you need to. Feel perhaps a bit better afterwards. I’m pretty sure you won’t feel worse. And then keep your therapy appointment.

Come join me in this cozy little corner of yoga within this pretty kickin’ gym.
Seriously: I’ve taught a lot of yoga at a lot of different places, and most of the time it’s pretty isolating at a gym. But at Norton Sports Health Performance and Wellness Center, yoga is welcomed, encouraged, and supported, even if we’re just a tiny piece of the much larger puzzle.

Yoga teachers make stupid mistakes, too. Just sayin’

Dinner tonight courtesy of two lovely yogis from my classes! One who brought a beautiful eggplant from her garden, and one who gifted me a cookbook meant for kids and getting them to eat more vegetables. Must have worked, because Nora requested this eggplant pizza. And, because I’m extra, I made breadsticks. 😋
Thanks, yoga family! 🥰

Summer Solstice scenes! My dreamed-up blueberry bread, sun tea w/ flowers, and art which should be cited, except I can’t make out the author’s name 🤷‍♀️
But summer solstice nonetheless! 🌞 💐
