Yoga with Amanda / Practice Not Perfect

Who hearts Libra season? ❤️🍁🎃✋🏼 All the fall leaves and pumpkin spice and the beginning of SWEATER WEATHER is so refreshing! But I think one of the unconscious reasons we all LOVE this season so much is it’s the season of BALANCE. ⚖️ Which of course takes me right back to yoga!

This week’s Yoga Sunday School, a virtual yoga experience, will be dedicated not only to the Libran queens among us (happy birthday babes!), but to the ENERGY we are all experiencing right now. We'll take a look at these themes and more, with an aim of creating balance in our bodies, so we can find the balance within (and in relationship to others!)

Virtual yoga is great because it:

- Offers accountability for your at-home practice.
- Is more peaceful & better for the environment than driving to a studio or gym.
- Prevents you from succumbing to common at-home workout temptations (getting bored, shutting your computer, flopping on your couch!)
- Allows for a different type of connection when we see people’s closets, offices, views from their windows and patios - and let them know we accept them for who they are!
- Allows kids or husbands to join in.
- It's your choice to connect after class ... or quickly re-insert yourself into your day.

What if the "busy" way of life that we once considered normal is actually not optimal for us?

What if it's not the way we really want our lives to be?

What if "normal" was, in many ways, keeping us from choosing PEACE?

What if it was keeping us from becoming the best versions of ourselves, our businesses from going in the direction that they really needed to go?

As things "open back up" and we become more busy I believe it's a really good moment to think about:

💥 Opportunities for change
💥 Personal & societal values
💥 What do I truly want to bring to life, in my life?
💥 What is the value of slowing down?

When you get into the mindset of, “Well, I'm going to wait until we return to normal,” it keeps you from making decisions out of clarity, when the universe is practically screaming: “Hey! It's a time for change!”

What if the new normal, the slow life, has things for us that are going to be our greatest lessons?

What are the things that you're doing right now that you'd like to continue?

Some of mine:
- I've discovered new ways to teach my children
- I learned to skateboard
- I'm serving my customers more deliberately & effectively (in my "day jobs")
- I've been driving less (< carbon footprint), buying less & saving more
- I'm spending more time outdoors & on the water
- I'm more committed than ever to educating myself & taking action on social justice issues
- I'm even more in love with growing & cooking my own food
- I'm deeply researching the organizations to whom I donate
- I'm taking the time to look at the root causes of my aches & pains (and helping clients do the same!)
- I'm providing consistent, quality online yoga classes for those who appreciate the convenience, accountability, community, PEACE & simplicity of live online yoga (... and YES, my audio is ROCKING!).

All of these things take TIME, time I didn't have before the pandemic forced me to re-evaluate & slow the heck down.

I would love to hear your thoughts! What's your new normal?

I continue to teach because I believe this practice can heal our world, by creating awareness, peace, balance & non-judgment within our own hearts - the first step towards healing our world. An at-home practice makes things simpler, more accessible and helps us all have time to practice high-quality yoga, wherever we are. I'm looking forward to practicing with you again this coming week.
