Dear Hearth Yoga Friends and Family,

Wow. This is it!

One year.

One year of offering adaptive, accessible yoga via Zoom to you in the comfort of your home.

One year of Adventure Yoga.

One year of Yoga for Strong Bones.

One year of Adaptive Hatha.

One year of smiles, tears, inhales, and exhales.

One year of tall spines and shaking it out.

One year.

A year ago today, I took a leap. I [like most of us] had no idea how long our lives would be "different"/"not exactly normal."

All I knew was that since I began offering Yoga 4 Cancer on 3/17/20 and Adaptive Hatha to family and friends I had been getting requests and increasingly concerned questions that went like this:

"When the pandemic is done, and I sure hope it's soon, is there any chance you'd still offer yoga via Zoom?"

And then the comments came:

"I like that I can do it from home."

"I love using my counter and bed as props."

"By doing this at home, I can make it to class on work nights."

"I love that I can wear cozy clothing/pajamas,"

"I love to practice with my dog/cat/turtle."

So....with each question and comment, you planted a seed and on 5/4/20, Hearth Yoga was born.

This post is to say THANK YOU.

Thank you for all who have come to classes, shared their light, and encouraged family and friends to attend.

Thanks to you and your support:

We've held space for folks far and wide: NJ, PA, NY, NC, CA, UT, WA, MD...

We've raised funds for terrific causes including:

Living Beyond Breast Cancer

ZERO: The End of Prostate Cancer

AND...

We're only getting started.

The journey continues!

On this fine May the 4th:

Please take a moment to find your spine.

Step outside.

Plant your feet on the ground and exhale fully. Inhale through your nose and then sigh it out.

Feel the connection of your feet with the ground.

Feel the connection of your breath with the world around you as you exhale.

Feel the connection of the world with your heart as you inhale.

The Force is within you and around you.

Your breath is your window to The Force--the energy that connects us all.

Little threads of light that reach out from your heart and extend across the Universe--connecting us through time and space.

Your magic comes from within.

Your breath gives you access to that magic.

You are one exhale away from your next big adventure.

Sigh it out. Shake it off.

Find your Celebration Yoga and honor yourself today.

Happy Unbirthday to you from Hearth Yoga!

May you be happy.

May you be well.

May you be safe,

May your be peaceful and at ease.

And now...for those who read this far, a treat.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Wishing you peace, joy, love, and light,

Tami
