🌞 ABUNDANT SUNSHINE 🌞

Today's forecast calls for Abundant Sunshine so it's the perfect day to take your pupper down to Charley B's for a puppucino!

The proceeds from this tasty $1 treat go to the Pembina Valley Humane Society. Just another way to support the become-yoga community in collecting donations in honor of the studio's 10th anniversary and my 48th birthday!

Tell them the Insull Girls sent you 🐾🐾

The Journey Through October

October is always a bittersweet month for me. It starts with celebrating become-yoga's anniversary and ends with Rob's death anniversary.

Each October has its own feel and this year has been a slow journey. Not a trudging through slow but a mindful slow. It has given me a chance to reflect (as I decided to celebrate become-yoga's 10th anniversary all month long), and a chance look ahead at what the future could hold.

The other day it occurred to me that this fall is the 5th year that I'm not substitute teaching or teaching a term at a local high school. After being an educator in various capacities for over 20 years, I finally decided to hang up my chalk and I can't believe how quickly these past 5 years have flown by!

It was scary to walk away, but as I let go of teaching, it created space for my business to grow. And grow it did!

These past 5 years have added so much depth to become-yoga's offerings through trainings including both human & animal Reiki (and a variety of other courses at Divine Clarity); Crystal Bowl Sound Healing (Vivian) & Sacred Voice training (Sound Healing Training & Crystal Singing Bowls); Aerial Yoga Hatha & Restorative/Yin (OM Yoga Studio); Yoga Nidra (Shell Andrea Yoga + Kirtan); and the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (Barrie Risman)...all not possible if I had continued to teach.

Don't get me wrong - I loved teaching and sharing my enthusiasm for math & science with many teenagers over the years. It was not wasted time as it makes me a better Yoga teacher today.

Letting go of teaching also gave me the space that I needed in my life to live my yoga. I don't simply teach yoga classes; I am choosing to live my life in a yogic way that doesn't require me to live in an Ashram but rather I am finding ways to incorporate yoga's teachings into how I live my life right where I am.

More learning & growing; more space to integrate & adapt; choosing a slower pace & deliberately living a different life have all changed not only what become-yoga has to offer...it has changed me!

With Deepest Gratitude 🙏

As we pause to give thanks this weekend, my heart is overflowing, especially as become-yoga celebrates her 10th anniversary this month!

In the spirit of giving, for each client that attends yoga over this next week, I'll be donating $5 to the Pembina Valley Humane Society. I'm encouraging my clients to also contribute and you can also join us by donating through the fundraiser pages setup on Instagram and Facebook or by heading directly to the PVHS website (pvhsociety.ca).

My goal is $480 multiplying become-yoga's 10th anniversary and my 48th birthday next month and your donation makes a difference, no matter the size!

I want to introduce you to our pupper friends Triss (pictures 1-5) & Dexter (pictures 6-10) who are both PVHS alumni! Their humans are my closest friends and I know how much join these dogs bring to their lives! Your donation helps to support the continuous need of PVHS in the Pembina Valley as their efforts care for so many pets in our region.

Wishing you & your family a blessed Thanksgiving!

become-flexible

The year was 2011 and in the course of a few months, my entire life changed. I stepped away from my family of origin, I met Rob, I started counseling and I found yoga.

become-balanced

Before long, I had moved from yoga in the freezing cold studio at FittWell with Kari, to a second weekly class with Janessa at the Morden Senior Centre & then in her home basement to classes with Sheena at the Access Centre & eventually Harmony Tree Studio.

become-present

Those humble beginnings and my Manitoba Fitness Council Yoga certification in 2014 came together to launch my business in 2016. A freak hail storm had MPI write off my car and the payout financed the first set of props: blocks, blankets, straps & eye pillows. With photos captured at Morden Beach, I designed the website & business cards, ready to open October 6.

become-you

From no one showing up 10 years ago to 19 people coming for 4 classes today alone. From just Hatha to begin to now also offering Restorative, Chair, Power and, for the first time this fall, Aerial Yoga! From renting a class at NPC to the public studio space on 1st Street to my intimate home studio on Cambridge Crescent.

become-yoga

🙏 Thank you to my lineage of teachers, most especially those who journeyed with me over the course of this past year: Barrie Risman Yoga, Kim of OM Yoga Studio in Estevan and Shell Andrea Yoga + Kirtan.

🙏 Thank you to each & every client who has joined the become-yoga community over this past decade to practice yoga together. I could not celebrate today without you!

🙏 Thank you to Izzy & Hunter who hold space with me for each class. I know their presence is healing and become-yoga is better because of them.

🙏 I am forever changed for where my journey has taken me as I've stepped into the powerful stream & flow that is yoga and I am eternally grateful.

"Thank you for bringing me here!"

On the eve to become-yoga's 10th anniversary, I remember the version of myself who put her heart & soul into launching this business a decade ago...

I want to tell her that everything will work out even when it doesn't look like it will. That even though it takes 3 weeks for the 1st client to arrive...in 10 years time, she'll have almost 70 people through her home studio each week, offering the greatest variety of yoga classes in the Pembina Valley including aerial yoga for the first time! AND that that first client still attends her classes...thank you Yvette Krahn 🙏

I want to tell her that the wish she whispers to the universe about completing her 200-hour Yoga Teaching Training with Barrie Risman will happen...and in Montreal no less!

I want to tell her that her mat will be the place she finds her voice, herself and her home. That this decade holds the greatest love she'll ever know as she learns to love herself & the Divine within.

I want to tell her that this will be the decade that she finally leaves teaching to find her true calling & purpose running her own business. I want her to know that there will come a time - sooner than she thinks - that playing small and living under other people's expectations just won't cut it anymore.

I want her to know how powerful she is; how courageous and how beautiful and how smart she is. I want her to know that each step she takes gets her closer to creating the amazing life that is waiting for her.

I want to tell her how proud I am of her. And how grateful I am that she carried on. I want to tell her that some of her darkest nights lie ahead...as well as some of her greatest joys! And that she already has the strength she needs for both.

I just want to tell her...because I wouldn't be here today without her.

We spent the day chasing the sun 🌞

What a beautiful day to get outside! Thank you Handmade in the Prairies 🌾 for the tickets to BarkFest The Ultimutt Dog Party!! We made sure to pick up our favorite Miss Kleos Pet Treats (PS - pre-orders for her awesome advent calendars are now on her website!) 🐾

After a few other stops, we ended the day at Maple Grove Dog Park soaking in all the amazing autumn hues 🍂

🎉 ANNIVERSARY RETREAT 🎉

With become-yoga's 10th anniversary in October, I'm hosting a special anniversary retreat on Sunday, October 25 from 10 am - 3:30 pm and you have a few more days to take advantage of the Early Bird Discount. Save $25 until Thursday, October 1.

Since moving into the public studio space on 1st Street in 2018, I've hosted many retreats offering a variety of sessions from local yoga teachers (and a few that ventured out from Winnipeg!). In celebration of become-yoga's decade of service, this one is my thanks to you for all your business over these past 10 years! Maybe it's been a while since you attended one or maybe you've never treated yourself to a retreat day - I'm inviting you to join me for what will be a special day together!

🧘🏽‍♀️ The day will begin with Gentle Yoga that is accessible to all. Even if you haven't practiced yoga regularly, you are welcome to come!

🍲 Lunch is always a treat with 2 homemade soups sensitive to any dietary restrictions including gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, and others.

💎 In the afternoon, you will design and make your own crystal bracelet. I found Angelite, Jade and Tourmaline column beads and have spared no expense on 6 mm beads (many of which have never been on my table or at a retreat/workshop before). Pictured are Angelite with Aquamarine, Tourmaline with Ametrine and Jade with Clear Quartz which all are powerfully healing crystals!

🎼 Afternoon tea/coffee is followed by a Sound Journey before you float out of the studio!

As a side note, all workshop & retreat participants always receive a discount to save on any Boutique purchase when you attend. If a certain necklace has caught your eye or you've been wanting to buy a gift for someone, this is a great time to do it!

If you have questions or want to reserve your spot, please let me know. You can book your spot with credit card on the website or DM Becomeyogastudio to pay with etransfer. The $125 Early Bird Price goes to $150 on October 2 so don't delay! Current yoga clients should contact me to save their 5% discount.

EMERGE - renew, transform, manifest

Yesterday the women of SANCTUARY gathered for the Autumn Equinox and after spending the morning catching up and having lunch, we enjoyed the afternoon outdoors.

It was a perfect day to walk the labyrinth thanks to Yael Fehr, using all our senses to savor the herbs and all of nature around us.

And than we closed our time together with a Yoga Nidra with Tawny Cox-Veldman.

See you all again for the Winter Solstice (if not sooner)!

8 YEARS AGO!

How lovely to receive a Facebook memory from 8 years ago when the work began at the 1st Street studio space!

It was such a HUGE leap of faith to open this public studio space after renting space at NPC but leap I did! The landlord fixed up the walls and moved the door (previously this space was a church sanctuary) and I had someone put in the subfloor and flooring while I primed & painted the 12' walls!

This space will always have a special place in my heart! It was where become-yoga really flourished & grew; it was where I found my voice; and it was a space I had to walk away from much earlier than I would have liked to between Rob's death and COVID.

Thank you for each one who came to practice in this space! My offerings expanded quickly from Hatha to also offering Restorative, Chair, Power and even Men's yoga. There were lots of retreats and workshops here even though our time was short (less than 1.5 years).

It's hard to believe that was just 8 years ago...it feels like a lifetime!
