Gentle Yoga with my people!✨

This week so far I’ve practiced Ashtanga with *new-to-our-studio* facilitators, went out to tea with another teacher here (who’s been with us nearly 4 years), met with our lead teacher for some behind the scenes YTT planning, and connected with so many students teaching classes and helping with check in at the front desk! I love our yoga family.

We have a team challenge this month of participation in classes: being a student ourselves, assisting, giving feedback to one another, and trying all the class styles to support as many of our team as we can!

Supporting each other in our mission and purpose to share yoga as a healing art and science is what Santosha Yoga Collective is all about.🤗

I always said I wanted to be able to spend all day on my mat practicing, studying, and teaching, and here I am.

A continuous reminder that you get to create the life you dream.💛💛

I got to step into this amazing staff team as a guest faculty coach for Transformative Coaching Essentials training this weekend.❤️🖤Cami McLaren | Coach Trainer

Weekend 6 is one of my favorites, learning all about the skills of vision, purpose, intention, and truly stepping into your power. 💪 This is my third year of sitting in the room with this curriculum and these visualizations, practices, and meditations are powerful!

Of course I also had to get a scan of all the snacks…🤭

And this round we were temporarily relocated to the Placer SPCA conference room, which meant that on break I got to see the kittens 🥹 and this little strawberry blonde baby had my heart.🥰🥰

Thank you, Cami, for building such an amazing space for change, growth, and service. The permanent staff were all so welcoming and fun to partner with for the weekend Reina Hosier Becca Drumbor Deborah Coughlin 🥳🥳

And thank you Coach Meg for being my guest coaching buddy! (And snapping the pic of me looking totally posh in my stargazer glasses.🤣 *literally angling my face so I could see without my prescription lenses* )

Can’t wait to see where all these amazing new coaches take off from here!

Thai Massage session with this beauty!💛💛

Cheryl has known me since the beginning of my yoga teaching journey and is one of our Chair Yoga regulars at Santosha Yoga Collective. It’s so fun how much these women have become friends, and adopted moms and grandmas. I was thrilled to support her in a private Thai Massage session this week.✨

Thai Massage is like a supported Yin Yoga session, focusing on acupressure points and fascia release as well as joint mobility and deep relaxation of the nervous system.😌

Thai Massage can be adapted to ALL bodies and mobility levels. The session is 100% customized to YOU!

Curious about Thai Massage bodywork? Private sessions with me are open weekly.🙌

Coachy friends out in the wild!💛

Matt and I were able to catch Paul between his nomadic travels and share updates about life, adventures, and sub-contract coaching work.😉

It’s a glamorous profession, yall!

Coaching community is some of the absolute best people you will ever meet, and the opportunities to socialize together are never dull.

10/10 recommend.👌
