I am so excited that my lovely yoga sister and friend Megs is offering two yoga series’ in February!

Soma Yoga Sat Feb Megs

These are part of her practicum and I am truly impressed with her graphic design skills. Any of y’all in the Twin Cities?!? Check them out! Megs is a lovely yogi and she also teaches Pilates. I am very excited for what she has to offer and what I will learn from her.

I think in my next life I will be a marketing person for yoga-related businesses. 🙂

Oh well, if things don’t work out in my current clinical research career… I will have to pivot. I actually really enjoy my current career, but there’s no rule that says we can’t do more than one thing we love.

I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to get to know so many outstanding women in my yoga cohort. They are doing amazing and brave work! And they are such great teachers that I love taking their classes!

Saturday Share – gentle yoga

I am so excited that my friend Krista is offering this class as a post-work wind down at Tula Yoga on Tuesday nights. I’m hoping to make it to every class. I can certainly use this on an average work day, and for those in the Twin Cities, it is a great and affordable way to try out a soma yoga series.

Yes, yes. I am obsessed with “all things yoga” this month. But admit it, you’re learning a bit from that, no?

LOL.

Happy Saturday, all. Get some quality relaxation time and enjoy the weather change if you love fall like I do.

And if you’re running the Twin Cities marathon: even more of a reason to sign up for some yoga!

Two years ago I began this blog on Labor Day weekend and I realize I have just passed that milestone with nearly 600 posts on this blog since I started in 2017.

To those of you who have read, supported, liked and commented: my sincere thanks! I continue to enjoy this journey with you. What a great privilege to have platforms like this where we can share our ideas and connect with others!

This practice of regular posting has been a joyful part of my weekly routine especially in a time of a lot of personal and career transition for me. I am considering how to evolve the blog as I embrace my new job and also near the end of my yoga teacher training.

I have a deep interest in workplace wellness, as a manager and a coach for employees. I will likely share on this topic regularly. Also, as I begin teaching yoga, which I intend to do in order to practice my new skills, I will likely share what I learn in that context. There is a lot of overlap here.

Thank you again for your support and engagement here! I wish you well and look forward to what the next year holds.

Gratefully,

Ideas that won’t leave you

~ meximinnesotana ~ 5 Comments

Yesterday I got an idea for a 5-session yoga series I want to offer as part of my YTT internship hours in October.

CDF8AC9C-1EE4-4FE9-ABAD-5F82F1B68B3B

My mind found this particular idea irresistible, and I had a hard time NOT thinking about it. Ironically enough it is a course on “yoga for over-thinkers.” It seems a perfect offering for myself as well, so the irony was not lost on me.

Richard Bach said that “you teach best what you most want to learn.” Before now, I had been aware of the phrase, but not the attribution. So I was compelled to look up a little more about Bach, since I had heard of one of his books.

More than that, the idea of teaching in order to fully master a topic is something that has been present for much of my life in various opportunities.

Over-thinking is common to a lot of our lives and it’s a theme I was seeing in my coaching clients as well as others I have mentored on their careers as well.

So I will embrace this idea, and walk fully into it with the vulnerability and with the attention that this course requires. May I share some learning with my students, and more fully embrace the lessons as well.

Are you also an over-thinker?
