Two more weekends to go! Both for the current TT500 group, and for me. I've been teaching the 200 and 500 hour programs in Des Moines since 2021, and this group is special, as I will be stepping away from teaching this program after July. Yesterday, during lunch of our last day together this month, I invited the previous 500 hour graduates in Des Moines (we missed Michelle who was busy with her son's graduation and Cindy who is in Lawrence, KS) to have lunch and connect with this group. It was a lovely way to end the weekend by sharing who we are, what we're all doing with this work, and how to stay connected, moving forward.

I don't know what the future holds as far as teaching this program again at some point, but I do plan to focus more on some other things I haven't had time to put as much time and effort into. Stay tuned! !

Lastly, (I think) regarding the new branding, the new logo..... ReForm Yourself! It feels like we're often told that we can't change certain things (posture), or we didn't know we could change them (how we breathe all the time), or that it would matter..... You CAN ReForm yourself. You can re-educate your breath pattern and reset and recalibrate your nervous system. You can realign your posture and repattern muscle movements. You can rewire your brain and re-educate your nervous system. You can rebalance your core. You can restore your energy. You can....... with multiple tools, starting with Somatics and Interoception, and with persistence.

The multi-tool. This came from a client who kept telling me that what I do is a multi-tool, in a healthcare world where everything is so specialized. She sees and has seen a lot of providers from Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, Medical Doctors including a few specialists, Acupuncturists, Massage Therapists, etc. Each of these professions is their own multi-tool to some extent, but she went on to say, "You have so many tools, that no matter what I show up with and need help with, you might use an entirely different tool." Yoga Therapy has a lot of tools in its toolbox already, and a wide variety, and she also reminded me that not only do I use those tools, but I sprinkle in some Occupational Therapy tools, such as myofascial release which is used with the Somatics tool of assisted pandiculation, to help people release muscles that have been chronically contracted for a long time, and simple craniosacral techniques. She said to me one day, "I feel like you only use what you need to, so that I can feel it and/or do it myself, and nothing more, so that I get better results, and I can do things on my own if needed." The fact that she is able to understand that, made me feel like I was doing the right thing in this work. The last thing she has said is that because I have so many tools and areas of knowledge, is that I also refer to other practitioners more, so they can use their specific techniques to help what she is doing in Somatic Yoga Therapy.

I could have left this off. The new logo could be complete without it. It might make it feel too busy or like there's too much there. I couldn't leave it off. It felt/feels right. It feels like a missing piece from my last logo/branding. What's great is that there may be times I represent ReForm with it, or without it, or without the infinity symbol and person, etc., etc. because I want to showcase that piece. Just like I do in sessions, use what is necessary. It's a Multi-Tool Method.

Sunday with Hanna Somatics brought a lot of different practitioners and ways they are incorporating Somatics... here are some of my favorites from the day. Arc and I will be doing more Somatics together! Thanks for a great learning weekend!

Inifinity symbol and person with arms up: the why's:
The infinity symbol was present before, with Atha's logo, as it's foundational in this work. First because it implies that we're trying to find balance, rather than "going full circle" or worse, getting stuck in the circle of insanity! Because we're always a work in progress/moving, this work helps us to find balance, in all aspects of our lives. The change in the symbol itself, with the added lines, again brings the feel of movement within the symbol.

The person in the middle, is because the person/you are the center of this work. Everything we do in a private session is based around you and what's important to you. It's a working relationship between you and your ReStore practitioner. The person is also standing in good postural alignment and with arms raised in celebration of feeling good! The dot at the bottom symbolizes grounding (wait, how can a circle be grounding?) Again, even with grounding and balance, we need it to be fluid, not stuck or stagnant. Pam@athasomayoga.com
