The Cinnamon Roll Lesson: Why We Rise Better Together
Over Christmas break, I learned something unexpected while baking cinnamon rolls—a lesson that reminded me exactly why Gather To Heal exists.
My first batch? I carefully spaced each roll apart on the pan, giving them "room to grow." What I got was a disaster. They spread out in weird directions, lost their shape, and ended up looking… well, let's just say they were more "abstract art" than "bakery window." Messy. Uneven. Kind of sad, honestly.
But then I decided to try something different. For the second batch, I nestled those rolls right up against each other—packed in close, touching on all sides. And you know what happened? They rose together into these beautiful, perfectly formed swirls. Each one supporting the next. They held their shape. They became something worth sharing.
That's when it hit me: We're just like those cinnamon rolls.
When we try to do everything alone—whether it's our wellness journey, our yoga practice, or just navigating life—we can end up feeling a little… spread out. Messy. Like we're growing in too many directions at once without anything to hold us steady.
But when we show up in community? When we roll up next to each other on our mats, breathe together, support each other through the wobbly poses and the strong ones? That's when we find our form. That's when we rise into something beautiful.
You weren't meant to figure it all out alone. You were meant to grow alongside others who get it—who'll hold space for you, who'll be there when you need that extra support to stay grounded and aligned.
So here's your invitation: Come cinnamon roll with us. 🧡
Join us at Gather To Heal, where community isn't just a nice idea—it's how we rise. Let's pack in close, support each other, and become the best versions of ourselves together.
Because the truth is, trying to do yoga all by yourself? It's just a mess. But together? We rise beautifully.
Ready to find your community? Check our class schedule and roll up to the mat with us. First class is on us for new students—because everyone deserves to rise alongside others.
