9 Years of Teaching, a Lifetime of Benefits

Coming up on nine years of teaching yoga, I look back at where I started in 2017 and realize one thing: The benefits are real, and they last.

I’m 57 now. While my knees might give me a "quiet nudge" every now and then, my body feels vibrant and strong. Yoga isn’t just an exercise; it’s a pathway to healing and wellbeing for your mind, body, and spirit.

No matter where you are in life, there is a place for you on the mat:

Teenagers: Build flexibility and core strength.

Moms: Reclaim your "me time" and nurture the woman behind the busy schedule.

Professionals: Reset and leave the workday stress behind.

Athletes: Condition for agility and injury prevention.

Elders: Gain body confidence, better breathing, and balance.

Healing Hearts: Find calm through trauma, grief, or anxiety.

✨ Start Your Journey Today
It is never too late to begin. Whether you are 17 or 77, your body wants your care and consideration.

A Message for This Season

As the world gathers its pace and the holidays begin to press in,
we return to the quiet place within ourselves—
the place that remembers our natural rhythm.
The place that knows when we are full,
when we are tired,
and when our spirit needs spaciousness more than performance.

In this season of invitations and expectations,
we are allowed to pause.
We are allowed to say no.
Not as an act of resistance, but as an act of honoring.
A way of tending to the flame that keeps us grounded,
present,
and whole.

There will always be voices calling us outward—
requests, obligations, traditions that assume more of us
than we can authentically give.
But our well-being is not something to negotiate away.
Our truth does not need permission.

Today, let us remember that balance is not found in doing more,
but in listening more deeply.
To the breath.
To the body.
To the quiet knowing that rises when we give ourselves space.

May we move through this season with clarity,
offering what is ours to give,
and gently releasing what is not.
May we trust that saying no can sometimes be
the most compassionate yes—
to ourselves,
to our health,
and to the deeper rhythm that guides us home.

Gering and Scottsbluff Team Up to Celebrate the 2025 Christmas Season

Communities Partner to Promote Regional Holiday Events, Festivities, and Family Traditions

The communities of Gering and Scottsbluff are joining together this year to celebrate the Christmas season with a full lineup of festive, family-friendly holiday events. For the first time, both cities, local tourism organizations, merchants, and cultural attractions have coordinated a regional holiday calendar to promote the best of the season across the valley.

This coordinated effort includes a partnership between the City of Gering, Gering Tourism, Gering Merchants, City of Scottsbluff, Downtown Scottsbluff Association, Midwest Theater, Scotts Bluff National Monument, Legacy of the Plains Museum, Riverside Discovery Center, Wildcat Hills State Recreation Area, Scotts Bluff County Tourism, and the West Nebraska Arts Center.

A shared calendar of events, updated throughout the season, is available at www.VisitGering.com

This year, the Gering Merchants opted not to host a separate Christmas parade, choosing instead to support the Downtown Scottsbluff Christmas Parade, which kicks off the holiday season on Sunday, Nov. 23 at 5:45 p.m.

The Scottsbluff parade will offer the region one large, vibrant Christmas celebration, drawing visitors to both communities as part of the shared effort to strengthen holiday events valley-wide.

The holiday season officially begins in Gering with the opening of Santa Village at the Gering Civic Plaza on Friday, November 29, with the Opening Celebration from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.; and the Official Lighting Ceremony from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Santa Village features festive Christmas cottages created by local businesses and organizations, visits with Santa, twinkling lights, and a Hallmark-style holiday atmosphere in downtown Gering. The Village will be open to the public from Nov. 29 through Christmas.

The collaboration between Gering and Scottsbluff highlights the many traditions, attractions, and seasonal activities available for families, visitors, and residents throughout December.
Featured events include:
• Midwest Theater holiday performance of Shaun Johnson Big Band Experience and many favorite holiday films;
• Legacy of the Plains Museum holiday activities, including Trees Along the Trail, Yuletide Lights and High Plains Christmas;
• Riverside Discovery Center’s “Wild Lights” nighttime zoo light experience; and
• Wildcat Hills SRA (which is on the Nebraska Holiday Passport this year) nature-themed programs and winter hikes

These, along with many other community holiday happenings, are all listed in one place on the VisitGering.com events calendar.
Local organizers say this year’s collaboration reflects a growing commitment to regional cooperation.

“Our goal is to make the entire valley shine for the holidays,” said Tina Worthman, Tourism Director for the City of Gering. “By working together, we’re strengthening our events, supporting our merchants, and creating a memorable Christmas season for residents and visitors alike.”

“This kind of partnership benefits both communities,” added Tevia Daly, the Recreation and Events Supervisor for the City of Scottsbluff. “It brings people downtown, strengthens local business, and helps us showcase the magic of the holidays across the entire region.”

A full listing of Christmas events from Gering, Scottsbluff, and partner organizations can be found on the VisitGering.com events calendar. You can also find information about Scottsbluff Parks and Recreation on their page, Scottsbluff Parks and Recreation
