Dear Reader,

This week, I simply want to remind you (and myself) that we each contain multitudes—and our presence adds light and color to the world in ways we may not always see. Please read this poem by Becky Hemsley any time you start to forget your worth…

“I looked up the word ‘yellow’ the other day. I found so many shades of yellow that they had been distinguished by words like

gold
honey
daffodil.

I found words like fire and sand and champagne and lemon and sunbeam and I even found a song.

Now imagine someone telling yellow that it’s ‘just yellow.’ When yellow is a sunbeam and a daffodil and fire. When yellow is a song.

Without yellow, we couldn’t make orange and couldn’t create green and our world would be far less colourful because of it.

Yellow’s true colours are not limited to one thing. And neither are yours.

Some days you are dark and fiery and intense.
Some days you are rich and bright and vibrant.
Some days you are buttercups and dandelions and
some days you are champagne and a song.

And without you, someone’s life would be far less bright and far less beautiful.

You are you as
yellow is yellow.
And the world needs you.

Because, no matter what you think, you are not
‘just you.’

You are so much more.”

With 💛 -Liz

"You carry the Earth inside your body. And on the days you do not believe yourself to be sacred, understand: the iron in your blood could have come from the heart of a volcano, and the water that makes you is borrowed from a hurricane.

You may forget, sometimes, how deeply connected you are to the trees outside your home. But there is a chance that an oak tree and you were both made from the bones of the same star.

Some may call that mundane—
but it is the closest thing to magic we will ever get.” — Nikita Gill

This past weekend brought a continuation of hot, humid weather with unpredictable storms and rain showers—conditions that could have easily spoiled the studio’s outdoor plans for yoga. But instead of letting the weather dampen our spirits, the yogis who joined me chose to adapt and appreciate what was, rather than longing for what could have been.

On Saturday, we found shelter under a pavilion, moving through yoga as a sudden rain shower softened the world around us (and even brought some deer out from the deeper parts of the woods). On Sunday, during our outdoor retreat at Pathways Arboretum, the cloud cover and occasional breeze carried with them a sense of ease and relief.

It doesn’t always work this way, but often, the way we look at a situation matters more than the situation itself. When we shift our perspective, even imperfect conditions can become part of a beautiful, memorable experience.

With warmth and care,
Liz 💛

Where Mindfulness Begins

The light and love that is me… recognizes, honors and bows to the light and love that is each of you.

A turn of phrase I’ve ended my classes with for so long, I can’t honestly recall the first time those words came together. But it doesn’t matter. The sentiment that I communicate out to my students comes as a result of a powerful journey that started solely because I wanted to work out without sweating!

For many, yoga can seem like a daunting, cliquish activity of devoutly flexible folks — all bending to complex-sounding poses like Eka Pada Rajakapotasana. But after more than 4,000 hours of teaching the practice, let me say that yoga simply isn’t that.

Yoga is more than exercise, mantras or an excuse to wear comfortable pants. I’ve come to learn it is a set of tools that bring wellness to the body and mind. And over time, my students and I come to understand the transformational power of the practice. It’s how I’ve taken my naturally “Type-A+” personality and have seen it relax it into what I’ve happily dubbed “Just a Regular Type A”. See? Progress.

With the founding of Serendipity Yoga and Wellness I sought to create a safe, welcoming and accepting space for all students. All ages. All shapes and sizes. All backgrounds — be they sedentary or athletic. I teach carefully planned classes that are built specifically around my students; ensuring all poses in a class are delivered clearly and concisely with suggested augmentation to ensure everyone gets the most out of each session they attend.

As an instructor, I specialize in Vinyasa/Flow (a more athletic, breath fused with movement practice), Hatha (a gentler practice centered around slower movement and alignment), and Yoga for Kids (including children with ADHD and those who are on the spectrum). I am Rainbow Kids Yoga certified, a Reiki master and a trainer of yoga teachers. I have also trained in Chair Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Universal Yoga and physical and energetic anatomy.

Outside of the yoga classroom, I am a loving wife, cat-mom, sister and aunt. I’m an outdoorsy-empath with a touch of wanderlust — with guitar on my back and book in hand. I am a certified K-9 Elementary School educator with a Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction and English as a Second Language. All that, and I’ll even admit that I have practiced yoga… and did sweat.

With a warm and open heart, I yearn to create a safe and welcoming space where each person’s yoga experience is allowed to grow and thrive. With that in mind, as I began this, so too will I end:
