The Alchemist! One of my favorite reads. An alchemist is "a person who transforms or creates something through a seemingly magical process." The last 19 months have required a magical faith in the universe to create something for us!

Grateful for the students who have returned and let me lead them again on the yoga mat. There is a special bond formed as a student and teacher as we allow the magical process of breathing, moving, and letting the universe do its thing!

Even my strongest, healthiest, most successful students took a hit as they took a break from their pre-pandemic life schedule. It is a beautiful experience to witness them each regaining physical strength and renewed hope.

May you get up (or roll out a yoga mat 🧘🏻‍♀️) in whatever way supports your best, healthiest life. 💜w

While Wendy has loved leading classes online...She has missed teaching people LIVE in person! SO...Big Rock Yoga has opened a private studio space for 1-4 persons (that will practice in social distancing pods). If your body, soul, and mind are in the need of some TLC, Wendy is ready to deliver it!!

The private studio is located near W. Markham and Shackleford Rd in WLR. Easy access from the west, Heights and Hillcrest, and even those of you driving into LR from other cities!

I am excited to share my 54th birthday with YOU! It’s my favorite part of the summer every year.

Born in St. Vincent hospital in 1967! That is an invoice for $263.85. It shows no insurance and a deposit for $150. My dad was discharged from the army 2 months before I was born. They were not new to Arkansas, but new to Little Rock! We lived in apartments behind University Mall…that have since been torn down.

In honor of my Bday I am offering one online 200 Hour for $263.85!!!

PROMO: 1967Bday

I am bending over backwards for YOU! I am so excited to announce that I am offering IN-PERSON 200 Hour Big Rock Yoga Teacher Trainings beginning this September.

And...it gets even better!

As I move forward I am taking the best of 2020 with me into the trainings. You have an option to enroll for in-person or virtual.

I cannot wait to hug, touch, and assist you, if you are fully vaccinated! The past 15 months have been somewhat surreal. I've waited out for what I believe to be a safe and healthy environment to begin trainings back in person. If you are not vaccinated, virtual is still an option through 2022.

BE an educated, inspiring, and empowering yoga teacher through a method that has been proven to work. I have trained over 200 yoga teachers in the state of Arkansas and am ready to keep spreading the love and practice!

Click below if you want to be certified to teach in a studio, gym, school, behavioral health environment, or where ever you dream of teaching.

Meet Joe! Joe is a school teacher in North West Arkansas. He participated in the Big Rock Yoga Teacher Training to bring yoga to the kids he teaches and coaches in track. Joe's students are blessed! His transformation through the practice was powerful!!

"Practicing (yoga) has equipped me with language for guiding others to accepting their reality. The unattached person is free to discover the moment. (The practice) reminds and prompts
me to learn what the moment is teaching me. I use to think of karma as something coming back at me like a boomerang, but now I understand it as my proper teacher bringing back lessons
that I must master. Starting where you are has prepared me for the moment in which I am in." ~Joe, 200 Hour Certified Big Rock Yoga Teacher

Want to be educated in the practice and learn a methodology to teach those in your community?

The next trainings begin July 13 and August 17. This training is 4 LIVE virtual modules and 2 self paced to receive a 200 Hour Certification that is recognized globally.

Wendy's newest blog just published!

Why are so many people drawn to the practice of yoga? This question is the inspiration of my upcoming blog series. Personally, I was drawn to yoga to heal chronic back pain and reclaim some peace in my life. The initial reason I started…
