A beautiful, kind, amazing soul left us way too early in this journey we call life.

I met Daina very early on in my quest to become a certified yoga instructor, as she hired me for my first paying teaching experience at her yoga studio, Shine.

She was patient, understanding and encouraged me to lean into the hard times and enjoy the good times when learning my craft and leading others to do the same.

In the Quad City Area (Iowa/Illinois), the yoga is community is a tight-knit and supportive collective that is feeling the ripple of loss on a high level. Daina touched so many, many people in this space that her legacy will be a blessing for a lifetime.

I have not spoken to Daina in many years; however, I loved and respected her just the same as the first day I met her. Her impression has stayed with me to this day and will hold a special place in my heart for a lifetime.

Many blessings to Daina's husband & children, her family and the yoga community as you find your way to deal with this loss - may her memory be a blessing.

🙏💜🧘💜🧘‍♂️💜🙏

SimplyYoga is on sabbatical for the month of March.

Take care of yourself - emotionally, physically and spiritually.

Allow yourself to be the light that shines during this unsettled time and don't let any one dim your brightness.

Know that you are seen, respected and accepted for who you are.

With love and light,
Michele

Quick survey: how would you local parents feel about some Saturday afternoon, circusy offerings for your kids at the Rumpus Room? Anything in particular, such as aerial (trapeze and silks), theater games, juggling? Or more a mix of everything? And for what age groups?
