10 years of Embody Yoga…

The post below, announcing the start of EY, got zero likes. But 14 people showed up to that first free class And I decided to keep showing up as long as they did.

Eventually, attendance slowed. Sometimes 1 person would come. Sometimes nobody would come. But by then I was committed to the idea. If no one showed up for class, I made myself do 1 thing to get the word out about EY-even if that was just dropping off flyers somewhere.

Two years of just….working.

Then 2017 rolled around and there was a shift. A random conversation led to me landing the cover of a local magazine which resulted in press. We started doing trap yoga. We started offering events in the community (shout out to Mr. J’s and Jessica Key 😇for letting me host my yoga day parties there). I was offered a yoga studio space in 2 different developments.

2018 was a pivotal year. I quit my full time job, we opened our 1st studio space and I hired the first EY teachers after rocking solo for 3 years.

2021 was a pivotal year. We moved to a new space. Received a grant (thank you Jrue & Lauren). Crowdfunded. Raised about $79K in 30 days. Built our new studios, including a hot yoga studio.

Saw a huge increases in sales/revenue after the new studios opened. Re-invested it in the biz by opening a classical Pilates studio in 2023. And earlier this year we added a second contemporary Pilates studio.

Every year isn’t a big year. In fact, most weren’t. No matter what, I kept my head down and WORKED.

10 years has gone by FAST.

And I have another 10 in me, if God says so.

It will be spent refining my teaching and, finally, training new teachers. I got 11 years in the teaching game. I am an expert. It’s more than time.

Thank you for every like, share, referral, sale, word of encouragement, word of constructive criticism and any and every positive thought towards me and Embody Yoga over the past 10 years.

I remain grateful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Happy anniversary, Embody Yoga!

This past Saturday, we had our first Pilates Princess class (a free Pilates class for teen girls ages 12-17).

One girl came in with 2 women. Once I greeted them and got her signed in and settled, one of the women pulled me aside and told me that the young lady was so happy and relieved to see that class was being led by a Black woman.

THAT right there is why we do what we do ❤️❤️❤️

P.S. The girls did so good on the Reformers!

P.P.S. Our next Pilates Princess class will be held next Saturday at 11:30am. It will be a Pilates mat class. To register your teen, please email info@embodyyogamke.com.

P.P.S. We rarely take and post pictures of children. So the photo below is from a corporate Reformer Pilates class from a couple of weeks ago. Shout out to WellPoint!

A SPECIAL Yoga In The Park Class…

By now, you know that in the summer we offer a FREE yoga class EVERY Sunday at 10am at Johnsons Park. This coming Sunday, in particular, class will be led by the founder of He Do Yoga (HDY) . HDY is an organization that offers a weekly free yoga class for Black men. The entire experience is led by a Black, male yoga teacher.

This Sunday, as with any other Sunday, we invite any and everyone to participate in class. However, we are also making a special appeal to Black men to show up and participate on this day as well. If you are a Black man-we hope to see your face. If you know a Black men, we kindly ask that you share this information with them.

And, as always, yes-bring the kids. Please leave pets at home. No registration is required. Bring a mat.

We hope to see you there!

Program notes: ALL Yoga in the Park classes are FREE. In the case of rain or other bad weather, class will be canceled. Johnsons Park is located at 20th and Fond Du Lac in Milwaukee.

Tomorrow…

Urban Line Dancing with Butterfly!

I first met Butterfly about 9 years ago when she brought a group of ladies to try my yoga classes at Walnut Way.

Back then she was thoughtful, kind and supportive and I can tell you that, over the years, she has not changed in that regard.

In her Urban Line Dance class she’ll give you a little more than you bargained for. During the warm up you may even ask yourself, “Is this a dance class”?!

But she leads you to believe that you are capable. She is supportive and encouraging. She’ll hold you accountable.

Now for the dance portion of class, she is an amazing teacher. She will guide you, breaking down the movements and then slowly putting it all together. And the entire time you will be having FUN!

The best part? You’ll be getting your cardio in too (because a strong, healthy heart is a requirement, ok?!).

Join us tomorrow (Friday) at Embody Yoga at 6pm. Class is an hour long. No, you don’t have to know how to dance. Butterfly will take care of you.

Cost: $20
Pre-registration required.
