Tl;dr: I’m starting a subscription service with a library of recorded classes and monthly live virtual gatherings.
My friends! 😍 Many of you know that I started offering movement classes on Zoom during the early months of the pandemic. Some of you know that I never stopped, and still do three classes a week (two pilates mat, one yoga). A few of you know that from time to time, I go on a streak of recording them, with the intention of starting a subscription library.
I am excited to announce that only a few years after everyone got sick to death of practicing on screens, I’m finally starting a Patreon. 😝
Obviously, I’m hoping to supplement my income with this— it’s gonna be a lot of work— but the main driver that has led me to finally get moving on it is the feeling that I need to do something to bring people together and lift people up, and this is the area where I have the expertise to lead and empower others. I hope you’ll join me, and help to remind each other that JOY IS RESISTANCE.
I’m currently editing videos (only to trim the community chats at the beginning and end— otherwise all my human blunders, forgotten words, and bad jokes will remain intact) and am hoping to launch April 1.
You may know that both Pilates and yoga focus heavily on body-mind-spirit connection. It feels to me that in this surreal moment in our country, we need to strengthen all that, and lean into community connection, too. If you know me, you know that I do not and will not (and possibly could not 😝) separate my political opinions from my business, and you will see that reflected in this service. Here are some things I’ll be offering.
💪🏻💪🏽💪🏿For the body, I’ll be:
-consistently recording and uploading new Zoom classes, up to 12/month
-recording some “detours” (short, micro-workshops on particular skills to enhance your movement practice)
-sharing nourishing recipes, like my semi-famous chicken bone broth, my favorite high-protein breakfast/energy bars, and many other favorites
🧠🤓👩🏻🔬For the mind, I’ll enjoy:
-providing book recommendations/discussions (including fun fiction!)
-suggesting action steps
-sharing relevant gift articles from reliable news sources that I support with subscription
📿🙏🔮For the spirit, I’ll be honored to:
-create guided meditations
-shine a spotlight on good news of the moment
👋🤝🤛For community:
-I’ll host a monthly live virtual gathering, which will vary in theme. It might be a Pilates or yoga or stretch or foam roller class; some months it might be a meditation. You might see a book club pop up once in a while. Some months we might gather and all write postcards together, or plan a discussion group around a particular topic.
-I’m offering sliding scale pricing
I hope you’ll join me for this experiment— please let me know which of these things excite you, and if there’s anything else you’d like to see on offer! Details on pricing and how to sign up will come as we get closer. 🥳
