Happy Wrestlemania Weekend, Fam!

Last night was proof we have the most fun, ever. Ever. I’m so obsessed with our crew’s commitment.

We talked about how we’re wearing more costumes in our lives since Weird Flex came to be. We played our favorite entrance songs, and practiced our entrances if we wanted to (and maybe some Mankind tumbles). We floated our legs up the ropes while we rested. Believe it or not, this was still all much gentler than it sounds.

We incorporated solo suplexes, solo “back breakers”, chokehold arm stretches, closing our eyes so “you can’t see me”, “safe” chair pose (abs and core hits, no head shots 🤣), even honoring The Undertaker in a power sit-up after happy nap time.

Can’t wait to incorporate the ring again for future classes, honestly.

Rope-supported downward facing dog was a game changer.

All around fun and badassery.

Thank you to Rachel, Sarah and Candice for the awesome photo and video memories from class. Definitely one I want to remember forever.

Up next is a really cool opportunity to unwind with Dr. Jess, as she shows us fun ways to incorporate CBD into a restorative, super relaxing practice on Monday. Still have space left!

The following weekend, we have cat yoga on Friday, and yoga at the salt cave (practice in the Oasis Salt Cave’s outdoor zen garden, followed by a visit to the cave right after).

Spots still left for cat yoga (which may be our last one for a while), and ONLY ONE SPOT LEFT for salt cave yoga. No pressure!

Be on the lookout for May and June’s classes going live this coming week! Hope to see y’all soon!

April 14th marked THREE WHOLE YEARS since the very first Weird Flex class. We celebrated over the weekend with some time together, a playlist of some of the songs from our classes, and some yoga-ing.

It’s always amazing to reflect back on what all we’ve done.

This past year alone, we’ve gone on so many field trips, played with animals, created art and crafty and woo woo things, learned about tarot and chakras, screamed and stargazed, and got to know our Vagus Nerve.

We visited cemeteries, our friends in Pittsburgh, went to the planetarium, the salt cave, learned about acupuncture and cupping and so much more.

But at the end of the day, I think what I’m most in love with are the comments I hear from our students saying things like “I finally realized that if I move my foot just a little bit, or adjust my body in “this way”, I feel an entire shift in my body.”

Or “This time last year, I couldn’t even do a plank and now I can move into one confidently”…and things like, “I saw your class photos, and they looked like my people”

I’ve loved helping people troubleshoot ways to empower the poses. I’ve loved coming up with games and themes, and playful little twists on traditional yoga poses and techniques to help people really make their practice their own, to make it more personalized.

It means so much to me to see our family of weirdos continue to grow, continue to find new ways to take care of ourselves and to realize that there are so many ways to move and to stretch.

It’s all about being exactly who and where you are, right now.

Someone very dear to me also said we’ve made a great, safe place for us to practice and belong. This means everything to me.

We work hard to make a space where…sometimes folks don’t really feel like they have a place in the fitness world or in the self-care world, and I’m here to tell you, you have that place with us.

At your own pace with your own shape, in your own time.

Here’s to another hundred years of figuring this Weird Flex thing out with each other, figuring out as we go along how we can continue to be stronger, and to be more gracious with ourselves.

Learning about the symbolism of gravestone artwork,
talking about epitaphs,
walking and stretching in the cool breeze,
watching animals casually explore all around us,
and
incorporating what we saw into a yoga flow as the sun set over the hill,

contrasted by a bright,
warm sunshine class
with a plant swap and great conversation just two days before.

It’s amazing the weather was just two days apart for these outdoor classes. And it’s amazing how moving our bodies in the different temperatures (especially with our Weird Flex Family) can help make it easier to process.

Both classes were so much fun, and very different, but also connected.

The next time I say, it’s too warm, or too cold outside, remind me I probably just need to Yoga it out. I felt like a completely different person after letting my body move and breathe with our family.

Speaking of family, if you’ve ever been to a Weird Flex class, PLEASE join us for a FREE class on Saturday, as we celebrate our 3rd year of Weird Flex Yoga! Pink church at 2pm (the location of our very first class-info in link, below) Yoga and potluck, and good company with the absolute best folks around. Hope to see you there!

The Vagus Nerve got its very own yoga class this week, “Vegas-Style”!

We played our Vagus cards and tried a bunch of Vagal toning exercises (like gargling, breathing techniques, stretching, shaking, and SO much more), and rolled the yoga dice to break us out of routine and plans.

It was awesome!

We also had a yo-goth class (one of my favorite classes), and gothed our baby bat selves out. Always the best time with our Family!

Thank you so much Miranda, Rachel, Candice and Cheryl for the awesome photos, and to Sarah for recording my hand and wrist support demo video. It feels so amazing to know we’re all part of a family that’s pretty much the coolest gang in the world.

Up next is yoga at the park for National Play Outside Day on Saturday! Join us for yoga in the grass, and take home a lil house plant if you like.

If you have any baby house plants or rooted clippings you’d like to share, please bring some! Plant swap is totally optional, though.

Speaking of optional, the following Monday is Cemetery Yoga with an OPTIONAL pre-class (gentle, slow) hike. We’re just gonna stroll around the cemetery for a bit before class begins, to admire the scenery, then start class at 6:30. If you just wanna stretch with us, feel free to show up at 6:30.

And the following weekend, please join us for a free yoga class for our 3 year anniversary! Anyone in our Weird Flex Family is welcome to join us! Hope to see ya soon!

SUPPORT YOUR HANDS AND WRISTS 🙌🖤

Did you know there’s soo many ways you can support your hands and wrists in your yoga or movement practice?

Blocks, blankets, cushions, forearms, fists are all great ways to personalize your movement to make it work best for you!

Hey hey to all the new folks, and hugs and high fives to our Weird Flex Family!

I realized it’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself, and explained what Weird Flex is all about. So I made a thing.

Our Weird l’il Family took a field trip to Westmeister Farm yesterday, and did yoga with otters, thanks to the creativity and mad yoga skills of Meta Soul Yoga , and the openheartedness of Westmeister Farm (the only place maybe in the whole world where otter yoga exists!)!

I can’t fully put into words the happiness this brought our crew. In the best way, I don’t think we’ll ever recover from the little squeaks the otters made, from their playfulness, from the otter toe beans, the snuggles, and the laughter and smiles among our family. Truly such a wonderful experience! Serotonin for life! 🖤🦦🦦🖤

Thank you so much to Westmeister Farm, Meta Soul Yoga, Lindsay, Moriah, Miranda, MiKayla, Rachel, Benee, and EVERYONE for the AWESOME photos and memories from a class we’ll never forget!

These badasses stuck it out through three months of lessons on Tarot through yoga!

What started with the Fool’s Journey of the Major Arcana, internalized through breath, movement and awareness, then progressed through to the smaller arcs of the Minor Arcana, which had a “flow by numbers” theme.

We kept the same “numbers theme” for each tarot suit (each number had its own pose), applied the elements and vibes of each different suit (pentacles, cups, wands and swords), balanced between movement and rest, and really embodied the entire set of all 78 cards! Biggest of yays!

Then we treated ourselves to mini readings at the end of it all. Everyone did SUCH a great job!

No lies, I think we all have a greater understanding of the entire deck because we got to physically move through the stories, themes and flows. This was one of my favorite sets of classes, maybe ever.

So glad for our Weird Family, and the stuff we get into.

And so glad for Moriah and Rachel, who helped capture the class memories in photos!

We still have some great yoga adventures this month: Saturday’s sold out Otter Yoga class, next week’s Yo-Goth, and the following week’s class on the Vagus Nerve. (Sign up through the event pages, or through app.ubindi.com/Michelle.Waters ).

Hope to see ya again, soon!
