Gentle Stretch, Breathwork and Meditaiton class at Bee True You Wellness & Creative Studio on Monday mornings has always been all levels.

AND IT IS NOW OFFERED AS A DONATION BASED, COMMUNITY CLASS.

We don’t want being short on funds to prevent you from the possibilities of the healing from these ancient practices.

Gatekeeping . . . in yoga and meditation. How much of it is coming from a studio or teachers versus our individual preconceived ideas of limiting one self due to being too old, too injured, too fat, too stiff? Or preventing ourselves from trying it based on thoughts that it’s new age? Or the attitude that it’s a practice only for skinny, flexible, white women. Far from it. Yoga and meditation is for everyone— if you are open.

Here we teach in a mystical way, honoring whatever belief system you have and whatever level you are in your journey. And we teach via a trauma informed approach (trained from two organizations) and based on lived experience of healing from trauma with these practices.

You don’t have to register ahead of time, but it would be appreciated: https://www.beetrueyou.com/

If you don’t have a yoga mat or cushion, we got you covered with no fee. But if you have your own mat- please bring it.

Messages through music . . . Just when you truly need that message.
We all have had these moments.
It happens so much for me, that I have decided to share some of these uplifting moments, in hopes of uplifting YOU.
I was immensely frustrated last week.
I meditated, listened to a spiritual talk, and then this somg came on as I headed up in the mountains to cycle into wilderness with heavy legs and thoughts that needed to shift.
“When your mind feels like a burden . . . when you are acting out of fear . . . There is hope. Laugh a little more.”
Titlle of this song is “Just a litte more.“ I kept hearing “trust a little more. “

I was able to squeeze in that bike ride before It rained the rest of the day.
I was blessed to go to soak in hot springs in the rain after and met a young man — with a spiritual tatto with two ravens 🐦‍⬛ that represent thoughts and memory.
I will pause there, but you might get how this all tied together.
Being a yogi or Yogini, you have practices that help shift the mind to put everything into perspective that is uplifting.

Trust a lot more . . . 🪷 🙏🏼

Bee 🐝 your authentic self! This is what I love supporting my clients to do. Remembering and honoring the gifts inside of them . . . to be in alignment with their purpose and values. Some clients have to have the rug pulled out from under them. Why wait until that happens? If you are curious about what living in alignment with your values feels like or want to overcome fear or self limiting beliefs, I am here for you.

Every day, I have heart explosions in the sessions with my clients as I am so lucky to attract in clients who are open hearted, vulnerable, brave, funny and willing to do the work to remember their wisdom and take action.
As a holistic coach, I am blessed to support clients all over the United States . . . as coaches can legally work across state lines (while therapists are not supposed to unless they have a license in the state in which YOU live). While I'm not a therapist, my work is very therapeutic!
Coaching is for you if:
• You want to live a more satisfying and inspired life in alignment with your values.
• You have a specific area of life which you would like support in shifting, such as — improving self-care, shifting a career, fostering creativity or a personal project in your life, making more friends, or going deeper into spirituality.
• You wish to create a life structure that will best support you in living your best.

If you want to hop onto a free 20 minute live webinar session with me to figure out together if coaching is for you at this time, please direct message me here or text me at 805-669-6128.

The image below is the theme for my studio . . . to help you remember to "bee" authentically you. My spiritual practices of meditation help me to remember the light within me and my clients on a deeper level than I ever imagined possible. I teach meditation and provide in person coaching sessions in my lovely little studio in Ridgway, Colorado. We also host amazing workshops with guest teachers in this space: https://www.beetrueyou.com/
I am a member of the International Coaching Federation and ICF Colorado. I am credentialed PCC through ICF, and the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching, as well as a Spiritual Emergence Coach through Integrative Mental Health University, founded by Emma Bragdon, PhD, transpersonal psychologist.
