Dear <<First Name>>,

We are often so wrapped up in one way of thinking that we don’t have the freedom to see ourselves any other way. Developing the ability to use our own insight to step outside of our journey is a gift! In the last year I’ve had the honor of studying under Judy Weaver and James Kigar, along with nine inspiring yoga teachers in our community, I’m still processing so much! The intention of the training was to awaken and elevate you as a student and a teacher, and it has rocked me. At times I felt like I was back in my 12 Step Program working through ingrained patterns of behavior; in yoga, it's called samskaras, the ability to step outside yourself and identify everyday distractions that pulls us out from ourselves. There’s a shift that begins to happen, and I've always believed that we are always being guided, and we are always receiving spiritual messages, but life distractions can perpetuate the noise and old patterns, and block us from hearing and seeing what we need to know! The shift you are feeling this year is so real. Honor, trust, and BE MORE REAL in your everyday life!!!

Wishing you a beautiful Holiday weekend!

With much love and gratitude,
Mary Ann
