I hope you are well and I spent time last week on spring break which was quite nice. I went out to visit my sister and her family. We went on a walk for 1.5 hours and it was an amazing sunny day. The week was filled with time to rest and also get things done in my personal life. I finished my last school assignments for the trimester and have off till May which is also the final trimester of my masters program! I'm so excited.

When I started on the journey for my masters in yoga therapy I had no idea of what laid ahead but the pandemic came in and changed everyones life. I am grateful I was able to continue with my studies and also help so many with a different approach to yoga and its healing and therapeutic properties. Little did I know just how many people would need help dealing with chronic anxiety, stress and depression.

Needless to say I didn't get everything done on my to do list. I still have to finish my tax return. Ugh! Even though 1099's were supposed to be sent to contractors by the end of January, every year I'm still waiting for a few even into April. So it is mostly complete but still have a couple of 1099's to input for my business income. The calculation of revenue income for donations and services made directly on my webpage was so easy though and I got my 1099 back in January.

I am back now and feeling rested and ready to return to work. Group classes are back and my availability for private and corporate sessions are up to date on my appointment page on the webpage. Many have decided to go with more private and feel more comfortable with this option lately; I totally understand.

These days many are getting the vaccine and others waiting to be approved. Be patient and the better off you are physically before you receive the vaccine the less side effects there will be. The vaccine will go to work on areas your body needs to strengthen but again if you start now on having a healthy body the better. Many have effects of fatigue and others have inflammation and gut issues. All things that can be examined and if you need reach out to me we could do a short yoga therapy intake session for 45 minutes and review ways you could make changes to help your wellbeing.

Maybe you are adjusting to returning to work or experiencing seasonal changes but take time to eat healthy, rest and get to sleep earlier. Be patient and find time for yourself. I hope to see you for online private or group classes soon.

Have a good day for no reason!
