Life juice and other reminders
Dear One,
Reminder: self care is nervous system care.
Too often, I see yoga therapy clients and yoga students with that shamed, deflated look that accompanies the confession that they haven't been getting on their mat.
It's relatable content, truly.
But we're not simply failing to practice yoga. We're probably just generally failing at nourishment, replenishment, inspiration, and the many things that provide nervous system refueling and resetting.
Oops. I swear I intend to be inspirational with these newsletters.
But sometimes we just need a reminder of what's missing. Which parts of you are completely, utterly dehydrated? What gives you life juice? What are you forgetting to remember about your self care needs and practices?
If yoga is truly nourishment for you, and not just something added to your draining to-do list, here's what I got:
Ways to practice together in the next few weeks at JP Centre Yoga or online:
Saturday 7/23 Restorative Workshop at 6pm with optional bodywork
Flow & Restore weekly class on Mondays at 6pm (I'm away 8/1 and 8/22)
Saturday 8/6 Restorative Workshop at 6pm with optional bodywork
Save the date for Yoga Therapy Training:
I'm finalizing details for a 35-hr Trauma-Informed Yoga Therapy Training at JP Centre Yoga this fall! Check out the draft schedule and description here. This is for yoga teachers, aspiring or current yoga therapists, and therapists who want to bring embodied practices into client sessions.

I am building a yoga therapy waitlist and doing Zoom intakes for new weekly/bi-weekly client slots opening up this September on Thursdays.
Fill out the online inquiry form, or schedule a Zoom intake/discovery session for July/August!
Practicing right alongside you ... or sweetly failing alongside you. :)
