Yay! Here comes May! ☀️
/
Hello! Happy almost May!! It is so nice to have spring here now. I hope you are enjoying!
I wanted to share that my 50th birthday is on Monday (how did that happen?!) and it is a time of deep gratitude as I reflect on all of the beautiful connections I have made with so many of you. Thank you so much for your energy and for being here!
One thing I have learned is that age is just a number. Chronological age and biological age are two very different things. A person can be 60 chronologically but 30 biologically because of how they are taking care of themselves! A healthy lifestyle and mindset are powerful and a huge part in keeping our bodies healthy, vibrant and mobile!
With this truly miraculous life and body we have been given, it is so important to balance movement with rest, find joy and gratitude every day, minimize stress, surround yourself with love and live with an open heart. This can be hard, especially in a world that can feel heavy sometimes...but we can light it up with what we do each day. And we never know what that light, love and kindness will do for someone else.
I love the quote by Ram Dass:
"we are all just walking each other home."
I hope to see you on the mat soon!
Sending lots of love! Janelle
Coming soon in June...

Rest, Restore & Replenish: An Evening Challenge for Stress Relief
Start date: Monday April 29 or choose your own start date!
Sleep is where we repair, recover & heal.
For 14 evenings in a row, choose one of the sessions before bed. I have indicated one for each day but you can always choose a different one if that is better for you in the moment.
These sessions & classes can help you unwind from your day, regulate your nervous system and decrease stress on your body and mind. They can also help support you with deeper healing and a good nights rest. You can also use some of the shorter sessions throughout the day or before a nap if you need to reset your energy. You can choose from relaxing yin or restorative classes, soundbaths, soundscapes, meditation and yoga nidras from myself along with guest instructors.
