Yoga with Elle News 8/3/2020

Word Yoga created from colorful and patterns

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick note to let you know what this week has in store for us yoga-wise and to let you know, as of right now, there’s still room for one more in Monday’s (tomorrow) 8:15am Infinity class. Contact me if you’d like to register.

I’ve been thinking a lot about yoga and its relationship to creativity. One of the aspects I’m playing with is that even within a led practice we have a lot of choice about how we show up and what we emphasize in poses within ourselves. It reminds me of learning to play piano from sheet music. I remember once I knew a piece well, that feeling of sitting down to play and something within me pouring out through the notes, even though it wasn’t something I had personally written. I encounter a similar feeling as I teach and as I practice. I’m curious if you do too. If you have any thoughts on this please take a moment to share them.

Love You,

Elle

Things to know about Yoga with Elle Outside:

  • If you have trouble hearing please set up close (but still 6 ft away) to me.
  • Please be respectful and stay 6′ away from each other to ensure everyone who comes is safe and feels comfortable.
  • I’ll wear a mask as we’re setting up so if you want to come ask questions, tell me things, etc., you’ll be safe.
  • I’m going to take my mask off to teach so you can hear me and we can record sound, but I will stay on my mat and not walk around making adjustments.
  • If you are nervous to be around folks but really want to come, please come, wear a mask and set up away from folks. We will lovingly stay away and give you space.
  • Regular outdoor considerations to think of: You may want sun screen, bug spray, sun glasses, and a towel if it’s dewy.
  • Bring your mat and a block or a blanket if you have them.

Tips for Practicing At Home

Clovis never could resist an outstretched hand. R.I.P.
  • Create a space for yourself, but don’t get bogged down in creating a perfect space for yourself.
  • Put your class on the calendar. Make space in your day.
  • Make it special for yourself. Maybe this means putting on your favorite fancy yoga pants, maybe this means you finally get to practice in your pjs.
  • Reach out to me if you get stuck.
