I hope your week has been going well.
I cannot believe it is the end of May already!
Wowza!
As June approaches I have been getting a lot of requests for mindful ways to get in shape for summer (here in the states) and for the pool.
This is a delicate subject matter for me because if I make a video called “Bikini Body Yoga” or “Beach Body Yoga” I cannot assure myself that my humor or sincere advocacy for self-love over bikini booty vibes will shine through.
It is important for me to have fun and respond to requests. But I also want to make sure we are clear on the intention and the true root importance of investigating the process of getting back to one’s truest self.
And falling in love with that.
Over and over again.
I think when pool season comes we are programmed to do the opposite.
At least in my culture.
Perhaps we can use our mission of Find What Feels Good and the amazing growth of the YWA community to come up with a way to inspire movement and self love in a way that truly feels supportive of who you are and what your beautiful body looks like.
“If you’ve got it, flaunt it.”
I think that the tools of yoga have the power to do both.
Naturally, the more you practice – the more you fall deeply in love with… your bod, your breath, your moves, your grooves, your curves, your lurves (no clue) and your all around awareness & attitude.
With each practice we have a chance to dig at our true essence and I think true self-acceptance and love is so very vital in that journey feeling good.
So – get that body that makes you feel good by loving your body NOW.
Enjoy the ride and I am going to remind you that I’m right here with you to help you make it fun and feel supported!
This weekend we gear up for a month of EMPOWERMENT and body movin’.
#EMPOWER30
I am doing 30 Days of EMPOWER and I’m inviting you to join!
Empower is my version of Power Yoga and a fun way to kick your booty mindfully and with a sense of self-love and play. It’s hot, it’s fierce and it’s challenging.
But it is also built to inspire joy, mindfulness and cultivate strength and support from within. For me, those are the qualities of yoga that bring you back to your mat each day. For me, EMPOWER is not about getting a bikini body (though we can!) but it is about getting strong, healthy and empowered.
This is a course that inspires lasting results that start from within.
I’ll be sending out a new calendar just for the EMPOWER30 challenge and on June 1 we will be adding downloadable versions of our most popular Vinyasa sequences that you can add into the mix.
Join me!
Get EMPOWER today for only $97.
No coupon needed, but we will be closing the doors again on June 2.
Also, we uploaded a big request this week!
Yoga For When You’re In a Bad Mood!
This is a great practice for when you are feeling like you will never be comfortable diving into the deep end. (NAKED?!)
It is a great practice to let the thinking mind take a break so you can dive right in.
As they say, “You gotta start somewhere.”
Let’s do this,
Adriene
PS – Thank you so much for all of the kind well wishes on my vocal surgery – happening next week actually. I will post a (silent) Vlog (take that Silent Bob!) and send you details on what’s up next week. In the mean time – lets get geared up to rock June’s socks off. Shall we?
