I've joked that my dream job is having 3 part time jobs. However, more realistically it would be working for myself and not being pigeon-holed into one thing.

I've worked in micro and macro settings and it seems like such a disservice to have one without the other. Policy change takes time, but we are alive now...

We need to be able to have the best quality of life we can while *gestures broadly* the horrors persist.
While also working towards broader change for future generations.

Shameless plug (maybe feeling a little shame or embarrassment 🫣)...
I'm building something (?) slowly, but if you think we could work together, I'd love to chat.

Trying to be a morning person teaching at 6 am. But Kayla, if you're not a morning person are you a night owl? Also no. I'm a sleepy girl.

Magic fix to almost anything. Clean it.
Cleaning your environment and your body is self care. Maybe you do it on your own and that gives you satisfaction. Perhaps you elicit the help of friends or family. Maybe you have the ability to hire help.
These are all ways to care for yourself and show yourself love and respect.
This is true self care, not self care packaged in consumerism.

My YMCA classes have been very small, and tonight I had one person. She has shown up for every Monday night class I've taught. Typically I teach a slow flow type of class. Definitely modeled after vinyasa flow style with several sun salutations, but like ✨slow mindful vibes✨.

However, during our warm up she mentioned how much she was liking the warm up and that she kind of just likes her whole yoga class to be that vibe.

"I don't really like all that downward dog stuff."

I knew I had to pivot. I needed to serve the student in front of me and what she needed. I went off script. I still incorporated some of the postures I had planned, but modified how we got there, and shifted into a little more Yin/Hatha vibe.

It was fun, we laughed about how we had to move our bellies out of the way to fully twist into a revolved pyramid (Parivrtta Trikonasana) and how I still can't tell my right and left. I'm full of gratitude for every opportunity I get to teach and learn. 🫶

It's cold and snowy outside and no one showed up to my yoga class . To be honest, I wanted to stay home too.
If you would have come this was part of my warm up (5x speed).
The theme tonight was turning inward, noticing internal sensations. Don't worry, I'll save it for another time 🫶.
