Signing Off...For a Bit

It's that time of year, and life, again. But this time it's even worse. This era is coming to an end...

Last year around this time I realized I needed to step back from my to-do list and step fully into the transition taking place: Nate was graduating high school. It was a happy-sad time of letting go and launching our oldest bird from the nest. (Remember this one? "Maternity Leave for Graduation")

After he was settled in his new life at school, things settled into a new normal, and my blogging, podcasting, teaching, coaching, and retreats returned full force. This has been an exciting year of yoga and intentional living for us all! 

And here we are again, but now it's Havia's turn to fly, and that's it for this nest. (Our dog Lila just said, "Excuse ME?") And I'm just as emotional, or more, than last year. I'm happy-sad all over the place! 

And when my emotions run high, my creativity runs low. (This is very chakra two, by the way.) 

I will happily continue teaching in Online Yoga Membership, and working one-on-one with Yoga Therapy and Whole Life Alignment. (One of my coaching clients recently graduated, so I have an opening for a new client there if you're interested! Summer is a great time for this program.) I'm just tapped out for blogs and podcasts. Gotta refill the well! 

Plus, I feel more change is coming. Exciting things, I hope! 

I know I'm not the only one out here experiencing life and death simultaneously. As I told this morning's class, that's what we do in yoga. We bring opposites together, like sukha and sthira (effort and ease) and Ha-tha (sun-moon). So happy-sad, joy-grief is right up there. 

Huh. Turns out we're just living out drama/comedy masks, aren't we? That darn Shakespeare knew a thing or two...

Here's where we can do life and practice together for now:

Online Yoga Membership: Try the 10-Day Experience and have yoga-where-you-are for ten days this summer! www.jessgoulding.com/oym 

Chakra Savvy New Moon Intentions: I'll be around for Chakra 6 and 7, June 11 & July 24, online. Plus keep an eye out for my Chakra 5 New Moon plans...It's a little something different. These sessions are getting better every time! Join us this summer on every New Moon. www.jessgoulding.com/chakrasavvy

I might have an upcoming surprise for you in July, so stay tuned on that...

And mark your calendar for Free Day of Yoga! Monday, September 1. I will host a day of online classes and workshops that I know you will love. Plus, that kicks off our annual Back to the Mat! online yoga special. September 2-7.

Finally, don't forget about Chakras in Chacala! This retreat is filling up fast and it's going to be amazing. You have a whole year to get excited and plan for it! 

Thank you so much for reading my emails and doing life with me through the years. Whether you're still regularly on the mat, or your yoga has evolved into something different, I'm so glad to be on this path with you. Let's continue to travel this journey together for the happy times, the sad times, and all the in-between times.

Much love
