Another year is in the books.

2024 has been a year of transformation reconnection for me. I reconnected with my values, tended to my physical health and emotional health, and revived two passions that have been laying dormant in me for quite some time: playing music and creative writing. I always say that music was my first love, writing the second.

At first, I saw this as transformation, but then I realized it was just me. Somehow these important parts of me got buried along the way and I've been getting reacquainted.

Just yesterday I ran into a quote from the magnificent poet, Mary Oliver:

Imagine giving time and power to whatever it is that stirs the energy of your authentic self. 🎉

One of the driving forces behind Soft Smile Yoga is just that – Satya. Satya is one of the “yamas,” or ways of living, reflecting core elements of yogic philosophy. Satya is a Sanskrit word that means "truthfulness" or "essence,” which includes being truthful to the self.

🪭 Whimsical & Wild - NEW CLASS! 💃🏻

My experiences over the past year are what inspired Whimsical & Wild, a new class that taps in your playful, fun, and uninhibited side through somatic movement, music, literature, comedy, imagination, and reflection. The class includes inspiring and thought provoking readings, journaling / sketching, somatic movement, and meditation. Each class has a theme for exploration.

The first theme is Spark of Life. To explore, questions we’ll reflect on include:

• What are the moments in life when you felt a spark for life?
• What does the spark for life feel like in your heart?
• What does it feel like in your body?
• Your brain?
• What gets in the way of feeling that spark, if anything?
• Where do you draw inspiration? What is it about this thing/person that inspires you?

We will not be sharing our experiences with each other in class, however, you are invited to stay for an additional 15 minutes after class if you’d like to engage with other students. Totally optional.

​Join your first class for free. When registering, select “Use Discount Codes & Gift Cards” and enter the code WILD100. (See screenshot below.) Classes start Wednesday, January 15, 7–8 p.m. CT and will be held weekly.
