My word for 2021 is WORTHY.
Happy new year + new month my beautiful lights!
Take a moment to squeeze in self-care right here. Tune in to your body sending appreciation, love and breath to your entire being. Every inhale you take, every exhale you release is a sign of your aliveness. It's a celebration that YOU exist.
As you enter a new year, I offer you a new perspective. I invite you to think of these next 12 months as a container, your container. A space in which you can expand however you desire. You, your mind and your energy being the creator.
As I say thank you and clear what is behind, I carry some new lessons with me…
Self-care is essential
When I slow down, I attract more
Asking for help is self-trust
Say YES
Stay curious
Question fear
Appreciate everything
Receive the compliment
Listen to understand
Read books
Invest in self-help
Routine can look different
When I feel stress, I comeback to love
My breath is sacred
May you enter this year feeling fully and deeply worthy of creating + receiving your zest life.
//mantra of the month//
good things are coming.
Big, juicy, good things are coming to this community. I am so excited to share my new year updates with YOU!
Slowing Down // The AMyoga Method
At the heart of my intention teaching yoga is my commitment to guiding you to healing your nervous system and feeling love for yourself. You know by now stress takes a toll on your health physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Practicing yoga has taught me many things. First and foremost, it's that movement is a damn gift. But leading vinyasa, is not my gift. After much resistance, I learned last year guiding flow-based classes did not light me up as much as a zen, still restorative pillow practice. Following my intuition, I am shifting The AMyoga Method to a stillness practice. I am so excited for this new journey and to share this healing practice with you. I will be continuing my education at Trilogy Yoga Sanctuary at the end of this month for an immersive restorative teacher training.
Expanding Offering // AMhealth Coaching Programs
I cannot believe The 6 Month Squeeze begins in 5 days. I am so lit up to bring my newest group program to life. As you've seen, AMhealth started out with two core group programs: The Self-Care Squeeze and Squeeze Stress Away. These programs will continue on in the new year but take on a brand new digital form. Stay tuned! If you are interested in joining the next LIVE program*, you'll want to keep an eye on the calendar because I will only be offering The 6 Month Squeeze two times a year. The waitlist is below to join the next one!
*1:1 coaching will be offered exclusively to group members only.
One Big Give // Make Lemonaid with AM
My impact initiative will continue to be grounded in love and service. My whole freaking heart thanks each and every one of you who participated in 2020. Together, we raised just about $6,000 to send across 10 different charity organizations. This year, you will be able to take part in a new special tradition. For my birthday (planning way ahead here to June) I will be celebrating with Make Lemonaid with AM's first annual flow + fundraise event. It is with so much light and love in my heart that all donations will go to The Loveland Foundation, a non-profit organization who gives healing and therapy services to Black women and girls.
NEW Place to Practice // Guided by AM
You are the first to hear that I am launching a membership site! Coming very, very soon zesties will have a home to practice, learn and grow. This will become your sacred space to squeeze in self-care and squeeze stress away anytime, anywhere. All my guidance, all in one place!
This is just the beginning zesties, I have saved some very special surprises for you in the months yet to come. And of course, leaving room for universal spontaneity!
What’s coming is better than what is gone.
Breathe + believe the best has yet to come for YOU. Feeling optimism comes easy to me, and I am aware this is not the case for everyone. Claiming it my superpower, I am here to teach you how to practice the power of positivity.
These are my tips for YOU this month to squeeze in your year intention...
I. Post-it Positive Affirmations
Stick it on your wall to stick it in your mind. Imagine what will happen when you read ‘good things are coming’ every morning + night while brushing your teeth. Try it!
II. Attitude of Gratitude
Prescribing gratitude on repeat because gratitude heals, gratitude shifts, and gratitude is free! The vibration of appreciation is your comeback to self-love tool. Focus on what's thriving and see what continues to come your way. The side effects are awesome.
III. More Meditation Moments
Walking, cooking, sunbathing, showering, cleaning the dishes, writing, coloring…whatever you practice on repeat, make it mindful and make it a meditation. All you need to do is connect to your breath and observe your inner + outer world the present moment. Make meditation a practice that is unique-to-YOU. It can look like whatever you want! Just show up with intention.
