Ok, let's get real here. I'm all about community. I'm all about heart. I'm all about being honest and real and showing up all gritty and dirty and being ok with that - because we're HUMANS dammit, and we're gritty and dirty and we have moments where we absolutely, 100% do NOT have our shit together.
Why then, have I spent the last 2+ years with a very clear vision of putting some online classes up - and only just done one course?
I'll tell you why: because I'm human, and the internet is amazing but it also sucks, because it's a great tool of comparison. Before going back to uni, my career of a couple decades was in PR - a world where teams come together to create a product, test it, trial it, fancy it up, and make it all pretty and 'perfect'. And it's an industry I loved, but it's left me a little frozen when it comes to creating my own stuff... just me, and a laptop.
Furthermore, I look at everyone out there on social media today with 'hashtag yoga' and it's all polished gymnastics. Ok ok.. I know it's not ALL like that, but to someone who's never felt quiet good enough, my lens is turned towards that and ... frankly, I'm so bored of it.
I am super selective about who and what I follow on social media now (there's a self-care tip for you, you DO NOT have to follow everyone you think you need to!), and I don't generally follow those yoga-celebs with tens (or hundreds!) of thousands of followers.
They're not my peeps. And maybe, just maybe, they're not your peeps either.
So if you're looking for your gang, keep reading.
Here we go, folks, here's the Shiny-version of online yoga. It's real. It's gritty. It's YOGA. Nothing more, nothing less. It's honesty, it's thought-provoking, it's movement, it's connection. It's yoga for REAL, NORMAL people. Just like you.
And here it is! Classes, online stuff, inspiration. Practice slow yoga with me, here in the inner west, Newtown Sydney or online. It's yoga for real people.
Love to you all, sweet ones. I hope you enjoy xo
