THANK YOU
FOR SHOWING up.
For yourself.
For each other.
For all that you bring
to this community.
Looking back on October, I feel grateful for every moment shared at ARYA, on & off the mat.
The laughter after a wobble. The encouragement from the mat beside you. The awareness your practice brought you. The expressions on your faces when something clicked. Those “aha” moments, and there were quite a few. I had a few of my own, too. You teach me more than you know.
The playfulness. The curiosity. The openness to try something unfamiliar or give yourself permission to slow down. The trust you’re building in yourself, and the trust you place in us to guide, support, and encourage you along the way.
The conversations before and after class. The stories, smiles, and connections that reach beyond the practice.
Thank you for embracing Find Your Balance in your practice and beyond the mat. And for adding your circles to the board.
Following the directions turned out to be a challenge of its own.
No one is disqualified this month, lol!
We are figuring it out together!!!
CARRYING
THE PRACTICE FORWARD
STRESS
LESS
S E P T E M B E R
Make the time for yourself.
Trusting the process, even before you could see or feel a change.
Allowing it to unfold.
Awareness. To notice instability, on & off the mat. What shifts.
Where effort supports you. Where ease gives you room to breathe.
Finding evenness.
Mind. Body. Breath. WHOLENESS.
FINDING YOUR BALANCE
O C T O B E R
Carries September & October forward through Gratitude & Grit.

Stay committed to it.

GRATITUDE
Helps you recognize what you value.
Notice what you might otherwise pass by.
What you’ve taken for granted.
What life’s changes have taught you to value.
The moments and lessons whose meaning becomes clearer with time.
That awareness can change your perspective,
your response, and your next choice.
GRit
keeps you committed
to it.
Angela Duckworth defines grit as
“passion and perseverance for long-term goals.”
“Grit is about working on something you care about so much that you’re willing to stay loyal to it.”
Your health.
The time you make for yourself.
Your practice.
Your family. Your friendships. Your community.
The work that gives you purpose.
Motivation
comes and goes.
Commitment grows through the choices
you continue to make
each moment.
FINDING GRATITUDE
THROUGH UNCERTAINTY
& CHALLENGES
The practice has taught me to trust myself through uncertainty, the unknown, and hardship. To breathe, listen, and respond with awareness.
Moving from one shape to another.
Learning when to hold on, when to let go, and how to adapt.
EVERY TRANSITION MATTERS.
There is something to learn along the way.
Getting lost. Finding your way again. Recognizing how those lessons reach beyond the practice.
ON & OFF
THE MAT
This summer,
my sister’s cancer
returned unexpectedly.
Fear. Feeling lost. So many unanswered questions. Uncertainty.
Again and again, I returned to the practice. Some days with energy. Others carrying more than I knew how to put into words or movement. Some days the practice was silence. Stillness.
BREATH. CONNECTION. BEING LOST. BEING FOUND.
AGAIN & AGAIN.
The practice gave me space to breathe. To feel what I was feeling. To acknowledge what I couldn’t control and listen to what I needed each moment.
And to this community, thank you.
For listening. For showing care. For giving me space to fall apart and time to put myself back together.
You remind me why
this practice and teaching
matter
so deeply to me.
Gratitude for the care and connection shared here.
Grit in continuing to show up for a practice,
a purpose, and a community I love,
through the challenges and hardships.
MOMENT BY MOMENT.
DAY BY DAY.
