Did you know that MRI scans show that when people practice self-affirmation, certain neural pathways are increased in the self-related information processing part of the brain. This means that those who practice self-affirmation are able to effectively change the way we process information about ourselves.
What does this mean for you?
Using an affirmation practice can rewrite your relationship to yourself.
What are some affirmations you can start using today?
Even though Stewart Smalley was a comedy skit on SNL he has some great ones that you can google & use.
Unless you have one in mind right now, try this one....
"At this moment, right here & right now, all is well."
Now, close your eyes for a few moments, put your phone down, and repeat it for a minute straight...set your timer.
Take it up a notch by looking at yourself in a mirror while you do it.
Do this with intentionality every day for a week and watch it rewire your brain!

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over and expecting different results". ~Albert Eiinstein
Remember when you graduated high school or college?
Perhaps you knew where you were headed or at least thought you did?!. Graduation season is a reminder to look back at how far you've come and also a time to muster the courage to pursue your next step.
We can dream and wish all we want, but we only get what we have the competency to have and keep. Everything can look tempting. We can even begin to lust after others' accomplishments or possessions.
When living in a world of anxiety, stress and depression this can get us sidetracked from our own dreams and realness. There's a word we use in yoga, "adikara". It means the right to know or the right to have. It's meant to challenge us to the reality that if we want something, then we better grow the competency required to have it. Otherwise we're probably not going to keep & haven't even earned it.
Based on where you are in your life right now, what is one thing that you want for yourself? Weight loss, less stress, better relationships, more money, etc. What are you doing to work towards that?
If you start something this month,
you will you be able to look back in December 2022 to see how far you've come towards that.
If you keep doing what you're doing right now,
you won't be able to see your growth towards your dreams because you'll have done the same thing you've always done to give you the same results that you already have---which is what we all know as insanity, doing the same thing over & over again expecting different results.
Unsure of what you want or need?
That's why I have my 28 to elevate program. It's meant to guide you over 28 days to uncover what you need to focus on for better health right now AND give you the momentum for real change to feel your best.
You can access this program FREE when you schedule your 3 private Yoga at the Lake classes this month (on land, Paddleboard or Reformer). Learn more here.
Cheers to your dreams,
Keri

Remember just 6 months ago when we kicked off the new year?
What did you want for yourself for this year? Whether you're feeling proud of how far you've already come this year or still know there's things you want to accomplish...this is the time to refresh and reset and make sure it happens as there's 6 month's to go in 2022!
I love the 2nd half of the year because while it can be hard to stick to goals you kicked off the year with in the dark & cold days of winter BUT it's lovely and bright out with longer days now and it's your time to shine!
To help motivate you, I'm bringing in a little yoga wisdom from the first limb of Yoga, Sattya!
Sattya is a reminder to speak the truth....starting with yourself. If all is not well right now, say so!
Here's an example of how to bring that truth out, that you might not even be aware of. Close your eyes and say the following to yourself:
"All may not be well right now, but right now will not last forever. I will figure it out. I will find my way and everything will be okay".
What came up for you?
If you want weight loss, affirm it. If you want less stress, affirm it. If you want more self love, affirm it.
Affirm it by saying it! Close your eyes and say the following to yourself:
"I want to be healthy. I want to feel good. I want to look good. So, I am going to become more of who I really want to be with each workout, healthy meal & positive decision".
Here's 2 of my favorite things that I do EVERY day to feel good!
- Yoga (not always ON the mat, my OFF the mat practice is JUST as important) -
You can do classes for as low as $6 per person per class (with friends)
OR if you're flying solo you'll have FREE access to my 28 to elevate challenge (OFF the mat) when you join me ON the mat. This program is sure to help you reach your health goals because it helps you uncover what needs your attention in YOUR life first. - Wear clothes that make you feel fabulous (ON & OFF the mat) - Use my $25 off code (below) ALL weekend to test something out for yourself!
All you need is your mat and the desire for less stress and better health.
- Classes for 1-3 people can be scheduled at your convenience Wednesday-Sunday. $90 can be split amongst 3 people. $30 per person.
- Organized group classes are Thursdays @ 4:30pm and every other Saturday morning. $35 per person.
- Schedule your land class Wednesday-Sunday $90 can be split amongst 10 people (3X a month is $60, that's $6 a person per class).
