Hi Elijah,
I'm pretty good at being alone and practicing at home. The story behind me setting up MFML was that I was living in the countryside in the UK when I decided that I
needed to practice to the very best teachers and I needed them there in my home, so I could care for my dog who had cancer. I know that online yoga helps so many others, perhaps who also live rurally or just live very busy lives. It can really be a tool that changes with us, our bodies and our mental state.
Well, I do realise that the one thing online yoga can lack is the sense of
community and sense of support, and right now, even I'm starting to feel a little isolated. So, those extroverts and those who are used to working around people, or who have very busy social lives normally, must really be feeling quite lonely. I've always felt that there is a sharp difference between feeling alone and feeling lonely.
But even for an introvert like me,
it's nice to feel connected. Our
Movers group has really come into its own at this time. It feels good to know that although we may be alone, we're not lonely.
That is one reason why I thought up the
Home Yoga Retreat which we all start tomorrow! Now is the time to
SIGN UP if you'd like to do the retreat along with me and the team. On our Home Retreat we'll get two daily classes, PLUS a daily LIVE meditation with one of our amazing teachers at 7pm GMT on the
Movers group (which will also be on a web page for those who aren't able to come at that time). We'll also have a LIVE Q&A with Adam Hocke on Sunday 5th April;
a chance to ask any burning questions about home practice or your alignment.
Each day we'll have a theme which we'll all be exploring on the Movers group, so we can
all take the journey into our sense of home; a true home-coming together. We'll be part of a connected community to explore what it means to come home to ourselves. Really this time to stay at home is an utter gift, and I hope that this Home Retreat will help us to see this sacred time, in this sacred space, as a gift to ourselves.
This week I wanted to share some
blogs to help those of you who are feeling disconnected, anxious or stressed at this time, and to help you to get into the rhythm of your home yoga practice. The reason why I'm so passionate about sharing these practices is that I truly know a
yoga practice at home can be the whole difference between a disconnected day where we feel 'stuck', to a feeling of freedom and connection. This feeling of freedom and connection comes from within, it isn't at all reliant on the external, or events over which we cannot control. This is the reason why yoga, mindfulness and mindful breathing are so essential right now.
I really do hope you're keeping safe and well.
Remember, just because we're all alone it doesn't mean that we're not connected. Thank you for your continued support for each other and our heart-felt community.
With love,
