Yup, that is how I see you, as family. You're definitely my tribe, my kind of people. I love you, each and every one of you. And not just you, your family, your friends, your scars, your victories, your individuality, your gifts, your tears, all of you. Thank you for being YOU. You. Are. Just. Right.
I'm not here to give you my resume, BUT, did you know that my passion and training is in Kids Yoga? I have been teaching kids yoga and meditation for 3 years now. It started when I began our homeschooling journey. I needed a class to teach at our co-op so I went into the little 3/4 year old classroom. Initially I was to teach art, but then one of my first sessions I turned my back for maybe 1.5 seconds and the little ninjas dumped glue all over the tables and smeared it all over themselves and the tables. Maybe they thought I was all about self expression, but in that moment I said to myself, "I am not cut out for this." Took a deep....DEEP breath and began cleaning up the glue.
The next week I refused to take out any of the art supplies and the kids and I sat in a circle. I asked them to sit in stillness and silence for a minute gazing at a candle. I asked them to notice their breath. And they did it, no, WE did it.
It was there, sitting in circle with those amazing kids that gave me a passion and an awakening I didn't know I had. They became my teachers that day since. My heart told me this was my work.
So here I am with my passion and deep desire leading me to teach kids yoga and step more and more into that and express and offer my gifts here. I hired an amazing photographer (Justin Garrett - JustWrightPhotography) to capture some highlights of my kids yoga class. This is me playing a big bigger, stepping into the role I am meant to play, offering more kids and family classes. If not me than who? If not now, then when?
With that being said, I will be offering more classes at Village, launching online kids yoga classes. This is me, playing big and stepping more and more into my passion, daring greatly to serve. I never knew I wanted to grow up and be a yoga teacher, but if you can zoom in and see the smile on my face you can see this is where I want to be.
This Saturday I invite you to bring your family, all ages as I will be teaching a "kids class" What you can expect is a bit more play, a bit more laughter, a bit more props, a bit more story, a bit more sharing. And now that I've put it that way, it seems that we could ALL benefit from "kids yoga"
I also ask a favor of you, please invite your family and friends to Village. Please invite them to know me and the other instructors more. It takes a Village - I cannot be of service without people to serve. So, I need your help - help Village be full, busting out the doors full. I am asking for help, help me grow, help me be of service. By choosing Village you are helping me pour into my family and our travels and education. This is where your generosity goes. Come here to receive then pour your generosity and then be open to receive then let it flow.
I will see you Saturday and I do hope you'll bring your kids. This is family.
Love and gratitude,
Becky
*Tuesday, July 30, Village under the Stars will be at 309 Drayton Ct. Will resume at Katie's the following week*
