I hope your week has been going well.<\/p>\n

I cannot believe it is the end of May already!<\/p>\n

Wowza!<\/p>\n

As June approaches I have been getting a lot<\/em> of requests for mindful ways to get in shape for summer (here in the states) and for the pool.<\/p>\n

This is a delicate subject matter for me because if I make a video called \u201cBikini Body Yoga\u201d<\/strong> or \u201cBeach Body Yoga\u201d <\/strong>I cannot assure myself that my humor or sincere advocacy for self-love over bikini booty vibes will shine through.<\/p>\n

It is important for me to have fun and respond to requests. But I also want to make sure we are clear on the intention and the true root importance of investigating the process of getting back to one\u2019s truest self.<\/p>\n

And falling in love with that.<\/p>\n

Over and over again.<\/p>\n

I think when pool season comes we are programmed to do the opposite.<\/p>\n

At least in my culture.<\/p>\n

Perhaps we can use our mission of Find What Feels Good<\/em> and the amazing growth of the YWA community to come up with a way to inspire movement and self love in a way that truly feels supportive of who you are and what your beautiful body looks like.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019ve got it, flaunt it.\u201d<\/p>\n

I think that the tools of yoga have the power to do both.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the more you practice - \u00a0the more you fall deeply in love with\u2026 your bod, your breath, your moves, your grooves, your curves, your lurves (no clue) and your all around awareness & attitude.<\/p>\n

With each practice we have a chance to dig at our true essence and I think true self-acceptance and love is so very vital in that journey feeling good.<\/p>\n

So \u2013 get that body that makes you feel good by loving your body NOW<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the ride and I am going to remind you that I\u2019m right here with you to help you make it fun and feel supported!<\/p>\n

This weekend we gear up for a month of EMPOWERMENT<\/em> and body movin'.<\/p>\n

#EMPOWER30<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am doing 30 Days of EMPOWER<\/a> and I\u2019m inviting you to join!<\/p>\n

\"empower-sidebar-ad\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Empower is my version of Power Yoga and a fun way to kick your booty mindfully and with a sense of self-love and play. It\u2019s hot, it\u2019s fierce and it\u2019s challenging.<\/p>\n

But it is also built to inspire joy, mindfulness and cultivate strength and support from within. For me, those are the qualities of yoga that bring you back to your mat each day. For me,\u00a0EMPOWER\u00a0is not about getting a bikini body (though we can!) but it is about getting strong, healthy and empowered.<\/p>\n

This is a course that inspires lasting results that start from within.<\/p>\n

I'll be sending out a new calendar<\/em> just for the EMPOWER30<\/strong> challenge and on June 1 we will be adding downloadable versions of our most popular Vinyasa sequences that you can add into the mix.<\/p>\n

Join me!<\/p>\n

Get EMPOWER today for only $97.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

No coupon needed, but we will be closing the doors again on June 2.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also, we uploaded a big request this week!<\/p>\n

Yoga For When You're In a Bad Mood!<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a great practice for when you are feeling like you will never be comfortable diving into the deep end. (NAKED?!)<\/p>\n

It is a great practice to let the thinking mind take a break so you can dive right in.<\/p>\n

As they say, \u201cYou gotta start somewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s do this,<\/p>\n

Adriene<\/p>\n

PS - <\/strong>Thank you so much for all of the kind well wishes on my vocal surgery \u2013 happening next week actually. I will post a (silent) Vlog (take that Silent Bob!) and send you details on what\u2019s up next week. In the mean time \u2013 lets get geared up to rock June\u2019s socks off.
