OLO #008 — Yoga This Friday, May 26th, Get "Back in the Groove" With Cheech!

OLO #008 — Yoga This Friday, May 26th, Get "Back in the Groove" With Cheech!

It's Cheech's 20th Yoga Anniversary!

On the morning of May 26, 2003, I dressed in my yoga-fancy all white organic cotton outfit and headed south for the graduation ceremony of my very first 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training program.  Prem Yoga was a cute, funky (now non-existent) yoga studio in West Palm Beach, FL where I had once studied to teach Kripalu Yoga. Check out the fresh, young 2003 Cheech in the pic below!

Prem Yoga Graduation May 26, 2003

This was the first of many yoga teacher training adventures, and many more styles of yoga.  It's quite special because it kicked off twenty (20) nearly uninterrupted years of me getting to share my love of yoga.  I'm thrilled to say that leading yoga practices is still my very favorite thing in the world to do, and now we have a really sweet little space in which to do it.  Very soon, we'll be leaving it on the mat again with you all!

Join Us for Back in the Groove Stretch

I'm celebrating by teaching a long-awaited, first come-first served, "Back in the Groove" Stretch at 7 am this Friday, May 26, 2023.  Ony four (4) spots are left for the LIVE, in-studio class at our tiny, new boutique yoga studio in Saint Lucie West (courtesy of OLO's Sensei Paul Bertolino, and the cozy counseling offices of Only Live, LLC).

Sage Somatics is Our Tiny, New "Boutique" Yoga Studio

Sage Somatics is the newest part of Only Live, LLC and was created as a complement to our existing counseling practice.  We aim to provide the Treasure Coast with instruction in a variety of body-based systems for wholeness and health.  As Sage Somatics, we'll be dedicated to leading private and small group relaxation, movement, sound, and breath practices in the studio, and online.

Sage Somatics Relaxation Movement Sound and Breath Body-Based Systems for Wholeness and Health

We look forward to reconnecting with you and to moving into an exciting new phase of our work.  Together, we will learn about resetting the nervous system, resolving trauma, and the application of Polyvagal theory to create ease in our bodies, and bring about a settling response. We'll be building new skills with which to cope with stress, anxiety and depression. If you are out there feeling like you've lost your groove, please join us.  We're here, we've created a space of inclusion and acceptance.  We're ready to move, meditate and create with you all.
