A note from the Director:
Hello YOGAthletix community!
Happy May!
Did you know that the month of May (in Latin, Maius) was named for the Greek Goddess Maia, who was identified with the Roman era goddess of fertility, Bona Dea, whose festival was held in May, and this is why we celebrate Mother's Day this month? In celebration and honour of all the amazing mothers in our community, our theme this month is "be patient."
I have been learning more and more over the years about the level of patience required of moms. It is honestly a superhero skill and one that now means more to me than ever! Having just made it through my first trimester of pregnancy ..... SURPRISE (or maybe not since I feel like everyone can totally tell!), my patience has been tested for over 12 weeks. Constant nausea, food aversions, exhaustion, and undesirable bodily changes all happening while needing to keep this big secret from my greatest support system - the YOGAthletix community - has been almost unbearable at times! All I can say is that if I manage to handle pregnancy and motherhood with even half as much grace as all the YOGAthlete superstar mammas have before me, it will feel like an accomplishment!
There is probably something in all of our lives that could use a little more patience, such as waiting for the warm weather to kick in... so relax and enjoy the new look and feel of YOGAthletix and all of the fun things going on at the studio, including more Core Flow, a FREE Women's Self Defence Seminar, a Headstand workshop with Emily, bringing your mom to class for FREE on Mother's Day and much, much more! So put your smile on and continue reading about everything you have to look forward to this May at YOGAthletix!
