Living Softly

Living Softly is a response to the current culture of stress we are all bathing in. We are post Girl Boss, in the midst of a loneliness epidemic, and craving some relief. Hustle Culture has gone from a reputation of a fun independent, lifestyle, to the realization that it’s a hamster wheel of wanting more and never feeling satisfied.

You CAN achieve your goals without destroying your wellbeing. You can follow your passions and contribute your energy and talents to the world without being buried in stress. You can live in a natural state of flow, moving through conflict and challenging emotions with grace and awareness while avoiding the push-harder, do-more mentality that huts our bodies and our spirits.

Being comfortable begins with your position and finding a way not to struggle or build tension. You just want to be where you are, whether it’s siting in a meeting, standing on a subway platform, working at a loud cafe, playing with your child or even arguing with your partner.

Healing is Your Response to Being Safe

Recently I shared a Strala Guide’s moving experience from taking the Strala Online 30+Hour Intensive Yoga Training: Healing and Teaching Support for Trauma. Creating a safe space and how we are as Guides, along with the practices, has so much to do with healing. Helping others heal has been and always will be the main reason I teach others how to lead. How we are gives the space for others to heal and experience themselves in safety.

We’re happy to offer you 1/2 off the Strala Online 30+Hour Intensive Yoga Training: Healing and Teaching Support for Trauma through Feb 3 so you can gain the tools to heal yourself, those around you and those you lead. These practices have given me the ability to help thousands of Guides who help so many around the world every day. The ripple affect is beautiful.

Strala Yoga x American Tai Chi and Qigong Association

We have exciting news!  Our Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong classes and trainings at Strala Yoga are now all accredited by the American Tai Chi and Qigong Association. 

This means from today on, when you graduate from any of our yoga, tai chi, or qigong trainings, as well as when you accumulate class hours with us on the Strala Yoga app, you’ll have ATCQA accreditation and certification, in addition to YAP.  And for everyone right away, all past and future graduates, as well as all of you here on Strala Home, you can join ATCQA to access all their member benefits, and a worldwide community of practitioners.

This means we as a community are even more supported to focus on public health and wellbeing. We have always believed these practices work best when they extend beyond the walls of gyms and yoga studios. This is your sign to take what you learn in your Strala Trainings and work with people where you feel called. Hospitals, senior centers, community centers, schools, after school programs, the possibilities for you are limitless.
