Hi Subscriber First Name,

Welcome, again, to North County Yoga Therapy — my two-month-old business located in Bonsall, California.

The years of study seem light years in the past — and the two months since opening as a business have flown by. I am surprised I missed the anniversary date (which would have been September 13), but each day I am presented with opportunities and challenges. So, missing the date is not surprising.

To date, I have met many new faces; far beyond the projections I created when contemplating this venture. I am grateful to everyone who is spreading the word, sharing brochures, and talking about me (and Yoga Therapy) to their family and friends.

My main challenge/opportunity is making the community aware, so that previous paragraph is extremely important and valuable. Word of mouth is my best friend. Other challenges/opportunities include credit cards, computer programs, record-keeping, maintaining a clean and pleasant space, and probably other ‘things’ I’m forgetting.

My recent blog is up — my take on ‘Thriving’. Please read and offer comments.

And, on my side table of reading materials:

WAKING - by Matthew Sanford. Many of you may have heard of him - a young man who teaches yoga. He chronicles his journey from age 13, when he was paralyzed from the chest down in an auto accident. Inspiring and with a message for all of us about staying awake to our bodies, no matter what.

As to a fiction read, I am struggling with finding a good one right now - so, focusing on the Sanford book.

If you read the book, Breath by James Nestor, you may find an article in the Atlantic of interest. It’s long, but intriguing, about Long Covid. Almost like reading a mystery of sorts.

My teaching schedule at Sage Yoga Studios remains the same - 4 morning classes each week. The website will have days/times you can find me teaching there.

And, my afternoons are spent in the office, seeing clients, doing follow-up paperwork, taking in a webinar or two. Hopefully, as I settle more into routine, I’ll create some zoom workshops related to Yoga Therapy.

Enjoy your week,

Leslie
