Episode 135: You Are Not Alone

Today’s episode is really close to my heart. I want to share the story of why I started ISHA WARRIORS: TEEN YOGA and how it connects to the work I’m doing right now with suicide prevention. 

...And it all has to do with the fact that I want you to know that you are never alone!

Yoga helps us feel connected.  Before every class I teach, whether in person or a class I film to post on Youtube, and before every podcast I think about creating...I always ask myself, "What do teens need to hear?  How can I help them know they are not alone?"  

I have shown up again and again for ISHA WARRIORS; even though running this nonprofit has been the hardest endeavor of my life. So much I've had to learn! So many failures I've gotten to jump back up from!  (Sometimes less jumping than dragging!) I keep showing up because I care and I want to help you show up again and again, too. 

Yoga helps us feel seen; even more so when it is in person.  This Thursday, September 11th, ISHA WARRIORS is hosting NOT ALONE-a free in person event for teens and their families. 

There will be speakers who will inspire, a yoga routines that heals and the night always ends with lanterns on the lake...lanterns you get to decorate! 

So bring a friend and bring your mat and we will see you at the Washington Township Park pavilion the second Thursday of September!
