I Didn't Think I Belonged In Yoga Either

✨ Wellness in the Wavelength Episode 7 ✨

This week, we’re diving into a conversation about inclusivity in yoga spaces…and why so many people feel like yoga “isn’t for them.”

Tara Booze, founder of State of Flow Yoga, shares how traditional yoga environments can sometimes feel intimidating or exclusionary. Instead of accepting that narrative, Tara decided to create something different.

By blending yoga with EDM culture, she built a space where EDM lovers and anyone who’s ever felt out of place in a studio can feel seen, welcomed, and included☀️. Her mission is simple but powerful: yoga is for everyone… you just have to find the space that feels like YOU!

What's up, hockey? It's Kat and Paige here, and welcome back to Wellness in the Wavelang.

SPEAKER_00 0:09

Today we have Tara with State of Flow Yoga. Welcome, welcome. Hi, everyone. Thank you. Tara, do you want to tell us a little bit about yourself?

SPEAKER_02 0:18

Sure. So I'm a Colorado native that spent some time in San Diego getting my Cali vibes and my yoga teaching. I am a yoga teacher and I'm the founder of State of Flow Yoga. And there I teach a class called Beats, Base, and Breath, EDM Yoga Flow, where we combine yoga, dance, and EDM to really come home to ourselves and feel good in our bodies.

SPEAKER_01 0:44

Ooh, I love that. Can you tell us a little bit about the connection between that and the Wanna's industry? Like what inspired you to do that, kind of those things?

SPEAKER_02 0:53

Yeah. So I've been teaching yoga for about 10 years and I've had a really dedicated practice before then. And even as a yoga teacher, I was really just not feeling like I fit into the yoga space completely. It's a very welcoming space, but it can be a little intimidating. And there's a lot of aspects of it that just didn't feel like it fit exactly with who I was. So when I started thinking about starting my own journey and creating something that was new and different, I just wanted to combine my love of EDM and all of the things about the EDM culture that I see sort of overlap with yoga philosophy to create a space where few people can really feel welcomed and not judged, and just a space that feels safe to explore embodiment.

SPEAKER_01 1:44

Yeah, that makes sense. And I think we can all three of us as yoga teachers can probably agree that festivals and those types of spaces are sometimes the only spaces people get to have that experience because they don't feel as connected to like traditional style yoga studios or traditional style meditation spaces and things like that. And I think bridging that gap for people is kind of opens the door for them to see that their wellness journey doesn't have to look as like cookie-cutter as they may see on socials or that they're told it needs to look a certain way. Or and I love to travel, but as you don't have to go all the way to Thailand to connect. And it can be kind of like off-putting or exclusive feeling for many people that don't fall in line with that. So it's really nice to hear that you've been like intentional, but also able to look inward to be like, this is the experience I had. Many other people probably feel the same way. But now how do I create this space and continue to create spaces where people can see that like there is a style for you? And that is not at all to take anything away from the more traditional styles that are out there, but to expand it and to make it more inclusive.

SPEAKER_02 2:54

Yeah, I totally agree. And I think that's a really good way to put it too is you know, there is so much great yoga out there, and there's so many styles that are really suited to different types of people and different personalities. And so, yeah, not to take away from the traditions of yoga and all that it's been created and all of the great things that are in the community. But yeah, it's like an expansion. This is really bringing in people who would otherwise say, like, I would never walk into a yoga studio in my life, or I would never practice yoga, I can't sit still. You know, you hear a lot of these things, the yoga myths, like I can't touch my toes, or I can't quiet my mind. But really, it's not about perfecting any of those things. It's just about like that exploration of and that freedom to really like see what it feels like to go into that kind of mindset. And I love festivals so much and shows, of course. But it's like that feeling kind of goes away the next day, like it's gone. And you're like, oh, I felt this huge sense of community and this connection. And now I feel kind of empty and I can't wait for it to come again. So, like having something like a yoga space or you know, other types of activities that involve EDM that you can do more on a regular basis and build relationships with people where you're starting to make friendships and bonds, you're seeing each other every week. Then you have new buddies to go to shows with.

SPEAKER_00 4:24

Yeah, and I think that's just a beautiful way to even merge the two worlds together, the festival world and the wellness world, because we can actually like we're not just waiting for that next festival to drop a thousand dollars so that we can go hang out with our friends again and we can actually create that unification around taking care of our bodies.

SPEAKER_02 4:46

Yeah, that's super important.

SPEAKER_01 4:49

Yeah, well, making it sustainable versus like this like one-hit wonder experience that people get, especially because I think again, both of you can probably agree that when you are in a space where people may not have it in their like day-to-day normal practice, they take that feeling that they got in that almost like portal you created for them at a festival, and then they leave. And sometimes they do have like obviously very positive memories about it. Then they almost are like, What do I do now? Like, I need more of it. And it can also feel somewhat like shattering inside because they're like, wow, I really needed that and I want more of it, but I don't have anywhere to go. And it can kind of also impact their mindset and sometimes push them further away from it because they're like, This is the only place I'm getting this. Oh my God, I felt felt so connected to this facilitator. I can never see the facilitator again. Like, what am I supposed to do? I don't want to go in these places and they go right back to square one where it's like not till festival season again, till they have that. And I just think that creating that bridge, as we've all been saying, is important for like sustainability and things like that. Cause I know for me, when I like teach on yoga retreats and stuff like that, the integration period afterwards is like so important. But when you go to a festival, you don't really get that yoga class or meditation class or whatever it is, you leave and then you don't know any kind of property, you don't have the skill set or proper tools to be able to like integrate those. And that could cause anybody to go into a spiral transparently.

SPEAKER_02 6:13

Yeah, totally. And you know, I like think this all the time. Like some when we're in this mode of like it's festival season or it's red rock season, and it's just like one after the other, and you're never taking that time to like fully get quiet and let it really sink in and sit in your body. And when we practice things like this on the yoga mat, it does give us those tools and that repetition of practicing those tools helps you to do it while you're there at the show or at the end of the night, where you just take a minute and you just like take that big breath and like let it all land. And yeah, I think that's we're so close. I think the EDM community is so close to getting these wellness practices like integrated into their life, but they haven't named them. They don't have a name for them, they don't have like these specific like practices or rituals around it. So I like to try through my teaching, try to make those connections and help people see like where this yoga practice or where this tool fits into that EDM lifestyle.

SPEAKER_00 7:19

Yeah. And even in just like I an example that I've experienced myself, and I like I've watched these tools impact myself and been using them for other people. It's like when you're in a crowd, like there's a lot of high energy there, and like anxiety can run rampant. And like what happens when someone you know who's like a little tutor is like going through a spiral in their own existence, and like being able to utilize these tools that we've trained and practiced into the body, and being able to use them so that what we can help our friends, we can be in community, we can help ourselves and our mind with our anxiety and actually like integrate the tools into the experience.

SPEAKER_01 8:01

Yeah. I think that also helps with like, you know, obviously there's a lot of escapism that goes on in our industry and some of those moments when people are feeling really overwhelmed and then they don't have those skill sets like finding their breath or things like that in the wellness space that you learn how to do, where then they do end up going in further into drugs and or alcohol. And then that creates a whole other thing because, like someone you said earlier, around like they can't name what they're feeling. And so it's a little bit easier in those moments, not be able to name what you're feeling and what it can look like. And then that's where substance abuse has run rampant in our industry and stuff like that, not because they're so much trying to like feel something different, it's that they don't know what to do about the overstimulation. They don't know what to do about like just these crowds of people. But if they did have, you know, a skill set outside of that where they're like, I need to go to the side or let me sit and drink water or let me get a meal versus like, let me take another bump, let me drink. And I'm not saying that people, I am no one's here to ever police anyone's fun. And I think people should do what's best for them. But I do see where if people did have a more sustainable and reoccurring wellness practice, they'd be able to name some of those emotions they're feeling and it wouldn't learn and it wouldn't lean as far as it has into escapism. They have those tool sets to be like, wait a minute, I don't have to do this to run away from how I'm feeling. I'm just overwhelmed. I should maybe just go out of the crowd. Like, find something to make me feel better at this moment that's gonna make me feel worse later.

SPEAKER_02 9:30

Yeah, totally. And like you said, having that kind of consistent practice, it creates what at least for me, it creates this like two additional seconds for me to make a choice. It's I'm like one more second longer, and I'm gonna consider a little bit more mindful, conscious decision. And I don't know if this is because I'm getting older. I mean, I'm 40 now, so that that's kind of built into aging when you start making different decisions. But I do like to think that it is, you know, to thank my yoga practice and my meditation practice for creating that little bit of additional space to be like, is this do I want to go this way or this way? And I feel like it's working out in my favor, at least I hope.

SPEAKER_01 10:15

No, that's so, so true. We talked about that a little bit on our like lot last podcast with Morgan. Like, I mean, I'm gonna be 33 soon and she'll be 36 or 37 soon. And like, I will say, I think that does play a role, but I do think, and we were talking about this because she was at Red Rocks with me too, like, just that having that wellness space of being able to take that minute and be like, hold on, is it better to go left or is it better to go right? And then to make impulsive decisions that have like a much longer reverb, if you will, then yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:48

Exactly. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 10:49

Than just like moving in like sustainability.

SPEAKER_02 10:53

100%.

SPEAKER_01 10:54

But I just love to even know more about what a class with you is like. Tell us what that was like next one.

SPEAKER_02 11:01

I'm very proud of it. I'm very proud of what has transpired. I think when I first started, I was like shooting in the dark. I didn't really know what was gonna land. At first, I was like, are people even gonna be into this? Because it was either gonna be too EDM or too yoga, like too much of one or the other. And I was just really worried it wasn't even gonna stick. But I was like really committed to like staying, staying my path. I'm one of those people, thanks to my ADHD, I have tons of great ideas, but it's you know, that execution and consistency is really hard. And it's very easy for me to be like, this isn't working. I'm gonna go a different direction. So I was like made a promise to myself I was really going to stay committed to trying this for at least six months, was like my plan. And when I first started, I just was like kind of creating, you know, playlists that felt good for me. They weren't like headed in a specific direction, but like my first couple were like mostly like music that I really like. I'm a house head by nature, so that's kind of what I started with some deep house and like lane eight. And you know, we were going that direction. And it kind of wasn't taking off as much as I thought it would. And then I started playing around with more bass, which is like not my wheelhouse by per se. I don't hate bass. I I'm in, I'm in it way more now than I ever was. But and that's where I started finding a lot of people who were like, I'm into this, like I'm interested. What are we doing here? I like this, like the wubs feel really good and a yoga flow. So over time I've started to kind of do like artist features where I'll do one whole playlist like featuring one artist. Sometimes we'll do like a theme, like last month for women or for this month for Women's History Month. The last class I did was the rise of the divine feminine. So it was just like all music that kind of helped me or that I felt like kind of tapped into that essence of like that watery movement. So I'll make a playlist, you know, that's it has an arc, like a very similar arc to a yoga, any kind of yoga playlist where it starts slow and it builds and then it comes down. I like to incorporate some really simple dance into the yoga. This is one thing that I couldn't help myself from doing when I was practicing yoga myself. Like I was constantly like shaking my butt or like wiggling my arms. And I was like, this is the perfect place for this kind of free form movement. So I really do try to encourage that. It's interesting to see in the different in the groups of people. Like you'll see, some people are way into it, some people are definitely kind of resisting it a little bit, but there's that curiosity there to like wiggle the hips, and I'll do really simple kind of Zumba-like steps. I usually do like one or two songs where we'll do a total dance break and we just do like movement. Like there's something about moving together in a group and it's fun. We laugh, like people mess up. I mess up all the time, which I think is helpful for my students to feel comfortable screwing it up. But that's like a fun little aspect of it that I think is really different. And there's the style of yoga is very dynamic. It's not like in a Hatha class where it's very slow, long holds. We'll explore a little bit of that, but mostly there's a lot of like pulsing or moving in and out of something. So, like we'll go from like a low lunge to a half split, like back and forth. We'll find some arm movements. So it's kind of a lot of dynamic movement, not a lot of traditional like chaturanga. I I have wrist issues. And so it's never been a favorite of mine. Like I will integrate it into my practice, but it's like something that I kind of stray away from. And I got a lot of feedback at first from a lot of beginner students who were like, yeah, I tried yoga and it just really hurt my hands and it was really hard to like hold down dog for a long time. And this just felt kind of different. It was a little, it's a little bit more accessible in that way. And I think there's a lot of spaces where you can you control the lever of intensity. You can make it really strong and engaged and strength building, or you can pull back and make it a little bit more like free-flowing. And I tell everyone, you know, it's an invitation. There's nothing required of this yoga practice. It's a playful practice, it's not meant to be perfect, you know, above all. I just hope that everybody walks away feeling seen and feeling like they were able to be free enough to explore the movement.

SPEAKER_01 15:42

I love that. Honestly, it sounds so similar to how I teached. And I've I something that came out was like I always tell them, like, we're just dancing together. It's just a flow dance, like we're just vibing. And so it's really nice to hear you talk about your class. And I'm like, I want to go. I'm like very picky actually as a teacher of like the style of classes that I'll go to. And I'm like, wait, I would definitely go to her class. This is like like dynamic, flowy move. Like, I teach that same way and similar responses. You know, I don't do a lot of long holes. Like, I listen, I'm not trying to be in Warrior 2 for 10 minutes personally.

SPEAKER_00 16:19

Yeah, and I think that it's really cool, just especially because I've been to one of Tara's classes and just the environment that it's in, it's like all black light, like you've got all of these like like symbols all over the room. Like it's in like such a cool, dynamic, like cool area, too. Yeah, like it's like a party, and I really appreciated just like how fun and invitational Tara really makes the class because it's you come away with it, like because like it's like yoga can be really serious, like it can be a really serious, like solo practice where you dive deep into yourself and you're doing this whole thing, but also like we're just having fun, it doesn't have to be that serious. And I know that Tara like does a really good job at like really bringing that energy to make it more inclusive, and it felt so beginner-friendly.

SPEAKER_01 17:09

Yeah, it's I'm coming, I would love you, but I'm like, I'm coming because I'll literally say to my class, I'll be like, Is everybody okay? Y'all look so serious right now. Like, we need to right now. Like, I'm like, I want to go, I'm gonna come one day.

SPEAKER_02 17:24

Yeah, we have a lot of laughing in my class, which I love. Like, I never thought I would hear so much laughter in my teaching yoga, but yeah, it's super beginner-friendly. And I think that was really what I wanted to like hone in on as I was kind of starting to come up with like my formula and style of teaching, because I do think more than more than I want to call to the yogis to come experience this different style, which I do. And I have a lot of students who are like, wow, I've taken tons of yoga. This is very different, very fun. It's like kind of nice to try something on that's different if you have like a really serious yoga practice. But more than that, what I wanted to call was our EDM fam that like never would have, like again, like they're like, no yoga for me, no thanks. So I wanted to make sure that it wasn't gonna come off as like that class, like, I hated that. That was so hard. Because I've been there. I remember when I first started doing yoga and I went to a class one time where we were doing some pretty intense like push-ups or something like that. And the teacher called me out by name and was like, Come on, Tara, you can do it. And I just like started crying. And I was like, that will never be me. Like, I'm never gonna be that person that's like, you can do better. Cause that's just not that's not the vibe that we're trying to do at Beat Space and Breath. So yeah, it's ever everybody's welcome. And I like to believe from the feedback that I've gotten that people are feeling that inclusivity and welcomeness.

SPEAKER_01 18:58

Oh, I feel it, Bramio, and I've never been there. So I'm sure they all love it.

SPEAKER_02 19:04

They're amazing. My community is so awesome and it's grown, you know, it started kind of slow and it was kind of just random. You know, if it was like not that nice of weather out, people would be in, and I wouldn't really have like a consistent like group of regular students that were coming all the time. But over the last two years, we've definitely built a really great community. I have a team of ambassadors who work with me who are amazing. They've been coming to class for a long time. And so now we're working together in a way that we're doing kind of like a trade and they'll help with check-in. They help to make sure everybody's feeling welcome. They help them find their props and materials and the bathroom and all of that. They start conversations. We have like the first 15 minutes of class or when we start check-in, is dedicated to community time. So it's meant for people to play with the glow paint. We have glow body paint and talk about concerts and DJs. And my ambassadors really helped to kind of get those conversations started. And it's just turned into this really awesome group of people who are now becoming friends, they're going to shows together. We go to Base Bingo. I go at least twice a month, and I got a whole crew that goes every week. And we try to do like little field trips here and there. So the community aspect of it, I think, was what I was craving the most when I started it. I think I was feeling alone when I first moved back to Denver. I had just had my son. So I was on noon bomb. I was back in a community that I hadn't been in for like 10 years. And so I was just really craving like that community. I was craving my yoga community. I was craving my rave family. And I was like, I need to create all this over again. And so it just felt really authentic to start this and build that. And now I have that. So it's just, it's really fulfilling in all the ways.

SPEAKER_01 21:00

But it also makes sense where it took a little bit because you're also like retraining people's minds to realize that they can have this outside of a festival space, right? Like it makes sense where because I know some others that have tried to do something similar, but I think it's like that period where it's like, no, you're trying to kind of not sell people on the concept, but move where they think they would never be in that space and they would hate it from being this one thing to like you can be in this consistent community. Like this is something you can do weekly, like it's okay. Like I'm sure that took a little bit of time to like convincing, even subconscious thing with people.

SPEAKER_02 21:34

Yeah, it definitely did. It did take a little bit of time to build up. And I think a lot of people were like, Oh, yeah, I'll go to that once because I'll do like a Grizz class, and Grizz sells out every time because Denver, of course. And it was, you know, so people think, Oh, I'll just go and try it out. My friend wants me to go. We're gonna go to Grizz Yoga, blah, blah, blah. But then they're like, I had so much fun, I want to come back. So then And we start talking about like, okay, we've got this like four-pack, and you can have cheaper classes. And I think the community aspect of that too is like sort of the lure or the sell. Like a new student can see all the other students saying hi to each other, giving hugs, getting excited about shows that they're going to that weekend. And they're like, okay, yeah, I see. This is something that's like continuously. I can be part of it. Yeah. Yeah. And it's it is, we do need this in the EDM community. We need more spaces that are not necessarily and solely focused on partying. And again, like not that's doesn't have its place. It totally has its place. But that's not sustainable. We can't do that every day. So finding these new opportunities to do other activities with people who like the things we like within that community, within our EDM fam, I think is so important. And I think there's even more beyond, you know, yoga. There's like, I don't know if you guys are familiar with Ferrell Collective Society, run by Stephanie. She's amazing, really good friend of mine. But she does these crafting events where it's they have a live DJ and she's really into DB. So it's like D B craft night where you're making a masquerade mask. And it's the same idea. It's like the same concept of like, let's come around together to do this thing together that's fun and enjoy the music without it being like a formal festival or a concert.

SPEAKER_01 23:33

Other options.

SPEAKER_00 23:38

Yeah. And I think it's just like so important, just like finding that third space for us to convene together, even outside of festival spaces, because like if I go to a festival, like more than likely, I'm not gonna just be sitting there chit-chatting, getting to know what my friend's doing. Like that conversations obviously do happen, but like a lot of people are there for the music and the experience, and we're running around like with our heads cut off, trying to catch the set, right?

SPEAKER_02 24:05

So there's not that much time to really like get into like deep conversations beyond just like the very late hours of the night conversations, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:15

Well, and it's like quick too, right? Because then, like, someone else is calling you, and then they're trying to run it here, someone wants to get food, and it's hard to get those like intimate moments with people to like create these relationships that are based more on just these like short moments of like excitement until the music starts, you know? Because then you have friends when you are in environments where you can like really get to know like who they are, where they come from, their goals, their aspirations, and then that even offers opens up opportunities to work together. Like amount of times I've gotten had to have real conversations with people in like non-festival spaces, which then lead to like projects together. Like, how do we do more of that?

SPEAKER_02 24:52

Yeah, yeah, 100%. Yeah, that's the goal. I feel like it's moving in that direction. I really do. I when I first started, I didn't know for sure if this was like gonna be a thing, but like seeing you guys posting the things that you have about wellness, the like the posts on Instagram, the informative educational posts and the podcast conversations, like there's a need for this and there's a want for this, and there's space for this. And I think it's all about just kind of putting it out there in a way that feels authentic. And to me, I think the biggest thing I want to avoid, and this is no shade to my fellow yoga teachers, but I don't want to come off as this like my life is perfect because I do yoga and everything is great. Literally, you know, like I am perfect, like I'm not perfect, I'm messy, I screw up all the time, I'm late, like you know that's life. That is life. So it's not about being perfect, it's about navigating the imperfections. And I just hope that we we can continue to present these tools and practices in that authentic way so that we don't become off-putting because I that's like the direction I don't want to go, is like pushing people away. So that's the goal, but I think we're getting there.

SPEAKER_01 26:13

I love that so much. You like spoke to my core in so many ways. I could gap around that concept, like probably for like another 45 minutes. Cause I'm like, please do not think I have it all together, actually. I barely know what day it is half the time.

SPEAKER_02 26:26

100%. Yeah. I I recently did like a meeting with my ambassadors where I wanted to get some feedback because I knew they would, you know, be honest. And so I was like, okay, give it to me straight, guys. Like, what do we love? What do we hate? What do we keep? And the thing that kept playing over and over again, which was like kind of funny, they were like, your authenticity is probably my favorite thing. And someone said, You mess up in class, and then you announce that you messed up, like you'd be like, Oh, sorry, we did the wrong side or we did the wrong sequence. And that makes me feel safe when I mess up, and it makes it feel like I don't need to judge myself for it. And so, you know, in those moments where like, I of course I want to come off as this like professional person who's got it all together, but it feels easier to just be myself. And I'm glad to hear that's landing and resonating with people.

SPEAKER_00 27:21

Yes, I love that. And where can people take your class?

SPEAKER_02 27:27

So we have a cool little space in Rhino. I am not the owner of the studio, it's called Rhino Yoga Social, and it's all independent yoga teachers who are running their own business out of the space, and they rent those like time slots. So I currently am teaching on Saturdays from 10 to 11:30 every Saturday at Rhino Yoga Social in Denver off Walnut. And I'm hoping to expand it. My goal is to have at least one weeknight class at that same space. So that's kind of like current state. And then ideally in the future, I'm hoping to do some more kind of like pop-up style events. I'd really love to start working with some DJs. I've done a couple of live sets and they're super fun, and it definitely brings in like a whole different vibe. But like my dream that I'm like manifesting that I'm gonna make happen this year, is like a rooftop sunset event. So keep your eyes peeled for that. We got a pretty flourishing Instagram situation going on, so that's where you can find all the information.

SPEAKER_01 28:34

Amazing. And the next time I'm in Denver, which will be sometime this summer, I'm gonna try and make it one of the things. Oh, we can all go together. I'll be there this.

SPEAKER_02 28:42

Yeah, yes, let's coordinate. And I know like Saturday mornings can be rough if you have a Friday night show. So, you know, I always tell like my regulars, I'm like, no judgment. Like, if you go to Red Rocks Friday night, I don't expect you to see you on Saturday morning, but I do think it's a great way to start your Saturday. It's such a like high energy feeling, and when everybody's leaving, we're all excited to go do the things we've got planned for the weekend. So it's not too terribly early, but you know, I know for some of our friends it's they're going to bed at like nine. That's okay. That's okay. I'm too old for that now. I think my official hard line is at PM.

SPEAKER_01 29:20

Yeah, that's why Red Rocks has slapped back because I don't say up late. I was telling Paige, I was like, Oh my, I don't even go to shows that much anymore. Cause I'm like, I take my sleep so seriously that I was that I'm like, it's just literally pure overstimulation and like up late. My body's like, What are you doing? And you're in a different time zone. Yeah. All the things. Oh no, bedtime 9, 10 p.m. is now takes.

SPEAKER_02 29:44

I think a lot of us are getting there. I really do. And I love to see like all the day parties that are going on in the past. They're like, start at two, end at eight. I'm like, I'm here for that, like 100%. Cause yeah, I don't have it in me. I on Thursday night we went to Bass Bingo, and one of my students had a show at Larimer Lounge. So she was doing a B2B and it started at 10. And I was like, oh man, 10 p.m. on a Thursday night. I don't know. It was tough. It was good. I was glad I was able to go, but it was I was feeling it Friday, that's for sure.

SPEAKER_01 30:19

No, I tell my friends, I'm like, if it starts after 8:30, do not invite me. I don't invite me because I will do that maybe one time a month. But I was like, uh-uh, I won't be there. More day shows, more day breakback shows. Well, Rez at some point had talked about how she wanted to start turning to where like she wasn't like the last set of the night because she's like, I'm tired. She's like, you know, playing at one, two in the morning on tour is like very hard. And I'm just like, yes, let's just do day, let's just change it all today.

unknown 30:54

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 30:55

Yeah. 100%. Start at two, end at eight. Sounds amazing.

SPEAKER_02 31:00

We'll start a movement.

SPEAKER_01 31:02

Yeah, let's start the movement here.

unknown 31:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:06

No, it's true though. It's good. And like, I we need more of that. Like, I want to, my son is six now and he's ready for shows. And there's just nothing like Red Rocks is even kind of late for him, you know. So we're doing, we're gonna take him to Zedstead for 4th of July. And even that's pushing it till 10. But I was like, God, we need to find something he can go to that starts certain day.

SPEAKER_01 31:28

I have a five-year-old, so I will be out there one day. Yeah, maybe we can find something and take them. Yeah, he just turned five in February. So yeah. I would love that.

SPEAKER_02 31:38

I that's like another group I want to connect with more, is the EDM parents. So if there's EDM parents listening to this right now, especially if you're in Denver, let me know because I'm all about that. I think that's a whole nother demographic that really needs some TLC for sure.

SPEAKER_01 31:53

And we're here.

SPEAKER_02 31:55

They are out there.

SPEAKER_00 31:57

I love this conversation. Do you have anything else, Tara, that you wanna say or talk about?

SPEAKER_02 32:03

Yeah, for now, I mean, I think just if there's one thing I could say to people who are kind of considering exploring wellness practices, is like, you know, it's you are worth it. You are worth all of that. Like it's a gift that you give to yourself and it's gonna help you sustain the life that you love instead of burning out from the life that you love and becoming something that you hate. These tools really do, like I say, live well, rave well. So, like if you are practicing on the daily, filling your cup in ways that make you feel good, nourished, and replenished, you're gonna have what you need to go out and rage. So finding that balance is definitely worth the effort.

SPEAKER_00 32:50

Oh, and I love that. I love that.

SPEAKER_02 32:54

Thanks for having me on. This was really fun. I'm so excited. And I wanna I have to listen to some more of you guys' episodes too. Thank you for doing what you do.

SPEAKER_01 33:03

Yes, and we love feedback too, and we'll definitely have you back on. This is Wellness in the Waybank. And we'll see you next time.
