Beginner's Mind

I'm going to keep this week's newsletter short and sweet since it's my first of what I hope will be many weekly updates. I'm looking forward to exploring a variety of topics with you and I always welcome your suggestions.

For this first newsletter, I'd like to share something I learned during teacher training that has been on my mind a lot over the past week: Beginner's Mind. It's exactly what it sounds like—before we can become anything else, we must first be beginners.

Whenever we begin something new, there will be setbacks, frustrations, and a learning curve. But there will also be moments of joy as we reach milestones and experience success, however small. Somewhere between the challenges and the victories, there is grace. That's where growth happens.

Each week I'll continue to tweak, refine, and maybe even add a little more color to these emails. Thank you for your patience as I find my rhythm, step into Vicki's shoes as owner, and continue doing what I love as an instructor.

Below is this week's schedule with the class links. Please feel free to share it with anyone who might be interested.

I'll see you on the mat!
