🥁Introducing Hand Craft Yoga's June🌠Student 🥁Introducing Hand Craft Yoga's June🌠Student Spotlight🌠... Mandy C! 
She has a playful attitude toward practice, a sincere interest toward learning, & shares immense generosity with our community (like bringing homemade bread for our fall retreat and teaching us how to make tallow balm for our winter retreat!). 

🌀What is your favorite part of yoga? 
"I enjoy feeling a little bit stronger, a little more flexible & a lot more connected to my body. Yoga helps me feel more capable & confident in my body's abilities. "
🌟
🌀How long have you been practicing with Monica? 
"I began practicing yoga about 15 years ago before kids. It was actually a Yoga-lates class & was an outlet for me to meet new people (while getting fit) after moving to a new state. After having my first baby, I fell off of that routine & lost confidence in my ability to do that kind of activity. Fast forward to June 2022: we moved to Spring Branch & I found Handcraft Yoga online. Lo & behold, I find myself reconnected to the outlet of friends and fitness again!"
🌟
🌀What is something yoga has helped you overcome? 
"As a stay-at-home mom, I devote much of my energy to running the household, transporting 3 kids (ages 14, 11 & 8) and supporting everyone's needs. When I refill my proverbial cup on the mat (both in active movement & in mindful stillness), I am more capable of giving to others around me. Additionally, yoga helps push me out of my  comfort-zone & challenge my body to reach for further goals. I look around in class & see others achieving feats of flexibility & I'm inspired. I know that if I practice consistently like they have, I will see a life of increased mobility, stamina & longevity."
🌟
🌀Do you have any words of advice to a brand new beginner? 
"Come as you are. Clear your thoughts. Open your mind and find your zen. "
🌟
🌀What is one fun fact that we may not know about you?
"I have taken firearms training courses in defensive handgun, shotgun & AR-15 rifles. Highlights include a week-long women's defensive training course & an aerial operations training to shoot from a helicopter.  I’ve attended tactical training schools in Colorado, TX, Florida & Nevada."

Have you ever been in a yoga class and wished you Have you ever been in a yoga class and wished you could pause, rewind, and review what the heck just happened? Like... What were those first few cues? Didn't she say there was an alternative? Can I do this with a strap? 

If so, "Learn a Pose a Day" is the course for you!

Through short video lessons, increase your confidence through understanding! Each mini-video includes foundational, energetic, refinement, and modification cues about common poses in posture practice.

Designed to give you a little dose of yoga each day over the course of a month, this course is divided into 3 sections: 10 seated poses, 10 standing poses, and 10 reclined poses. Of course, for those of you who prefer to "binge-watch" a whole show all at once, it could be more along the lines of: Learn 31 poses in a day! 

This course ensures that wherever you are and however your're feeling, you have the tools to hand craft your yoga. For just $50, gain access to the toolkit.

🥁Introducing Hand Craft Yoga's May🌠Student S 🥁Introducing Hand Craft Yoga's May🌠Student Spotlight🌠... Janet K! She is a great example of being dedicated to both physical posture practice and mental open-minded practice. I am inspired by the way she uses her strength to try new things, to honor her body, and to find balance. Read on for her thoughtful insights:
🌀What is your favorite part of yoga? 
"I love all parts of yoga. What’s not to love! First, I love the way Monica instructs always reminding you of all the levels of a pose, so that each person can do the level best for them. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming and I’ve built some great friendships through the years.  Second, Yoga is for everyone. You don’t have to be a seasoned yogi to reap the benefits. It can calm the mind and strengthen the body. "
🌟
🌀How long have you been practicing with Monica? 
"I’ve been practicing consistently since 2013 and loving every minute."
🌟
🌀What is something yoga has helped you overcome? 
"When I find myself getting stressed and anxious, I go back to the breath to promote calm and relaxation.  This usually gives my mind a chance to tell myself, “It’s probably not as bad as you’re thinking."
🌟
🌀Do you have any words of advice to a brand new beginner? 
"Listen to your body. Hold back when your body says, “Too Much” and go for it when your body says “I can do this!” Be consistent. Try to practice at least 3 times a week. If a move is difficult for you, don’t give up.  One day you may surprise yourself. And last, invest in a good Yoga mat."
🌟
Thanks for sharing your practice with us, Janet!!
