<p>Thank you Adriene for the encouragement you offered in this month's vlog: I recently recognized I am suffering from burnout and I am struggling with a decision that is financially risky.  You spoke of expansion and blossoming - this month - May.  I feel in my gut that I need to make a change (need it emotionally!) and I feel I am on the right path to establish a children's yoga business; however, the risk financially to leave a very demanding job that I am not passionate about is weighing on me.  Risk, believing in myself, my mission to help children and not feel financial stress has been my struggle for the past five months.  Everyday your yoga classes speak to me and encourage me...I hope this is MY month.</p>

In a dark place at the moment, not feeling quite as content and in a good headspace as I would like to be, another part of the journey of live I suppose! However, coming to the mat everyday is my little time to find some peace and grounding truly grateful to you and the FWFG team and Benji of course! X

Question…whenever i do anything in yoga that involves any sort of leg raising or lowering, i experience a deep ‘pop’ in my left hip area. Not painful per se, just uneasy feeling. A) is this common? 2) why is it happening and C) are there tips to prevent this? TIA

Almost skipped this one because I'm feeling more burnout than bloom this spring and quite sad about it, but I'm really grateful to see you blooming and humbled by your sharing about struggling with an anxiety disorder and stress cycles. I'm really looking forward to checking out the resources you've shared and just so grateful that you have done so. Happy blooming!

Thank you Adriene for all that you so for us. I will repeat the Yoga for Osteoporosis with the whole community on the 17th! It’s another gem of a series. Two thumbs up, way up! It’s fun and so very rewarding. Marnie elevated my practice with the insights she shared, I love somatic movements. Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! I am practicing with an added layer of awareness as to my yoga practice and in life. It is all connected. My heart overflows with gratitude. Thank youbfor making it possible Adriene. Appreciate all the love, so blessed to be in this safe space. I look forward to the 15 minute Meditation for Burnout. I love your guided meditations too. I look for more contents from Emily and all contents you’re working on for us. Glad to see you looking/feeling good! 💚💙💚
