⭐️ Teacher Feature ⭐️ Meet Cathy! And come take her Tuesday night Power of Love Power Yoga class at 6:00PM. Cathy has been with us at Be Love Yoga since Day 1! And we’re so grateful for the energy and love she brings to the studio 💖 Cathy is an ERYT 200 with additional certification in Holy Fire Reiki 1 and 2. Her class style is inspiring and welcoming with a little bit of edge that creates space for yogis to grow and discover. There is an energetic flow in each class that challenges students to move with their body and trust their heart. Cathy has been leading yoga classes since 2013 and is consistently in awe of the sense of community that yoga creates. Wherever, whenever and however you practice yoga, you create an opportunity to begin again, with the strength of your people behind you. She believes in the power of love and community and knows that anyone who begins a yoga journey will cultivate change in our world . @cathybeckius #yoga #tollandct #ctyogateacher #ctyogacommunity #tollandcounty #uconn #uconnhuskies #yogastudio #livfreeyoga

Meet our newest Yoga instructor, Darcie! ✨ "My LivFree® yoga practice began in 2021 and since my first class, I have developed a love for yoga. Through my practice, I open my heart and work through the thoughts that dim my light. I feel a sense of peace, self-confidence, and self-love. Yoga is more than physical strength. The lessons I have learned from yoga provide guidance in dealing with life’s challenges. It is a path to developing deeper spiritual and mental awareness. Yoga has illuminated my light and consciousness allowing me to share this light with others. I believe that in finding my light and sharing its warmth and brightness that it enables others to see a way to their light. ✨ You can join Darcie every Tuesday at 7pm right here at @isccfitness!

Meet Annie Q! Our fearless leader and the creator of LivFree®️ Yoga. Annie is also co-owner of @theyogashop with her best friend, Kim Charbonneau, which they opened together in 2009.

day 6: do you trust your intuition? building trust with yourself is a big deal. something I’ve been curious about recently is the difference between giving ourself grace vs. letting ourselves off the hook. what’s the difference between making an excuse and listening to your body (and your spirit)? I think the difference is trust and intention. living my yoga means practicing off the mat as well. for me, there is a battle with perfectionism. even still. confession: I didn’t get a gold star yesterday. I had hopes of going to the restorative class last night, but after traveling to CT and driving in the snow, the truth is, I didn’t want to go back out last night. I wanted to be home with my family. I needed to restore some order to our house by putting away Christmas and doing the laundry. my spirit needed takeout thai, bravo, and the golden globes. and I needed to trust that. that it was more important than my sticker on the chart. and that’s hard. especially as a leader and a recovering perfectionist. I thought I would feel amazing this morning to wake up to a clean house but…I couldn’t find Grace’s snow pants, and Parker has an ear infection, and again…I have to surrender control. to let go of the shore and jump into the river of life. it’s a day. it’s a monday. and I’m lucky to be alive for it. and I could beat myself up for not finding even 5 minutes to practice yesterday, or I could start over. each day, each moment, is a new opportunity to begin again. so back to my mat. zooming in for a home practice with @dana_wilcox for a @theyogashop LivFree class. good luck to all my friends at the shop starting their 40 day today 🤍 grace over perfection my friends 😘 you got this 💪 #meditation #yoga #40daychallenge #dennisportyoga #livfreeyoga
