Hi Meghan,

I have received a BOLSTER for Christmas! I would adore a restorative class focused around opening up the spine through the tool of a bolster. This was one of my favourite ways to slowly open, back when I was going to a studio.

Thanks for your consideration!

Greeting from the North! 🌲🏡🌲

Hey there Bloomers! I’m Devon. I live about 8 hours beyond the last road in Yellowknife Northwest Territories, where me and my partner live a subsistence lifestyle, wildcraft, & produce traditional dryfish. Before living here I was an an agriculturalist, yoga teacher, and textile arts educator. I absolutely love living where I do, & the depth of our immersion in the boreal forest. I’m still figuring out the balance to keep a healthy connection with the yoga community, my personal practice, and marry that allllll together with our lifestyle here. It is a beautiful project under continual creation. I’m recovering from multiple miscarriages, so I’m also negotiating a conversation of grieving, of love, & of acceptance with my body. I’m truly happy to be sharing this Vow to Bloom time with you all. Finding a community here is such a blessing. I added a few photos, over on the daily chat page, as a window on our life here. ❤️

Meghan! Would you share little tutorials but about yoga history?😀

I am grateful this day for the 'pistol party,' grateful for the reminders to be gentle and kind to me, to press, to focus/bcz energy flows where focus goes; that synchronicity is ease, flow, and allow because i am in alignment with my essence; much gratitude and love for this day 🥰  

honoring my vow to bloom, todays yoga practice resonated: encompassing the time of year (winter), cold days, winter snow fall, pulls me into contemplation, a request for ease, flow, and slowing, the listen for next steps, the feel into what wants to come forth; a pause; feeling yummy resonates with what has been bubbling up for me - in harmony.  Much gratitude for todays practice 🥰

Hey hey bloomers back in the saddle lovely watching from the sidelines just enjoyed a yummy spinal spa on lunch break 😽❤️

I would like flows with a lot of strength based elements. Not really having to be inversions or tricky poses, just things that really make me feel my muscles working.  I don't love lifting weights and I have found that given the right class I can get similar benefits from yoga.  I'm not really looking for gentle, but strength combined with a stretch to ease off after the hard work is great. I do like it when you give cues for how to make movements physically accessible or to increase the benefit or work. The classes 45 mins and under also work great in my schedule. 

Hi Meghan, I would love ❤️ a class where you break down flip dog to wheel. I am a bit on the stiffer end with my wheel but would love to one day be able to transition from the flipped dog or wild thing to a full wheel or at least work towards it. ☀️

thank you 

Hello dear bloomers,

Here I am, present, conciliating the delicate situation of my mom and this lovely vow to bloom.

So, playing the nurse and the gardener right now, at the same time and with the same care.

And as a player, leaving it all on the field.

Best wishes for a blissful 2025!

Loving you, Meghan x

I caught a cold but my book arrived so hey though my body was loving all the movement I will let my congested mind to get lost in the words and surrender with sweet meditations in my ears still blooming 

Love to all 🧡
