12 Week New Year Yoga Challenge

With Live Music

is On!

Welcome to Step 1.1 of the Challenge – Getting Your Feet on the Ground

Dear Ones,

Congratulations to those of you who threw your hat over the fence to take on a new year commitment to wellness with the 12 Week Challenge.  Here’s how you can approach Step 1 (starting this week!) of the Six Steps to Growing on Purpose that we will be covering over the course of the New Year session.
In class we will be focussing on each Step for two weeks, so that you’ve got lots of time to contemplate, practice and implement the life strategies.
Foundation Building
It’s so basic, but not that easy to remember, as you make your new year changes – include a plan to stand solidly, strongly and on purpose as the foundation for any life transformation.
What is the basis for a transformation and why do we tend to jump without looking to see what’s there in the way of support?  Or worse, why do we stand at the back and just watch, never finding out how to have the joy of leaping?
If the very ground of our efforts to grow is root-friendly, it can literally be built upon and serve a greater connectedness among us, then it can be far reaching in its benefit to the greater good.
In the next two classes you can contemplate:

The Simple Act of Grounding..is a Boost to Self-Esteem

Becoming truly embodied, means first to be located within your own flesh and blood, right down to the cellular and DNA level. This is a first step towards creating:
1.  Self-confidence
2.  Self-esteem
3.  Spiritual Strength
It sounds simple, but it’s not easy!

Because we live day after day, and wake up, as if, the same person, it is easy to miss the very fabric of how life connects itself to the form of a body, mind & heart. 

Your body is the doorway to basic self confidence and esteem, because it is life itself that gives us these basic qualities.

AND A REMINDER OF WHAT’S COMING UP JANUARY 29!

The Three Secrets of Keeping Self-Care Promises to Yourself

AND to share with your friends who would like to have a risk-free opportunity to get to know me and some valuable insights about using yoga to stay on track with innermost desires, I’m offering this guidance, starting with a Free Teles-eminar Yoga Training.

Sign Up for the Free Tele-Seminar January 29

So you can Take a Stand that Sticks; Worry Less and Adapt More;  Shift to a Self-Spa Lifestyle Health Plan that includes improving the quality of your sleep, as one of five strategies to come over the year as free online training that can be downloaded for 30 days post events, or attended LIVE TIME on January 29 & April 1 to start.

Life has very often asked me for less-than-relaxing opportunities to adapt.  And at some point I learned to stop “falling,” and began to experience more buoyancy, more weightlessness & fluidity- like nothing could actually take me down. Every time “I” rise to the surface it becomes easier to remember that that is happening, even if in slow motion.
In my best moments I realize the play of this.  And it opens me to the vulnerability about and gratitude for all that it is to be alive and human for each one of us.  This makes me hug closely with love the yoga that always makes its way into my daily living ritual.
And I wish that for you as well.

Here’s some dates you’ll want to put on your calendar for the new year:

January 16 – First week of the 12 Week Yoga Challenge

January 29 – FREE New Year Online Yoga Training:  Three Secrets for Keeping Resolution Promises to Yourself

Sending with a wish for simple ease in your new year,
Beth

What’s New?  Sneak Preview of Yoga and Kirtan Parties!  And Sacred Ceremony Music..

Live Music Party Time with Your Tribe

I’ve given birth to three new ways I offer love back to my community, in honour of what I have been given.
Are you tired of getting together with really great people and having no clear focus despite HUGE potential?  Are you planning events by rote and need something fresh and new to bring a group truly together?

Imagine doing sacred yoga gatherings with your own best friends and family instead of a bunch of strangers?
1) Yoga Cream Pie Parties:
Do you and five of your best friends want to get a fully loaded Yoga Cream Pie Party experience delivered to your own house?*


The host of the event who gathers and organizes gets to participate for free and will get extra free goodie bag bonuses.  More details to follow.

2) Kirtan Parties
And for you and 15 of your tribe you can get your own private Kirtan Mantra & Live Music Party!!*

The host of the event who gathers and organizes gets to participate for free and will get extra free goodie bag bonuses.  More details to follow.

3) Sacred Ceremonies

Do you want to mark the occasion with something a little deeper than a DJ? Want your guests to dance, but not to something that means nothing to you?  Are you making a huge transition and would like to have it equalled in beauty? Here’s a recent testimonial from a wedding:


Hire Beth for your wedding or special event and the angels will join you there.

You will not find anyone else who can add an all-inclusive spiritual flavour to your event like Beth can. Her voice is fully beautiful, and combined with her guitar, it will send shivers up your guests’ spines.  Beth will also do whatever she can to ensure things will work smoothly on your special day. She has written much of her own music which is lovely and meaningful all at once, and she will work with you in a peaceful way, adding to the serenity of it all.

If you want to add something special and different to your event, I strongly encourage you to check out Beth and what she has to offer. She performed for our wedding and her sincerely enriched our day and set the tone for lots more wonderful to come.

~Kristi Baily

*Email me with inquires marked, SACRED PARTIES FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY.  Can include officiant services as well.

Sending all a kind namaste,
Beth

Live Kirtan Is Coming To Moshka Yoga Winnipeg

Breaking news is in! Moksha Yoga Winnipeg is going to host a regular live kirtan concert every second Saturday in their Winnipeg, Donald Street location where I have been playing for their live music (hot!) yoga classes.

All the dates are….

Now in addition to using Hollow Reed Holistic as a kirtan hub, now Moksha will be giving kirtan in Winnipeg it’s next big injection of kickass energy and righteous vibes, amen.

Personally speaking, I have always avoided the big and popular thing, which Moksha Yoga has been in Winnipeg since it took off some years not that far back.  Now they are nearly three locations strong, international and inspiring others to branch out.

But I’ve completely changed my mind and decided that if I got completely assimilated by Moksha Yoga, I’m o.k. with that, what a force, I can dig it!

I love meeting people that can take a huge risk in the service of others’ well-being and allowing their life to turn into the chaotic scene that running any business is, and the joy and bliss of sacred practices that are bringing this community alive, as are every great studio in this city.

I am loving the vibe of so many people in Winnipeg these days and feel like a thin veil of separation or disconnect has fallen, and there’s a growing inclination towards community.

That’s why it’s so important for us to actually get together….oh my Goddess: and in my opinion, sing, chant our brains out to beautiful sanskrit mantras that have become extremely powerful over sometimes thousands of years repetition.  We do have the power as a species for peace, but we do not yet have the intelligence or soul… the soul is rather damaged, disconnected, neglected, abandoned, sloughed off and in need of care.

Kirtan is a great way to care for yourself, because you give yourself joy, a chance to chant and get the invisible joy that is in you, to manifest into awesome glory.

This is a concert event, but fully interactive, from beginning to end you are engaged in the process of creating a completely spontaneous eruption, driven I swear by the mantras and the bliss alone.  I swear I’ve never been happier than singing kirtan, and surprisingly more so each time.

Musicians are coming forward one by one like kirtan soldiers showing up for their service,,,hmm wierd analogy, breakdown…getting late, happy for blogs, even though I have yet to alert a single person to the existence of this blog and the 65 million other things that I will eventually catch up with, or it will catch up with me and sit me down for a quiet tea.

The kirtan end, the kirtan beginning and the kirtan becoming…all one.

Kind love and
