Help Celeste keep her Yoga studio alive

Teen Yoga

Restorative Yoga

Hi, my name is Celeste and I am seeking support to keep my yoga studio operating to provide the nature sanctuary, and mental health support it provides for its community.

The folks who come to the studio are all shapes, sizes, abilities, ages, and stages. Some are highly motivated, others are the potato that got off the couch! Everyone comes for classes that are intimate, fun, and educational. Most importantly, they know they will be seen. Classes are both in studio and online. For those that attend online live streaming classes and workshops, they know they can reach out for support before and after class, just like being in the studio.
Students feel cared for, reduce anxiety, get pregnant (fertility yoga) and laugh when the giggles are alluding them. Many of the participants come to alleviate back pain, to recover after surgery, divorce, and the isolation of modern living.  Others come for the laughs, the hands-on adjustments and to get fit and mobile. The view of the ravine valley opens people’s minds and fosters their connection to nature and a return their own natural Self.

The funds will be used to:

·      recoup (a tiny portion) of the loss of income from the forced closure (due to COVID-19) of the studio since April 2020 until present day. 
·      to add to the You Tube video library for you, the donator, and studio members to continue offering instruction with special emphasis on Yoga for anxiety, depression and how to stay motivated to move.
·      recoup the cost of video equipment including lighting and camera, purchased for the studio to film online classes which were offered in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic and will be continuing in the future.
·      develop new website, digital marketing, and other operational costs.
·      develop podcasts for you the donator, and studio members.
(I have not broken down the specific costs as they surpass the amount requested.)

 Who will benefit: 

·      Everyone who wishes to enrol in classes/sessions either online or in the studio.
·     Those needing free online classes to curb anxiety
·      Youth and adults experiencing anxiety, depression and other mental challenges.
·      Folks needing support to feel INSPIRED. 
·      (What does it look/feel like to be inspired?  (I’m so glad you asked.)  Inspiration feels like the actions in your life are leading somewhere.  You feel connected, like you matter, and that you can adapt.  Life feels meaningful, safe and you want to meet each moment.)
·      Podcast listeners, You Tube viewers will find inspiration through yoga, exercise and inspirational support to feel whole and embodied.

You will receive for donating:
·       My e-book The Intelligent Body, which I published in 2018. 

What this  support means to me:
When you donate I will have the opportunity to hold space for individuals who are seeking assistance to get from where they are to where they wish to be. Whether this be cognitively, physically, socially or emotionally.

 For me , this is my daily purpose which constantly resonates in my heart and mind.

The funds are needed right now!  

I will be so grateful to continue providing the inspiration we so strongly need as a society, and as a people, especially in the face of this COVID-19 pandemic.
