Get Up & Go
This is going to be a great series! I'm calling this a "Positive Pop-up Series." Each session will be 10-15 minutes, we'll start with some positive quote or poem, and then get into some movement focused on energy, flexibility, strength and positivity! This is going to be a great way to start 2025...I hope you'll be part of it.
FAQs
What will we be doing each session?
Each session with start with a positive message: a poem, a quote, or something from a yoga text. Whatever it is, it's going to be uplifting. An energized practice focused on moving, stretching, and strengthening the body will follow. Each session will be unique.
Do I need to come to every session?
No. This series is about having a place to go each day to move and be positive. If you make it to each class, awesome. If you make it to one or two per week, awesome. Most importantly, the series is about starting the year feeling good and getting moving. How often you do that each week is up to you.
How do I know when the new classes are posted?
New classes are recorded each weekday. You will receive an email letting you know as soon as a class is posted.
Can I connect with you, John, and other people in the series?
Absolutely. Each video has a place to post comments to me, and also connect with other people in the series. Part of the joy of doing this, for me (and I hope for you) is knowing there are others doing it as well. We aren't alone. :-)
