Nicole Hensch Yoga

This week and next at Phoenix are my last public classes before surgery— hope to see you!!

If those times don’t work, let’s connect and do a small group class before 9/23 😝🙂

Friends, I committed to creating a newsletter... in 2021. Spoiler: it never happened.

If you know me, I am a littttttle bit of a procrastinator AND an over- thinker. So, here I am in 2024 humbly presenting you with my Substack. It is a newsletter/blog/virtual class hybrid that I am jazzed about. My first post goes live this evening. Thank you, Jessica Shelton for inspiring me to start one.

I hope you'll subscribe. There is a free version and a paid version. Free version will be more along the lines of schedule updates, announcements, typical newsletter *things*. The paid version will include more personal writing, playlists, virtual classes & down the road, I hope to offer subscribers discounts on select events.

Becoming a paid subscriber is also a super easy and low-cost way to support me during my surgery and recovery which will require me to take some time off from teaching

REMINDER: the grand finale of Riverside Park donation-based Yoga is TOMORROW (Thursday, 9/5) at 6pm. I hear *all* the time “I wish I had made it to an outdoor class!” Or “the season is done? I totally missed it!” So, don’t miss it 😝

THE SCOOP:
•Class is an all levels flow taught by myself & overlooking the river 🌳
•Donation-based (suggested donation of $5-15) via Venmo or cash

Public schedule this week- where will I see you??

I can’t believe we are nearing the end of July! 😝

Indoors or outdoors?! I have you covered this week!

Finally ready to share (even though most my close students know) that I am having hip surgery in September. I have been living:teaching:practicing with pain for the past 9 months. I have also spent a lot of time in those past 9 months frustrated, angry, defeated and ready to move through that and talk more openly about pain. I tried for many months to stick with non-invasive methodologies and even though there was some minor improvements, I was still was in pain regularly and had minimal range of motion in my hip. So, a few months ago I did X Rays/MRI and after a few consults with different orthopedic surgeons, have decided surgery is the answer since there are some structural issues with the hip that no amount of non-invasive methodologies can undo and want to avoid further damage. I feel really confident with the surgeon I’ve chosen.

To have this happen during my first full year of teaching has been a gut punch (physically:mentally:financially) but it has been incredibly insightful. I have modified my teaching and practice to navigate and work through/with pain. I have focused more on mobility. I have been spending more time listening.

I will be taking some time off in the Fall so let’s make the most of the summer ✌️

🇺🇸 it’s a holiday week so plan accordingly! Have a safe and happy Fourth of July, friends! 🇺🇸

We had a blast tonight for our first goat Yoga of the season! 😂

I ✨love✨ bringing Yoga into the workplace. I’ll be highlighting it a bit more over the next few days because I’m so passionate about it. I’ve taught in very small start-ups and large corporations. I’ve taught in marketing start-ups and scrap/recycle management company. Regardless what the environment is, I love seeing employees feel cared for and supported. Whether the focus is on stress relief and/or undoing the aches from sitting at a desk, Yoga in the is such a simple (& affordable) way to bring wellness into the workplace 🫶 Thanks for bringing me in after a staff meeting, Whitney!

I’ll be back from Florida tonight & fully recharged for a great week of classes! ☀️

Phoenix Training GR classes are beginner friendly & the most inclusive environment— sign up directly with them or happy to point you in the right direction!

I’ll hopefully be on a beach end of the week! No public classes this week. ☀️

I do have 2 more March events coming up—- check the comments to grab a spot in those 🫶
