Cass Hanson Yoga

Hiiii! It's been AWHILE.

Even though I've been radio silent over here, we have the BEST, SWEETEST yoga group going and I couldn't be more grateful.

September is a month of major change - especially this year in my world. So I thought I would jump on here and let you know about a big change happening with this group....

After 4 years (!!) of Tuesday evening practice, we are moving to MONDAYS! 🛶

The live classes are now Mondays at 4:30pm CST - and if that time doesn't work, they are always recorded and accessible for a year afterwards 😎

Steady September Yoga Series starts tomorrow! And the theme:

CHANGE AND BALANCE.

It's a major work in progress over here, but yoga teaches us the tools.

If want to join us, it's a membership model for $27/ month - easy 3 click cancel whenever you want ❤

I am truly grateful for everyone in this community - so if you are reading this, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I love you so much and appreciate the support 🪻

Hope YOU have a wonderful steady, graceful, kind September 💫

Making things Easier.

That’s my 2023 word: Ease!

As I continued to asses this year, I realized it was too hard to do two yoga things well. I’m combining the On-demand platform with the Livestream classes so we can all win!

Details on the NEW Expand Connect Yoga Platform:

=> Community Price: $27 per month (the price will go up in 2024, FYI).

=> Subscription Pricing: Auto-renews each month. Hoping this easier on you as well! Also - cancel anytime with ease.

=> On-Demand Classes: Will go up right away! No more waiting for Cass to load them later 🙃

=> Livestream Classes: Will run on Tuesdays as they always have at 4:30pm CDT. You’ll Join from the Expand Connect page or Google Calendar invite (which will be updated each month).

=> Off-weeks: The next month’s classes will be listed at the turn of each month (and reflected in the Google calendar). There will be some weeks throughout the year without a livestream class.

=> Workshops: 2 minimum per year, included in the platform subscription.

=> Extra content: Not having to make a sign-up for class allows me to have pop-up livestream classes. Sometimes I would rather teach live than pre-record, and now I can with ease!

=> Longer On-Demand Classes: I’ve updated things so all pre-recorded Zoom classes will live on the platform for up to 6 months. That means you can find many more 60 minute classes on-demand.

=> Texts: There will be texts! All Subscribers have the option to receive weekly theme-related texts!

=> Themes: Those are not going away! I will convey the themes through the yoga classes (on-demand and livestream) and weekly texts. Once we get rolling I will have more time for a monthly theme-related email to all community members as well.

Thanks for joining in this community with me ❤

Here's to moving with ease through the rest of 2023 together ✨

A couple tips and tricks for easing into fall with a full plate:

🫁 5 minutes of breathing. Don’t complicate it. Set a timer, and stop where you are. Breath keeps you grounded, and smoothes out mental stress.

💤 Early to bed. I love late summer nights when the sun goes down past 8. That’s not now. So instead connect to the season and environment and make it a thing to go to bed early.

🍵 Tea instead of water. I’m not a huge tea lover. But on chilly transition days, drinking something warm instead of cold can shift your energy quick.

🌳 Longer walks. Add an extra block onto your walk to simply be on the earth, outdoors. This keeps you grounded any season.

🍁 Aannd join in Tuesday's FREE Falling into Ease Yoga Class - featured on the NEW Expand Connect Yoga Platform.

I hope you enjoy them ❤

I hope they ease any stress and strain you might be feeling in these last precious weeks of August, so you can clear space and have some fun ✨

You know what?

I don't like Spring 🥀

It's too soggy, damp, and long. It feels like a rollercoaster of winterspring while I desperately wish for SUMMER.

So, about 10 years ago I started teaching the Chakra Yoga series surrounding the Spring Equinox. And it helps! 💚

The grounding, heat, opening, intention and focus all help to move through spring with clarity and sweetness.

The 8-week yoga series begins next Tuesday, March 7th 🔥

And this year we're digging into physical structure.

I can't wait to move along this path with you and exit feeling ALIGNED in late April! ✨

Still easing into the year over here.

BUT I'm also excited to map out how I want the next 12 months to look.

Not only does Envisioning the year ahead help cement the direction I'd like to go. It also helps slow things down by giving time and space to little steps along the way.

The Envision Workshop is this Saturday, January 21st at 10:30am CDT.

We'll move, we'll dream and we'll write that s**t down.

Light. It. Up.

This yoga series is about pausing each week and celebrating your efforts and impact.

It is about digging deep on the hard weeks to find your bright light so that you can shine it out to others.

And it’s about celebrating on the easy weeks and sharing your ease and lightness out into the world.

After 2016, I brace for the worst on any election day.

BUT I can't help but feel positive because we HAVE to do better for the future generations...and I TRUST that YOU will VOTE to sustain democracy 👏

Let's face it, tomorrow is going to be full of emotion and anxiety.

That's why I'm teaching a FREE Yoga class for all voters at 6pm CST.

This month I'm serving up something different:

September Shake.

🔥 5 Days in a row.
🔥 30 Minutes to shake up your routine.

As we embark on a new month and a new season, I’m suggesting we interrupt places that need a shake-up and see what happens. Putting less expectation on the result and more emphasis on the moment.

This land is so special.

I can't wait to share with you 🌿🌼🌳

Dear friends,

We are thrilled to host a mini yoga retreat - Restore Balance - on Saturday, August 13th. I wanted to personally invite you to immerse yourself in a relaxing yoga session followed by a beautiful picnic in nature.

While growing up at Anaway Place, I always knew the surrounding land was special, not just to our family, but to the rest of the community. The county of Richland is true to its name - it is rich in rolling hills and vibrant color. No matter where I am located, I will always return to this land to reset my spirit and feel inspired.

During this mini-retreat, our special guest, Cass Hanson Yoga, will guide us through a gentle yoga class that will tap into the outdoor surroundings. Following yoga, we will nourish our body and soul with a provided picnic on the lawn of the barn.

I can't wait to share this experience with you. I have no double that you will leave feeling refreshed, balanced, and inspired to take on your next endeavor.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

-Katie
