Inner Luminary Yoga

Finding joy in the little things. Life has so many ups and downs. We spend so much time waiting for the next happy moment, exciting thing, big surprise. But learning to find joy in your daily life will help you realize we don’t need to wait for big moments as much as we need to find the little ones. Our first emotion series is posted.

ILY Yogi,

I just wanted to send you a thank you for being part of my community. When I started this Patreon I wasn't sure what I wanted to fully do with it, and I'm thankful for the space it is becoming.

I think we can all agree that the world feels a little too overwhelming right now. News happens so quickly, and our bodies are taking on so many emotions without us fully acknowledging them. That brings to me to my point. I've decided to make this Patreon my safe space. The space to go to when things start to feel like life is caving in around you. The space that reminds you that you aren't doing this alone. A space you can process the emotions of our daily lives. This new chapter will include encouraging notes from me throughout the month, and a fun series focusing on different emotions.

I hope you're as excited about this as I am, because the world still has so much good. Lets collectively take the time away from the noise and root into our yoga practice.

Again, thank you all for being here.

XOXO

Molly

Every season has its own juggling act. Take time each day for you. Even if it’s noticing your breath while you’re driving, or grounding your feet while you’re in the yard with family. Find your balance. 🤟🏼

The calm you carry on and off the mat is the best gift you can give yourself. Join my Patreon subscription and have access to unlimited classes for $20 a month. 🤟🏼

The thing I repeat the most in class is easily “notice how you feel”. It is so easy to ignore what our bodies are telling us. We are conditioned to ignore and push away our feelings. Take some time daily and just check-in with your body. Notice how you feel. Listen to what you need. You can also join my Patreon subscription for only $20 and receive unlimited access to my yoga classes! 🤟🏼

Unlimited yoga classes for only $20 a month! You can join my Patreon subscription at any time and enjoy classes based on your own schedule/ time frame. Props are always offered and encouraged to use throughout the class. As a teacher, I do my best to bring kindness to the mat and leave shame behind. I avoid body shaming, food guilt and other negative mindsets, which is why every class is a shame-free flow. Yoga is for EVERY body and I hope you join my class to find what works for you.

Not every yoga journey looks the same. There can be a lot of suggestions on which way to take, but at the end of the day, you know what’s best for your body. Trust your process ✌🏼

We can let shame and guilt guide us through our days; “I shouldn’t eat that” or “I should take the stairs instead of the elevator”. What if you took guilt or shame out of the equation when it came to your yoga practice? What if you adjusted your internal conversation that guilts you for not doing yoga that day, and acknowledge that yoga doesn’t have to look the same every day. You can practice on and off your mat. You can connect with your breath wherever you are, and you can check in with how your body is feeling throughout the day. Bring kindness and compassion to yourself each day, and let go of the guilt/shame that judges you if you don’t get on your yoga mat every single day. 🤟🏼

Confessions from a yoga teacher: I don’t get on my yoga mat everyday and that’s okay. I’m telling you this because it’s easy to mentally beat ourselves up when we think we “should” be doing it all. We constantly have people online telling us the fix to every problem lies in doing MORE, when in reality, doing what you can looks different each day. Shaming yourself into doing is the opposite of helpful. Be gentle with yourself. There is so much happening in our lives and each day might require something different of you. Each day we can do the best we have and that is enough ✌🏼

It was such a fun session with the SJC MOMS GROUP! 🤟🏼

Thank you Molly Burke Inner Luminary Yoga for coming out to lead us moms (and a few little ones) in some yoga today! Hard to believe we only have 3 more groups left for this year. Interested in joining when we start up again in September 2024? Message us to learn more!

One of my favorite things about yoga is bringing my practice off my mat. You can find your breath, listen to your body, and connect with yourself anywhere ✌🏼

Intro to chair yoga has been added to my Patreon page! If your mobility is limited, getting on the floor is difficult, or you’re just interested in trying, chair yoga is for you! I will be adding more videos for my subscribers to enjoy, as well as all the other content posted on my page for only $20 a month! Sign-up at anytime at: Patreon.com/innerluminaryyoga

When Sherman was a puppy, I encouraged him to sit on my lap when I was on the floor. Seven years later, I still reap the benefits 😂 The point is, you don’t have to have a quiet and perfect place in your home to practice yoga. You can have your home participate with you, and let that add to your practice. 🤟🏼✌🏼

Listen to how you talk to yourself 💗

It’s officially launched! You can subscribe to my Patreon and enjoy classes on your own schedule & in the comfort of your own home!

I will be teaching at Barker Central School through their Community Ed classes, which start Jan. 18th! The classes will be created with every body in mind, so if you’re new to yoga, or your been practicing for years, everyone will have a place on the mat. You can sign-up by going to the Barker Central School website and click the Community Ed tab. I hope to see you there 🤟🏼

This gentle reminder as we head into the holiday season. Thinking we can control situations is an illusion, but we can control how we show up emotionally during those situations. Set the boundaries before you join the space ✌🏼 I’m still on my Holiday pause from classes but I’m working on something special, so stay tuned!
