Yoga & Business in Quarantine
As many of us who are grappling with these weird times, I have continued to find solace in both teaching yoga, practicing yoga, and finding gratitude for this business and platform to inspired and lift others up.
The coronavirus has presented many issues for the business end of Mind Over Lather. I have not been able to have my usual help in to mass produce bottles. Demand has been sky high due to more and more people practicing at home. The supply chain issues have deeply impacted the ability to fulfill orders as spray nozzles are sold out and/or back ordered until September! Spray nozzles are being used for hand santizers hence the troubles! I have been doing my best to source what I can and get prouct out the door. I’ve also been trying to encourage people to buy half gallon or full jugs to refill what they have. At the same time our wholesale business to brick and mortar studios and boutiques is obviously non existant which if anything makes me sad. I appreciate everyones patience through this.
In the meantime, I have found that teaching yoga via Zoom at the local studio I teach at (Toledo Yoga – Check it out! Their classes are amazing!) has given me such great purpose and connection through this pandemic. To be able to do what I love and still be with friends and community memebers has made my days! In addition, taking classes with other teachers who don’t leave near me have been amazing! I absolultey love ignoring my children to take a Bryan Kest class at noon. Sundays with Leslie Chapman at Toledo yoga where my husband can join and we don’t need to worry about a babysitter has been a blessing! Monday nights with Tammy Lyons at Innerbliss made me feel like I’m in my 30s again. Digging deep with Marni Task (who I did my 200hr YTT with) has brought up tears of joy.
If you haven’t already -Practice! Practice like your life depends on it because it really does Even if it’s just a few sun salutations. A few moments sitting in stillness creating space and clarity in the mind. Moving and feeling through every part of your body in every plane of motion to ground yourself in this LIFE. In this present MOMENT. Movement is medicine for the body and soul.
Namaste!
