Michelle here.

Because I know what it's like to feel alone... in a marriage, in a diagnosis, in healing (which is usually preceded by an unraveling)...

I wanted to tell you a little more about myself.

One of the big selling points of yoga is that it can make you feel
better.

This is evidenced by the messaging of many "yoga ads" I see
online:

- You're only one class away from a good mood.
- Every breath is an opportunity to feel better.
- 8 poses to make you feel better.

I recently heard the idea that life is 50/50 – that 50% of the time you will want the things that are happening, the things you call good. The other 50% can range from a mild dislike to the deepest devastation and despair.

Like many people, at the end of every year, I do a general review of how things have gone the past 12 months and some dreaming and scheming for the coming seasons.

This has been especially helpful in business -- assessing what programs and events were well received, which did not go over so hot and what new things I want to create.
