For months now, I’ve been getting up in the dark for our 5:45am RISE classes in Ipswich City.
There have been mornings when it has been very, very cold, very, very dark and very, very early!
Mornings when I’ve wondered whether people would actually get out of bed and come and practice with me.
Honestly, there have been weeks when the numbers have been hard.
I know how difficult it can be to leave a warm bed at 5am. I know life is busy. I know winter makes it even harder.
But here’s the thing…
I love these mornings 💚
I love the quietness of practicing as the world is still waking up.
I love watching the first light arrive through the windows (so beautiful)
I love the little community that has formed around these early mornings.
And I love that we begin the day by choosing to pause, breathe, move and come back to ourselves.
Now, as we begin to feel the first little signs of spring, I’m feeling hopeful.
If you’ve been thinking about coming to RISE… this is your invitation.
You don’t need to be flexible.
You don’t need to be experienced.
You don’t need to know what you’re doing.
Come once. Come regularly. Bring a friend. Tell someone about the class. Share this post and let others know if that feels right for you.
Every person who rolls out their mat helps make these beautiful early mornings sustainable.
And perhaps this spring can be about more than just the season changing -
Perhaps it can be about rising together (see what I did there 😏)
I’d love to see you on the mat. 🤍
