We’re pausing, Finding our new center, and Listening

Dear Happy Body Family, 

The time has come for us to take a pause. Lots of discernment has gone into our current decision to pause in our normal ways of doing business, but we are hearing the global pull towards safety and health. We are choosing to use this time to pause, find our new center, and listen to the possibilities that may emerge from a place we’ve never traversed before. 

I woke up wondering if the time we are in is global, full system neuroplasticity in motion. If you’ve been a regular at Happy Body, you know that our job and passion is supporting you in changing patterns. By changing the way we move, breathe, pay attention, listen, connect, and engage, we change who we are. We gain capacity for resilience, for evolution, for regulating with ease. We are in a time of reorienting to a new center. Just as our bodies and brains must find a new center when the terrain under our feet changes, it feels like a moment when our Earth is finding her new center and expanding her neural pathways. 

For me, it is easy to get frustrated, angry, exhausted, and feel powerless when my body is changing a pattern. The struggle is ever present and I can’t get my bearings. I am learning, though, that these are the moments to pause, find my center, and listen. This is our moment to do just that. I can feel myself wanting to skip too quickly to the next step of awe and wonder at what will manifest, though. That’s my pattern! So, I’m having to practice again--dropping back in and taking a restful pause. To listen. To wait. To create space and honor the time needed for change to happen. 

Happy Body will be taking our pause from Wednesday, 3/18-Sunday, 3/29. All classes and workshops will be canceled during this time. We are working on some online classes options coming soon and online private sessions are available now! Please let us know if you’d like to take advantage of those. You’ll hear from us again by Friday, 3/27 (if not before) to discern the next steps forward, as we collectively move through this new journey together.

If you have classes or private sessions scheduled over the next 10 days, please send us a quick email to info@ashevillehappybody.com so we can know you received the new information. 

All of us at Happy Body are sending you much health and wellness in the weeks and months ahead. New possibilities are on the horizon. Be reminded that we are here if/when you need us. We are grateful for you! 

Wide love,

Jessica
