The Absence of Photos

Dear FitFam,
Wanted to take a minute to share: if you're going through a difficult time mentally then you may find @Samantha McDevitts yoga class to be quite powerful.
Further, today I realized that clients + AFS team members who attend Sams class aren't taking photos before/after sessions. The absence of photos feels even more powerful to me - as though there's community + individual introspection for that one hour, and then that hour in time has passed <3
Presently in my life, when I'm working, I'm spending a lot of time in solitude and at times that solitude can be taxing. Samantha's class reminds me that we are all carrying out our own individual purpose and to continually zero in on it. This song played last week in a session of hers and the lyrics resonate with me, especially leading into this holiday season.
Cheers to purpose and community,
Angela Johnson

Thanks for sharing this!
I agree @Angela Johnson, having started my yoga journey and a new self discovery it is amazing to me where my mind takes me in that class. To be only present in that moment, not thinking of any outside noise that may be going on in my life. To know that the practice is my own and no one else's. Living in this age of social media, sometimes it's great to detach from it and remember that I am more that what is happening online. I am me, and no photo can capture the true existence of who I am.

This a really lovely way to explain the peace that can come from yoga. Thanks for reminding my why I should give this class a try!
@Chris Early One hundred percent. So happy for you and the allowance you're giving yourself. Blue heart emoji in return ;-)
@Aimee Tinkham Big smile, and it would be a joy to see you in class!
