ABOUT THIS OFFERING
My yoga teacher and friend, Anna Spalding, has just been diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer. It would mean the world to me if you could support this cause by attending this Movement Meditation class and donating to Anna’s GoFundMe page. 100% of proceeds from this class will go to supporting Anna.
If you have experienced my classes, you can bet you have probably felt a thread of what Anna has taught me (without even knowing it). Anna was my first yoga teacher when I started practicing in San Diego in 2011. She also ended up being on the staff of several amazing teachers who led my YTT. If it weren’t for Anna, I most definitely would not be the teacher (or person) I am today.
I met Anna on the precipice of a relatively dark time in my life. I immediately connected with her because we were both dancers and I could tell she just “got it.” She would always stay with me after class to chat or help me with my postures, save me a spot when her classes were booked out, and eventually I went on one of the most incredible yoga retreats led by her (where these photos are from). To this day, whenever I visit my mother in San Diego, I also visit Anna at her Encinitas studio, Evolve Yoga.
Apart from being a brilliant teacher inside of the classroom, Anna is an all-around amazing human being. The thing I always feel from Anna is a genuine, authentic embodiment of joy and playfulness, and she always makes sure everyone in her presence feels included and loved. It’s hard not to feel this way around her because the joy she radiates is that infectious. It feels only right that she is supported as she focuses on her health and healing during this time.
HOW TO SUPPORT
Attend the Movement Meditation yoga class I am hosting next week & donate. Please note this is donation-based, not free (even $5 makes a difference). If you can’t attend live but would like the recording, I am more than happy to send it to you. A Zoom link will be emailed on the day of the class.
If you can’t attend the class but want to donate out of the goodness of your heart, you visit Anna’s GoFundMe page right now and donate.
