There are now one thousand of you awesome folks following Forever Body Yoga on Instagram.

But what does that actually mean?

When I started this journey of Yoga Teacher Life I knew social media (SocMed) presence was important.

SocMed has allowed me to share and connect with you.

We've talked about yoga, grief, body image, expectations, pelvic floor health, parenting, and of course cats & dogs.

We chatted from around the world which is just amazing.

You've joined to learn about yoga for the very first time, to support pain management, to help on your pregnancy journey, to improve anxiety, for postural alignment, and for postnatal reconnection.

You've supported me as I've challenged toxic positivity, the skinny bendy white yoga bodies of the pictures in the grids, the loss of my father, and most importantly creating community in London, Hertford & virtually.

You've shared personal experiences with me and supported me during challenging times with beautiful words of care & compassion.

You've allowed me into your world.

I can't say a lot of the above was listed as the benefits in the "Grow Your Audience" programs I signed up to when I started out. They generally focus on "10x your income ".

I haven't "10x my income" but I'm definitely 10x more connected to you and I think I make a difference in your day - that's what you've told me and I finally believe it.

Thank you for being a member of the one thousand and for your trust in me on your yoga journey.
