All good things come to an end…

YellowYogi — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 16:50:43 +0000

Dear Friends and Family,

YellowYogi is closed as of Monday April 1, 2013 (no, this is not an April Fool’s joke!)

I am committed to sharing my passion for yoga worldwide and standing for all being harmonious and divine. I have decided to refocus my energy and efforts towards teaching yoga, healing through reiki and leading international retreats.

Thank you does not begin to cover the gratitude and appreciation for all who visited, contributed and shared my mission to expand Victoria BC’s yoga community. I would not get to do what I love every day if it were not for you.

The YellowYogi Facebook Group will remain open for those who wish to continue to share their events, workshops, studio information, instructor profiles, as well as connect to other wonderful yogis.

If you’d like to stay updated on my upcoming retreats, tv segments and video blog on discovering your Effing Amazingness, please visit the links below:

With love, light and abundant gratitude.

Release Your Grief. Reclaim your Joy!

YellowYogi — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 02:51:19 +0000

Grief is a tricky thing. And, perhaps arguably even trickier in Western culture where it seems we are not only forced to move forward much faster than we may be ready; we are also not usually well equipped with the tools we need to do so. Even our closest friends are often awkward and at a loss for words when it comes to this topic.

And so (usually when no one is looking) we turn to the internet, hoping it might have something that will speak to us. What we find is some combination of the following:

“The Kubler-Ross Model”, “The Seven Stages of Grief” , “The Five Identities of Grievers”, and “The Four Stages of Mourning”

We might even find this helpful as we can now fit ourselves into a category (ie we are not alone), and, we can see glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel (as we move through the categories).

And, I agree. These categories are helpful. And, at the same time, I can see that they tend to only look at two facets that make up our body-being (the mental and emotional).

But, what about the rest of us? What about our physical body? Our energetic body? And, our spirit?

As we move through the stages of grief, we must look at and heal the whole person (on each layer of their being: physical, emotional, mental, energetic and soul). Not only will this serve accelerate the process, it will also serve to heal on a much deeper level. This is where true transformation happens. This is where you end up stepping into your true radiance and reclaiming your joy!

You see, grief is something that consumes the whole person on all five layers. And, even when you develop coping mechanisms (and you will) it can still be lurking just beneath the surface holding you back from being the amazing person you were meant to be.

This is why I have created this 3 hour workshop dedicated to educating you on practical, actionable (take-home) tools to facilitate the grieving process. Here, you will be held in a supportive and healing community of like-minded individuals going through their journey. I will be there as a guide to take you through your own transformative process.

Please share this event and invite your friends. And, be sure to visit my website at NickyCJones.com

Here, you will find more information and FREE resources so you can get started right away.
