A year ago TODAY my wee family took a train from Paris to Nice to check out what would be our home for the next year. During this year, I have fallen in love with France and specifically Nice. I’ve loved learning and refining my French, I’ve soaked up the culture, I've made wonderful friends, and of course reveled in the incredible pastries, bread, cheeses, and wine. The motto for France has to be “Liberté, Egalité, and Gluten!”
But as we all know there are seasons for everything and Sen and I have decided that our season in France is coming to a close and so we've decided to move back to Salt Lake City. Coming back to Salt Lake City will be the beginning of a new and exiting chapter for us.
One of the biggest reasons for us coming back to Salt Lake City is to help launch Seneca's new business, an endeavor for which she's been studying and preparing over the past year. I'm really proud of the work she's been doing and will do and can't wait to tell you more about it. We are planning some fun and exciting ways in which we can even work together. But more about that later . . .
Another thing that will be different is that I'll be doing more traveling to work. Since I've moved away from Salt Lake City, I've been focused on building more of a global audience and that's paid off in some exciting ways. I already have plans for teaching workshops and trainings in different cities around the world, including New York and Hong Kong!
We will be arriving in mid-January. And while we never know what plans the Universe has for us next, we are nonetheless planning to stay in Salt Lake City for a few years.
I’m thrilled to be able to pick up classes again at 21st Yoga, to be offering workshops, and trainings, and to be working one on one with clients again. This year in France, and our time in New York before that, has been illuminating and wonderful and we will also be excited to come back to our community in Salt Lake City. We left Salt Lake City in June of 2017 and it will be nice to call it home again.
We will be visiting France next year to share with you my Bordeaux Yoga Retreat, June 13–19. If you’d like to see what I’ve been able to discover over this past year, I’d be honored to be your guide. This will be six days of savoring your life with yoga, wine, and presence, all while staying at an incredibly luxurious château.
My new book about Yoga Nidra dropped about a week ago and I’ve been so immensely touched by the response. Thank you with all my heart. I’m planning on having a Yoga Nidra and book signing event in Salt Lake City when I get back—a moment when we can practice some deeply needed Yoga Nidra, perhaps I will read an excerpt or two from my book, and maybe we can raise a celebratory glass of something afterwards. I’d be deeply honored if you could join me and of course I’ll provide information for that as it develops.
Over the next few days, I’ll send some more information about some exciting events I've been working hard on, namely my 31-Day Meditation Challenge starting January 1, as well as my Yoga Nidra with Scott Moore Volume 1, a series of Yoga Nidra recordings, but for today I want to let you know of a very special event I’m planning for TOMORROW with an incredible teacher, Rachel Posner: De-Stress For The Holidays
Together, Rachel and I are co-hosting a live, online event that will help you to de-stress from the holidays. Rachel is an incredible teacher and together we are going to offer some discussion about how we can manifest exactly the kinds of feelings we want for the holidays. Then we will put it into practice with some engaging breathwork, poses, meditations, and journaling. This is happening on Tuesday, December 17th at 9 am MST. You can join us from anywhere in the world. but we’ll be recording it so you can watch it later if you can’t make the exact time work. Plus, we’ll give you some take home materials including some meditations and other resources to help you be your best for the holidays. It costs $20 and you can register at my website, scottmooreyoga.com or by clicking the button either on my email or blog post, depending on where you’re reading or listening to this.
If you like the idea of catching up with live and online, I’ve also been hosting my live, online Yoga Nidra classes on Sundays at 9 am MST and I’ve really loved hosting those. We’ve had some great conversations and some excellent practices using Yoga Nidra to help us with all kinds of things from sleep, to stress, to connecting to our hearts. This week we will be focusing on giving the best gift possible for the holidays which is a stress-free version of yourself to all those who are privileged enough to be in your proximity.
Again, we have loved being in France but we will also be coming back to Salt Lake City to be close to family, friends and our community, and this of course includes you
Thank you for your wonderful support. I hope to see you tomorrow in my live, online workshop with Rachel
