Do you show up for YOU?

The last couple of weeks, as I've sat at my kids' sporting events, dance recitals and spring concerts, I've been overwhelmed by the extreme generosity of parents when it comes to their kids.

And it got me thinking of the ways we (even those of us without kids) invest so much of our time and money on others' happiness, success, and well-being. Whether we give our time and energy to the company we work for, a child, our parents, or even our furry friends… we are so much more likely to create room on the calendar and in the budget for others.

One study found that the average mother receives less than 20 minutes a day to spend on herself. What are we teaching our children who will maybe end up with children of their own someday? That at one point you stop pursuing your interests? That there's an expiration date on taking care of yourself or pursuing your dreams?

I have to remind myself DAILY that I'm a human too and that I'm setting a good example for my kids, friends, and family by going for the jog, taking the yoga class, waking up early to be alone with a good book.

And so now I'm just popping in to remind you that even as calendars fill up and the price of EVERYTHING rises, it's ok (and can I even say NECESSARY) to spend a little on yourself.

Prioritizing one hour a week just for YOU can feel like a mini vacation- whether that's an early morning walk alone, a massage, or splurging on those art lessons you've always wanted to take; YOU are worthy of the investment of time and money.

We are here to help. This summer at Jax, we're making all about YOU.

Our summer schedule offers 20 regular classes a week (both in person and online) for you to connect with your mind, body, breath, and like minded friends.

We cannot wait for the Jax summer traditions like courtyard classes and full moon yoga at the lake, and this year we are adding water with paddle board yoga classes on the lake and water yoga classes at the pool.

We have so many other events planned for you including a Yin + Pin yoga and acupuncture class, a “staycation” retreat day at Jax, and summer camps for your kids (with a free coffee at Elm City while your littles are getting their zen on). The full summer schedule will come out next week, and it starts June 6.

We can't wait to spend some time with you this summer!

Our monthly, annual and 6 month VIP members always get 20% off events. If you're not a member yet, this summer we are letting you try out the perks of our membership with no monthly commitment. Our summer pass is $250 and includes unlimited yoga June 1 thru August 13 PLUS 20% off events.

And if you can find just ONE hour a week for a yoga class - that's AMAZING! Our once a week membership is $45. For $45 and four hours a month, you can spend a little time on your mat, just for YOU.
