Sober Girls Yoga A Note from the Editor

When I look back on the past three-four years, I get so nostalgic. There's generations of people that have come and gone through this community. There's teachers and students. And then there's people that have stuck around through it all and been a constant. (Yasir, my mom, Laura Naylor...to name a few!)

Each part of the journey has felt defined by a different focus, theme, or energy. Different people have made up each part of the story.

At times, I've found it difficult to let certain aspects or certain people go.

As we approach our third anniversary, I'm beginning to understand. In Yoga Sutra 4.14, Pantanjali writes, Parinama Ikatvat Vastu Tattvam, or "Everything is composed by change." That is the nature of life. Everything is impermanent.

We had the era of lockdown yoga - everyone on Zoom all day, 24/7. Then we had an evolving era - in and out of lockdowns, and sobriety. The lockdowns began to lift and we had the era of our first International retreats around the world - from the UAE, to Bali, to Mexico. And now, we're here - about to embark on our biggest journey yet!

I still can't tell you what it is - it's a secret. I just don't want to jinx it (until it happens!)

You'll find out right around our third year anniversary. Stay tuned.

I want to thank you all so much for supporting our growth along the way. It's because of all of you we're even here - writing this magazine, running these international retreats, and changing lives around the world. So thank YOU for being here.

I can't wait for you to discover what our next big adventure is!

Love and hugs, Alex
