Hey everyone, I’ve been exploring more ways we can create meaningful connection and impact within our alumni community, and I came across a beautiful retreat center in Costa Rica (recently ranked #1 by National Geographic). It sparked an idea: what if we created an alumni-only retreat where we come together to practice and share the Seven Doorways in our own unique styles? We could rotate teaching, offer special workshops, collaborate, create content, and really use the time to expand and support one another. The intention would be to keep this feeling intimate, collaborative, and community-led — more like a shared immersion than a traditional retreat. I’ve already reached out to the center and am waiting to learn more. I’d love to hear your thoughts and whether this is something you’d be interested in being part of. Big love, Jonah

Hey fam 🙏🏽 We’re building a really cool section on the Become a Yogi site to help people locate studios and teachers sharing the Seven Doorways method around the world. Can you comment the name of the studio + the city it’s located in? Even if it’s just where you personally teach! Hoping to gather at least 50–100 locations so we can start building a global map of the community 🌍

Didn’t have much time but got a little lighter volume in: Pause Squat 185x6 205x6 225x6 OHP 95x6 115 3x6

I’d love for us to get to know each other a little more deeply and recognize the different strengths and gifts already within this community. 💛 Share a little about yourself: ✨ Outside of yoga: What are some of your natural strengths, skills, experiences, or areas of expertise? ✨ Within yoga: What do you feel are your strengths as a teacher, student, facilitator, or space-holder? ✨ As a leader: What strengths do you bring when you’re guiding, supporting, mentoring, organizing, or working with others? ✨ Your area of expertise: If you were invited to be a guest teacher or speaker in someone else’s training, retreat, or mentorship program, what would you genuinely feel excited and qualified to teach? Maybe it’s anatomy, sequencing, philosophy, meditation, business, leadership, storytelling, music, community building, marketing—or something completely outside the traditional yoga box. Thinking of ways for us to collaborate, support one another, or call on someone within this community when a particular skill or area of expertise is needed. So don’t be too humble. This isn’t about ego. It’s about knowing what each of us brings to the table and recognizing how much wisdom, experience, and possibility already exists within the group.

For all my Instagram-savvy friends—what apps are you using to edit your videos and Reels? I’d love to know your favorites!
