A Soft Beginning: 50% Off Annual Strala Memberships & Online Trainings
Good morning from rural Illinois.
It's Monday morning here, and after heading outside to check on the sunflowers, I spent a good portion of my morning responding to emails from lovely people sharing their experiences in life and how softness is helping them through all sorts of challenges, from caregiving and body image struggles to exhaustion and so much more. After a few decades of learning, practicing, and sharing together, the biggest thing I've learned is that we gain so much by sharing our stories with each other. Feeling seen, heard, and listened to, while also seeing, hearing, and listening to others, is such a powerful ingredient in our wellbeing.
Our practices of softness, yoga, tai chi, shiatsu, guiding, and everything else we share can really soak into us when we take that first step of mobilizing, softening, and becoming moveable so we can be moved by our breath, our ideas, and each other. We don't need to have all the answers. We simply need to show up with a willingness to connect, to care, and to keep practicing together. That's where so much healing begins.
One way we can keep making this community accessible is with our annual summer sale, helping make it a little easier to take good care of yourself every day, or at least whenever you can make a moment.
From now until Sunday, August 9, you can take 50% off a Strala Annual Membership (or switch your current membership to the annual plan). If you already have a great rate, you're all set. We don't like raising rates on people. We'd much rather keep things sustainable by welcoming more wonderful people into our community.
Use the code SUMMER26 for 50% off an Annual Membership.
Use the code SOFTEN26 for 50% off our Online Intensives, including my favorites: The Art of Sequencing, 100+ Hour Shiatsu, 30+ Hour Healing and Teaching Support for Trauma, and more.
The discount codes work on the web version of stralahome.com. You can practice there or in the app, but the app doesn't support discount codes, so be sure to sign up through the website first.
It's probably a little corny, but I'm genuinely so grateful for what feels like this big circle of community we have together. We get to hold hands across the world, share our stories, support each other, and practice together. I always think of that old Coke commercial from the '70s with people from all over the world standing together and singing. It reminds me that we're all connected in ways that matter far more than we sometimes realize.
Thank you for being here. I hope you make a little space to soften today, include yourself in your own care, and let that ease ripple out into everyone around you.
With love,
Tara
