For this week, I am veering away from my website slightly because in the creation of my website and my research I have been inspired to create a poster using Canva to put up in my community offering one-on-one yoga classes or a yoga mentorship program on a sliding scale or for trade.

I typed this into ChatGPT to see if it could pull out the bits of into I should add:

I am a yoga teacher who wants to start offering one-on-one yoga classes. I want to make a poster to put up around my community. I am going to give a bunch of information and then can you take it all and write up some text that I would put onto my poster. I dont want the poster to have too much text, just enough to get the person looking at it interested. Here is my philosophy on yoga: Yoga isn’t just a practice for me; it’s a way of life, a profound path to uncovering the beauty and depth of each moment. My teaching philosophy is rooted in creating a space where individuals can arrive exactly as they are, shedding the layers of judgment and expectation to simply be present in their bodies and breath. In my classes, you’ll find a blend of playfulness and discipline, intuition and inquiry. I believe in the power of yoga to cultivate curiosity and awareness, offering a gateway to understanding the fluctuations of the mind and the habits that shape our lives. As your guide, I’m here to provide gentle encouragement and suggestions, allowing the practice itself to be the ultimate teacher. With a background in nature connection and somatic movement, I infuse elements of the natural world into our practice, whether it’s exploring the elements within us or flowing through sequences inspired by the rhythms of the earth. Each class is an invitation to dive deep, to explore the depths of your being. And here is just a bit more info: I trained at Vinyasa YogaShala Riskikesh, India in 2018 My focus tends to be rooted in the somatic experience of using the body and breath to guide the practitioner to the present moment. Curiosity, exploration, compassion, discipline tend to be other focuses that will be woven into most practices. There are no prerequisites. What I teach in yoga i What I teach under the umbrella of yoga include: the asana (postural practice), Breath practice, meditation, philosophy, and lifestyle. I want to attract all people of all ages. I want people to feel warm when they read the text.

This is what it gave me:

I sent this over to some yoga friends to see what they thought and only got one response so far. Their response was “😍😍😍”

I watched this video on Youtube to get some more information on how to create a poster.
