Unfold News: July 2021
Welcome to Unfold News, a personal + professional update from our heart to yours. Our intention is to help you feel connected to our community and inspired to prioritize your wellbeing. Thanks for reading!
Personal Update:
Did you know that both Katie + Nicole were pregnant and gave birth during this crazy pandemic? After working remotely via zoom for over a year while navigating two maternity leaves, we FINALLY got to be together IRL and meet each others' babies (pic above)!
Katie's daughter, Piper, and Nicole's (third!) son, Nathan, are keeping their mommas on their toes as they balance work and family. It was so wonderful to reunite as friends and mothers. We're excited to keep sharing with you how we truly LIVE our yoga.
Keep an eye out for our Note's From Katie + Nicole where we dig deep to share our most authentic stories. If you missed the last Note From Katie about "not knowing", check it out here.
We're Excited About...
Last spring we tested a new digital offering called Virtual Wellbeing Box: Destress At Your Desk. We had over 150 participants! It was well received - 95% said they would recommend it to a friend. We've decided to make it a permanent offering - check it out.
Right now, this program is for groups of employees, funded by their company at one flat rate for unlimited participants. Email us for more details or forward this email to your company's HR manager.
Here's what one client had to say:
"Our staff have spent the pandemic working from kitchen tables, couches, and home office desks away from the usual office set-up. Compounded with stress and anxiety, a raft of physical ailments from poor ergonomics are the reason we offered De-Stress At Your Desk. It was well-received by all and highly recommend for a variety of reasons. BEST PROGRAM we have offered."
