This episode was a true full-circle moment (with some tears, too!). We met Janesa Velazquez (she/her) back in 2020, right as she was planting the seeds for what became her online yoga space, Little House of Yoga. In this conversation, we got to hear about her journey of being a young parent, healing, teaching herself web design, and now co-creating Ambry Yoga & Meditation, a brick-and-mortar studio coming this spring to Long Island.

As a yoga guide, Janesa lovingly supports practitioners in getting reacquainted with the best parts of themselves. She believes that our own peace and liberation is inherently interconnected with that of all beings — that to care for others is to care for ourselves, and tending to our own care extrapolates out into the world.

Tune in to hear us talk about...

- Ways that Janesa has given herself permission to take up space and move forward, one baby step at a time

- Her “oh, shit, I’m an entrepreneur” moment, and how she leans into her Manifesting Generator human design to make things happen

- How Janesa and her business partner are intentionally creating their new yoga studio with community, equity, and justice at the center of it, including in how they work together

- The temporary nature of everything, including life feeling “in alignment,” and how we can enjoy what’s present right now

- Janesa’s philosophy on the beauty of an “ordinary” life, and the gifts of allowing the path to unfold in its own time

…and more!
