February is the month of Valentine’s Day. We buy cards and roses and shower our loved ones with gifts and expressions of our heart. We give in the spirit of love. But February can also bring feelings of loss, or having missed out on the love that we wanted. Looking at social media, it’s easy to get caught up in comparison, and wishing we had something we don’t.

But what about Self Love? The Dalai Lama says that if you don’t love yourself, you cannot love others. I believe this, and would add that loving ourselves means knowing our own truth.

The Practice was created to address this. It is a journey into ourselves using feminine yoga, deep conversations, journaling, and meditation to connect to own heart’s desires. The Practice is a way to explore your inner truth and listen to the wisdom that lives in your own heart. It is way to get to know yourself, for real.

On February 11, join The Practice founder, Michelle Long, for a Self Love Retreat that will leave your heart full, satisfied, and knowing that you are loved.

Hi, I’m Michelle.
Founder of The Practice.

For 20 years I have been holding sacred space for women while building and leading feminine yoga and spiritual communities. I know that when women gather with intention, when we remember our true essence, and find the courage to live soul-aligned lives, we heal the world.

The Practice is my offering to the world, an effort to bring women together in sacred community, so that we all may rise.

This is a personal story about listening to my inner call and making a huge life change.

A reflection on 2020, living with chronic illness, and surviving the pandemic.

May community and sacred feminine sisterhood be the path towards healing and liberation.
