We're renovating the rental property. Weekends have been 100% physical. The yard at home is coming to life, so I'm trimming, filling planters and yanking out weeds that keep coming back.
My back is the loudest. Tight from lifting, bending, reaching, painting.
I've been leaning into my props this week. Not for class. Just to stay workable until the work is done. I wrote about them here:
Float Into Release — Thursday, May 28, 6pm. 90 minutes of aerial yoga blended with myofascial release. For when your body needs more than stretching. One spot left.
Float Into Summer — Friday, June 19, 6:30pm. Two hours of flowy aerial yoga, essential oils, breathwork, extended floating savasana, and a closing herbal tea ritual. Three spots left.
In each newsletter I share a quote, reference or research — something that has shaped how I think and/or teach.
Yesterday I met with a professional in the health and wellness space. We were chatting (and agreeing) about so many things when she suddenly pointed to a book on her shelf and asked me if I was familiar with it.

Oh yes. I've read it. And I told her I intend to read it again. She said, "Same."
The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer is about the voice in your head — the one that worries, judges, replays. Singer's whole project: that voice isn't you. The awareness behind it is.
Here's a line I keep coming back to:
"The only permanent solution to your problems is to go inside and let go of the part of you that seems to have so many problems with reality."
Bodies are easier to train than minds. A few props, a few minutes — the body typically responds. The mind . . . it doesn't always yield. It runs commentary on the things we can't fix. Mine has been chewing on the same ongoing debates at work. Problems we see clearly. Solutions that need resources we don't have. My colleagues and I look at each other across all of it. Nothing changes.
That's where Singer's line catches me. The reality doesn't change . . . but
Practical tools for finding balance in a full life. A weekly newsletter on breath, rest, movement, and attention. Real & direct, no fluff. One practice I'm teaching that week. One quote, reference, or piece of research that's shaping how I think. I run a private aerial yoga studio in West Omaha while working full-time in corporate. Both inform what I teach. Curated wellness events are offered in my boutique studio. My Website: www.jerilynfrisbie.com
