A win i would like to share, now that I am home from the desert and had time to reflect on the new launch. In this first image, Kyle took a photo of me at a scary point in the relaunch journey. I was a bit of a mess 😅, laundry overflowing, overwhelm taking over. I truly felt like there was no possible way I could do this. I couldn’t see the path forward. What if this was an epic failure and I disappointed everyone? What if I made the wrong decision? Cut to me in Joshua Tree post launch feeling so fucking JOYOUS. Not only were my efforts seen and appreciated by you all, but the result feels so much better than my wildest dreams. And it reminded me of our butterfly image. When Julia surprised me with the butterfly icon I was in awe. It felt so perfectly imperfectly true to us. We are constantly cycling through each stage, egg, larva, pupa, adult butterfly. And then the butterfly lays another egg and the cycle repeats. This cycle can be especially scary during the goo stage just before the butterfly takes form. The caterpillar produces enzymes that digest their own body into formless goo. Without knowing what was to come, many might see this as concerning. Even disturbing perhaps. But then, metamorphosis occurs and what seemed like absolute chaos, uncertainty and fear becomes a perfect butterfly. And we begin again. 🥚 🐛🫟 🦋

Welcome to the new + improved RPS platform!

🦋Thank you so much for being here my friends.🦋 

It is incredible to look back and see how far we have come together. Were some of you here when our community forum was on WhatsApp? LOL! What a time! Then we were on Facebook, then Instagram.

I am really grateful that we have a space off of social media to connect, share, and celebrate each other. This is something members have expressed craving and it's so deeply gratifying to bring it to life. Note the dedicated channels on the left where it will be much easier to catch up on latest news and posts! There is a pinned post at the top of each channel for more info.

Now, let's get to know each other a little better!

Please introduce yourself here:

  • Where you're from

  • What brought you to RPS

  • Your fav class or class style

  • What your tail looks like (this is an inside joke but if you aren't in on it yet, you will be now! In class sometimes I say to look at your tail and imagine it, now's your chance to share what you imagine!)

  • Your thoughts on the new platform so far

  • Anything else you'd like to share!

Again, just thank you. From the bottom of my heart. None of this would be possible without you. 🫂

Tapping in! This tradition was started by bad b Monique back on our IG chat. Ever since then it's been such an incredible way to get inspired, motivated and to celebrate the win of showing up for you. Here is how it works:

Whenever you are about to take class, pop in here and say "Tapping in for  {class name}".

You can also tap in for anything. Bad b Shakira once famously said "Tapping in for giving birth". Can't wait to see what you all are up to 🥰

Hi bad b's! I have a favor to ask...

Would you mind leaving comments on your favorite classes and writing a review in the app store? Since we switched to the new software, those are two things that had to start all over. It would mean so much to me. Thank you in advance.

Let's celebrate our wins. The harder this is for you to do, the more helpful it's likely to be. No win is too big or too small. Share away bad b, we cannot wait to cheer you on and celebrate you!!!

Ask the community for a recommendation + give tips 🌎

We are so much greater than the sum of our parts! And I am always happy to give recommendations as well, but I do love seeing when someone asks the community for a recommendation. The recommendations are always so thoughtful. So please ask away here!

If you have tips for your favorite class when you're feeling down, or a prop alternative you love, this is a great place to share with the collective. We are really all in this together!

Community guidelines: 

  • Privacy: Everything that is shared in this group will remain ONLY in this group. If there is a post I would like to share, I will always ask your express permission to do so. This is extremely important to me. RPS is a safe space for sharing.

  • Respect + Inclusivity: There will be ZERO tolerance for bullying or harassment of any kind. While this has never been an issue on RPS and I don't foresee it becoming one (ya'll are seriously the greatest humans) I just want to express the importance of this in keeping our space welcoming and safe.

  • Diet Culture: many RPS members feel comfortable at RPS because we don't talk about diet culture and we celebrate movement for all bodies: fat and skinny and everything in between. Please help me continue to keep this space free of talk about diet. 

  • Spam/Advertizing: This is not a space for spamming. If you would like to share about an event or business you think would benefit the community, just send me a DM first.
