I’ve been inspired by generational healing. Healed people, heal people and hurt people, hurt people. What if it was that simple? What if a brighter future lies in YOUR healing?
And at my midlife perch of 48, with an 18 year old launching, I can see how much his grandparents and this community helped us to help him succeed. He was born into privilege, success, health and community. Watching this has made me so much more aware of what we do for each other from generation to generation - how we leave our children better or worse off than where we started.
When I leave this earth, hopefully, I can leave my kids with a healthy foundation of love, humility, open-mindedness and a heart for service. And hopefully some good physical resources too.
My 18 yr old doesn’t do yoga (yet). I didn’t stumble into it until i was about his age. But I bartered for it because I didn’t have the resources. Eventually i made my own money and took yoga all over the world and have spent lots and lots of $$$$ on trainings, retreats, workshops and classes.
But what if someone passed on a generational membership - that the next generation could use to continue carrying the torch of health, wellness, consciousness and community.
At Sol, we’ve offered a ‘lifetime membership' for many years now. Inspired by my martial arts teacher who offered my family a ‘lifetime family membership’ when my parents had 3 small children and wanted to start them all in martial arts. My dad paid $2500 in 1983 for what turned into 20 years of unlimited karate for Rudy, Willy & Dorcas Quynn. It profoundly shaped our life with discipline, health and a community of people we could trust.
This year, I’m adding a legacy option for the 2026 and beyond version of the ‘lifetime membership’ at Sol. Your purchase can be transferred upon your passing to a person you choose - a spouse, child, friend or it can be placed in a scholarship ‘pot’ and we will assign it to someone in need. Your purchase will just keep giving.
The $5900 cost works out to about 472 classes if you pay about $12/class which is far below the $25 drop in. Depending on how often you practice - lets say you practice 3 times per week in studio - you’ve gotten your money’s worth in a little over a year. It’s really a financial no brainer. Not to mention how it supports the community in real time.
But MOST OF ALL - it is dedicated practitioners who become healers in our communities. People that practice with diligence have a health, vitality, level of consciousness and wisdom that carry the torch and provide a foundation for the young ones to carry on with the work.
If you are new to Sol, you can get dip your toe into our community with a much more accessible 90 for $90 pass for this summer only.
Thanks for reading thus far. Yoga isn’t about money, or deals, or high pressured invitations. It’s about connection. Which isn’t something we can com-modify or guarantee. It’s something we seek on a daily basis. That why we keep coming back to the practice. To connect. And ultimately to develop durable habits that allow us to LIVE from a connected, attuned and healthy foundation. Healed people, heal people. Lets pass it down.
To learn more about developing a daily practice. Tune in this summer - virtually or physically. We have 3-5 practices everyday and some of us will be sharing our daily practices via social media and invite you to do the same with #sol90in90. But the best was to develop a daily practice is to just do it. It’s not a show. It’s for you. We’ll hold your hand and show you the way if you’d like!
Join us.
Warmly,
Dorcas
