This is the crew that saw it THROUGH #40daystopersonalrevolution
FINALE CELEBRATION
We meditated, practiced, shared, and celebrated 🌟
We acknowledged those who did all the meditations, or all the practices, or all the meetings 🏆 (David and Robin did every meditation, practice, and meeting!)
We celebrated the two groups who had the strongest attendance 🏆 (and the next two, who were close)
Each group voted for their team champion and those folks got GREAT prizes generously donated by @saltwatermassagestudio

@billcrosbyart and
Coley Bryan 🙌🏻💯👌🏻
……..
We are SO honored by the dedication and honest work everyone put into this program. We had folks brand new to our studio, people stepping out of extreme shyness, some who couldn’t make the meetings but rocked the group texts and the rest, babies were juggled (not literally 😆), travelers met my #baptisteyoga friends in new cities, and MOST IMPORTANTLY friendships were forged ❤️
