- Hey what's up everyone?

Adriene here and I hope this
video message finds you well.

I'm coming at ya with a quick
invitation to something that

we've been nurturing and growing
together as a community for

quite some time but maybe
not everyone knows about it.

So I'm here to invite 
you to the FWFG KULA.

(light music)

Now first you might ask me,

wait I still don't 
know what KULA means

and if that's true 
you're not the only one.

So KULA is the 
Sanskrit word for community.

So a gathering of people and
in particular the word KULA,

K-U-L-A is

really referencing
a community of the heart.

So a gathering of people around
the heart space which can get a

little crazy for some people
but if you don't try too hard to

define it and just 
kind of go with the feeling,

community of heart,

I don't know about you but
it feels really good to me.

So we've been waking up these
different community spaces on

different platforms and we
decided that based on all the

needs of our community and the
requests and just the vibrant

conversation that's going on,
some of it deeply personal,

some of it really 
lighthearted and fun,

some of it strictly about yoga
and yoga asana and somethings,

everything under the sun.

We decided that due to this
vibrant community and its needs,

we really needed to have a space
that was private and safe and

solely dedicated 
to the conversations

that we're having together.

I think that 
these conversations are

what makes this
community special.

I think this also helps us
all continue to discover and

rediscover and learn how
to take our yoga off the mat

and into our daily lives.

So please take this as your
official invitation to come join

us at the FWFG KULA.

Everyone is invited, it's
completely free and my team and

I have worked really hard to
create a safe space that feels

really good and fun and 
that caters to your needs,

your interests and your desires.

So in addition 
to it being private,

you know off Facebook, 
off YouTube,

off these other platforms, 
it's really unique in that you

can customize 
your experience there.

So you create a profile,

you can select 
your location in the world

which is really cool to
see how many people from all

over the world are engaging in
conversations but you can also

sync up with more ease to people
in conversations in your area.

We have a lot of KULA meet-ups.

You can also pick 
certain topics to follow

and certain topics that 
you don't want to follow.

So you can select things based
on your interests so you kind of

curate the kinds of things
that you see in your feed.

So you're not just seeing
everything necessarily but you

can kind of 
help guide the experience

so that it serves you best.

So once you set up your profile,
Sarah our amazing KULA manager,

community manager has set up
a wonderful resource for you.

It says "Start here first" and
that is one of many beautiful

resources that Sarah's created

to make your 
experience more awesome.

Now I just want to 
acknowledge that change is hard.

So even for me it's been 
difficult to fully integrate

into the new FWFG KULA and it's
something that I played a big

hand in creating so I just want
to invite you to have an open

mind and to check it out.

If it's not for you, 
you can turn it off,

pass on it but I really 
think that this could be

the beginning of 
something really special.

It already is really special for
those of us who've been there

conversing and connecting and
for anyone who's watching who's

been in there, thank you so
much for being a big part of the

foundation of this group.

I think the 
conversations, again,

are really valuable and really
important as we move forward and

go deeper in our practice.

So giddy-up, hop to it, get in
there you can share comments.

You can read things.
You can be a wallflower.

You can chime in.

You can share 
all sorts of things.

Now, again, based on your
interests I just really love

this group and I 
can't wait to kick it off.

Alright my darling friends, 
so giddy-up get on over there

and unlock that space.

I'll be spending a 
lot more time there.

I've set intentions to really
nurture that space a bit more

and I'm gonna be doing that in

January during 
the 30 days of Yoga.

We're gonna have a group there
that you can join and just share

the experience with and cheer
each other on and all that jazz.

♪ Start the car, I know a whoopy
spot where the gin is cold

and the piano's hot. ♪ (laughs)

Alright, from my heart to yours,

thank you again for sharing 
not only your yoga practice but

your life with this community.

It's such a great honor to
be in this family with you.

Thank you so much.

Namaste.
