#RISEwithKiraGrace Giveaway Challenge

2020 continues to challenge us in unprecedented ways. Our mission at KiraGrace has always been to support women moving through transitions, and your patience, strength and perseverance through these difficult times has inspired us to dedicate the month of September to Rising Together with the KiraGrace community. Our goal is to continue to bring you a little bit of sunshine and inspiration as we navigate these changes.

Rising Together would not be possible without you. We asked you, our incredible KiraGrace community, to share how you #RISEwithKiraGrace in your everyday lives, and we received some beautiful responses:

"I was woken up early this morning to the sounds of thunder and lightning and was immediately drawn to roll out my mat and do some yoga and meditation  Something about sounds of heavy rain felt like Mother Nature was rinsing away all the stress and that I’ve been carrying around lately, like a little reset courtesy of the God of Thunder (thanks Thor!) Today I’m choosing gratitude and positive vibes only #risewithkiragrace"

"As you know, I started Monday & Thursday evening zoom yoga classes a few months ago when I was not able to teach live. I have been absolutely blown away at how many friends have joined me, both old and new! 

I am so grateful for friends who have consistently shown up on their yoga mats creating a little zoom yoga community ( how strange does that sound?) I have learned that in hard and strange days, we support each other however we can. We can foster and grow friendships and relationships through strange and innovative ways!

I appreciate those of you who have joined in and I am thankful for years of steadfast friendship. I am grateful for the rekindling of oldie but goodie friends and so happy to be making new friends.
I love that because of these classes you feel better, you have donated to those in need and I have been able to continue doing something I love! THANK YOU!"
