Our story

As yoga teachers and daily journalers, we have long been captured by the mindful ritual of writing. It requires you to slow down, step outside of the busyness of life, and explore your emotions in a judgment-free space.

We designed this journal to help you find joy in the ritual of daily writing. The joy of feeling the cover in your hands, opening a fresh page, putting pen to paper, and finding gratitude in the shape of your words. Allow yourself to be present, release expectations, and let every new page unfold as a fresh canvas for inspiration, ready for whatever comes your way.

About the Authors

Shawna Krueger sitting

Shawna Krueger

Shawna is a bilingual certified yoga instructor, motivational speaker, and host of the Leadership and Yoga podcast.

Shawna has completed two 200-Hour Teacher Trainings: Ashtanga Yoga Puerto Rico and Siddhi Yoga International. She is also trained in Ashtanga Vinyasa and has completed a certificate program in guided meditation and Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga. Her own personal practice started in 2012 as a family activity before morphing into a passion she now takes pride in sharing with others.

As the host of the Leadership and Yoga podcast, Shawna’s work revolves around the quest for more yoga in leadership, and better leadership in yoga. With a background working for law firms in the Seattle area, she now uses that experience to bridge the gap between the yoga lifestyle and the office in both English and Spanish.

Katie McAuliffe

Katie is a yoga teacher, a professional yoga and fitness writer, and host of the Well Within podcast (coming soon).

She received her 200-hour certification from Yoga Den in 2015 and completed additional trainings in aerial yoga and yoga nidra. Her signature style embraces slow, intentional movement and themes of nature to enhance awareness in body and mind.

In her work on and off the mat, she is passionate about making yoga accessible for everyone through the use of inclusive language. Her goal is to help people learn more about themselves through movement, mindfulness, and the art of slowing down.
