Yoga with WomenInVo: Mindful Meet-ups and Far Away Friends

It didn't take long to realize that the @womeninvo community is among the warmest and most inviting. All zoom squares are welcome, all voices happily heard.

It also didn't take long to realize that we have a few hobbies in common.

With the challenges of a pandemic era, making new friends and building connections takes creativity. Zoom meet-ups for networking, especially in the Voice Over community are more fun than your average drink and mingle in the "before times." But who says that networking has to be formal? Why not make new friends with industry peers while doing something you all enjoy?

A new WomenInVo friend of mine suggested we set up a Yoga meet-up since many of us were following Yoga With Adriene's 30 Days of Yoga. We thought a little movement could promote some wellness and maybe open the door to a more relaxed way to create community.

After the first class, we were asked to offer the meeting again, and we now offer them monthly.

While networking may have changed, it has also provided an opportunity to connect with people across the globe. Hopefully this new wave of connective creativity will lead to new careers and innovations in our little VO world.
