What actually separates people who stay consistent with movement from those who struggle to make it stick?
It’s not about willpower, having more time, or being fitter or more flexible.
Research consistently shows that once movement becomes part of your identity — rather than a task you negotiate with yourself about, or a means to an end like “I should do this to lose weight” — it stops feeling forced and instead becomes part of who you are and what you value.
People who maintain long-term movement practices don’t rely on motivation. They build environments, habits, and relationships that support consistency. Movement becomes something that gives rather than something that takes.
This brings us to two pretty special milestones at Village 💚
Our studio turns three next month and already we've had two students reach 500 classes.
✨ Kerrie Marr — the very first to cross the 500-class milestone
✨ Amanda Hetherington — hot on her heels (not that it's a competition 😜)
That’s over 500 choices to show up. To move. To rest. To connect.
Amanda shared some of the reasons she keeps coming back:
“Truly authentic instructors — they make my heart sing ☺️”
“The need to move my body and feel strong, but also the gift of intentional rest.”
“The chance to escape from all the noise and hoo-ha and go deep into all the wonderful aspects of yoga.”
“The community 🙌😎 I feel like I fit in ❤️”
“All the props, plants, scents, sounds, and small touches. I love it 👌”
Kerrie and Amanda have blazed the trail but many others are quietly closing in on this milestone. You know who you are!!
So we’ll leave you with this question:
🤍 Which camp do you feel you’re in right now — the one where movement feels integrated, or the one where it still feels like something you have to convince yourself to do?
And if you’re not happy with that answer…
✨ what would need to change to make the switch?
Consistency isn’t built on pressure. It’s built on identity, support, and belonging.
We’re so proud of our Village 💚
