Four years ago, life was very different.
Studios had shut down, classes were still cancelled or had moved online, and Tasmania’s borders hadn’t even opened to the mainland yet. It was the height of the pandemic. Mark and I had just moved from Byron Bay to Hobart—and we knew absolutely no one.
It was then I had the (brilliant? ridiculous?) idea to start an Ashtanga yoga community.
Four years ago this week, I began hosting in-person classes. During a pandemic. For a while there, I wasn’t even sure they would survive! Some of you might remember when it was just you in the room.
You know, most of the time I’m usually focused on what’s ahead—what’s next, what needs planning, listing out the future goals. Maybe you’re like that too.
But sometimes, it’s really nice to take a moment to look back at just how far we’ve come and celebrate what we’ve accomplished.
Because building a community from scratch? I didn’t quite grasp just how hard and how long it takes until I did it myself. You will need perseverance, devotion, and an unwavering sense of purpose.
Not too unlike a yoga practice, right?
And when I say what “we’ve accomplished” – I mean it.
It couldn’t have been done without you.
So—thank you.
If you’ve come to class, thank you.
If you’ve joined a retreat, sent a message, practiced online, or even just sent good vibes this way—thank you.
If you’re part of this Ashtanga Hobart community, happy anniversary! Celebrate what we’ve created over these four years. 🥳
And if you’re reading this from somewhere else in the world, what can you look back on and say, “Wow, I did that?” Amid obstacles, challenges, and failures—you really did.
So, what are you going to celebrate today?
