🐣WE'RE READY FOR THE SPRING 2026 TERM!🐣
As the girls & I have spent countless hours in the studio this week, cleaning props & deep cleaning the space itself, I've felt rather emotional.
Way back in the fall of 2016, I used the insurance payout on my Vibe after a hailstorm rolled through Winkler to invest in my first props: cork & foam blocks, straps, eye pillows and blankets. As I waited alone those first 3 weeks of classes until my first client arrived the 4th week, I wondered if I'd made a grave error.
A decade ago, I wish I could have told that version of me how brave she was and how proud I was of her. That her small investment would see her celebrate 10 years in business, surviving COVID, moving locations and thriving...all because she didn't give up when it looked impossible!
My prop collection grew quickly over the years as I added other props including sandbags and bolsters (not a traveling teacher's best friend by any stretch of the imagination!); kids props; and, most recently, wooden blocks for fascial release and hammocks for aerial yoga...anything to enhance the yoga practice for my clients.
I don't always make the best business decisions but, at the end of the day, I move in a way that feels right in my heart. Especially over the last few years, the trainings that I've taken are about finding divine alignment in my offerings: learning to play the crystal bowls & adding my voice; aerial yoga training (that continues this June!) and the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training that finishes in 3 weeks with the final weekend of practicum in Montreal!
There are many times I have to pinch myself as I ask myself, "How did I get here?"
I got here because a past version of me kept putting 1 foot in front of another, believing in herself & those props that she invested in almost a decade ago! The official celebration happens this October but really, the celebration happens every day...as I step back on my mat and follow the divine call within my heart 🙏
