It’s with mixed emotions that I share the final chapter of Urban Ashram with you. After much thought and consideration the studio with close its doors after the last class on Saturday Feb 19th.
I opened the studio 9 years ago, just after the loss of my father. It has been a place for healing, growth and connection for myself and so many people. It has been my utmost pleasure to watch people transform their relationship with themselves, build confidence, awareness and learn to move and feel better within their body.
Urban Ashram has been a home for many to drop into when they needed and the ripple effects from that are far reaching.
The studio has been a passion project, it’s what most of you ‘see’ as what I do but is mostly funded by the other unseen work that I do. Over the past 2 years it has become an unsustainable way to share the practice with you all. I will still teach public classes and I look forward to sharing with you where, over the coming weeks. I have opened up my books to take on more private sessions, groups and massage. I will be available as a consultant for corporate wellness programs and businesses. I will continue to grow my online offerings, my teacher training and educational resources along with working on writing a book! Now I’ve said it publicly, I have to do it!
I want to thank ALL of the teachers past and present who helped me build the studio, share their love of the practice and given their time and energy . Thank you to ALL my teacher trainees over the years, each one of you have left an imprint on my heart. I want to thank ALL of the students over the years, there has been thousands, without you the studio is just 4 walls, it's your collective energy that makes this place truly special and the reason I have kept it going for so long.
It’s time to move on, to move beyond current limitations and see just how far I can reach in new and different ways. Cont..
