Oh Dear Yogis!
As we close out 2025, I keep coming back to the steadfast discipline that I got to witness in our community this year.
So many of you showed up on the days you did not want to, and the transformations that followed have been powerful.
The physical changes have been beautiful, but what has moved me the most are the emotional and mental shifts.
I watched people soften, open, strengthen and rise in ways that can only come from deep commitment.
I saw students step into challenging events and intimidating classes with a level of courage that inspires me daily.
We built a strong base of yogis who chose consistency over comfort and who leaned into private sessions to deepen their practice in meaningful ways. You are our Anchors. I can never thank you enough...but I will always keep trying.
Our yoga family has grown far beyond the walls of the studio.
Some of our students cannot physically make it in, yet with their determination and our loving team, yoga made it to them
Shout out to our out-of-staters who remain an integral part of our community, even while commuting from afar.
Our reach of regulars now stretches from the west coast to New York, because when they are in town, they come to us like a satellite returning home.
It is the wildest and most beautiful thing to witness.
Kindred spirits know how to find us. ✨️
This year I also saw our teachers support one another with a level of generosity that still amazes me.
They supported you. They supported me.
And then I watched you support each other.
You showed up for your fellow yogis through surgeries, injuries and grief. One student received so many gifts during recovery that we literally had to get a storage container to hold them.
That is who you all are.
My heart wells in my eyes as I write this
I watched you expand your understanding of yoga philosophy and, more importantly, your awareness of yourselves.
That is the heart of what we do here.
When awareness expands, life becomes lighter.
You begin moving through the world with more ease, more steadiness and more trust in your own inner knowing.
A special thank you to Diane Steeh , Mark and Joyce Echlin.
To teach is to be the humblest student.
The way you walk this path teaches me more than anything.
In 2026 i'm calling in more "mini workshops" on the floor in the lobby for us and laughing until feel like we just finished the Big 5 while we plan our next move for loving the next soul that comes our way.
I am beyond grateful for every person who stepped onto a mat this year.
We see you.
Thank you for choosing this place, this practice and this community.
You make my work meaningful.
Here is to a new year of depth, growth and the kind of transformation that only comes from staying the course.
So much love to you,
Amanda 🫂🤍✨️
