Hi friends. I have made the very challenging (but necessary) decision to step away from the studio, effective immediately. This is a decision I’ve made ultimately due to my own personal needs to place more time and energy with my family at home, take care of our well-being and need to thrive, and also having been exasperated by some background challenges with property logistics of the building we lease.
In trying to make this decision, I really struggled with the feeling of letting so many people down, and feeling like a failure—but this studio has not been a failure in the least. In the few months since we’ve been open, I’ve seen hundreds of faces walk out of the studio and leave the weight of the world behind, I’ve seen countless people make new friends, I’ve seen humans heal, laugh, and enjoy life, and even I have found a circle of support that has made me feel so encouraged and loved while trying to make this decision! The incredible women who have supported me lately, I cannot express enough gratitude.
Once I have the mental capacity and energy, I will likely return to hosting yoga pop-up events locally (how I taught yoga before Prana) and private sessions, and teach at festivals and retreats (several on my schedule now), and will keep everyone posted of future things. But for now my energy will be focused on my home life and family. And focusing on myself—someone I do not often enough pour into. ❤️
I so much appreciate EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU who has visited the studio, supported this adventure, shared social posts, invited friends, or encouraged me along the way! You have made the most difference!
Please feel free to reach out (via message/text or phone call) with any questions — anyone with an open membership, please give me about a week to go through everything and reach out with how to move forward there.
This was a very challenging decision to make, as I know many of you will be sad and even a few upset (I’m sorry). Some circumstances we can’t control, but we can ALWAYS make the best of it.
I love you all and appreciate all of you. 🙏❤️
Much love and Namaste,
Padma Dharmata
