January feels like a threshold, less about starting over and more about intentionally stepping into the year ahead.
Every year, I choose a word to guide me. For 2026, my word is PROSPER. ✨
To me, prosperity isn’t about doing more; it’s about doing what matters well. It’s about tending to what’s already growing, strengthening the foundation of what’s been built, and allowing expansion to happen in a way that feels honest, healthy, and sustainable.
And don’t get me wrong, there are still goals I’m working toward so the studio can continue to grow and thrive, but my intention is to pursue that growth in a sustainable, honest, and aligned way. That means thoughtfully training and bringing on exceptional teachers, mentoring and supporting them as they develop, and continuing to invest in and nurture the incredible team that’s already here, so we can all prosper together.
This season has me thinking less about pressure and more about care. Care for the studio. Care for the community inside it. Care for the people who show up every day: members, teachers, trainees, and care for myself as I continue to lead, learn, and evolve. Prosperity shows up when things are nurtured, not rushed.
Pilates Barre Lex continues to change, just as I do. The work looks different than it once did, but the heart behind it hasn’t shifted. If anything, it’s deepened. 🤍 I’m learning that growth doesn’t always arrive loudly. Sometimes it shows up quietly, in consistency, in trust, and in choosing longevity over burnout.
There will always be moments of uncertainty. The people-pleaser in me still whispers, “I’m not enough.” But this year, I’m choosing to believe it’s possible to grow and feel steady, to expand and stay true, and to prosper without losing the heart behind it all.
If you’re unsure about what’s next this year, remember: you don’t need it all figured out. Just keep showing up with intention. Just start. You don’t have to be perfect. Prosperity is a practice, not a finish line.
Here’s to a year of meaningful growth, steady progress, and becoming well in all the ways that matter. 🤍 Thank you for being here.
With so much love,
Han
