The time has come… I say “Good bye. Adios. Sayonara. See you later.” ✌️
With infinite gratitude and boundless love to each of you, Buti and Soul Self Love Center is changing hands. This has been a collaborative, unique, powerful space to work together and form this hidden gem that is so much more than a yoga studio. Buti & Soul quickly became a welcoming community for people of all walks of life. Walking their own path of healing and showing self compassion. The classes, events, workshops, rituals, gatherings all overflowed with depth of connection, commUNITY and heartfelt memories that I will keep with me forever.
During my time in North Augusta, it took me a while to truly open myself up, I knew that with being a military spouse my time here would be bound. It wasn’t until my last year here, that I was given this roaring purpose. With encouragement both earthly and heavenly, I took the leap of faith and felt fully supported along the way. No amount of words or tears could express what that choice has done, not only in this moment but also my future and past self. You all became my extended family, my home away from home, the space to nurture myself and others. This little pink house has brought so much healing and happiness, and will continue to do so when I'm gone.
As many of you have most likely picked up on, my mind has been heavily planning and praying for the next chapter of Buti and Soul. The thought of leaving a place and people I love so much had me question EVERYTHING, and I’m still not sure I have the answers. I prayed and prayed for a like-minded individual to see my visions and dreams, and sow the seeds that we have already planted. I prayed for a person who would take what is, add their own magic, and make it even better. Someone who loves the space and students as much as I do, and will respect the past, present and future of everyone who has become part of this family and anyone who walks through the doors. Thankfully at just the right time, Keirsten came into my life. She is different, intune, loving, nurturing, patient and willing to go out of her way to help someone in need. Her expression for yoga and inner work is so heartfelt and warm. Her passion is to help women on the path feel their most beautiful selves, inside and out. Keristen, along with her best friend Kaite, will be taking over this space. They will add their own magic, keep what we have built, and water the seeds that were planted. I have full confidence they will make this experience everything and more of what I could do this short time here. The instructors and classes you all love will stay the same and some will be added. I will be bringing with me the name Buti & Soul and will help them announce the new name of the Self Love Studio. I hope the excitement of new beginnings will be shared amongst this community and support will overflow to the new owners.
This has been a labor of passion and energy; although I brought the Buti, ya’ll gave it SOUL. The growth of the business has been a collaborative effort with one goal remaining, LOVE. That will not change as I pass it on to our new owners Keirsten & Katie.
Namaste. ✨🙏
It's been my pleasure, Cheers to new adventure,
