2025 was a wild year of transition—full of uncertainty, intimidating unknowns, and more bumps in the road than I ever thought possible. But standing here at the end of it all, one thing is crystal clear: the greatest gift of this year was creating our yoga studio here in North Conway—my home.
We pushed hard to open for part of the summer season, and YOU SHOWED UP. Almost immediately, the support from this community was overwhelming in the most beautiful way. My heart is full. I know we belong here, and I cannot wait to share so much more with you in the year ahead. We are just getting started.
None of this would have been possible without my husband, Billy, and my dad, Rich. Both are small business owners in the trades, and both dropped everything to tirelessly build this studio from the ground up. They not only put in the hours—they believed deeply in what I was trying to bring to the valley. Their support is woven into every beam, every wall, every detail of this space. I will never forget it, and there will never be enough “thank you’s” to express what that has meant to me. It’s a powerful reminder of what can happen when people work together toward a shared vision.
And that spirit of teamwork has carried right into our operations. Teachers and staff—this is YOU. From day one, you hit the ground running. Those who stepped into roles here brought a natural light, an authenticity, and a dedication that can’t be manufactured. So many people have walked through our doors and said, “I just had a feeling I needed to come in.” That is the energy you’ve created. That is what spreads—quietly, powerfully—like wildfire.
This valley needed a place to connect, a place to feel part of something bigger, but also a place where every person can feel good in their own skin. A place to breathe, move, and sweat together. You helped bring that vision to life.
Thank you—from the bottom of my heart—for making Hot Asana Studio NoCo everything it is today. And if you haven’t made it in yet, be sure to put a visit on your list for 2026. We can’t wait to welcome you.
