Being a business owner is such a funny little practice in itself… every month brings a new contest, a new nomination, a new thing to chase + a new reminder to check the ego at the door.
Each time, my first thought is gratitude. Someone thought to nominate us !? 🥹🙏🏼
My second thought is, do we care about the results? And the honest answer is: yes… and no. 😉
Of course we participate—someone thought of us, someone nominated us, and that alone is beautiful. It has come into our awareness, and so we’ll dance with it. We’re so grateful to be nominated for Best Yoga Studio in South Jersey, especially alongside so many incredible studios we deeply respect. To be seen by this community means everything and it means we’re serving you well.
This past week in the studio we practiced Santosha—contentment. The kind that says:
we can receive recognition, accolades, and kind words…
without believing we need them to be enough.
We don’t seek to remove all of our belonging, relationships, and titles, but we seek to remove any part of us that is NOT OK without them.
We remember that happiness in life comes from something within, not anything without, and don’t place our happiness in any contest, person, title, or thing.
And So we participate.
Lovingly.
Gratefully.
+ Lightly.
And mostly, in celebration of this community that has grown, breathed, laughed, and practiced together over the past 15 months. What a journey it has already been. ✨
