Keiko joined us 4 months ago recently completed her first 30 visits, and did it all while juggling parenthood, and chronic back pain. But what blew my mind was what happened a few weeks ago: after breaking her toe at home, Keiko didn’t disappear from her routine. Instead, she showed up to class wearing a bo**ie, continuing coming to Pilates, and keeping her self-care journey going strong. That kind of dedication is rare and deeply inspiring to everyone around her.
​
From Back Pain to Empowerment

‘I’ve had consistent lower back pain for years, and recently it began disturbing my sleep despite medical treatment,” Keiko shared. “I needed to start a regular exercise routine to strengthen my core and hopefully reduce the pain. As a mother of a young child, weekday lunchtime is the only free time I have, and Glow’s proximity to my home was perfect. I’m in the most pain when I don’t move, and Glow classes have been a great help. I’ve always loved yoga, but the variety of classes has allowed me to enjoy new tricks and strengthen different parts of my body. After breaking my toe, I wanted to maintain momentum. Even though I couldn’t do yoga, running, or walking, I could still do Pilates to build my muscles. After class, I always feel better, more relaxed and empowered, and that is why I keep coming back.’​​

A Few Fun Facts About Keiko

October is the season of release. Just as the trees let go of their leaves, we are called to let go of what no longer serves us. In yoga philosophy, this month we honor Kṣamā Yama, forgiveness and patience. It is the practice of loosening the grip of resentment, softening old hurts, and opening space for peace. ​
​
Through its 10 yamas and 10 niyamas, Ta**ra yoga philosophy expands the path by embracing the body, senses, and everyday life as gateways to greater awareness and living fully. Yamas and Niyamas are values and ethical practices that help us reach our full potential for personal, spiritual, and professional growth, and to liberate us from the repetitive cycle of suffering. When we live in contradiction to the highest values, when we avoid taking the higher road - we get stuck in a rat.
​
October also stirs the emotion of grief. With shorter days and colder nights, we may feel the weight of endings and transitions. Yoga teaches us to meet these feelings not with resistance, but with compassion. Forgiveness is a form of release, allowing ourselves to feel grief while not holding onto it, creating space for healing and renewal.​
​
On the mat, we’ll explore hip openers like Pigeon and Kind Pigeon Pose (Eka Pada Rajakapotasana), moving with patience toward deeper variations, as well as scare Crows for Halloween. These shapes remind us that forgiveness is a process of steady practice, not forced, but revealed with patience and time.
​
Forgiveness means you’ve found a way forward that acknowledges harm done … without letting either your anger or your pain rule your life.

In Amsterdam, our morning rhythms couldn’t have been more different: he slept in, while I slipped out.. to local fitness studios. At first I hesitated… we were on this trip TOGETHER, and he doesn’t like to leave hotel room before 10a. But then I remembered: this is exactly what I preach. Take care of yourself first. I LOVE discovering new studios when I travel: new moves, creative interior design, organization, and all the little details that make clients fall in love with working out.

So I set my alarm and booked morning classes. It became my favorite part of the trip: walking the morning streets, watching locals ride 2 million bikes to work, or sitting at coffee shops sipping their morning coffee. And, as I walked back to the hotel, I felt not just stronger, but all lit up inside, feeling like a million bucks for making time for me.

Taking care of you doesn’t take away from the people you love - it gives them more what they love. 💗
Shout out to my favorite studio I discovered in Amsterdam: - their west location!

As nature is prepping to drop its colors, we’re reminded not to hold on too tightly. True growth happens by nurturing our roots and doing the deep work beneath the surface.

This month is about non-attachment to our outdated rules, beliefs and should haves we’ve been carrying. Even the roles we play and the number of candles on our cake can be stories we don’t need to grip anymore.😚

Our pose of the month, Twisted Roots, that can be enjoyed as a nurturing twist, or a courageous arm balance. This is the season for nourishing twist works the large intestine meridian and the lungs to help us wring out what no longer serves and make space for growth.
September at Glow is about reflecting, releasing, getting strong and making room for what’s next.

We’re looking forward to enjoying this fall season together,

Wishing love, peace,
Natasha and team
