Hey tribe! You’ve already heard the news and I’m so excited that today marks the first official day of my new role as the studio owner at this beautiful space!
It’s amazing to me how some things in life present themselves as carefully wrapped gifts that only require a willingness to open and receive, and I chose to receive one of those gifts this month.
I’ve been teaching barre fitness at here for almost exactly 7 years (84 months/ 363 weeks/ 2543 days to be exact) and take class nearly every day even when I’m not teaching. Ballet and barre classes have defined my fitness world and have sustained my mental health for so long that my heart sunk when said she’d be closing the studio a few weeks ago.
This news kicked the problem solver in me into high gear which lead to conversations around possibilities for keeping the studio (and the beautiful community it fostered) alive and thriving and I am so grateful that I get to take on this role in the most beautiful and supportive way possible.
Shantel will remain at the studio with me, teaching all of her usual classes, guiding and mentoring me as I grow into this new role. I feel held, loved and celebrated here and can’t wait to keep creating and sharing this beautifully packaged gift to be opened by all who will receive it, including those of you who have remained here supporting this small business while loving and caring for each other.
