I'm quietly celebrating my 6-year anniversary of Hot Yoga Sanford. I actually forgot all about it until my mom reminded me yesterday. A new student came this morning and insisted that we take a picture, and I post it on social media. LOL This is a great example of how unbelievable it is that I made it this long with my terrible business mind, but I DID and I AM!!! and actually, this picture really sums it up!
I opened my studio right before COVID hit 2/6/2020 after leaving a studio with many financial problems. Without sharing the darkest moments of my life, I KNEW that I had to keep going. This KNOWING was the only thing that made sense to me. I am not only the teacher and owner, but I am also a student. There were countless mornings I would get on the mat before I had to teach and look in the mirror for 90 minutes focusing on each breath because at that point that's all I had. I know that this practice works in a way that nothing else compares to it. Without this practice, I would have never been able to do it. It has a unique way of connecting me to that inner light what we all share even at the darkest times.
There have been so many amazing changes and gifts and moments that I have experienced during these 6 years. I am so grateful for all of it! I thank all of the students that continuously show up and work so hard. IT IS SO HARD!!! and IT WORKS!!! KEEP SHINING BRIGHT!!! 💓🙏
