Well, another holiday season has come and gone! It’s really hard for me to comprehend, sometimes, just how quickly these years come and go! I really enjoyed, on social media, when people shared how much their lives had changed and shifted in the last decade. When I reflect back, 2010 was my first year of teaching yoga full time and at the end of 2019 I opened my very own yoga studio.
For one of my first teaching gigs, I rented a space in Red Deer. I had a lot of people telling me that I should just open my own studio then. I wonder what my life would look like, if I had done that? Even though I had at least 15 years of practice under my belt, in 2010, I didn’t feel like I knew enough about yoga to open a space. Yoga has always humbled me! I still wonder, at times, if I know enough now to do yoga justice. It’s important for me to be authentic in my yoga.
All yoga studio are teaching their vision of yoga- some offer classes in the heat, some classes are really fast moving, some classes are really slow, some are family focused- all are good and all are yoga. At HeartFelt yoga, we are offering a more therapeutic focus. I have picked the amazing ladies who work with me, for their training and their life experiences, in order to achieve this focus. All five of us, have experienced and seen the therapeutic side of yoga and just how amazing and powerful it is. I really feel blessed to have these women at my side!
I am excited for our 2020 plans! We offered our very first workshop on December 31st and it was a great success. We have a few other workshops scheduled for the first couple of months of 2020, plus a few more in the works. I’m also really proud of our weekly drop in schedule, I think we are offering a little something for everyone. When you attend a HeartFelt class, you will find that we like to teach at a little slower pace. Sometimes slow is misinterpreted as easy or not challenging. You may just be surprised!
We can’t wait to meet you on the mat!
Until next time,
Sandra
