Man, I miss teaching! I miss holding space for your practice! Another local yoga studio owner, wrote an eloquent post a week or so ago. She spoke about how much she missed seeing people rushing into her studio-stressed and overwhelmed and seeing them leave with that look of peace that a beautiful yoga practice can provide. I could not agree more!
I am sitting in my beautiful little studio as I write this. It makes me sad that I can’t share it with you. HeartFelt Yoga was just starting to gain a little community when we closed our doors. Yoga studios will be opening in the third stage. So, it will be a little while yet.
I found this lovely quote today and it keeps popping into my head as I putter around the studio
Patience is a form of wisdom. It demonstrates that we understand and accept the fact that sometimes things must unfold in their own time. ~Jon Kabat-Zin
I went to Costco yesterday. This was the first time I have shopped there since the lock down. I was really struck by how patient everyone was. If before the lock down, we had to wait 20 minutes to go into Costco, there would have been a lot of complaining. This was not the case yesterday. People were chatting with their neighbours, playing with their kids, or standing quietly watching the world go by. I think it’s great, if through all of this we gain a strong sense of patience. Just that will make the world a better place.
So, I wait patiently to see you again, to practice yoga with you, to get a hug from you, to have discussions about your life, to hear what you did on the weekend, to see you smile at your favourite pose, to see you roll your eyes at your least favourite, to hear a room full of people sigh at the end of a great class….
I have been busy (as busy as I want to be anyway) behind the scenes. I have canceled MindBody- our booking program and switched to Schedulicity. You can find a link to that program on the Therapeutic Yoga page. If you have an existing pass, all of your information has been transferred over to the new program. I have also spent some time revamping the HeartFelt website, please take a peek around and see what we will be offering when we do meet again.
Until next time,
Sandra
