The Heart Behind the Studio
Running a small business built around something this niche in a town this size hasn't been easy. There have been more times than I can count where I wanted to close the doors for good. What's kept me going, every single time, is the people. Having a room full of people breathing and moving together, that energy is worth more than almost anything else.
Finding good teachers isn't easy either, especially out here. That's a big part of why I started the training program in the first place. For years I was the only one running yoga teacher training within 200 miles, and I think I still am, or at least I'm the most consistent one around.
There have been plenty of seasons where I said out loud, I don't want to do the business side of this. Running a studio is not the same thing as teaching yoga, and some days the paperwork and the hard decisions are the last thing I want to carry. In those seasons I've leaned hard on our teachers, on my friends, on my spouse. I couldn't have kept these doors open alone, and I don't think I was ever meant to.
