"Joie de vivre" - your delight in simply living your life.
You ARE so deserved of rest, time to unwind, to take a breather. Prioritising the people around you, their wellbeing, your job is completely selfless & we salute you BUT we are here to tell you that your own self-care is not selfish, it really is essential. Our yoga memberships are the most affordable way for you to have a routine practice. Our timetable gives you choices of various styles & teachings to best support whatever it is you're in need of, knowing each class will be unique - that's why we call it a practice.
Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice which aims to create union between body, mind and spirit, as well as between the individual self and universal consciousness.
We want to tell you that you cannot be all these things to all the people around you without slowing down the pace to restore your own energy. We know this doesn't come always come naturally and that is why our studio exists. You deserve dedicated time, space, to develop a ritual to move and breathe consciously, unapologetically.
By not consciously carving time into your routine where you can press pause will inevitably build up to burn out.
You prioritise your to do list well above your self-care
Yes, we ARE extremely passionate about yoga but that is because we know how transformational it can be. We're pretty sure you wouldn't treat those around you the way you do yourself. You are deserved of having support, a ritual, a practice, something that is a constant when so many things surrounding you are ever changing. Sometimes we have to surrender to control to the external world but having the ability through tools & yogic wisdom to cultivate inner balance is powerful.
Slowing down in this modern world isn't a sign of weakness, but quite the opposite. To keep up with the doing, you need to spend time simply being, restoring your energy.
What is your one non-negotiable that you do every single day to top up on your joy?
Reclaim your joy. Unwind. Restore your internal balance
