Oh Hey!!!!
Just Stacey here with an update and a check in♥️ This post may be long and a bit vulnerable…..but here we go!!
I have had so many people question why I sold the studio, and I have avoided talking about it a lot, mostly due to embarrassment and fear of what people would think of me! Yet the more I open up and talk, the more I begin to feel connected to each of you, which is something I have been missing a lot of in the past 2 years!
For those of you who come to my classes, you know my passion of yoga, how it changed my life and how in each and every class we speak of self empowerment, growth, stepping out of comfort zones, discovering self love, self acceptance and never losing sight of who YOU are, in all our perfectly imperfect ways. I want you all to love yourselves just as you are.
Yet somewhere along the way I lost that in myself. I can sit here and blame Covid for dragging me down, and the challenges I had to face, but that would just be an excuse! The reality is, I lost who I was, and forgot to do the work myself! That’s the raw deal.
The studio became my identity and I didn’t know who I was outside of that! I found myself falling into people pleasing, just going through the days to make it to the next, some days just not wanting to get out of bed. I really really needed to step back and find me!
I know it may seem like I took the easy way out, and just sold. Just know I didn’t take that decision lightly. And I truly made sure the studio was going to be in good hands! Which if you haven’t been into see Summer yet, you should, she’s doing incredible things. I was just ready to step back, and just find my passion and zest for life and teach and share my love of the practice again.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month…..so here I am! Mental Health is REAL…..and I found it easy to get so caught up in day to day life, making sure everyone was ok, that I forgot to make sure I was ok……and I finally had to step back and admit I wasn’t. Please know we are all on our own journey, yet we have the power to connect, be relatable, be open, vulnerable and to be of support! Nobody is ever alone ♥️
This isn’t the end, its’s the end of a chapter, and I get to start a brand new one. I am putting myself back into the work and registered into my 200hr Coaching Certification called, Become the Catalyst with my teacher Pam who I did my 500hr training with. I will still be teaching and running all my workshops in the studio and I will have the amazing opportunity to get on my mat and be a student with you once again.
I have many things to be excited for……..I’m getting married, I have incredible children…..I have an incredible mom. My friends. All of you.
TruNorth Yoga will always be a part of me, all of you who supported me through the past 5 years (7 years including Yoga Kula) will always be inspirations to me. I am going to keep my page open here to share my workshops and classes and who knows what else may come up!
Cheers friends! I can’t wait to continue to see you on your mats, to hold space, and to continue to be the most authentic version of me I can be ♥️
