HUMANS OF CHI: AMANDA PRESUTTI
ER NURSE + CHI J***Y INSTRUCTOR

The first time I showed up at Chi J***y, I was looking for a studio closer to home. I had been practising yoga in some form or another for probably a decade before that. And I walked in here, and the first thing I saw was a tank top that said, “Zen as f**k,” and then a picture of Biggie, and I was, like, “These are my people.” And then I loved the classes so much, and I found out about the energy exchange. So, it was actually perfect because it was a little bit of a rough time in my life, so it was really nice that I could exchange my energy for classes. And then the studio renos happened at a time when I was just going through this crazy life change, and so I got to help break down a wall. That was cathartic. This place became kind of a lifeline for me for a long time. And I had literally moved right down the street, so I was here every day, taking class, sometimes twice. And I did my teacher training around that time. Actually, when I did my teacher training, it wasn’t even to lead classes, to be honest. I took teacher training just for my own personal growth. Because nursing is such a life. It’s not just a career. It’s kind of embedded in your life. And I had done so much extracurricular learning in nursing for a decade that I was just like, I need to learn something new that’s not nursing related. Hence the yoga teacher training. I just needed something new but different. And as always happens, I wanted to show what I found to other people. So finally, I got to lead my own class here, which is really nice. And I love the mental health aspect of nursing. It’s actually my favourite part. And I would love to kind of meld the two. My biggest dream right now is to have a retreat at some point, a permanent retreat.

INTRODUCING HUMANS OF CHI.

We are lucky to have one of the most incredible communities at Chi J***y, one that is made up of so many different ages, walks of life and interesting stories. Inspired by I introduce you to Humans of Chi. These are small slices of life, thoughts and stories from a select few deeply unique individuals who we are lucky to have as part of our community. We will be sharing these portraits and stories over the next few months.

10 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT CHI…

We strive to curate uniquely beautiful experiences in every class and offer a community focused studio.
We encourage you to show up exactly as you are.
Our mission has nothing to do with making anyone fitter but everything to do with creating an invitation of exploration into a space that welcomes all the messy, the chaotic, the joyful experiences that our days bring and to move with it and through it.
To celebrate and release what we need through the power of music and movement.
To embrace the sweaty, energy shifting, cathartic release that movement brings, so we may make space for all the joy yet to come.

Here are a few photos from the early years…a look back at the first 2 years of Chi J***y at 70 McGee St. Wild to see these photos compared to the studio we know today in image 1. Thank you to this incredible community who keeps this studio going. 🖤

January 25th marked the 12th anniversary of Chi J***y, hard to believe what this studio has become, far beyond anything my imagination could have ever dreamed up. From my small dream and humble start in 2014 at 70 McGee St, I started in one small room that held 4 mats. They were multi coloured, the brand was purple and green and I was a one woman show with my sidekick, the studio greeter and sometimes feet warmer in savasana, Coconut.

My day one vision was to have a full service experience where people could have a semi-private class, complimentary tea and water and no more than 4 people in class for $25 and that’s where the full service started…

In 2016 after 2 years of giving it my all, bootstrapping trying to run a brick and mortar, all while still teaching at other studios and in home private yoga lessons to pay the bills, it was relentlessly hard and no one was showing up. Gutted and exhausted I decided I would give it 6 months more before I would close the Chi J***y studio. And before I knew it and even though I changed nothing, people just started to show up…. and the Chi J***y studio grew to the studio you know today.

Ps. IYKYK slide 7/8 before metrolinx we had a secret garden roof deck where we ran outdoor classes, it was an oasis in the city.

All my gratitude

DIFFERENT DAY, DIFFERENT FLOW…WHICH FLOW CLASS IS RIGHT FOR YOU?!

Everyday is different which means what we need and how we want to move will change on the daily. So, here are 4 of our flow based classes to help you navigate what you need on any given day from mild to wild. 🧘🏽‍♀️➡️😝

SOUL SLOW FLOW 🧘🏾🧘🏽‍♀️🎶
A slower paced flow to release and calm the nervous system. Move the body, breath with more intention and shift your energetic state. Expect a vibey, soulful, moving playlist.

CHI FLOW ☀️🧘🏽‍♀️🎶
The goldilocks of flows, not too fast, not too slow… it’s just right. Offered early am as AWAKEN to start the day or MIDDAY RESET to reset the day. Expect a chilled out playlist.

SLAY + STRETCH 💪🧘🏾‍♂️🎶
The best of both worlds, our fave 30/30 combo. 30 minutes of a heat building flow followed by 30 minutes of a slowed down deep stretch. Expect a split playlist with beats to move you followed by something super chill to zen you out.

SWEAT FLOW 🔥🔥🎶
A power style flow class with a focus on louder music, upbeat playlists and strength building flows to build heat and make you sweat! For a really sweaty, beat driven experience try the AMPED UP version!

Being featured in is a huge honour and one that I am so proud of. Thank you for sharing my day one vision and Chi J***y journey that has been building over the last 12 years. It isn’t an easy road by any means and so much of what small business owners do is done quietly behind the scenes when no one is watching.

This article means so much to me to show the intention and thought behind the original full service studio experience and the incredible crew that bring it to life every single class.

Thank you for reading 🖤
