A NEW YEAR NOTE FROM JAMES

Dearest Garuda family,

As the sun sets on another year, I’ve been sitting quietly and reflecting on the incredible journey we’ve all shared. My heart is just overflowing with gratitude for this community. Garuda has always been more than just a method to me; it is a living, breathing family, and seeing it flourish across the globe this year has been a moving experience.

It’s been a year of beautiful horizons. I’ve spent so much time traveling and teaching abroad, and every time I step into a new studio in a far-flung corner of the world, I am met with the same warmth and dedication. It’s a reminder that movement is a language we all speak, no matter where we are.

While I’ve been away a lot, my heart is always tied to our roots. It makes me so happy to see our London studio buzzing with life. We’ve had so many wonderful new teachers join us this year, bringing fresh energy and soul to our London home.

For those who have visited the Garuda Retreat lately, you’ve seen how functionally busy we’ve been! I find myself drawn there more and more — it’s become a true sanctuary for me, and I’ve loved spending so much of my time there, working and moving alongside you.

I’m not slowing down just yet, though! My bags are practically always half-packed because the coming year is already looking full of new travels and retreats. I can’t wait to see your faces, to guide you through new flows, and to keep expanding what we believe is possible for our bodies and minds.

Thank you for your trust, your sweat, and your spirit. You are the reason Garuda breathes.

Wishing you a fluid, vibrant, and peaceful New Year.

With so much love,
James 💗xx
