Celebrating 1 year since the studio was completed! š
Reflecting over the last year, I can't quite believe the many ways this space has already evolved and changed my everyday life.
A year ago when I eagerly opened the doors (with still so many details needing to be completed) I was surprised to find the energy of the space wasn't what I expected. It was new, big and just didn't feel 'lived-in'. But quickly with classes, events and family parties, the building began to breathe. It's a safe space that feels welcoming, that holds a sense of calm for everyone who practices here.
I once had a dream of building my own studio and event space; it's taken creativity, belief, and lots of hard work but because I started journeying on that path, it all came together and in a way that's unique to my personality. It had to be natural, airy and warm, cosy and comforting in design.
The studio has afforded me to work from home but separate from the house, to be surrounded by nature every day, to have a space that best supports what Deeply Practices is and the needs of my clients, to welcome larger groups and meet so many new people in collaborative events.
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this space has also impacted the practice of those that find tranquility, focus and relaxation here. The garden approach and surroundings alone sets the scene for grounding and reconnection.
Little improvements continue to be made as I learn what works best and to ensure that it continues to be a premium retreat from the busy world.
But for now I'm reflecting on all the heartfelt conversations in this space, our shared experiences, late evenings and early mornings I've guided practices or just sat in contemplation, mothers who have practiced yoga with me pregnant and returned to introduce their newborn, people who's lives have changed dramatically, those who walk away pain free, to birthday parties, social firepits, photoshoots and new opportunities.
Thank you to all who bring energy to help make the Studio what it is.
