Hi, it's just me. Literally.
I used to find tremendous comfort in hiding behind the proverbial "us/we" of Heady Heart. I've never liked to be in the spotlight and always found it more comfortable lifting others up over putting myself out there. Now, there isn't anybody else to hide behind.
If you've been with me since the beginning, you know how things have changed. With the help of friends, family and the community we built something beautiful. Rising operating costs, drops in class attendance and teachers stepping away from the studio plus my personal, unresolved wellness battle all created a perfect storm for change.
Usher in the age of "It is what it is."
I decided to get a job outside the studio to counterbalance my medical expenses. Since I could't keep up with the cost increase at my first location, I moved the studio to a less sexy, but cheaper location. It was hard to let all that sweat and hard work go, but I knew it was necessary.
My health declined further when I thought I'd be better and I couldn't keep up holding space and teaching several days a week. Again, I made a hard decision and stopped offering regular yoga classes.
I don't blame myself or anyone else for how this journey has twisted and turned. I just know that I'm not ready to give up. I've been trying to visualize what's right for me and how I can still serve our community and foster it's growth.
I've accepted that I can't really know when I'll be back to running 100% or that I have yet to see a clear picture in my mind what this all looks like. I'm also fully aware that how it all works out is not in my control. But I'm here and I hope you'll be here with me too.
Big Love,
H
