Shakti Love Notes

We are always growing. I love that! And the more I grow, the more I recognize how important it is for us all to share what we're going through.

So these Love Notes are a space for me to share with you each week-- about the studio, my life, how our community is growing.
When a moment glimmers, take notice.

I've lost count of all the times I've laid in Shakti's studio room and cried.

We can add last Saturday to that list.

I went to the studio for some solo movement, and when I finished I turned the music up loud, felt the sun land on my skin as it shone through the window, took a deep breath, and the tears came - gently.

I've been very *in my feels* the last few weeks about Shakti Athens and all she means to me.

We turn 4 next week (!!!!) and what often feels like the regular every day survival feels in this moment like an invitation to pause and celebrate.

Soak it up.

It's so easy for me to forget to soak it up.

It's so easy for my work to feel like my job and I often forget to remember all the lives this place has touched, transformed, offered a haven to-- including my own. I often forget to remember that this work matters. Which is ironic because I created this place in order to do work that matters.

When I do pause to remember, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and wonder.

Thank you. Thank you for your time, for your energy, for your patience, for your care, for your support. Thank you for making 4 years a possibility and for trusting us along the way.

This is a moment that glimmers.

That we are here. You and me. Together. In a community that we created alongside one another by choosing to show up. That our community continues to grow and evolve because we all continue to show up. That you choose to be here. That we exist together at all.

Let's take notice.

What else deserves some noticing in your life?
What's glimmering and begging for your celebration?
What can you do to honor that?

Our birthday is next Monday, March 1, and we have *free* classes all day in studio & online. All online classes are available ON DEMAND for 7 days, so sign up for all of them and practice with us for free all week. Some throw-back teachers will be joining alongside our current team, and we can't wait to celebrate with you! We will also have some membership specials (and we never do specials anymore!), so stay tuned!

Thank you for being part of this glimmering moment. I love you.
