Namaste!
As I write this letter, I’m looking out my window, watching the trees move in the breeze, birds buzzing by, the rustle of leaves rising and falling as the wind stirs up and then settles. I’ve spent my week at Feathered Pipe Ranch, the yoga retreat center I visit almost every summer. This week has been supremely spacious and abundantly blessed with. nature,
community, yoga, and delicious meals.
The message I have gathered most strongly this week is that the possibility of awareness and connection surround us at all times. Through nature, in our witnessing, listening, and just being. There is this magic of awareness that exists all around us always- but in order to access it, we have to slow down our bodies, unwind our minds, and listen. We have to drop our stories and tune into a different frequency than our everyday hamster wheel
existence.
Yoga gives us tools that help create the right conditions to access a state of loving awareness, connection, and oneness with it all. No grasping or pushing, no judging or shaming, no movement of the mind…just pure open awareness. In this state we are clear- we see and exist in sweet clarity.
However, getting to that place of clarity, at least for me, takes work. It’s not a quick fix- there is nothing we can buy or consume that will get us there, no drink or pill we can take. We have to pause, breathe deep, look honestly at ourselves, feel, cry, release, take stock, and proceed with intention. My teacher Nat says it’s like cleaning out the junk drawer; there’s a lot of stuff in there that we’ve accumulated over the years. It’s good to clean it out, create space, take a new, lighter, cleaner path forward.
There’s a saying that yoga will ruin your life- and honestly, it feels true. It will ruin the life you have, and set you on a new life path forward if you really let it in. I wouldn’t know myself today if it weren’t for yoga. I wouldn’t be sitting here wiring this letter if it weren’t for yoga. I wouldn’t have found my voice and learned how to love and hold space for myself and others if it weren’t for yoga.
I say it all the time- thank god for yoga, and I really mean it.
I sincerely hope that you meet yourself deeply in this life, and that yoga can be of service to you in the quest for that. Thank you for being a part of our sangha, or community.
BIG love and light,
Holly
BIG SHIFTS are coming this month!
What remains amongst the constant change of life is an opportunity to connect, to ourselves others. Connection and support are what get us through life's changes and challenges, including the big changes we have coming up this month and next. Please read this section, so that you don't miss out on this important news.
NEW NON-HEATED WHITEFISH STUDIO UPDATE
Our new studio will open on September 3! (fingers crossed hard, and we really do mean it this time, HA!)
We will have an alternate ROOFTOP schedule for all Whitefish Classes on August 28-30. We need to close our doors to do some final construction. SO...no normal class schedule in Whitefish on August 28-30.
Normal HOT classes resume on August 31. However, our schedule may be slightly altered for Labor Day weekend, so stay tuned.
Our Kalispell studio is going to be open for business as usual for all of this! Maybe this is your chance to go give that space some love.
*If anything changes with any of the above, we will let you know.
WE'RE CHANGING our BOOKING SOFTWARE!
Bye Bye Bye Mindbody!
We've made the tough call to switch from Mindbody to a new software, called Momence. We promise you that this is much more user friendly than what we currently have with Mindbody. AND, we fully acknowledge that change is hard, so bare with us.
Thus, we humbly ask for your patience, grace, and kindness while we navigate the opening of our new space AND a change in software during the same month. This was never the plan, to have both of these shifts happen simultaneously, and yet, here we are.
The official launch date is Thursday, August 15. You don't need to do anything now, or until that date. We will send you an email with full instructions on our launch day, August 15.
It will be simple and straightforward. That said, we also realistically anticipate the normal amount of hiccups, and really value your patience and support here.
NEW NON-HEATED and HOT Whitefish Schedules
I didn't anticipate that our new studio would open in September, AND that we would be doing a change in software all at the same time. But, it really does feel like it all happened as it should have. September is such a perfect time for a new start.
In order to keep ease and consistency a main priority for YOU, our wonderful clients, AND for our team, I have made the decision to keep our current schedules EXACTLY as they are after we open our new space. That's right, our current HOT studio in Whitefish will have the exact same schedule moving forward, even after our new space opens. This way, you can keep attending all your favorite classes and times as they are now.
Our new non-heated schedule is going to be
exciting and fresh! We will post the new non-heated studio schedule by mid-month, so that you can get excited and start signing up for all the new classes and offerings we have in store for you.
PRICE CHANGES HAPPENING SEPT, 1 2024
With the price changes, we are also going to start charging credit card fees of 3%. This will start at the time of our Momence activation, which
is August 15.
You've got one more whole month to get your class packs or buy a year unlimited membership at our current prices. You can get it without CC fees added, if you buy before August 15.
Below is a breakdown of our price increases that will happen starting with our new studio opening in Sept.
Please note that if you ONLY practice in KALISPELL, you will have the option to keep our current rates. If you'd like access our Whitefish location and studio(s) then you will pay the new rates.
