It feels as though we’re all emerging from a deep sleep – though perhaps it wasn’t such a restful one. What a strange time. All I can say with conviction is that I’m so grateful to live here right now. Yes, this time has also had its challenges: fear, uncertainty, loneliness, insecurity … however, we have so many blessings to count as well and the more we focus on them, the more this will manifest.
Having said that, our little yoga studio has become a Covid-19 casualty. We were all set to open on June 13th (as per Stage 2 guidelines) only to recently find out that our sub-lease will not be renewed after June 30 as the space will have a new tenant. So we are closing our doors. Again.
It was only 12 months ago we had to leave Thomas Street and find a new space. At this stage there are no plans for a new studio. Yoga Circle, like the phoenix, will transmute once more, but that is yet to be revealed.
The Good News: We will open for 2 weeks from Saturday June 13th to Saturday June 27th with the same timetable as before.
This will give you an opportunity to have a well needed yoga fix, use your passes, buy any props you might want and say our Hellos and Goodbyes.
Unused passes can be refunded with the teacher you purchased the pass from, so please come to class to arrange that or contact the teacher (mobiles below).
We can have 7 people per class according to requirements, so mats will be adequately spaced. You can book your spot by texting the teacher prior to class (with 100% commitment to be there please). Phone numbers below. Otherwise turn up and see – I don’t think it will be a problem, as our class numbers tend to be small.
There won’t be any props in the studio to use, so please bring your own (or buy ours, as they will all be for sale – prices below). Pre-Covid mats, blocks, straps, meditation cushions etc.all for sale.
I’d like to thank all the Yoga Circle teachers for their presence and dedication over the years. It’s a big commitment to show up every week and hold space, not knowing who will come and to be your best self. Thankyou for this circle around, Gail, Kara, Carolina, Adhi and Cam.
And to YOU. Thankyou for showing up and being a part of our yoga community. For making the effort and sharing your energy with us together, in flight, in yoga. The beauty and magnificence of this practice is our exploration together, as we move together with sacred intent. There is so much more intensity and power in practicing together. A sense of belonging and community, even in silence. I will miss you all.
I’m sure our paths will cross again. We love teaching too much to walk away. As our plans emerge, I will keep everyone informed where to find us. So everyone, let’s see you on the mat in the studio for the second half of this month: Saturday June 13th to June 27th.
Much love to all
Vivianne, Kara, Gail, Adhi, Carolina & Cam
