Anniversary Yoga Class
Happy Anniversary!!!
6 Years Yoga on the South Side…
It’s been six years since I opened the door to our first yoga room in the Arts Clayton Gallery on Jonesboro’s Main Street…many of you might still remember our charming little first studio with a big dream in my heart to bring YOGA to the southside of Atlanta to build a vibrant and inspiring community of health lovers. Our hearts connected because we all wanted a place where we can unwind, learn and grow, discover who we truly are on the inside, heal our wounds, aches and pains and connect with each other.
Thousands of classes later, in our third location in Eagle’s Landing we are now celebrating our SIXTH year of yoga, fitness and health offerings. Classes and events not only shape our bodies but certainly raise awareness, teach a mindful lifestyle, and challenge us to make better choices and broaden our horizon, as well as allowing us to find community and healing with each other on many levels of need. These have been the foundation of our service to you, because ultimately we are all in same boat.
We keep learning our lessons and we keep growing. It’s not always easy to stay centered and grounded in a challenging and busy world, but just as we keep practicing diligently on our yoga mats, we show up to practice every day, and our hearts fill up with passion for life and all the goodness that surrounds us every day. We just need to open our eyes and see the beauty and light all around us. The focus shifts and wellbeing can enter our lives.
This is how we want to live…with passion. If we discover that all this is already within us, we can relax and let go of the suffering that all of us have to face at times.
Many of you have found your way through our doors, some passed by and many stayed. We are grateful for each student who came and took a little piece of wisdom with them after class. This has always been and still is my main objective here at SSY. I am proud to uphold a standard of yoga teaching that is safe, compassionate, challenging, inspiring and often surprising. I promise to not compromise the quality and excellence and authenticity of my teachings in a world where it is so easy and quick to loose sight of the priorities.
After two teacher trainings within the last eighteen months our teaching team has grown proudly to nine amazing yoga teachers who share their passion, love and personal experience of yoga with all of you. My deep deep gratitude goes out to Susan, Lara, Sabrina, Pam, Gwyn, Angela, Kim and Rebekah who bravely embarked on their own teaching journey and it is my absolute joy and honor to keep mentoring them and watch them bloom into the most beautiful spirits that they have become. We have together become a “rainbow of light” and that is a gift I cherish every day…
We all are here to hold space for you, allow you to have the room and time to grow…we are here to connect and inspire, on every level : physically, mentally and spiritually.
So I am toasting US today and hope to see all of you at our
ANNIVERSARY YOGA CLASS
on Saturday the 15th of August at 10:45am
This is our gift to all of our loyal students. Newbies are so welcome to come too, be invited to experience the community and positive inspiration. We want to celebrate together and be more than grateful for this special community of “yoga lovers and more” which has grown gracefully and consistently over the past six years.
We are stronger than ever and are looking forward to many many more years of South Side Yoga here in Stockbridge.
Please share this with anyone who you know who might be interested to come and celebrate. Please bring your friends, family members and co-workers, anyone who is dear to you heart…we can’t wait to see you!!!
With gratitude and happiness from Emme and the SSY team
