It’s hard to believe that we’ve been open for 60 days. As I sit here reflecting on these past two months, I am filled with so much gratitude. What started as a vision, a dream, has unfolded into something truly special—a space where connection, growth, and healing happen every single day.
When I first envisioned 11Exhale Yoga Studio, I knew it had to be more than just a place for people to practice yoga. It had to be a community, a sanctuary where people could feel seen, supported, and safe. I dreamed of creating a space where yogis of all levels could come together, breathe together, and grow together, knowing that yoga is as much about inner transformation as it is about physical movement.
The Journey So Far: Building Milestones Together
Looking back, the past 60 days have been nothing short of transformative—not just for me, but for everyone who has walked through the doors of 11Exhale. Every class, every shared breath, and every smile has added to the energy that fills this space.
Here are a few of the milestones that stand out to me:
- The First Class: I will never forget the energy of our very first class. The studio was buzzing with anticipation, and as we moved through our flow, it felt like we were all creating something powerful together. That was the moment I knew that 11Exhale would be more than just a studio—it would be a community.
- Our First Signature Sessions: From the deep calm of our Sound Baths to the personalized guidance during our Yoga Posture Clinics, these moments have been some of the most beautiful experiences to witness. It’s incredible to see people come in feeling stressed or overwhelmed and leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and at peace. We’re looking forward to hosting our first Reiki Share & Healing Circle, and I know it will be just as transformative.
- Welcoming New Members: Every new face that joins our classes brings fresh energy into the space, and it’s been amazing to see our community grow. We’ve shared laughs, challenges, and breakthroughs, and the bonds we’re building are exactly what I had hoped for when I first dreamed of 11Exhale.
- Building a Team: I am so grateful for the incredible teachers and staff who have joined me on this journey. They bring their own passion, knowledge, and heart to every class they lead, and their presence has helped make 11Exhale feel like home for so many. Together, we are creating something meaningful—something that goes beyond just yoga.
- Our Kids Yoga Class: Seeing the little ones practice yoga has been one of my favorite parts of the last 60 days. Watching children explore movement, mindfulness, and breath with joy reminds me of the simplicity and purity of yoga. It’s not just about the poses—it’s about connection, with ourselves and with others.
Looking Ahead: Continuing the Vision
While we’ve achieved so much in these first 60 days, this is just the beginning. There is so much more I want to create and share with this beautiful community. In the months to come, I’m excited to continue expanding our offerings, hosting more events, and deepening the sense of connection we’re building together.
We have big dreams for 11Exhale. From more transformative workshops to exciting new collaborations, my vision for this space continues to grow. I want this to be a place where everyone feels welcome—where each time you walk in, you know that you’re part of something bigger than yourself.
Thank You for Being a Part of This Journey
None of this would be possible without each of you—our incredible community. Whether you’ve attended one class or many, your energy, presence, and commitment to your practice are what make 11Exhale feel so alive. You inspire me every day to keep pushing forward, to keep dreaming bigger, and to keep holding space for this journey we’re all on together.
To everyone who has walked through our doors—thank you. From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful for the trust you’ve placed in 11Exhale and in me. I can’t wait to see what the next 60 days, and beyond, hold for all of us.
With so much love and gratitude,
