The Only Constant is Change

You know that old saying that when a door closes, a window opens… then closes immediately, but another door opens, the door leads to a window, the window is only open a crack and the door gets stuck and then the original door is in front of you and the key is moving, but it’s not unlocking the door? They often only give you the first little bit of that wisdom.

Not that we ever thought we didn’t have it in us (we are pretty determined little buggers!), but to be honest we probably had no idea what we were signing ourselves up for!! Little did we know we’d go through being flooded in our first week, moving locations twice, each of us having a baby and taking maternity leave, opening and running a second studio, employing and saying goodbye to staff, embarking on a teacher training program, and the icing on the cake, continuing to function during a goddamn GLOBAL PANDEMIC!

There’s a great balance of focus and fun in these sessions. Everyone gets to work as an individual and work on their own strengths and weaknesses, but it’s in a friendly group setting so everyone gets to know everyone. There’s a great sense of familiarity and support in the room when people come together regularly, everyone celebrates their wins and cheers each other on when they’re conquering hard exercises! Who do you think the studio sessions are most suited to? To be honest, almost everyone can benefit from
