Spring News
It has been months since I’ve posted, and don’t think it hasn’t been on my mind. The closing of my home studio left me in a scramble trying to find replacement classes.
Wading through the auditions, and terrible offers to okay offers, I realized how lucky I was at Montavilla to have a kick-ass student body, large classes, and perfect class times. I know, nobody likes to talk about money and yoga, but another realization is that Groupon kills small businesses.
As teachers we are nothing without our creativity. Some of us from that group left this grey town, some had jobs as substitute teachers that turned into regular gigs, others joined brand new ventures or expanded their offerings at other local studios.
I now work with several studios and locations that pay instructors fairly, give teachers a choice in style, and who foster an unpretentious community where yoga fits the individual not the other way around. Not only that, but I am learning constantly in each environment.
I also have seen many of you privately in recent weeks, and for that I thank you. Teaching one-on-one truly makes me a better teacher. All this to say I miss the community at Montavilla, and would love to see you in class sometime. If you haven’t come to any this year, please consider this a personal invitation.
In other news I am about four months pregnant, and my personal practice has become more therapeutic as I ready myself for child birth. Come see my belly sometime!
Namaste,
Fawn
