Never say never......

If you had asked me five years ago if I would ever take a class with Baron Baptiste, I would have said Never! Who wants to sweat like that and do all of those vinyasas?? Yet here I am, the only certified Baptiste instructor in SC. If you had asked me last year if I ever wanted to own a studio I would have said Never! Who needs that responsibility, risk and headache? Yet here I am, opening a power yoga studio in downtown Charleston. I guess what they say is true, Never say Never!

When I look back on the path my life has taken these past 10 years, with all the ups and downs, stops and starts, it has all led me here, to this space, where I am about to embark on the scariest, most exciting, insane yet oddly sane thing I have ever done. Its as if every decision I made, even the most ludicrous ones, every person I have met, even those who knocked me down, every job I had and even lost, was all necessary to bring me here. And I could not be more blessed!!

Even though I didn't realize until recently Charleston Power Yoga was my dream, everything has been falling into place to show me that this is where I am meant to be, and this is my path. Isn't it ironic the things that break our heart the most when they don't work out are often the best things that have ever happened to us because they open doors that we would have never seen. I guess its true that its never to late to be the person we might have been.

Thank you Charleston yogis for allowing me to teach these past three years and making such a huge impact on my life, and letting me know that this new studio is possible. And thank lululemon addicts for bringing Sarah and I together to form this dream team and for letting us know that you love us and will support us wherever we are. We are so grateful and can't wait to share our vision with you!

Hola my sweet friends and yogis!!
I am so happy to announce the opening of Charleston Power Yoga! It is a dream come true and I can't wait to share the love with y'all as we create community and flow for all in downtown Charleston! Yoga has been a constant in my life... something that has challenged me daily and made me face my self at the worst of times and the best, carried me through happiness, sadness, relationships, jobs, and yet through all of it kept my attention the whole way... kept me focused, humbled, with ego in check!! ... quite an amazing physical and life practice I should say :) I can't wait to see all of you on the mat again real soon- so please stay tuned for updates as we open and where we will be movin' and groovin' until then!
~Om Shanthi ... Namaste'~
