Where and how do I even BEGIN to sum up 2023? My heart is bursting with gratitude as a write this — we have met so many goals and fulfilled so many dreams this past year.
Over the course of 2023, we improved our communications, went a little more eco-friendly (thanks, Danni!), upgraded and added equipment and sound instruments, did 2 yoga challenges (winter and summer), welcomed new teachers to our team, certified some Barre teachers, finished a Yoga Teacher Training led by me (my first!) through our newly formed Fire Horse Academy of Yoga, started our student spotlight series and class clubs, had many speaking engagements about yoga/entrepreneurship, expanded our blog and online content library, became a founding studio of Sustainable Asana Yoga Foundation (SAYF), added loads of private students, participated in a meditation immersion, held a Burnout Series, a Partner Yoga class, a Tarot workshop and a Sound Journey, and an Ayurveda clinic, added an aerial hammock for private sessions, hit the larger tri-state media multiple times, added cleaning staff, and donated over $1500 of yoga, mats, gift certificates, and hygiene items through our Seva projects.
This year, we’re rolling out our Referral Program (!!), completing some trainings for ourselves, finishing out YTT for one student, planning an International Day of Yoga Event at Fairview Stables (my little farm!), trialing a pre-teen class, planning another Sound Journey, looking at hosting some ‘series’ special classes, and just generally so excited to help you all expand your practice.
Thank you, Fire Horse Yogis, for supporting our little studio and the teachers who lead you. None of this would be possible without your support. Stay with us and stay tune — we’ve got so much planned for 2024 and we are so happy to have you along for the ride. {Sam}
