All the Feels!

I’m all in my feels today as I approach my next Pilates venture!! Just over a month ago I passed off the keys and ownership to my studio in Lexington, KY. It was a labor of love and I am so proud of what I was able to build there. I am so grateful for the clients, turned friends who showed up and supported me. I am often told - ‘that was brave of you to move and open a business with no clients’. At the time I didn’t think of it that way - I just knew failure wasn’t an option.

Now I’ve had the past month of packing, moving, and getting ready for a new studio. I’ve missed Pilates!!! I have only managed to take four Pilates classes in March and maybe that’s a good thing. Some times we can get in a rut of doing the same thing day in and out or week after week without much thought. Taking this sabbatical if you will reminded me why I love Pilates, why my body needs it, and has gotten me even more excited to be back in a studio teaching and working out myself.

In one day I’ll be taking ownership at of a Pilates Studio in Surprise, AZ. The space is beautiful, the equipment is fabulous and from what I’ve seen so far the clients are my kind of people, too. As this hand off approaches - I am feeling all the things. I’m excited! I’m a bit nervous. I’m ready. In a lot of ways it feels like the first day of school at a new school … lots of anticipation mixed with a little bit of I hope they like me! I’ve already picked out my ‘Back to Pilates’ first day outfit, too!

As I look forward to my first day and the beginning of this new chapter, I am reminded I am grateful to be doing something I love and miss when I’m off. I’m sure there will be ups and downs but I’m ready to SHINE!
