Winter/Spring Session 2018: New classes, snowshoeing, sleigh rides, trauma sensitive yoga workshop & oliv tasting room is coming to the studio!

Hello everyone! Happy New Year!
I read something very moving that I wanted to share with you. Life is so very precious. And when we are faced with life changing circumstances, it changes us from the inside out. This woman wrote a letter that is a great reminder to not sweat the small stuff. And how our health & life is such an incredible gift.
Holly Butcher, 27, died from Ewing’s sarcoma and left behind a letter which she asked her family to post on her Facebook account after her death, according to News.com.au. Butcher wrote about enjoying life to the fullest and talked frankly about her mortality as well as the things she wished she had more time to do, like raise her own family.
“It’s a strange thing to realize and accept your mortality at 26 years young,” she wrote. “It’s just one of those things you ignore. The days tick by and you just expect they will keep on coming; until the unexpected happens.”
“That’s the thing about life,” she continued. “It is fragile, precious and unpredictable and each day is a gift, not a given right. I’m 27 now. I don’t want to go.”
“Be grateful for each day you don’t have pain and even the days where you are unwell with man flu, a sore back or a sprained ankle, accept it is s— but be thankful it isn’t life threatening and will go away,” she wrote. “Whine less, people! .. And help each other more.”
“You might have got caught in bad traffic today, or had a bad sleep because your beautiful babies kept you awake, or your hairdresser cut your hair too short,” she wrote. “Your new fake nails might have got a chip, your boobs are too small, or you have cellulite on your arse and your belly is wobbling.”
“Let all that s— go,” she urged. “I swear you will not be thinking of those things when it is your turn to go.”
She offered a reminder to not spend time thinking about small issues, but to focus on experiencing moments with family and friends.
Her letter really put things into perspective for me. And recently, with our own family emergency, I see even more clearly the beauty of each day given to me & the time with those I love. For me, this new year is all about enjoying the little things (that are actually big things!) & spending time with family & friends.
Thank you to the studio family for all the constant love & support, during good times and hard times. There are so many of you that have been through so much and I am so in awe of your strength & kindness & feel very lucky to know you.
I am so so grateful for all of you.
Love & light xo
