One of our lovely Yogabombers sent this to me today. This reminds me of why I love Yogabomb and the community that we have built. I am truly grateful for every yogi who has rolled out their mat at the studio or, more recently, at home joining one of our online sessions

I cannot wait until the doors can be reopened and we can enjoy the space together again, until then, stay safe

Much love

“I don’t really do social media other than pictures of the kids and acro, but having watched Lou battle with the technology to deliver an amazing yoga class today, I want to thank her and the team for being there all through this crisis. You’re continuing to keep me sane.

Anyone that knows me well knows I’ve had a challenging 12 months. Throughout all of it Yogabomb has been my safe place, somewhere to lose the plot when needed, without judgement and with unfailing support from the amazing community there.

I was so anxious when the studio closed for lockdown, worried that I’d lose what I’ve come to depend upon so heavily, but 2 months in, have to say I was worrying about nothing.
Of course I miss physically being with everyone (and the heat), but I’m quite liking the option of turning off the video and practicing where no-one can see that I look like a porcupine. My practice has surprisingly improved in a lot of ways – I’m listening more to instruction and my own body, although struggling to quiet my mind ☹.

My class choice has been determined by what fits around family, and I wanted to particularly thank those whose classes I’ve made it to…
Lou for reminding me to breathe
Clare for helping me chill – I’m beginning to like yin 😊
Dora for making me think about my alignment and listen to my body when it says stop. Astonishingly I now do
Marci for helping me stay flexible and the chakra cleansing… I think you’re psychic!
Becs for the abs…
Tracy, Emel and Caitlin I’ll try harder to get to your classes too.

I’ve also realised that yoga without YB people is just exercise for me… and I can’t wait for the day we can practice together again in person. I miss the community.

And I really want the studio to survive this crisis. Lou and her team are doing an amazing job of holding things together, but they really need our financial support to help everyone who has lost so much of their income survive (including Lou who has had no income for months).

I suspect Lou’s going to hate me for saying this, but my beautiful friend has worked so, so hard to create her amazing studio and support so many of us, and I want it to be there when we’re all allowed back.
Please support the on-line classes through Mindbody, or donate if you can when using the YouTube ones. They’re depending on us now, just as we depend on them”.
