Two years ago, The Nourishment Co began with a simple post in the Stroud Locals Facebook group — a question about whether people in our little town would be interested in yoga and Pilates classes in the heart of Stroud.
The response was immediate. And from that one post, this beautiful community was born.
Over the past two years, we’ve practised indoors, outdoors, at our first little home on Cowper Street, and now here in the Shudio on Berkeley Street. Together we’ve shared yoga, Pilates, Yogalates, meditation, strength classes, fitness circuits, sound baths, blindfolded experiences, tea meditations, mindful bush walks, sunset classes… and honestly, so much more.
For those who’ve joined me through personal coaching — thank you too. From early morning warm ups walking up Silo Hill, to Reformer Pilates, breathwork, wellbeing coaching, strength and conditioning, and everything in between… it’s been incredibly special to support people not just physically, but holistically.
We’ve also expanded beyond the studio walls — partnering with The Farmer’s Wife Distillery for our Yin & Gin series, and creating private wellness experiences in some truly beautiful homes and spaces with incredible backdrops.
We’ve shared fruit and veggies from the garden.
We’ve eaten cake.
We’ve drunk hundreds of cups of tea.
We’ve laughed, moved, rested, connected, breathed, and grown together.
And somehow… in just two years… we’ve reached over 5000 attendances.
5000 individual moments of people choosing to show up for themselves at The Nourishment Co.
For a small business in a small rural community, that honestly blows my mind.
Especially knowing that around 30–40% of small businesses in Australia don’t make it past year two.
We’ve definitely had some sticky moments along the way — but we’re still here. Still growing. Still learning. Still rocking it.
And that’s because of you.
Thank you for choosing to come to class.
Thank you for supporting this little dream.
Thank you for helping create something so much bigger than yoga or Pilates.
It has truly been an honour and privilege to hold this space for our community.
So here’s to another year together.
I’m here for it.
And I’m here for you.
Happy 2nd Birthday TNC Crew 🤍
Love,
Mark
