A little real life behind Rooted Lotus Yoga. 🤍🌿
I want to share something from the heart, not for sympathy or excuses, but for understanding.
I hear your concerns. I understand the frustrations surrounding schedule changes, cancellations, and the growing pains of this little studio. Your feelings are valid, and I never want anyone to feel unheard.
But I also want to remind everyone that behind this business is one person trying incredibly hard to keep it all together.
I’m a mom of four, a wife, a teacher, and a business owner. I’m teaching nine classes a week, navigating staffing challenges, managing the behind-the-scenes responsibilities, and trying to keep this space alive.
And outside these walls? Life doesn’t stop.
There are children to raise, bills to pay, meals to make, appointments, school activities, a home to manage, and a family depending on me. Even when I’m sick, exhausted, or overwhelmed, those responsibilities don’t disappear.
Financially, this season has been incredibly difficult. There are people I owe, obligations I’m working to fulfill, and decisions that weigh heavily on me every single day. I’m trying to keep a business afloat while also making sure my children have everything they need and a roof over their heads.
I’m not sharing this to dismiss anyone’s concerns or avoid accountability. I’m sharing it because sometimes we forget there’s a human being behind the business.
I cannot fix everything overnight. I cannot create more hours in a day or be in multiple places at once. But I can promise that I care deeply, I’m listening, and I’m doing everything I can with the resources I have.
Yoga is supposed to be a place of compassion, patience, and grace. I hope we can continue extending those things to one another, even when things aren’t perfect.
I’m still learning. Still showing up. Still trying.
And some days, that takes everything I have.
Thank you to those who continue to support this space, offer kindness, and recognize the heart behind it all.
With love and gratitude,
Jen 🤍
