Dear Yoga Community,
Thank you for supporting my dreams. I never imagined I could create a life this beautiful. I want to start by saying I LOVE teaching yoga. Due to some difficult aspects of business ownership, I am feeling burnt out and in need of a healthy change. I have decided to retire from studio ownership in August. This decision doesn’t come lightly.
Many miracles fell into place for Yoga Roots to come into fruition on my 30th birthday in 2007. Our sacred space is a Divine Gift. One that I do not take for granted. One that will be hard to step away from. After 20+ years of teaching I am amazed at what I’ve been able to accomplish. Still, I feel that there is something else waiting for me.
My next dream involves warmer weather, days spent in the ocean living out my mermaid dreams. Winter retreats in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. I see colorful cloud filled skies and feel warm tropical breezes in my future. This is a fond farewell to the deepest of the winter doldrums, to snow, ice and forced air heat.
It’s being true to myself to admit that I crave growth. I am moving on to create a new adventure that feels right in every part of my body. Something that builds new neural pathways and forces me to problem solve in fresh ways. I can feel inspiration in hibernation, ready to awaken. I teem with creative ideas and look forward to the collaborations manifesting for the future. I still plan on summertime in northern Michigan, and enjoying all four seasons in the six months of June through December.
What happens to the studio and the building? I’m open. I have decided the “when” and the Universe will take care of the “how”. I trust that only the best will unfold for a win-win situation. I own the building. I would consider renting or selling, selling the business, creating a yoga co-op, being open seasonally and any combination thereof. I don’t have the answers now, I am considering all ideas and open to negotiations. I will remain in the question until clear answers reveal themselves.
Thank you for your continued patience and grace with my process.
I love our community dearly.
Infinite gratitude,
Tiffany 🧜♀️💌✨
