Lisa Ray Instagram – Crossing the finish line of launching my latest online course this past week felt like stepping into a new universe. It made me think of the “beginning line”. When Lisa and I (with the guidance of our teacher Annette) first laid the foundation for our yoga studio 15 years ago, we couldn’t have envisioned the profound impact it would have. We dreamt of more than just a space; we yearned to build a sanctuary—a haven where people could find not just physical, but also emotional and spiritual safety. Deep within, we were fueled by this intention, despite not knowing what the future held. That leap of faith blossomed into a transformative space that has touched countless lives and opened unanticipated doors of healing and self-discovery. Today, even though we are no longer physically connected to the studio, its soulful energy and intention continue to resonate, evolve, and manifest new beginnings. As I clicked the “Publish” button and the words “Course Published Successfully” illuminated my screen, my mind wandered back to the years I spent building my yoga studio. Each evening, I would see faces light up with a mix of exhaustion and pure joy after class—it was the highlight of my day. Moving from that intimate, physical space to the digital realm seemed like venturing into uncharted territory. I’ve always thrived on the tangible energy of a room full of people in sync, so diving into the online world felt like learning a new language. But this transition turned into so much more than just adapting to a new platform. It became a new dimension of my mission, offering a way to reach people beyond the four walls of my studio. Suddenly, the once unfamiliar territory of online coaching and courses transformed into my new stage—a place to continue my lifelong passion for guiding others on their holistic wellness journey. 😮💪 As I celebrated this monumental shift, gratitude flooded over me. I’ve come so far, and so have we, in how we communicate, learn, and nurture our souls. Here is to navigating this beautiful, complex digital landscape and finding new ways to bring health and happiness into our lives. Drop a ✨ if the studio in any way changed your life!
