Approaching two years.
In just one month we will complete
two full years of existence at Pura Vida here in Chandler, Arizona. I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of
all of us. Just imagine, opening a
business when our economy is suffering.
Starting a “New yoga studio” in a place where several other yoga studios
have already existed for many years. Not
to mention, the amount of local gyms within a five mile radius. Starting a studio that would carry no popular
name or brand, no particular “style of yoga,” and a studio that would be driven
and developed by those who supported it and practiced in it.
Today, all of us refer to Pura Vida
as a community. And it’s become that
because of the people who come to it.
Individuals who are tired of depending on medication, being depressed, overweight,
not sleeping well and not having enough energy to get through the day. Individuals who are more than willing to test
themselves on any level. Individuals who
want to create change in their health and their lives. Individuals who want to make things happen
and aren’t willing to sit at the sidelines.
As a community we believe in the development of inner power
through self knowledge. In other words, we
practice the yoga and we meditate through our practice to learn about
ourselves. To learn about our health,
flexibility, strengths, stamina, habits, our drive and our courage. Our courage to accept where we are and
challenge ourselves to create the change we feel we need in our lives.
One of the things I’m mostly proud
of at Pura Vida is that we’ve never separated anyone. We believe in people using their own
abilities and their potential to get it done.
Whatever it is that they’re after and with whatever experience they have
or don’t have. We simply bring everyone
into the same room and we all get to work.
When I stated earlier that I’m very proud of all of us, I meant
that with all my heart. I believe and
understand that without you, we could never exist. I am appreciative and grateful for the
support you give to us and I value your efforts and dedication to better
yourselves through your practice. I once
heard someone use the analogy of “It’s like a mushroom breaking through
concrete.” And that’s how I see us as a grassroots community. From the bottom of my heart, thank you once
again and God bless you all.
To your health & success
