The Light Is Already Inside You

We often search for change outside ourselves — new routines, new goals, new inspiration.

But yoga reminds us of something simpler:

The light is already inside you.

Perhaps this month, take a moment to pause and reflect:

• What is already growing in me?

• Where am I being too hard on myself?

• What small step would help my light shine a little brighter?

• What would happen if I trusted the process a little more?

Chaitanya Speaks:

Take a slow breath.

Notice where you are.

You may already be closer than you think.

One Year Since Our Soft Launch - another celebration

A Space, A Community, A Practice

A year ago, we quietly opened our doors.

It was not the official opening — that would come a bit later — but it was the moment we began teaching classes to the public. The pressure was there! Pay you business rates, rent, buy heaters, get the blankets! The walls were going up, there was no toilet facilities - much of what you see today did not yet exist. But you came and practised. And trusted the process - thank you for being there for us.

That was our soft launch — and it marked the beginning of what LoveYour.Studio has become.

One year later, the space is alive. The rooms are complete. The community has grown. And, perhaps most importantly, the intention remains the same: to create a place for honest practice and meaningful connection.

We can almost make a joke about anniversaries — from the original October Yoga1 anniversary when we first established our studio, to the new lease in March, the soft opening in April, and the official opening in July. It seems we love to celebrate — and perhaps that’s exactly how it should be. Life is worth celebrating as often as possible, especially the simple things: our breath, our stability, and the quiet moments of growth along the way.

So...

April Celebratory Challenge

To celebrate one year since our soft launch, we are launching the April Challenge for our Unlimited members.

This is a gentle invitation to deepen your practice and reconnect with your rhythm. Show up, explore different classes, and enjoy the variety of what the studio now offers.

To make this even more meaningful, we are also offering:

Celebratory Upgrade Opportunity

For this month only, members can upgrade to Unlimited for £75 per month, locked for 12 months, with easy cancellation.

This is our way of saying thank you to those who want to commit more deeply to their practice.

New Members April Challenge

We are also welcoming new members with a special April initiative.

If you join in April and attend 25 sessions, you will receive the value of your membership back as a discount on your next membership or pack.

It’s a simple idea: Come often. Build your practice.And let us thank you for showing up.

Bringing the World Closer Together

A New Cultural Series

To celebrate our first year, we are also launching a new cultural initiative:

Bringing the World Closer Together

LoveYour.Studio is home to people from many cultures, backgrounds, and life journeys. We would love to create small gatherings where members of our community can share music, food, traditions, and stories.

Our first event will take place on:

18 April – Portuguese Music Evening

Marcio and Isabel — both members of the studio — will present 40 minutes of Portuguese music, followed by a relaxed gathering.

There will be:

• A glass of wine or orange juice

• Portuguese custard tarts (of course!)

• Cake, tea, and conversation

Nothing formal — just community, culture, and shared moments.

This is the beginning of what we hope becomes a regular series exploring culture in Rushmoor, right here in our studio.

New Classes Alert

We are also delighted to welcome Cathy’s new class:

Restorative & Sound

🕖 Tuesdays at 7:30 PM

This calming class combines restorative yoga and sound, creating space for deep relaxation and nervous system reset.

And there is more to come — new classes will be introduced throughout this month and next as we continue growing carefully and thoughtfully.

Teacher Training — Foundation & Integrative

This year also marks the beginning of an important new chapter:

Our Foundation & Integrative Teacher Training Programmes are launching soon. We are also bringin our Breathwork & Mindfulness (or Pranayama & Dharana) course in September and a Personal Development through yoga so we find ourselves in the world.

These programmes are designed differently.

We believe teacher training should:

• take time

• encourage personal growth

• develop understanding, not just technique

• support long-term development

Students who complete our training will have:

• Opportunities to teach within the studio

• Ongoing mentorship

• Experience in a real studio environment

• Continued development beyond certification

In addition, graduates who teach with us will not need to pay membership fees — teaching becomes part of their continued learning and involvement.

We strongly believe in investing locally and growing teachers within the community.

For this reason, we will not prioritise applicants who have completed only short intensive courses, as we believe meaningful transformation takes time and consistent practice.

Yoga is not something learned in a few weeks. It is something lived.

One Year On

One year ago, we opened quietly.

Today, the space is warmer, fuller, and more alive.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

We are just getting started.
