Opening words
Between the new class venues, my first artisan market stall and teaching my first all-male yoga class (🙌), I’ve had a busy few weeks!
But - and I don’t mind being honest with you dear reader - the challenge of starting up again has not been an easy one. Class bookings are down, often failing to cover the cost of renting the venues. I’ve taken no salary since starting Catherine’s Place in June and it’s starting to bite. But asking for help doesn’t come naturally. Can you help? The smallest acts make a big difference - whether it’s sharing my classes with someone you know, booking onto a class or my first retreat, donating to my GoFundMe page, or leaving a review on my new Google business page. It all helps me keep teaching inclusive, judgement-free yoga classes, running creative clubs and retreats for neurodiverse and introverted people like me, and building this kind and wonderful community.
Join us in-person and online and feel part of something special…
