Nicole's July Newsletter

Hi %FIRSTNAME%,

It's monthly newsletter time. I send this email with updates, events and announcements at the beginning of each month. Scroll through the email to see if anything stands out.

But first - what I've been loving...

Winter Hikes (& Forest Bathing), Sweet Treats, Cool Fungi, Camellias & Fluff Butt.

Studio News

As the winter evenings get colder, it can be hard to find the motivation to leave the comfort of home. That’s why I want to say a heartfelt thank you to each of you. Your commitment, consistency and dedication to your practice have been amazing, and it’s such a pleasure seeing our wonderful community continue to show up week after week.

Many classes are now filling quickly, with waitlists becoming more common, so if you have a favourite class, I encourage you to book your mat early to avoid missing out.

I’ve also made the studio extra cosy for winter—with soft lighting, beautiful essential oils gently diffusing, and carefully chosen playlists to either lift your energy or help you completely relax. My hope is that from the moment you walk through the door, you feel warm, welcome, and able to leave the outside world behind for an hour that’s just for you.

Essential Oils we diffused this month in the studio

This month I have been diffusing Shinrin - Yoku (Forest Bathing Blend) in the studio and had so many comments of how great it smells.

I do love hiking in winter and was so excited when this new blend came out. Research now concludes that the ancient Japanese practice of ‘Shinrin-yoku’ or forest bathing has healing benefits to both our physical and mental health. Retreating to the inner sanctum of the trees is now scientifically proven to relieve stress, reduce blood pressure and boost our immune defences. 

 Specially formulated to bring the power of nature into our homes, Shinrin-Yoku Forest Bathing Blend not only features the aromas of the great outdoors, but essential oils with the same chemical constituents you inhale when you walk amongst the trees

Oils in this blend include Lemon, Magnolia, Patchouli, Cardamom, Siberian Fir, Hinoki, Cypress, Lavandin, Pink Grapefruit, Geranium & Petitgrain essential oils.

Purchase here wholesale, plus check out all my roller blends.

Spotify Playlists

I have always loved music and really enjoy putting a playlist together for both Yoga and Pilates. I think it really sets the vibe for the class. Here is the link to my playlists if you want to listen at home while you practice, or just to chill to!

Live Zoom Yoga on Pause for Winter

The Online Yoga is on pause for Winter and I will reschedule when the weather gets warmer, and I can use my outdoor Yoga deck again.

New Cancellation Policy was sent out last month. In case you missed it, have a read...

Due to the growing demand for classes and the increasing number of waitlisted members, I will be updating my cancellation policy effective immediately.

To help ensure that as many members as possible have the opportunity to attend classes, cancellations must now be made at least 12 hours prior to the class start time.

As many of my classes currently operate with waitlists, late cancellations often don’t provide enough notice for another member to take the available spot. Introducing a 12-hour cancellation window allows waitlisted members sufficient time to adjust their schedules and attend class.

As a small studio, this policy also helps me manage class numbers more effectively and continue providing the highest quality experience for everyone.

I understand that unexpected circumstances can arise and appreciate your understanding and support as I implement this change.

Thank-you for your ongoing support of my small studio. Your consideration helps ensure everyone has the opportunity to practice.
