I can’t quite believe it, but Pause is nine years old today!
It brings me so much joy to think about how many people have stepped into one of our studios over those nine years.
In that time we’ve made it through a pandemic, took our whole studio online, created an on demand platform (remember Pause at Home?!)….moved into two new homes in Leyton and South Woodford and said goodbye to our original Francis Road studio not once but twice 💔
Before Pause even existed, I started teaching weekly yoga classes alongside my corporate job at ten years ago. Thank you Nicola and James for giving me the space to grow and learn. Then, after I got made redundant (best thing that ever happened to me) I took the plunge and opened our first studio on Francis Road.
When we had our open day a few weeks ago it was so lovely to see so many faces that have been with us from the very beginning. I don’t ever take that for granted, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
We have a wonderful team of amazing teachers across both sites, our Leyton reception team and an amazing core team (Jules, Isha and Haleema) who work super hard to keep things running smoothly every day.
Pause has always been about creating spaces where people leave feeling better than they arrived and will continue to long into the future.
Thank you for an amazing 9 years to all our clients, teachers, staff, family and friends who have supported Pause and myself over the years.
