This past week was a BIG week at BL!! We had our monthly manager meeting and our bi-annual staff meeting both on Tuesday. As you might imagine, a lot of prep goes into these meetings to keep this big ship we call BL running smoothly!! One of the things Chris and I have done in conjunction with these staff meetings is to assign a word that represents our theme for the meeting and for the upcoming months. So this meetings WORD was MOMENTUM!! We thought it was a great word to describe the positive motion of BL these days. When I looked up the actual definition of MOMENTUM it was “the force that keeps an object moving.” Love that!! In the case of BL the force is two-fold; our amazing staff and our wonderful students. The staff create momentum by showing up every day to consistently provide great classes, massages, facials, and workshops, all as students are greeted and taken care of by our welcoming front desk staff. Our students add to this MOMENTUM by showing up to take classes, get massages and facials, attend workshops and purchase retail. Together we have created this amazing MOMENTUM to make 2024 the best year ever at BL!!
As part of our response to this amazing MOMENTUM, we are adding more classes. First of the year we added a Slow Flow Blend with Claudia on Mondays at 430 pm and a Weight Training with Crystal on Thursdays at 6 pm. You guys already told us how much you appreciated both of these classes by showing up!! So we are adding more. Shawn will be teaching a second Slow Flow Blend Wednesdays at 4:30 pm starting January 24th and then we are adding a couple more Better Backs classes at a whole new time slot. Thursdays at 11:15 will be a regular Better Backs class that I will be teaching and then Monday at 11:15 we will be bringing back Better Backs on the Wall which Claudia will be leading. Both classes will start the week of January 22nd!
Also, for those of you who are newer to us, I am offering a FREE workshop on Sunday, January 21st from 3-4 pm called Yoga 101. We created this workshop to make students feel more comfortable with their yoga experience. We go through the logistics of a yoga class so that you know what to expect, we go over and get to practice the breathing we use in yoga, and then we spend the last ½ of the workshop familiarizing students with common postures. Everyone is welcome. Members and non-members alike so maybe invite that friend or spouse who has been reluctant to try yoga. Hardest part is walking through the front door but then once they’re in and more comfortable with what to expect, they can reap the many benefits of a regular yoga practice.
So there you go…great MOMENTUM taking place at BL and we are so appreciative of each and every one of you who contribute to this positive force!!
