May’s Invitation: A Season for Studio Owners to Reflect and Rise

May has always felt like a threshold month to me. There’s something in the air — a softness, a return of light, and this quiet invitation to begin again. But for many of us, especially around Mother's Day, May also carries layers. Underneath the blooming flowers and longer days, there’s a hum of joy, remembrance, and sometimes loss.

For me, May is deeply personal. On the night of May 13th into the early hours of Mother’s Day 2018, I lost my sister, Randi. That night split my world wide open.

Grief, I’ve come to learn, doesn’t follow a timeline. It doesn’t resolve. It reshapes us. And somewhere within that reshaping, something else can take root. For me, it was clarity—a kind of quiet courage. I could no longer ignore the callings that had been quietly nudging at me for years.

Yoga—especially its teachings on impermanence, dharma, and presence—offered a lifeline. These weren’t just abstract concepts. They became the soil in which I rebuilt. They reminded me that even in profound loss, we can create. We can take the pieces and do something with them, not to fix ourselves but to serve from a place of real experience.

And that’s where this offering — the Inspire Sessions — came from. I started thinking about you: the studio owner with a vision, maybe just a whisper of an idea, something calling from under the surface. A new training. A retreat. A gathering. A course. Or perhaps something that doesn’t have a name yet — only a feeling.

If that’s you, I want to hold space for it.

The Inspire Sessions are free one-hour Vision Activation Calls I offer to yoga studio owners. There is no pitch, no pressure, just an honest conversation about what’s stirring in you and how to bring it forward—in a way that aligns with your rhythm, not hustle.

You don’t need to have all the pieces figured out. You need to show up and be willing to explore. That’s enough.

I’d be honored to meet you there if this speaks to something in you.

With love,
Amy
