A letter to my Seaford Yoga community

Please let me preface this by first telling you that this has not been an easy decision but it’s one that feels aligned to where I am within myself and my business right now. 

I know my soul’s work is to hold space and guide people to a place of self connection and healing and for over a decade that has been in the form of Yoga and more recently energy healing modalities.

It has been a beautiful progression of myself and my business and in the last year I have embodied a huge growth within the Spinal Energetics arm of the business, expanding out to clinics in Armadale and Richmond and building consistency in Seaford. 

With this growth comes a reassessment of my time and capacity. In 2025 I will also have two school aged children and I need to consider my time away from home especially ‘after hours’ and weekends. It’s within all these reflections I have decided I will no longer be teaching weekly yoga classes. 

It’s a big call. Yoga is my roots. I love coming together to share connection, movement and meditation in the form of our classes. It feels very much like home. I have always done my best to show up with integrity of the Yoga practice and in honour of your discipline to self. 

I receive so much personally in our hour(s) spent together each week and the community has been so supportive of my business and me personally. For 7 years I’ve taught Yoga at The Elements of Happiness, and prior to that two other local studios. Some of you have been with me the whole way through, in the studio but also the extension to my personal journey into motherhood and the general ebs and flows of life. You have witnessed me, as I have guided you. For that I am deeply grateful. 

I am not really going anywhere though! Alongside self growth my values are still community, authenticity, compassion and connection. I continue to offer my self to guide you to your inner depths and the innate wisdom you have to know yourself and heal.

•Rest & Restore classes will continue monthly 

•Retreats will continue in 2025, although I’m more likely to offer only 2 retreats

•1:1 Spinal Energetics appointments 

•Spinal Energetics group healings in Seaford and Richmond

•And perhaps I’ll do some pop-up Yoga classes in alignment to solstice / equinox energies, if there’s the interest from the community for it 

kirstysaunders.com and social media are the best way to stay informed or subscribe for the occasional email.

So, when will the last yoga class be? 

The final class will be Sunday 8 December 2024.

Change isn’t always easy but with the closing of a chapter, comes an opening to more possibility. 

Please stay on the mat. I am opening my online yoga classes to the public. Check out the other yoga classes and yoga styles at The Elements of Happiness or come speak with me about local Yoga options. 

I hope you receive this with the heart and gratitude I intend you to.
