Leading up to the decision to close the studio, all I thought about was what was in the best interest of my students and instructors. While it was a hard call at the time, I’m very confident that we did the right thing. What I hadn’t anticipated was how much I would miss teaching all of you, and it’s only been one full day!
Trust me I’m still really busy with studio related work like updating the newsletter, social media posts and of course the website. I realized that I couldn’t sit at my desk all day or watch the endless news updates, what I needed was to do some moving around.
So, I streamed an Essentrics workout and took a nice, but chilly walk with my husband yesterday. It’s important that we all find a balance between work and exercise. If you don’t already have workout DVDs, there are many online resources that you can watch to help you get your exercise. Many instructors and dancers are posting live workouts and videos. I hope to create some new ones as well in the coming days. In the meantime, here’s a list of some of the videos I’ve found. If you know of one that I didn’t list, let me know and I promise to update this list.
