Dear Power Yoga Community,
As we embark on 2025 also known as Twenty-Twenty-Thrive, I am writing to you from Cleveland, Ohio, where we have been completely humbled and reminded at how hard it can seem to start something new. With hard comes excitement; the thrill of adventure and a reminder of the ride of life. We are just over a year into opening our first location in the USA and number two is currently on its way. For those of you who remember our humble beginnings behind the curtain in Clarkson, Mississauga, where all the magic happened, you would also remember the annoyance of climbing all those stairs followed by the thrill to move your body, meet someone new and challenge yourself in a way you had never experienced before.
As we step into 2025, I am filled with gratitude for each and every one of you who has been part of our incredible journey. Fifteen years ago, we planted a seed – a vision of sharing the transformative power of yoga with every BODY and Empower Communities into Action. Today, that seed has blossomed into a forest of strength, growth, healing, and connection. There’s a Chinese proverb that says, “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” It is your turn now. What seeds do you need to plant?
Twenty-twenty-five isn’t just another year – it’s your time to THRIVE. In a world that constantly reminds us of its challenges, we choose to see opportunities. We choose to be the change. We choose to pivot with purpose, move with ease and respond with intention and a higher good.
To our dedicated teachers who show up mat after mat, class after class – your commitment to holding space for transformation is nothing short of extraordinary. You’re not just teaching a flow; you’re lighting the way for others to discover for themselves over and over again both on and off the mat.
To our tireless energy exchange teams, managers, and studio owners – you are the heartbeat of our community. Your behind-the-scenes magic creates the environment and container where transformation happens. Your dedication makes every practice possible, every connection meaningful and every sweat drop just in time.
And to our yoga students – whether you’re stepping onto your mat for the first time or the thousandth time like Scott from our Etobicoke studio who has practiced over 5,272 classes with PYC and his longtime teacher Susan. Yashoda, also from Etobicoke, who has rolled out a mat over 5,243 times or Maureen who began with us in Clarkson behind the curtain and now practices in Etobicoke who has done so over 5,047 times – you are the reason we exist. Your sweat, tears, breakthrough moments, and unwavering support have created something far bigger than yoga classes. You’ve built a movement and community of positive change.
As we look to the horizon of 2025, the mission burns brighter than ever. I invite you all to share what yoga has done for your life with everyone you meet, your family, your friends, your neighbors. We must be relentless in our pursuit to create a world where yoga, community, movement and health are at the forefront of everything we do. We are never disappointed when we roll out our yoga mat. Every time I leave my mat I feel rinsed, renewed and ready to take on whatever the world brings my way. How does yoga make a difference for you? Share it over and over again. It is our responsibility to create the world we want to live into. Our words create our world so please choose wisely. I invite you to join me in our mission to push boundaries and thrive in 2025 with every single breath!
Thank you for being on this wild ride with us. Thank you for your trust, your friendship, and for making every drop of sweat count. Here’s to making 2025 our year to absolutely THRIVE!
Much love, gratitude and excitement,
Pauline Caballero
PYC Co-Founder
