September 2020 Newsletter

 Dear HYE Community,
What is your dream in life?  Are you making life choices to get closer to your dreams?  The dream of Hot Yoga Escape (HYE) started for me in 2015.  It began in California where I had lived for over 20 years.  It truly blossomed with my relocation in June 2015 back to my home county of Knox in central Ohio.

Dreams worth seeking often come with obstacles and challenges. A dream demands commitment, willpower and focus to achieve it. My dream of a yoga studio and entry into the world of wellness started with the purchase of a building in downtown Mt Vernon. Following one roadblock after another, my inspiration moved to Coshocton Rd in front of Walmart. After many drawings, renderings and tedious number crunching, again my dream hit the pause button. Yoganandaji defines willpower as "desire plus energy directed towards fulfillment". I could not give up because my dream had the willpower to achieve it. Determined to move forward, hot yoga was introduced to the MTV area with a donation studio in the basement of my house. I “tested the waters” of this unfamiliar yoga and eventually outgrew my intimate space of 7 mats. The Universe led me to where HYE is today at 812 Coshocton Ave. This launched the beginning of HYE's beautiful, strong and unique yoga & movement community!

My dream was to “pay forward” the healing strength of yoga, meditation and movement. It saved my mental and emotional life in 2011. I wanted to share the power of practice and teaching with my hometown community. You helped bring my dream to fruition. I am proud of your hard work, dedication and commitment of your time on your mat. I have simply provided the space for a lifestyle of yoga and movement. You bring the energy and mindset of “taking care of you”.

I am so pleased to be a part of the fulfillment of another yogi’s dream of a yoga and wellness venture. With that, I proudly announce the ownership of Hot Yoga Escape belongs to Terri Lewis. She has a bright future for not only the current space of HYE as well as the space next door. This additional space will allow Terri to offer an expanded unheated yoga schedule as well as other wellness services to support an enhanced balanced life.

In case you are wondering, Lori and I are not going anywhere. I continue to dream and have enrolled in a certification program to expand my knowledge on holistic and nutritional healing. I dream to offer my time and experience to clients on a one-to-one basis and tailor a unique program for individual needs. “Only you can take care of you” continues to be my mantra and driving force of the energy fueling my dreams and future. We will continue to teach and stay well connected with you and HYE’s community.

I hope you are living for your dreams and find inspiration in the power of your personal choices in life.  Allow your choices to fuel the plot of course bringing you closer to your dreams.  Feel the power in dreaming while allowing each challenge along your journey to strengthen you and ensuring your dream even more worthwhile.  Leave behind limiting beliefs and energize your dreams with commitment, willpower and focus!

"Never give up on what you really want to do.  The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts."  Albert Einstein

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me and for giving yourself an opportunity to transform your life! I believe in you and encourage you to live for your dreams always!

Much love & appreciation,

Charlene

"Dreams Do Come True"
In 1989, my parents addressed a letter with this title when they expanded their business that they had started together in 1969. The new business was something they dreamed about doing for years. Being born and raised into this family business, the value of hard work, dedication and customer service was instilled in me. I left Knox County and chased my dreams, a few I caught and still I always knew owning my own dream would happen one day.  Today is that day. Dreams Do Come True, and I am beyond overjoyed to take on this adventure. 

Becoming a part of the HYE community 3 years ago, I instantly felt at home.  I love this space and the community that Charlene and Lori have built for all of us to enjoy, grow and evolve. I am humbled to be taking the reins and to continue providing the space for all of you to continue "taking care of you".

I look forward to meeting those of you I have not yet met and continue building a relationship with those of you I do know.  As Charlene mentioned above I am excited to announce that the Hot Yoga Escape Wellness Center is expected to open next door October 1st!  Built around wellness, this space will allow for an additional yoga room and other services.  Please let me know what additions you would like to see.  I can't wait to share this space with all of you and continue to grow our HYE Community.  

Coming home to Knox County has turned into so much more than I could of imagined.  I only hope this title of "Dreams Do Come True" will have the same impact on my daughters as it did on me as a child when my parents chased their dreams. Thanks Charlene for sharing your dream with me. 

Be Well,
Terri
