Pure Insomnia :)

Heya Yogi's.
Hope you all have been enjoying the absolutely fabulous weather we've been having... +7 yesterday!!.lovin it!!..if only winter could always be like that..
 So I won't make this to long, but just want to give all you a little update to all the craziness thats been happening.
As per my last post, all of our landlord B.S is over and we are full force ahead.. The last couple of weeks have been just as anticipated..Busy as... Now that we are so freakin' close we now start thinking of a whole new realm of things we need, paper, pens, light bulbs, clip boards, towels, toilet paper, hair dryers, and every other little odd and end you could think of... I keep starting lists, but usually get distracted thinking of something else we need that doesn't fit on that list, maybe I should start multiple lists...Our Millwork has been installed, floor is going in tomorrow, recepetion desk on Saturday, and then all the light and plumbing fixtures...after that making it look nice and pretty (thank-you Shannon Smithers) we will be good to open...
I so wish I could give an actual day, but I couldn't stand letting you all down if I was off by a day or three. What I will say is the week of March the 5th should be very very exciting. I will absolutely make sure to make a big deal when we do nail down the date. Make sure you all keep posted!  We are having some really amazing intro specials...and not to spoil anything, but FREE may keep you checking back..:)
So that's where the studio is at. As per the Insomnia heading, Amber and I have moved to Westboro, and the place we live in, though so cute and grown up, they are building a restaurant downstairs, so we've been pleasantly woken every morning extremely early every morning to saws, hammers, guns and roses...you know the usual on a Monday morning at 6am :). As much as a little sleep in till say 9am would be nice, I guess we have to get used to these long ass days.
Ok, that's about it for now, I'll be posting the schedule in the next day or two, so keep checking back on www.pureyogaottawa.com so you can start marking your calender of weekly classes. We have some really cool classes, and some really Amazing teachers (how did we get so lucky) I can not wait to share with all of you...
Peace out for now.. :)

Pure Monday

Happy Monday everyone. Mondays are a little like Sundays for me, actually everyday is like Sunday to me these days, I'm not working to much in anticipation of PYO opening... So first and formost did ya'll watch the grammy's? Not bad eh' some beautiful tributes to Whitney... which is incredibly sad by the way. Brought me back to when I heard about MJ. Funny how you almost feel as though you know these people, and feel a sense of real loss, and sadness.. RIP and love Whitney Houston....

Ok, back to PYO... not to much has happened on the landlord front, other than the bully lawyer they had involved is off the case, not sure if its a good or not so good thing, but I sure as heck am glad we don't have to deal with him anymore. We will hopefully find out some more by the end of the day, and then we can really start worrying, we will be opened within weeks, we are pretty much ready to go. There's just a few things that are left to do, the wood floors, a little more paint, some furniture placing, and the whole heating system thing... I get these waves of panic, thinking holy sh*%@ we have so much to do......inhaleeeeeeeeee, and exhaleeeee.... it'll be fun...

So I'll attach a few photos of the latest work thats been done, custom made lockers, and corian vanities...more paint, and beautifully tiled showers...

I think that might be about all for today, this week is going to be a big one, I'm hoping we will have an exact opening date for all ya'll in a day or two... so you can put it in you calenders..

Happy Monday to all you wonderful people, and I hope all you lovers out there have a super cheesy romantic day tomorrow...

Namaste for now yogis.. :)

Update

Hello again,
It's been a little longer than I wanted, however we just a couple days ago got our internet working. So here we are, one move, one nasty ass flu, and one yoga studio that is so close to opening day, and of course a few glasses of wine later....
I'll give ya'll a short rundown of what's new, exciting, and not so exciting...
We are still puting along, paint is being painted beautiful colors...Just wait to you see it..PYO is not just another yoga studio, we are BOLD, Beautiful, and GREEN.  GREEN being  eco-friendly with everything we do.. We're using this paint called Harmony paint, low V.O.C, all of our water will be filtered, we have beautiful soft on the feet (and knees) cork for the hot room,  our heating panals and lightbulbs are energy efficient ....  i could go on... All of our millwork has been delivered, and looks better than we could have possibly imagined....think walnut and beautiful white corian... We are working with our lovely old friend Shannon Smithers, who is an amazing designer, she's given us some fantastic ideas, from lightboxes, to cool colorful fabrics, bold colors on the wall, and of course peace of mind being able to trust such a talented young lady with such important desicions.
Ok, well thats the fun stuff, the not so fun stuff, is we are still in kahoots with our lovely landlords. We have given into a few of there new demands, but some that we just can't afford to do, so still trying to work it out, its much more complicated than just that, but moral of the story is that we can't open until we get it all sorted...so here we still are waiting...waiting for someone to give in, and man up, to allow two young girls to continue on with there dream... Positive thoughts...:) Let's hope things happen today or tomorrow, and we can move forward, and open Ottawa's hottest, BOLDest most beautiful amazing yoga studio there will be... Can't wait to see all you yogi's and not so yogi's there..
Namaste for now..
