Gratitude and Transitions

In 2008, I opened Nandi Yoga as a place to support students of all levels with authentic, empowering, compassionate and inspiring yoga in an environment that treads lightly on the earth and gives back to our community.

I’ve seen many changes and faced numerous challenges over these last 18 years but our community of dedicated teachers and staff and amazing students have been there for us and helped us to continue with our mission. I cannot acknowledge enough the deep gratitude I feel to all of you for the confidence and support you have given us, and it has been a real honor to have been a part of growing our Satsang (yoga community).

Running a small business is hard, even more so a physically demanding one teaching yoga. I have reached a stage in life where running a business and teaching a full schedule is starting to push my limits.  I have always hoped that our community would grow and sustain to the point where I would eventually find someone who could build on what we have started and take Nandi to the next level.  My goal was to find an incredible person who has been deeply involved in our community who knows, feels and lives our mission.

Diane McIntyre started taking classes at Nandi in February 2018. She joined the Front Desk Staff in April 2018 to help build our early morning program. Upon graduating from Nandi’s 200 Hour Teacher Training Program in the Fall of 2019, she started teaching at the studio and continued to build her skills with trainings in kid’s, prenatal, Yin, Restorative, Core and Jivamukti Yoga. In April 2024, she took over as our Studio Manager and have been increasingly taken on the operations side of the business. I am pleased to announce that effective January 1, Diane will be the new owner of Nandi Yoga!!!!

Diane is a phenomenal human being, a committed and wonderful teacher, and someone whom I believe has the passion and love to keep Nandi special, bona fide and inclusive.

I am fully committed to Nandi: I will continue teaching public and private classes, workshops and trainings (for as long as I am physically able and for as long you want me to) and I will be there for Diane in any way she needs.

It is not always easy to change roles, especially since Nandi Yoga is kind of like my child (from inception to “adulthood” – it has been 18 years since we signed our first lease)!  But I have no doubt that this community will continue to grow and thrive under Diane’s leadership, and I look forward to continuing to be a part of this amazing community.

Namaste,

Wendy
