Good morning!

Today is a good news day 🥰

We have been awarded some more funding for our community yoga class (held at the studio on a weds ) and the chair yoga class (held at portway annexe on a Monday) these fully funded spaces are for ages 65+ to encourage connection, movement & community and reduce isolation for this age group.

Please note - the community class is still open to other ages on a donation basis. And once I get confirmation from lovely Yuka about Mondays I can let you know more about these too.

These classes will run for 12 weeks through November, December & January maybe even creep into feb if we take a break for Christmas.
And there may well be enough left in the pot to run into spring.

That should be plenty long enough to work out some other bits and bobs with regards to the running of the studio 🙏

Please if possible book weds via the website - if this is a block for you then you can email me [email protected] or reply to this post.
Or contact Yuka Krantz for chair yoga.
Please pass this info to anyone you feel may benefit from this, this winter.

Looking forward to seeing you on the mat or massage table soon.

With love

We would love to hear from you ❤️

Edit - shout out to the small businesses in my dms who are in it with me. It’s good to hear from you 🙏

A little honesty about the future of the studio.
(Spoiler alert - no decisions have been made)

I've been sitting with this for a while, wondering how to say it without it sounding like a plea for support or making anyone feel guilty. That's genuinely not my intention. At all. And the feed back is that I always seem to have everything together- and that may be partially true. However- I am tired.

I know life is expensive. I know we're all busy, juggling work, family, responsibilities and our own struggles. I understand that having the best intentions doesn't always translate into showing up.

I like to be as transparent as possible so I need to be honest about where I'm at.
Running a space like this takes an enormous amount of time, energy, commitment and money, and I do have way more responsibility now outside of the studio- some of you know my children are home educated and I am full time carer of my dad who is housebound. Which means my capacity to carry the weight of this is limited.

I have some wonderful practitioners who do such amazing work- working with me and without them I probably would have had to say this a while ago.
But, I AM TIRED, of advertising, worrying about whether classes will fill, whether events will be viable, and whether I can cover the rent. I'm tired of putting money into keeping the space going when the numbers don't always add up especially as we come into winter and there’s no heating in our quirky old building.

I know people care about this space. I hear how much people value it, what it means to them, and how important places like this are. And I believe them.

I haven't made any big decisions, there’s lots of moving parts- largely it depends on what comes to the courtyard next and who takes residence below- but I can no longer make that decision based on what I hope might happen. I have to look at what's actually sustainable.

I may have to do things a little differently though.

I'm proud of what this space has offered and what we've created here. There has been so much good in it, and I don't want that to be lost in the uncertainty of what comes next.

If this space is important to you, I'd genuinely love to hear what you think- maybe not in the comments but dm me because I need to make a meaningful decision about the future, and I think it's time to be open about that.

Like I said the intention behind this is not a cry for help or to guilt people into coming to class.
I’m a yoga teacher, a yogi through and through and I’m just being honest about where I am. No point in pretending everything is fine- I always ask you not to do that 😅

I would love to hear from you.

With love

Good morning!

Will do my best to make this post a positive one 🤣 but I’ll be honest- always, finding the motivation to keep promoting and advertising classes and events is absolutely exhausting 😵‍💫 and social media just now actually wants to make me rip my eyes out. Too far?

If you like yoga & Pilates- we have a timetable full of classes.

If you want to support a small business then we’d love to see you.

If you need a massage or sauna or feel drawn to work with crystals or meditation we have appointments.

If you would like a sound bath- we have one.

If you would like to drop in on wellbeing Wednesday (last weds of the month) and put the world right, I will have to kettle on.

We have lots I’ve lovely seasonal sessions coming up over the next few months and a couple of new classes.

It will all be on the website www.studioeightwells.com

See you soon

Friends in my phone…. I am looking for a mat Pilates teacher to take a day time class and maybe an evening class.

Please note THIS IS NOT to replace our lovely Gitte before the whispers begin. This is an addition to the team.

If you are a mature experienced Pilates teacher, kind hearted soul and have capacity for a day class (which already has a waiting list) and potentially an evening class please get in touch.

Thanks ❤️✨🙏

Honestly 😎

Starting strong- things we will not be doing:
❌ Becoming our highest selves
❌ Manifesting a six-figure income
❌ Pretending we’re FINE
❌ Loving everyone
❌ Waking up at 5am to journal
❌ Drinking celery juice Things we ARE doing:
✔ Moving our bodies
✔ Having a lie down
✔ Getting stronger
✔ Calling a **** a ****
✔ Having a massage
✔ Going home

I promise - I’m fine 🤣

Good Morning! I’ve got 3 months until the deadline I gave myself to take my business off of social media- quite a bold move. I say ‘kill or cure’ personally so buckle up because things are about to get WILD 🤣 3 months of unhinged marketing to get our lovely little studio & treatment rooms spread far and wide- well like a 5 mile radius I suppose. I don’t know about you but I’m sick of the wellness industry- to the point where I’m questioning whether I want to be a part of it. There will probably be more of a rant about that in approx 3 days based on my cycle 😬 so- grab your popcorn cos- what’s left to lose 😜 🤘 (practicing the walk of shame for when I realise it is impossible for me not to be on social media- but f**k it let’s have some fun hey?!) All the best 🍂

The donation based/sliding scale sound bath that was scheduled for this evening as part of the wellbeing day has been re scheduled for next weds 5-5:45pm-
I will update the website this afternoon.
Apologies for the inconvenience- there’s a few things happening behind the scenes which are taking up some time ❤️🍂

29/09/2026

Hello!

We are adding to our classes over autumn/winter to include t’ai chi- qigong (daytime and evening)
And strength based classes- yesssss you will see dumbbells, kettle bells and resistance bands entering the mix (more on that a little later)
Most of these classes will be a part of the packages you can buy on the website and the membership that we have which means you can mix and match your modalities or do all of them 😅

I’m also introducing a carefully created strength and confident class for 13-15yr old young women which will likely launch in January.

What else would you like to see on our timetable/treatment rooms offerings?

Exciting times ahead indeed 🍂🥮
