This September’s Student of the Month was nominated by Madeline, our lovely Holland front-desker!
I first met Karen in April of 2015. Both of us were new at that point, me to the front desk, her to the practice. She was a community class-er, and I saw her every Sunday night for about a month and a half. From the first day she came into the studio, I could tell that she was genuinely kind-hearted, and she has only continued to prove that to me as time has gone on. One Sunday when she came for class, she excitedly told me that she wanted to sign up for the membership. Attending class once a week wasn’t enough, and just over a year later she has reached Super Yogi status!
Every time Karen walks into the studio (and that’s not an exaggeration, I do mean every time), I feel my day get a little bit brighter. When she came in to use her one year anniversary discount, we talked about her journey with us. I remember Karen’s time with Funky Buddha very vividly, and I always look forward to seeing her. She has a contagiously positive energy about her. Karen is testament to the type of students who slowly fall in love with the practice, and then jump in with both feet and never look back. I feel a sense of honor at seeing Karen grow with us in her practice from the start, and I am only excited to watch as she continues to grow (and to give her that Super Yogi shirt!).
