The Next Adventure for Studio Manager, Gabbie Pepin
By Gabbie Pepin
Hello Northern Life Community!
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for an amazing year at Northern Life Yoga! It has been a pleasure to assist Allie with running the studio and helping all of you navigate this strange year of classes—shifting online to in-person to online to in-person and so on. This is a beautiful and amazing community that has welcomed me with love and compassion and patience as I, too, learned how to navigate online classes and scheduling software and the studio’s relationship with each of you.
In addition to thanking you for all you do to support Northern Life Yoga and to make this such a special community, I also want to inform you of some exciting new adventures that this year has in store for me. This summer, I will be marrying the most wonderful man and my best friend, Bailey Gordon. Following the wedding, we will travel out west to continue our exploration of the US National Parks before moving to Chiang Mai, Thailand to teach English as a foreign language for six months. We are both thrilled and overwhelmed by the love and support we have received as we begin to navigate and prepare for these incredible experiences to come.
As with all change, there is excitement in moving forward, and sadness in saying our good-byes. I will be leaving my role as studio manager of Northern Life, but I know that I am handing over my responsibilities to an amazing new manager, Morgan VanWinkle, who will love her time with you as much as I have loved mine. I know you will show her the same love, compassion, and patience as she learns the ropes and gets to know you, as you have shown me, and I am so excited for all of you as the Northern Life Yoga community continues in its beautiful mission to bring peace of mind to our little corner of the world.
I want to thank Allie for all of her generosity and hard work, keeping this community going through this strange and crazy year, and for letting me be a part of the team and family she has created here. There will always be a special place in my heart for this town, and this studio, and all of you.
Good-byes are never truly good-byes, only see-you-laters and until-we-meet-agains.
So, until we meet again, thank you all and namaste!
