Where did the Name Sixteen2Five come from?

Happy Sunday, Everyone!

I wanted to share the quick story behind the name of the studio, Sixteen2Five Yoga (or 1625, for short).

When I was a kid, I had trouble saying my R's. "car" sounded like caw, "water" came out wa-dew, and, of course, "four" became faux.

Before long, my family discovered this was pretty entertaining and loved asking me what time it was at 4:44. Eventually, I figured out a way around it. Instead of struggling through and saying "faux faux-ty-faux," I'd reply with, "sixteen to five."

That little workaround stuck with me, and years later it became the inspiration for the name of my yoga studio.

It's also a gentle reminder that sometimes we just need to reframe how we look at—or say—something. A small shift in perspective can make a big difference. So, this week, give yourself permission to breathe, reevaluate and approach something from a slightly different angle, you may find a little inspiration yourself!

Thank you for choosing to move your body, breathe deeply, and grow stronger with me. I'm so grateful to be part of your journey.
