Today we’d like to introduce you to Kathleen Pizzello.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Kathleen. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I guess the journey began with that yoga class where I realized the practice would change my life. Since then it has been lots of yoga, trainings, traveling the world, and riding lots of waves that life has presented me! I never thought I would own a studio…but after I went on a special retreat with my teacher Sianna Sherman, I quit my job as a school teacher which created the space for new, unexpected, and beautiful things to unfold. It felt very much divinely guided. And in 2017 I opened the moon + the mat yoga studio in my hometown of Beverly, MA.
Has it been a smooth road?
Haha…no! It is like the ocean…sometimes calm and peaceful, other times wild and unpredictable…always changing. There are many ups and downs in owning a business, especially on your own. It is freeing and empowering but also lonely at times. I have learned so much about myself and my relationships with others. I am grateful for all of these experiences. My goal is to ride each wave that comes my way with as much grace and integrity as I can.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into The Moon + The Mat story. Tell us more about the business.
The Moon + The Mat is a sweet little yoga studio in the heart of the sweetest seaside town on the north shore of Boston. We strive to provide a safe space for the community to open and expand their bodies, minds, and hearts. What I am most proud of is the community of amazing beings that has formed at the studio. I love those people. Our teachers are dedicated to their offerings and each provide something unique and special for the students to learn. We are in support and acceptance of people being who they are. Authenticity and Integrity. We are connected to the cosmos. As above so below.
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
I hope to see more integrity and authenticity. Yoga as a practice of feeling and being. I hope more people do yoga as a way to learn about themselves and heal.
