my already modest income, causing some financial strain as I had forecasted the extra classes helping to
cover the extra overheads of the larger space.

I have been very grateful that David Hughes owner of 121 Tinbeerwah Rd, has come on board as business
partner to assist with the maintenance and financial success of SCHY, to ensure that we can continue to
serve the community through these difficulties.

Proposed Solution:
Although there are many yoga studios and therapists around, the demographic of clientele that we attract
are those that would prefer NOT to attend a busy yoga studio in town, full of athletic flexible types. They
prefer a type of service and environment that we provide here in Tinbeerwah that is gentle, nurturing and
peaceful.

Many are beginners or are new on the health care path and need a nurturing teacher/therapist that is
compassionate and adapts to suit the individual, which seems difficult to find. Some that are on a journey
to heal themselves due to chronic stress, traumas, health issues etc, yet still need to work full time. These
are the types that would greatly benefit from classes/workshops and therapies that are available after
5.30pm and on weekends.

The people that are working very hard to serve the community, such as Health Care professionals,
hospitality workers, lawyers, teachers etc, also need to be able to have the opportunity to serve
themselves so they do not fall pray to sickness and can manage their stress levels, ultimately taking the
load off the medical system and being able to give more to the community.

David and I would like to request an increase in the number of classes from 4 per week, to (up to) 8 per
week, with operational hours from 9am - 7.30pm Mon- Friday and 9- 6pm Saturdays. This will give us
enough room to be able to offer extra services and support to ALL that need it, without excluding the full-
time workers. The extra classes will also mean we do not need to go beyond the maximum of 10 students,
but rather spread the students over more class times.

The extra classes may be offered by myself or my highly qualified and experienced colleagues. This would
also enable us to offer some other styles of Yoga that I do not teach and allow me to keep a healthy
work/life balance also.

Example Future Yoga Timetable
Mon 6.00pm         Restorative Flow for Beginners - Experienced
Tuesday 6.00pm     Group Meditation - All Welcome (monthly)
Wed 9.00am         Slow Flow for Beginners - Experienced_____
Wed 6.00pm         Yin Yoga for All Levels (monthly)__________
Thurs 9.00am       Chair Flow for Seniors__________________
Thursday 6.00pm    Radiant Flow for All Levels_______________
Friday 9.00am      Friday Flow for All levels________________
Saturday 9.00am    Radiant Flow for All Levels
2.00-6.00pm        Workshops/Group meditations
                   (seasonal/as needs basis)

The aim would be to increase the classes gradually over the next 6-12 months adapting to the needs and
feedback of the community.

In order to maintain my own health and wellbeing, I of course would not be fully booked for the entirety of
the available hours of 9am-7.30pm. I cannot serve everyone myself and long hours are not good for me.
