Ready for the next chapter… 🥺♥️ Thank you for all of your love over the past two years for the Shudio! Bring on the moving series!!!

[@BendStudioPilates]

Shu!!! I am so excited for you!!! Congratulations on this next chapter, can't wait to see where it takes you. Here for the ride with you 👏🏼👏🏼💛💛💛

Congratulations on a new chapter in your life Shu! It’s been fun spending time with you in the Shudio. Wishing you all the best in your new place, can’t wait to see all the new adventures. 😘

Thank you, Suri!! It’s been great documenting the Shudio chapter! Can’t wait to show you all there is to come after this! 🥰🥰

[@kellinw]

Congrats Shu on starting a new chapter of London life! Also, happy birthday in advance! 🎂You described the anxiety and permanent adrenaline rush of living in London well - I think it's common and I felt it too for many years... Hearing you being so okay and open about it feels very validating. I've been away from the city for over a year and am headed back soon. Life balance will also be my main goal this time round ☺All the best!

[@thesimofalltrades3703]

Shu I think this is so natural and normal. As we grow we get to create our own idea of stability but we're still people, so safety and stability is so a part of our minds. I loved your adventures in the shudio and where you go, the adventure (and us) will follow!

[@dejashu]

Thank you, Sim! Love the way you think! Evolving and feeling much more self-assured and comfortable with every decision made - so it’s a great feeling! Can’t wait to share the next chapter with you! 🥰🥰

Awww Shu, I had a feeling you would be leaving the Shudio soon. I wish you well in the next chapter and yes do bring us along. The Shudio served its time, there are times and seasons for everything in life. It was actually you who inspired me to get my own studio.

[@dejashu]

Thank you, Niki! Really appreciate your comment and feeling emotional the Shudio inspired you to get your own!!! 🥺🥺🥺 how is it going?! ♥️

[@nikinireti959]

@@dejashu I feel I've outgrown it. I wanted to live on my own for my last year of studies (I qualify as a Midwife in 2 months!😱), and I do like having my own space but once I start earning a salary I will look at upgrading to a 1 bed flat/apartment as I need space and I don't like how cramped it can get. Also like you I like entertaining and cooking but it can be quite limiting in a studio. But it has been nice not having to answer to anyone, having everything cleaned to my own standards and just my own space.
