In response to the current situation, we’ve been working on a few special projects to transform the device you’re holding into a portal of radical joy.With help from some of our expert collaborators, we’ll be bringing you delicious diversions, long-form enrichment, specialised tuition, secret handshakes, and other intriguing pick-me-ups and self-improvements over the course of the coming weeks.
The first one will be arriving tomorrow night.At 6pm AEST tomorrow (Monday) we’ll be streaming a free, live, cabin fever-friendly yoga class on Instagram Live Video, hosted by one of Sydney’s in-demand yoga teachers: Misch Gomez.
One of Sorry Thanks I Love You’s hallmarks has been to experiment with the idea of what a shop can do or be, and to use our spaces in creative ways – especially after dark. We’ve been offering free yoga on Monday night in our stores for the past four years as a way of bringing people together, lifting them up, and keeping their mental health en pointe.

Mischa’s own daily practice is a morning ritual, moving & meditating before heading out into the world. She loves offering students a deep breath & a few moments of joy - a chance to meet themselves.
For her, yoga is much more than the physical asana practice on the mat, it is a living breathing prayer.

If you’re fortunate enough to take a yoga class with Misch Gomez, it’s hard to imagine a time when she wasn’t glowing with radiance. Misch masterfully walks the line of strength and vulnerability, holding space with confidence, but also leading with a sensitivity that makes you feel like you’re the only other person in the room. You can tell when she hits the mat, there’s a sense of joy, relief, and of coming home. When you take one of her classes, those feelings are transmuted to her students too.
Here, Misch opens up about her journey, and how yoga healed her anxiety and saved her life.
