"Our Heart Is The Master, The Ego is The Servant…"
Namaste friends,
Happy almost winter. We finally got some snow! I have enjoyed the Indian Summer, but its weird to be in shorts in December in Colorado. I am happy to see the landscape covered in white, especially the mountains. Snow packed mountains means spring abundance. Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Winter Solstice is around the corner and that means its time to get our nests ready for hunkering down. Michael and I put the down comforter back on the bed. We pulled the little heater out from storage. All the outdoor plants are either brought inside or put to bed in their garden homes. The storm windows are put on, the swamp cooler is wrapped in a blanket, and the sprinklers blown out. We have old radiators that heat water to warm the house, and they make an endearing gurgle sound as they begin heating and moving the water through their pipes. Our holiday decor is pulled out and on display, and the extra pines and boughs around give that cozy cabin feeling. By 5:30 I am ready to put my jammies on and crawl into bed with my book.

Winter is a still time. A quiet time. A reflective time. By design, it is meant for slowing down and restoring our energy. Yet our cultural norms have made this one of the more frenetic, expensive, and socially active times of the year.

As a extrovert, I love going to all the galas, parties, plays and concerts…but I also feel how counter-intuitive this is to my mind, body, and spirit. My little ego self wants to get dressed up, indulge in the fantastic feasts and spreads, see all the people, lights, and glitter that adorn the plethora of community functions.

But my High Self, or my spiritual heart says, choose wisely as to how you spend your energy. In fact, it says try to restore your energy, replenish with rest and quiet introspection. Use this time to go inward and listen to the deep wisdom of my inner knowing. I am called to journal, write, read, draw, paint all the things that are coming to the surface from deep within my soul. And then study their meaning and look for the messages that are coming from my Higher Power.

I know the importance of carving out time and space for reflecting and reviewing my values, my feelings, and my Self-so that come spring-we emerge with our new births, gifts, and blossoms for the year to come. This is our incubation period. We need to use this time for quiet contemplation, for soon the days will begin to turn toward the light. Winter Solstice is the 21st of December, and that begins the return of the long days. But for a little longer, we are socked in with darkness, and that is nature’s invitation to turn inward.

Michael and I have been working diligently to secure a new home for our studio and community. A wonderful couple in the community reached out to us after the last newsletter and said they had a space that they thought would be a good fit for us. When they told us where it was, I knew instantly the building and had already put the wheels into motion to take a look at it prior to them reaching out. Its a building I have driven by everyday for the last 16 years on the way to taking my boys to school and have always marveled at her elegant beauty-she is different from rest of the big brick buildings around her. I always thought it would make a great studio.

When we met with the owners, it was so refreshing to see how kind, generous and down-to-earth they were. They have been very gracious and accommodating in helping us get the new rent and renovations figured out. I have a renewed faith in humanity because they have put helping us keep our community afloat over monetary gain. In truth, I don’t know how any business stays afloat with the rents that landlords are asking these days. Its nearly impossible for a small business to pay the current asking price per square foot, and expect to make any profit. Hence the reason we see a bunch of for lease signs all over the city. It hasn’t been for lack of availability that we haven’t found something yet, its been for lack of affordability. These folks are different.

I was hoping in this newsletter I could say that we have for certain found our new space, but we are still figuring out a few details regarding the build out of the new space. But I am 99.9% sure this place is it. We need to build a few walls, and rearrange some heating and cooling-and if we can figure out the finances on that then I think its a go. I am very hopeful, and feel excited and positive about everything. But these things take a little time. So we will send out a special addition newsletter later this month to announce our new location and our moving plan. So please keep a look out for that additional newsletter this month.

So many of you have poured out your love, concern, support and have offered to help in all the ways that you can. For this we are extremely grateful and we will most appreciatively take you up on your offers. Some of you have offered to paint, to pack, to schlep, to clean, to replant plants, and to move furniture, and many of you have even offered to give financially as well. We have been resistant to asking for monetary help, but the truth of the matter is that we need it. So, we have created a GoFundMe page if you are feeling called to help us in that way. Your financial donations are most certainly appreciated-especially as we are doing the build out. Your donations help us determine the amount of build we can do, and it helps us to adjust our sails to the new rent increase and studio expansion.
Here is a link you can use to help us:

GoFundMe ~ Help Karma Yoga Center Build Our New Home: https://gofund.me/650c1065e

These acts of generosity fill our coffers, it IS the snow pack on the mountains, so come spring when we open the doors of our new community center, the rivers will be flowing for all of us to benefit from. We thank you in advance from the bottom of our hearts. Once we have a better understanding of our needs, we will update our GoFundMe page, until then we have set our goal number as a ballpark of what we feel we will need to get started. And I will create a SignUp Genius so people can sign up to help paint, pack, move, etc. We will have this all ready to go in the special addition newsletter.

Many hands make light work, as the saying goes. And it is so true. When we moved from Alameda to Pearl St. nearly 11 years ago, it was done in a week’s time. People were shoving lamps, plants and murtis into their cars and driving from one place to the other. It was actually a lot of fun, albeit a lot of work.

Our community rallied and we all became a little closer family and deepened our connections, all in the efforts to keep our little Karma family afloat. And many of you who helped us then, are still here now, and have offered to help again! Ya’ll are the OG Karma Krew! And that speaks volumes to the strength of this community.

Since then our community has doubled in size. Some people come all the time- every week; some people come periodically; some people come when they are in town; some people tune in online; some people come when they need it. All of you are our community. Thank you for being a part of us in whatever way that you do. It all adds up to make for a good “soup” of humanity.

As the world is transforming and transitioning into a new level of consciousness, and I know you can feel that we are in that shift, community-in particular a spiritual community-is one of the greatest needs of our current society. We need that communal “soup” for nourishment and sustenance right now. We need places to gather and strengthen our spirits in numbers. We need a place where you can find support and resources and connection. We need a place to discover, recover, uncover, and fortify the great Spirit that dwells within each of us. The spiritual side of ourselves has been pushed down as being too superstitious or make believe; or it has been smothered with religious dogma that feels forced; or it is just flat out ignored due to the mysterious veil that surrounds it.

With the advances of the technological world starting to reshape our lifestyles and human interactions-for example, we can now visit our doctors and therapists online with tele-health visits, we do our banking from our computers, groceries are delivered, we take online classes, and attend virtual meet-ups to name a few examples, yet simultaneously we are becoming more and more isolated-even though the planet has 8 billion plus people on it.

And the internet social platforms are replacing our efforts to make time to see each other in person. Instead we say “Shoot me a text and I’ll get back to you”.
Even just picking up the phone and calling out of the blue is considered somewhat old school and even intrusive.

Now we send a meme or an emoji to speak our feelings in one symbol or image. And we scroll to see what our friends are doing, and swipe to see who is available for our love connections. For those of us who are 35 or older we are in a totally different time then when we grew up. The 35 and under age group doesn’t know a world without the internet-so calling or visiting someone, when you can simply text, seems more normal.

So often we disregard the idea that human connection is the actual gemstone; that hearing their voice, seeing their emotions, and feeling their heart is how we fine tune our compassion and empathy; that spending time and energy with one another in real time is invaluable. Our personal electromagnetic fields get supercharged by one another, and that is something that doesn’t transfer through the ethernet cables. Additionally, we have also invested an incredible amount of faith in the idea that the internet is gospel, and physical research is archaic.

I am not condemning these new ways, in a lot of ways I think they bring a lot of good. If I had been swiping when I was dating, I probably wouldn’t have kissed so many frogs. I could have “filtered” them out. And the McGraw-Hill text books that we used for our educational research were really the compilation of historical revisionists diverting us from the truth of our existence. So this transition into a more tech oriented paradigm is not all bad. But I still think having human connection and honing in our spiritual aptitude is key to our advancement as a species.

The key to living the real Truth of things lies with our spiritual heart, what the yogis call the Hridyam heart or the Inner Sun. Now, more than ever, we need to learn to trust our intuition and follow the guidance of our wise soul. The more we take time to meditate, and do our daily spiritual practices (sadhana), the more adept we become at being able to discern between the voice of the heart, and the voice of our ego. The latter has held the reigns of the human mind for far too long. The yogis teach us that the hridyam heart is the master, and the ego is the servant. We have been operating with it the other way around. Its time for the tide to shift.

Both Michael and I feel this unforeseen move to a new home is giving us an opportunity to bring more people together and into our spiritual hearts. When one door closes another opens-wider. And the good news is that the new space is only 5 blocks away! And its twice as big as the current space. We are planning on expanding our offerings to include ayurvedic spa treatments, additional weekly classes, including an ongoing sacred geometry class, high tea and haiku club, book clubs, crafting classes, classes for the elderly, classes for the little people, storytelling, cooking classes, writing workshops, an ongoing lecture series, open-mic nights, a mini-cafe, concerts, and community gatherings. Our teacher training area will take on a more robust feel to it, the main yoga space will be much bigger, and so will the community area- complete with a little cafe area and stage. And all done without losing our intimate and eclectic ambiance and feel. Its going to be special this one.

We plan on having a closing ceremony in February to say goodbye to the space that has been such a nourishing oasis for many over the years. We will thank the building, the ancestors, and the land and celebrate our time there with music, food, and a special ceremony to honor the 1705 S. Pearl. It has been a beautiful refuge for so many of us. All are invited! And I hope you can come! We will put that announcement in the special addition newsletter as well.

And then a month later, once we are settled into the new space, we will have an opening ceremony and bless the new space, welcome the ancestors of the land and give rise and celebration to new Karmic beginnings. All are invited to that one as well. It is our intention to transition smoothly from one spot to the other, and not have to close at all. Fingers crossed.

We will continue to keep you posted as we move forward. Thank you all for your support and continued patronage. It makes a huge difference in the success of this move. Keep an eye out for the special addition newsletter later this month.
In the meantime, come enjoy some yoga with us in the last few months at this space. Remember to do as nature does this time of year-hunker down, cozy up, try not to busy yourself too much.
Pray for snow, so the spring rivers will flow- And keep close to your inner sun for warmth. Happy Holidays from our hearts to yours.

Much love,
Katrina

Dec 4 - Jan 3 ~ The Cosmic Download
“When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going”
We are on the precipice between 2025 and 2026. While the year change in the Gregorian calendar is more arbitrary, it marks a significant point in our current collective psyche. It is a mile marker for life events. As we approach the close of this year, many energies are on the cusp of significant change. A tidal shift in consciousness is coming.

While there will be an expansion of cognition and intellect, there is an even greater leap in heart awareness flowing through the collective field. This means that some old and outdated ways of perception are dissolving, and we are being called to an expanded plane of awareness. In the moment, this may present as challenges and seemingly radical shifts. This is the proverbial “when the going gets tough.” But you were born for these times, and you came here to grow and to expand. So, “the tough get going.”

This lunar cycle begins with the Gemini Full Moon on Dec 4. Gemini is the consciousness of duality, perception, innovation, curiosity, adaptability, and the mind. While this time may illuminate polarities, if we lift our gaze and open our hearts, we will see a path where there is unity, connection, networking, possibility, and opening.

On Dec 10, retrograde Neptune goes direct. This is a huge shift of energy. Neptune is both the ocean and the Cosmos. Neptune retrograded into Pisces and is closing a 164-year cycle of time and consciousness. Neptune will march forth into Aries in January 2026. These last weeks in Pisces are a call to return to our spiritual foundation so that we are prepared for the evolutionary changes coming in 2026.

Mars enters Capricorn on Dec 14. Mars is the masculine principle, and when in balance, it represents truth-seeking, open-heartedness, good leadership, right desire, and harnessing the will to support the Dharma. Capricorn is the energy Karma & Dharma, creating structure to support community and evolution, wisdom, the elders, the ancient and cosmic knowings of the heart, and rules, laws and justice. As an archetype, Capricorn the goat-fish. The goat is the animal that can navigate the terrestrial plane most adeptly, and the fish is its counterpart of the watery ocean- the material and the spiritual. We are being asked to walk in balance in both worlds and to take action with our Dharma.

Dec 19 is the Sagittarius New Moon. A new cycle to seek truth, begin a vision quest, journey into the heart, study philosophy, and hold to your faith.

The Winter Solstice is Dec 21 as the Sun moves into Capricorn. This is a mystical point on the wheel of the year that represents rebirth, renewal, and the return of the light. This is a time of deep wisdom, ceremony, gathering together in community, and creating the structure for the teachings of the heart to be shared.
Venus joins Mars and the Sun in Capricorn on Dec 24, Christmas Eve. Capricorn energy is the Holly King (Santa Claus) — the wise father, and Venus in Capricorn is the goddess Durga-Ma — the cosmic mother. Some consider Venus to be the “Christmas Star” heralding a time of awakening consciousness.

Mercury joins the Capricorn party on New Year's Day, Jan 1. The psychopomp and messenger of the Soul is being called into action. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Listen to your deep intuition, follow your inner authority (your inner Aum), and be your Dharma in the world. Now is the time. Capricorn (Saturn or Cronus) rules and measures time.

On Jan 2, Chiron goes direct and will move through the final degrees of Aries before entering Ta**us for 7 years in 2026. When a planet is in the final degrees of a sign, it is the crucible. It is when the seasons, the teachings, and the meaning of the cycle are to be understood and integrated. This cycle started in 2018 and has been focused on healing our collective masculine, or Yang, energies.

The Cancer Full Moon is Jan 3 and brings luminosity to the year's change.

Together We Will Sail Into The Mystic... Sometimes The Poison Is The Medicine

Full Moon Blessings.
I am just going to jump right in head first.
I have good news and bad news.

I am going to start with the bad news to get it out of the way. It is the splinter.
We need to move Karma to a new home. We have been asked to leave. The landlords have a vision for the building and unfortunately we can’t afford the new rent they are asking to make that vision happen. So we need to move on. They initially said we needed to be out by Dec. 1st.

I am of course heart sick. And a little stunned. Karma is our home. It has been a healing sanctuary for so many for so long and the whole vibe and energy at Karma is so so special and beautiful. The spirit of the studio is so moving, it holds a feeling of healing love. It is a sanctuary for the soul.

And its because of everyone who has ever rolled out their mat and found a part of themselves again. Every time someone has returned to themSelves while in class- or a meditation, or training, workshop, or a soundbath, or a healing session or just by walking through the doors…everyone’s individual healing- or aha moments has helped create the strong Shakti vibration that permeates the whole sweet space.

Plus-our teachers are truly some of Denver’s finest, if not the world over.
They really are super masterful teachers. And the same is to be said for our genuinely supportive support staff-We have cleaners, receptionists, blanket washers, lawn maintenance- and they are all volunteers- some have been with us for 16 years.
And we have such a vibrant and loving community-our membership is the strongest it is ever been and we have so many really kind people in our big loving Karma family. And then there is our extended family who have had to move away, but still are tuned in through the unified field.

I don’t even know how to say how I feel about our Karma family. You all are my peeps. I love you so much. It makes me cry.
Yes-I know. Its good to cry.
And I have been. Sometimes it just hits and I let the holy waters flow.
Michael too. He cries too sometimes.
The bonnie boat is sailing off into the mystic.
I will deeply miss this beautiful space very much. It has been a good friend. And a good healer. She is a part of me-of many of you-and she will always be in our hearts as a fond and strong friend.
I cannot honor all you beautiful souls enough. Thank you to the whole Karma family.

But the party isn’t over. This is just the beginning of the next chapter of Karma. We are excited to have the opportunity to spread our wings into the next iteration of ourselves. And I see this as an opportunity to expand our community. We need more opportunities for connection with each other and I think the next establishment will bring that into fruition. I see it. And I have seen it coming for a little while. So I think this is the Universe knocking us out of the nest. Go on to bigger and brighter fields of opportunity. We are strong and ready for spreading our wings. Its time to fly.

Remember this isn’t our first rodeo. Karma had a whole other embodiment in our first six years of business. From 2009-2015 Karma lived in west Wash Park-
until the landlord sold the building once our lease was up and the new owners scraped it. We had 3 months to find a new home-we kept the torch lit and found the place we are currently living.
Oh my goodness. When we found this space I knew.
I knew it was a God-send. One of our sisters in community was on the look out and tipped us off to the little sign that said “for rent” -similar to the one that is out there now. That was 11 years ago.

And here we are again. And although I will truly miss this version of Karma, I know know her next embodiment is going to be a knock out. And I look forward to seeing it unfold.

Now for the good news-
After some very challenging meetings with my landlord, I am happy to say I was able to negotiate some more time. We went from an immediate “eviction” of Dec. 1, to now we have an extended rental period-we can stay until Mar. 1.
The trade off is they increased our rent 17% for the next 4 months, but that is coming down from the 33% increase that they raised it to in September-all of which is a big reason why we need to go. There is a lot more to the story as to the reason we are needing to go, but suffice it to say the rent alone is reason enough. But I believe the high road is always a cleaner path to travel. So I will leave it at that for now.

This experience has been an excellent teacher, testing my fortitude and commitment to this practice. I keep singing Van Morrison, “We were born before the wind, and also younger than the sun, ‘ere the bonnie boat was won, as we sailed into the mystic”. I think its to remind myself that there is so much more moving through the field, than just our little ego selves.
I am doing my best to stay in the higher fields of consciousness, and be a Queen. I am doing my best not to get sucked into anger and resentment and fear.
Ah Yoga, you are such a good friend.

The extended time gives us time to finish our Yoga Teacher Training program that is in session until the end of January. We can have the holidays without disruption, and we can all come together and dive deeper as a community. It gives us time to find the just right space. And we will. Just like we did before. And when that fog horn blows, I’ll be coming home.

We can use February to move, (its gonna take a whole month just to move the plants😎. And then in March, we can start the spring with a new beginning. I am excited!

And of course I am a little scared. But the butterflies in my stomach are helping me spread the wings on my back.
Our backs. Michael is my wing man. And I am so very grateful for this beautiful man. He is my rock.

We actually have a beautiful space in mind that we found. And it is for sale and it would be perfect. Its super close to where we are now and has way more space. We have a realtor helping us- to not only pursue this property, which is sadly a tad bit out of our price range, but yet within the realms of possibility so we will try, and he is also showing us other properties-both for sale and for lease.
And please, if you know of a space you think would be a good fit, please send it our way. We will check it out.

Ultimately I am grateful we have some time to find a new home. I am sad, sad, sad to go. But sometimes the poison is the medicine. And even though this seems like a terrible thing, I believe something truly important is coming out of it and it will be for the benefit of us all.

One thing I know for sure, that as long as our thoughts, words, and actions are in alignment with the highest good, all will be alright. And right now, I am holding the reigns of integrity in one hand and lovingkindness in the other, and I feel inspired by the opportunity to grow and evolve. I have pointed the bow of the ship to True North, and I am confident that our sweet bonnie boat will sail into the mystic with God’s grace, and we will land on the other side of this with and it will rock our gypsy souls. I can’t wait.

Until then, lets enjoy this sweet space while we still have it. Come in and do yoga and connect with the community. Its so good to do anyway…but now extra reason to take class.

Many of you have suggested we do a GoFundMe or raise the rates in order to meet the rent increase. We appreciate your support around that. We really don't want to go there, but eventually we might have to do one or both, and only if it is necessary to stay afloat. But not yet. And we won’t do anything until we know what we need, and how much. For now, we will just carry on with business as usual. We still have the same excellent teachers and classes and staff and students. And for a few more months, we still have our sacred space.

Michael and I have so much to be grateful for at this Thanksgiving time. And most of all, we are grateful for our beautiful community. Many of you have reached out with love and offerings of support, and we can’t tell you what that means to us.
I am humbled and deeply moved.

I believe Great Spirit is the true captain of this boat, and we are in good hands. Although my heart is heavy, it is also so Light, and I feel confident we are being guided to where we need to be. Trust is key. And together we will sail into the mystic.

I will leave you with a quote by Gandhi,
“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won.”

Wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving holiday,
Much love,
Katrina

Astrology Report | Nov 5 - Dec 4, 2025 | "Sometime The Poison Is Actually The Medicine"
There is a well-established principle in both modern and ancient healing practices that sometimes a poison can serve as medicine. Anti-venom for snake bites is produced from the actual venom. The flu shot is derived from the flu virus. In biology, this concept is called hormesis, where a low-level stress, toxin, restriction, or poison actually promotes greater health, resilience, and growth. Paracelsus, the renowned Swiss physician, alchemist, and philosopher of the German Renaissance, stated that “all things are poison, and nothing is without poison; only the dose permits something not to be poisonous.” This serves as the fundamental principle of homeopathy—like cures like. A substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used in diluted form to treat similar symptoms in someone who is sick.

This all seemed pertinent to this month’s astrology cycle, where there are a number of retrogrades, directs, and Ta**us/Scorpio energy, which have to do with transformation, survival, health, growth, and sometimes poison. From the Soul realm, whether something is poison or medicine depends on perception of the mind and time. Time can change everything, including our perceptions. What was once the worst thing might actually become the best force for evolution and growth over time.

This cycle begins with the Ta**us Full Moon on November 5. It is also the Beaver Moon and a Super Full Moon. This will illuminate themes of survival, thriving, standing your ground, resources, the body, real estate, and your values. There could be challenges to test whether you will stand firm in your value system when challenged. It is also an opportunity for growth and healing of old karmic wounds and samskaras- repeated patterns of behavior and thought that do not serve. Ta**us is also an expression of joy! Trusts, stand firm like the bull, and know that the light of the full moon is medicine for your Soul.

Venus enters Scorpio on Nov 6, and Uranus retrogrades back into Ta**us on Nov 7, remaining until April 26, 2026. Ta**us and Scorpio are Yin and Yang, representing the astrological axis of survival. Venus is calling for vulnerability or deep honesty. And Uranus in Ta**us acts like a lightning strike or volcanic eruption—the sky and earth will move. This is especially significant because it is the last time Uranus will be in Ta**us for nearly 80 years, marking the end of a cycle that began in the 1930s and ’40s. Is this good or bad? Poison or medicine. Yes. There may be radical changes, but anything that doesn’t support our greater evolution is likely to be transformed. This process makes space for resilience, growth, healing, and ultimately, inner joy.

Mercury goes retrograde from Sagittarius to Scorpio from Nov 9-29. Sagittarius is wisdom, truth, trust, faith, and embarking on a new journey or quest. Scorpio symbolizes transformation and is represented by the scorpion, the snake, and the eagle or phoenix. What was once poison and a seeming death is alchemized into renewal, rebirth, and evolution — but first, look at the underworld to see what we must learn and know a truth.

Nov 19 is the Scorpio New Moon. Bringing in more themes of transformation, resurrection, and challenge, becoming a potential triumph, realization, and new cycle of growth. “Sometimes The Poison Is Actually The Medicine.” Do ceremony, reflect, and go inward to your hridyam heart and intuition this day.

The astrological month of Sagittarius runs from Nov 21 to Dec 21 and marks the final month of fall as the Sun moves into the sign of the Guru, the teacher, and the truths of the heart. Seek inner wisdom, clarity, connect to nature, and hold a vision in your heart of where you are questing and journeying toward in your Soul and life. Hold the vision firm.

Finally, Saturn goes direct on Nov 27, followed by Mercury on Nov 29. These are big tidal shifts in energy that may bring great clarity about how a trial, toxin, or challenge was actually the alchemical fire that initiated growth, healing, and the expansion of consciousness.

These are all preparations for major changes in 2026. More to come on this…See you at the Sagittarius Full Moon on Dec 4.
