Yoga With Fawn

10/25/2025

The concept of an anti-capitalist small business owner presents a fascinating philosophical paradox for me, and it was a significant reason why I decided to create a separate retail space. My aim was to distance the act of purchasing from the practice of yoga, as I found that having items for sale—beyond our unique merchandise designed by local female artists—became a distraction within the yoga space itself.

While I generally dislike conflict, I continually find myself engaging with these inherent tensions. I appreciate the camaraderie of knowing many other small business owners who grapple with this daily. I also consider it a great privilege to participate in stewarding special places where people can reconnect, slow down, engage with their right brain, and be embodied.

I touch on a little of this in my interview with which debuts on Sunday. I haven't heard the final edits, but hopefully you can hear how much we enjoyed each other.

Hi friends,

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be offering intuitive tarot readings at The Outpost on Saturday November 1 from 12-5.

We’ll co-create 15-20 minute sessions to explore, reflect and gain insights. We’ll serve tea and get cozy.

This time of year the veil between worlds thins, making it a wonderful opportunity to tune into support of your guides, ancestors, and beloveds.

A special thank you to for the amazing Skeptic Fox logo!

Letter to a friend:

It's been a weird year and I'm hoping birthday month will signify renewal. Ultimately I'll be healing for a while from all those toxins/surgery, but already feeling a little better each day. It is the most bonkers 50th birthday I never really wanted, or expected, but I am alive.

The team at Legacy oncology was filled with rockstars and thank the goddesses for Oregon health plan, they actually just kicked us off for being barely above the income limit and I'm not even medically stable yet! But luckily Legacy approved us for their financial assistance program so I can stick with them for ongoing "surveillance".

We have been juggling a lot financially along with the health stuff so I've created several donation options. I feel loved that's for sure and so lucky. See below.

This summer, through Portland Means Progress's partnership with Worksystems—a non-profit dedicated to helping individuals gain essential skills and training for employment—Elk Rock Outpost was able to host two interns.

The timing of their support was crucial, especially while I was undergoing cancer treatment. The interns learned industry-standard software for small business retail, created displays, and were instrumental in helping establish new systems. This truly was a win-win scenario for everyone involved.

Having opened a new space in May, The Outpost, during a challenging time for me personally and economically, I find strength and peace in the practice of yoga.

I know that special places are important. I set up a GoFundMe to get The Outpost on solid ground. I believe I can do it, but need some help during this crucial first year. My goal is $8000.

The Elk Rock Yoga True Self Teacher Training Program applications are officially open through 9/15. I host this program just once a year because it requires focused time, attention, and care to welcome, orient, and fully integrate trainees into our close-knit community.

This commitment is well worth it. Our training isn’t a mass enrollment where dozens get lost in the shuffle. Instead, when you apply, you receive a personal 20-minute session with our Lead Facilitator, ME—no bots, no automated messaging. This time is dedicated solely to you, guiding you through the next steps so you can make the most of your journey.

What inspires you to join us?
-Are you looking for a space where your whole life matters—where healing, emotions, and radical care are embraced?
-Would you benefit from compassionate accountability that keeps you focused yet protects you from burnout?

I passionately believe that heart-centered teachers need to thrive—and that means you need to thrive. If our Teacher Training Program calls to you, I encourage you to take that step.

Dear friends,

Sometimes, the stories we tell ourselves fade away, and we connect on a deeper level, heart to heart. For the past four years, old friends, Elk Rock Yoga students, fellow facilitators, and hosts have gathered on a midsummer's day to move, play, laugh, and breathe together at Wild Sanctuary.

If you're eager for another heart-opening experience and can't wait until next year, we invite you to join us for our annual Salish Sea Retreat from November 6-10 on Orcas Island. This is another favorite seasonal pilgrimage for many.

You can find links and registration details at elkrockyoga.com.

xo,
Fawn
