In February, I am opening a second Elk Rock Yoga studio inside Elk Rock Outpost. This new location will bring yoga, movement, and community into a space many already know for its meaningful merchandise. While the Outpost was originally intended for mixed-use events, I am now dedicating a portion of the space to yoga full-time.

Many have asked about my teaching schedule for the coming year. Currently, I am focused on private and corporate classes, as well as our teacher training program. The wonderful instructors who stepped in to cover my regular classes have built such strong communities that I want them to continue growing in those roles.

I will be adding myself to the weekly schedule at the Outpost. However, as I continue to manage fatigue following my cancer treatments, I am seeking additional teachers to join the team. While I would love to teach every day, I am learning to prioritize my recovery and health management behind the scenes.

I look forward to sharing this beautiful new home for practice with you. Please stay tuned for the full schedule, opening-day details, and registration information.

Love,
Fawn

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!

Calling all cold-island-lovers!

The beautiful qualities of Orcas Island are made even more special when shared with yoga friends. We still have room on this year's retreat at the lovely Doe Bay Resort + Retreat center.

It's my pleasure to offer a space where friends can investigate their inner nature, surrounded by the helpful forest and ocean spirits. Nov 6-10.

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.

ORIGIN STORY

In my early twenties I fronted a band, lived in a skate shop in San Francisco and wore the heck outta some pleather and animal print🐆. Studying jazz composition and postmodern dance by day, serving punk shows by night, these were my formative years, and when I first began using yoga for self care. The yoga scene back then was pretty much only vinyasa. As a dancer I really didn’t benefit from practicing extreme yoga postures. Lucky for me my dance teacher always taught a few restorative and yin poses. I found these poses soothing to my whole system, unlike the sweaty vinyasa rooms which seemed oddly competitive, and stressful. I found much needed peace through gentleness, presence, stillness, and contemplation.
