I am now one year post-op after having five organs removed. As a slow processor, I am only now beginning to fully feel the weight of this experience, and I find myself feeling quite overextended. Despite these challenges, I feel incredibly lucky to have a community of friends and clients committed to building body trust and uplifting one another every day.

My schedule remains full; so far this week, I have taught five classes, a yoga therapy lesson, and a workshop, with another workshop and a yoga teacher training scheduled for this weekend. Amidst this, I have also spent quality time with my son during his spring break and even managed to see some old friends once.

To help stabilize the yoga studio business, I am hoping to secure a retail partner this month. While I anticipated recouping last year's cancer-related expenditures by now, this year has proven to be very expensive as well. I am confident that things will improve, but my immediate priority is ensuring that rent and our teachers are paid on time.

There are many ways to support this "little engine that could" as we navigate this period like signing up for the upcoming Self Defense Workshop in April. I appreciate your ongoing support of our community, and honestly want to hear how others are navigating this world right now.

Sending hope and joy your way.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a brief appreciation post for the power of acupuncture and plug for my next workshop. My history with this practice goes back to my teaching at Alma Midwifery around 13 years ago, where I began collaborating with acupuncturists Kathryn Peake and Amber Hinks on yoga and acupuncture events. Those sessions were always special, and as we experienced last weekend, truly therapeutic.

During an our Sunday Yin and Acupuncture workshop, Lindsey treated the scar on my right pec where I received chemo and immunotherapy last year. I am now about five months away from my port removal, and after a year focused on protection and recovery, my scars feel the intensity of long teaching days. Lindsey’s touch was so light I barely felt the needle, yet the treatment allowed my pec minor to release from a long-held pattern of fear. As I rested in savasana along with the rest of our crew, my shoulder finally dropped, widening the space around my port scar and truly opening my heart for spring.

If you are looking to move through similar stagnancy, I invite you to join my upcoming workshop, "Tech Neck."

While this is not an acupuncture workshop, it is a yoga therapy session focused on opening the heart space and tuning the upper thoracic and cervical regions through breath, postures, and empowerment.

Workshop Details:

- Location: Woodstock Studio
- Date: Saturday, March 27th
- Time: 12:00 PM
- Cost: $55

I hope to see you there.

Dear Friends,

Starting in April I am looking for reliable partners to share my retail space on East Burnside.

The space is approximately 1000 square feet with competitive commercial rent. The agreement requires a six-month minimum commitment plus a security deposit. Amenities include high-speed internet, climate control, one bathroom, a separate utility sink, changing rooms, and some storage. Partners will add to the existing inventory, work store hours, and keep 100% of their sales.

The location has a great atmosphere and an established customer base. Over the past year, we have successfully hosted winter markets, tastings, sound baths, yoga classes, live music, and painting demonstrations. Currently, I use one-third of the retail space for my inventory. We share an entrance with our yoga studio, which offers additional events outside of standard store hours.

If you have products and are ready to launch on East Burnside, please reach out to me directly.

I am thrilled to offer a seasonal workshop in the cute new space tomorrow!Lindsey will offer her wisdom on traditional C...

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.
