Yoga Union

Fall is a cold wet curtain,

coming down on us

as a mother at dusk

urges her children in

before they’re quite ready

to stop the play for dinner.



We sit behind

a startling discovery –

questions in our own

writing on the walls.

From a time we drummed and jotted

big things in small pictures.

When the ink moved

our hand over dark surfaces.

And flames flickered

a thin glow of remembrance.



May we be encouraged to read

and to study once more

And to begin again with questions –

Of what nature is this return?

Of what changes within?

Of what remains?



What do we fall back on exactly?

What choices?



We’re going for a ride now

negotiation can’t change it.

We’ll be taken down

This dark hole once more.

What jags and snags may we bump into?

What becomes all too real?

What patterns we have seen?

What habits and what fears?

Is there something beyond

we can descend upon?

A deeper place.

Where is the bottom this time?



And where will we go for warmth when warmth is needed?

How Was Amanda's Class? Greetings! Thank you for checking out Amanda's class on Thursday. We'd love to know what you thought, so feel free to reach out. We recognize taking class from a new teacher takes an open mind, perhap

Yoga, movement, breath, and community ARE essential business, especially in times of chaotic uncertainty 🌪

In the nearly two decades of practicing yoga & fourteen years of studio ownership, we’ve been present to the folks in our community who have had to weather some very serious storms in their lives. We’ve weathered a few ourselves ☔️

It’s always been our policy that, for folks going through a particularly difficult time, yoga is on the house. Many have taken us up on the offer and leveraged their practice as a processing tool. We have heard countless stories from our beloved community about how yoga and community played an integral role in healing from the trauma of loss, and kept them sane as they navigated extreme existential uncertainty 📖

Right now, we are all going through a difficult time. On top of that, our house has been closed down. We have no available sanctuary to offer 🏡

While we understand the logic behind the government ordered shelter in place laws - and safety is paramount - closure seems like it adds insult to injury 😢

We find ourselves wondering why so many corporate monoliths remain open while so many small businesses have had to close up shop 🖐

Yoga teaches us to let go of our grasping for things beyond our control so we can free up bandwidth for that which we can 🙏

If you didn’t know, we opened an online class platform where you can enjoy a full virtual class schedule for just $15 per month. If you’re not able to pay this, please reach out so we can help. If you want to help ensure a sanctuary to return to after this blows over, please tell your friends far and wide about our virtual offerings. Encourage them to lean into yoga this way. There’s never been a better time for practice than now 🕰

Thank you family. Stay safe and healthy 🧘🏼‍♀️
