This week has truly been a challenging one for me. My beloved sanctuary, family, community, and cherished space have shuttered their doors indefinitely. The depth of heartbreak caught me off guard. For 11 years, I’ve shared my passion for yoga in various settings, but Bliss held a special place in my heart. It was the only space where I felt fully accepted for who I am. Throughout my yoga journey, I’ve encountered judgment and bullying, criticized for not conforming to certain ideals – not fitting the mold of being skinny enough, too loud, too raw. But at Bliss, I found solace in being unapologetically myself, celebrated for my authenticity. This acceptance allowed me to radiate my true essence brightly! Bliss Lounge was a beacon of diversity, fostering the sense of family and community I’d longed for to feel at ease and confident. Embracing my true self enabled me to uplift countless souls, including my own, through laughter, tears, invigorating Buti shaking, and moments of pure transcendence. I am immensely grateful to Tara for creating this sacred space, to my fellow teachers and dear friends, and to the community that embraced me wholeheartedly. Carrying this profound gratitude forward, I am excited to continue sharing the light through Buti Yoga every Wednesday night at 7:30 pm at Mother Love Kombucha & my 6-week series at my Buddha beat’s studio!
