Grief. It might seem odd to feel profound loss at a beloved yoga studio closing its doors. A space that was, that is, the heartbeat of my life. It was a place that cushioned, comforted & nurtured me, wrapping its arms around me in a deep embrace. It was a place of safety, where masks could be cast aside & where I could just be. A place where i didn't have to reach for those impossible illusions that society demands in exchange for validity. I belonged. This little studio bought me back home to me & allowed my aching heart to once again know peace..
It bought kindred spirits in search of greater meaning, truth & authenticity together. We cried, laughed and drank chilli & cherry tea together. It is these communites & connections that bring meaning to our lives.
My heart is breaking today and now I must grieve. The community will undoubtedly evolve & transform as all things do, but for now my heart must weep.
"I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it's not some place you can look for. Because it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something. And if you find that moment, it lasts forever." The Beach
