Members, friends, and yoga community,

I’m sad to announce that we will be closing The Yoga Casa. We have searched high and low for a new space, but it just doesn’t seem to be in the cards right now. Honestly, I can’t say what the future holds for The Yoga Casa. We have a fantastic community, and I encourage all of you to stay in touch with each other (and me and the teachers too!)

I am deeply saddened to be ending this chapter of my life. Running the studio has been the most challenging, rewarding roller coaster ride of a lifetime. I’ve loved and hated it, sometimes simultaneously. Yet, I would do it all over again. Maybe I will re-open again at some point with new vigor and energy, but at this point, frankly, I’m tired and need time with my kids, who are now 16, 9 and 8 (but were only 11, 4 and 3 when I started this crazy endeavor).

My plan is to take an actual vacation (with no emails to check, no fires to put out and no work to do after they go to bed.) I will be out of commission for all of June and July. You know it’s hard for me not to work, but Mr. Yoga Casa is pretty insistent that I need this break. He’s a wonderfully supportive spouse, AND he’s right.

We will hold classes until May 21st (when we will have a studio closing party). We are planning a "yoga garage sale" for May 28th.

The Yoga Casa teachers have been so supportive and understanding of this decision. Please reach out to them and continue to support their work!

I am so grateful to all of you who have supported us through the many ups and downs. We’ve been through so much together. Building out the space, getting to know each other, dealing with construction, plumbing issues, surviving a pandemic, figuring out Zoom, enjoying book club, getting back into the studio, construction, lots of holiday celebrations and even more construction. The best part has been knowing all of you and being a part of your lives. I will miss that more than you know.

Much love to you all,
Lora

Such a small way to show that we are a studio that welcomes all and yet it still is met with resistance….(from out front of our studio today)

We are trying a new class in coordination with Euless Family Life Center. If Euless is closer to you than Colleyville, then check us out on your side of town. Juliette will be teaching and (as always) this class will be body positive and beginner friendly!!

I posted an article a while back about the state of our teen girls in this country and it was depressing. It made me wonder, what is going on with our girls? I think these Dove videos can give us some clues.

Dove reveals that the appearance hate caused by toxic beauty standards is a $500+ billion public health crisis – and young people pay the biggest price.

Who do you admire most today?

Could teaching kids about nutrition be BAD for them? Here’s an article that delves into this idea with some interesting stats.

And why we need to move beyond food binaries

There was a fabulous party at the studio this month. Whoever planned did a great job (wink, wink). Here's some pictures. Remember that we rent out the studio for small parties and such. $100/hour for our larger room (the one pictured here). More info: https://theyogacasa.lpages.co/studio-rental-page

This is Samuel my walking partner, coworker and constant companion.

​The other day we were out walking and I thought about some things. When I take Samuel for a walk, he doesn’t count steps. He doesn’t worry about the distance we have gone or the time we have spent on our strides. He does stop and smell the “roses” (or the duck p**p, whichever he finds first). He does notice the sights and sounds that surround him. When we stop, he pauses to feel the breeze on his dark chocolate nose. He says “hello” to every single person we pass by. Samuel knows how to take a walk at a level I admire. He savors every moment. When the we return home, if he is tired, he rests. If he wants more, he goes to the backyard and lays down in the sun and lets it bake into his skin like lemon cupcakes in the oven......Read more on our blog:
