Hey you guys, it’s been awhile, huh? 😁
Quick catch up before I share the real reason I’m here: after closing the studio, I went into healthcare, taking a job at IU Health. Then I got covid (delta variant) and, as a vegan yogi, I never in my wildest dreams would have imagined it would be as bad as it was. Ultimately, I can no longer do very strenuous stuff, so my strong practice is gone (which was a BIG practice of aparigraha, non-attachment!). I then basically had to quit my job because I couldn’t physically do it, but that opened up the opportunity for me to find something better: a similar role, but remote! I now live in NYC, which I identify as “my soul’s home.” My bunnies have both crossed the rainbow bridge and now I’m mama to the sweetest rescue pup, . Life is really, really good!

Okay, now to tell you something that is making my heart burst over and over!
💞
The community that was born at Breathing Space nearly 10 years ago has continued to evolve!
You may remember the cheery light that is Sarah Handy. She was a constant in our studio for awhile, nurturing it with her love as she helped care for it after classes. (Side note: y’all know I’m a freak about clean floors; I’ve never seen someone mop with so much love as Sarah!!!)
By the time our second Yoga Teacher Training program was getting scheduled, she was ready. She wasn’t sure how she’d afford it, but she was so excited…sooo excited that she spoke of it to some of her regulars at her restaurant gig, and a lovely couple asked to sponsor her! They could see the joy and love she has for the practice so clearly and felt called to support her! 🥹
At the same time, one of our long-time supporters (and favorite dentist 😉) donated a brand new Manduka Yoga mat “to a student in need.” Right away I knew it was meant for Sarah.
Now, you can go practice with Sarah, teaching from that same mat in her own space, .0, at 65th & Binford!
She’s already doing a fantastic job of recruiting familiar faces, so check out the website, check out her Instagram, then check out a class!
You better believe I will be by next time I’m in town 🤗🫶🏼
