As many of you know, Totem Yoga has been closed for a little over 3 months now due to COVID-19. And we are hoping to reopen soon!
Right now, we are raising a crowd-backed, 0% loan on KIVA and we hope some of our tribe would be willing to back our campaign. Or if you cannot lend, if you could please share this with friends, we would greatly appreciate it!!!
https://www.kiva.org/lend/1974127
We have already raised 60% of our loan amount, and have 44 days left to raise the remainder. If we do not raise the full amount, we will not receive the loan, and all crowdfunding lending is returned.
The funds from this loan will go towards reopening the studio and catching up on back rent and utilities, as well as helping with a remodel we started during the pandemic.
Your contribution helps prove our creditworthiness and build momentum in the campaign. We would like to ask you to lend as little as $25.
With KIVA, once we reach our goal of raising $6000, the amount that you lend will be PAID BACK TO YOU over the length of our loan, which is 24 months).
Totem Yoga will be backed by Kiva’s wider community of 1.6mm lenders.
More about Kiva: Kiva is the first and largest micro-lending service in the world that has distributed $1 billion across 86 different countries, among 1.5 million small businesses.
Recently, Kiva and Sofia Vegara announced a goal to raise $50mm to support businesses around the world affected by Covid-19.
If you would like to help us out, please follow this link to our campaign page https://www.kiva.org/lend/1974127
We send out a big thank you to our community for your support. We are deeply grateful!
Much love - Jude and Frankie

Juniper (Juniperus) is an ancient Grandfather tree connected to the sun, the south and the element of fire. The oldest trees are over 3,000 years old, attesting to the deep wisdom in the medicine they offer. The years it requires for the berries to ripen teaches us to draw from experience, just as elders do. Juniper is energetically warming in the body and tends to move towards the lungs, the place where we often store grief. Like a grandfather, he holds us in a nurturing light as we process and clear grief, as well as other challenging emotions.
Trees often support us in grounding and finding our center as they grow upright. Juniper medicine is much different as the branches move and flow, twist and turn in different directions. This resembles Juniper’s unique ability to unwind what has become twisted within us so we can remember who we are. This process requires deep forgiveness, a virtue Juniper embodies well. Forgiveness is one of the deepest blessings we can offer ourselves and others. It frees us from the painful cycle of reliving hurt over and over again. It transforms guilt into peace, opens the door for compassion and moves us into resolve. Self forgiveness sparks the flame of faith in our readiness to move forward and do things differently.
Working with Juniper will help activate the light of forgiveness and send it to every dark corner within our being. .
Juniper helps us see life through the lense of peace, acceptance and trust. All life around us, all that happens presents an opportunity for growth and guidance. Everything is helping us, whether it seems to or not. Each day life grants the ability to find a lesson in the challenge or nourishment in the moment. The universe wants nothing more than for us to shine our brightest light. Life is on our side. Juniper holds space for this awareness to bloom within us, and assists us in integrating that perception into our way of life. This way of being not only supports us on emotion and spiritual levels, it nourishes our adrenal glands, nervous systems, aids in digestion and so much more.
