If you have been hesitant to try yoga because you feel a single session won't make an impact, I encourage you to reconsider. Even one minute or one hour can make a significant difference, and a single class is the first step toward building a lasting practice. It's the same with a one day shutdown. It is a step that can lead to a larger action with greater impact.

On a more serious note, witnessing the sudden disappearance of our neighbors due to ICE activity is terrifying and deeply shameful. Seeing fellow business owners forced to halt operations is harmful to both our local economy and our collective morale.

Today’s shutdown is an opportunity to reorient ourselves away from fear and disillusionment. We need positive signs and messages of hope as we explore various methods of solidarity.

has remained open seven days a week for the past five years, closing only for power outages and on Christmas Day. We will reopen tomorrow and remain committed to serving you every day. Please check your email for a subscriber notice regarding our next steps for supporting the community.

A sweet family friendly, child-based protest happens in Laurelhurst Park today at 2:45pm led by

, located one block away from where Alex Pretti was murdered, and 2 miles from where Renee Good was murdered. Their community is in deep grief to say the very least and is asking for support: https://gofund.me/7635a1a8a

Economic Solidarity:
Don't make purchases Friday - use what you have at home
order from or financially support the business that closed in solidarity (but do that today or on Saturday)

Visibility & Voice

write letters to local newspapers or comment on new articles

Community Care
offer rides to protests or actions for those who can attend
document and photograph actions safely to amplify on social media

Indirect Action
organize or join community meeting to plan ongoing actions
sign petitions supporting the specific demands

Thank you for the call ins to take these actions and future actions. Respect and solidarity.

ILOVEYOU and here's a pic of our two rescues bonding.

In February, I am opening a second Elk Rock Yoga studio inside Elk Rock Outpost. This new location will bring yoga, movement, and community into a space many already know for its meaningful merchandise. While the Outpost was originally intended for mixed-use events, I am now dedicating a portion of the space to yoga full-time.

Many have asked about my teaching schedule for the coming year. Currently, I am focused on private and corporate classes, as well as our teacher training program. The wonderful instructors who stepped in to cover my regular classes have built such strong communities that I want them to continue growing in those roles.

I will be adding myself to the weekly schedule at the Outpost. However, as I continue to manage fatigue following my cancer treatments, I am seeking additional teachers to join the team. While I would love to teach every day, I am learning to prioritize my recovery and health management behind the scenes.

I look forward to sharing this beautiful new home for practice with you. Please stay tuned for the full schedule, opening-day details, and registration information.

Love,
Fawn

ORIGIN STORY

In my early twenties I fronted a band, lived in a skate shop in San Francisco and wore the heck outta some pleather and animal print🐆. Studying jazz composition and postmodern dance by day, serving punk shows by night, these were my formative years, and when I first began using yoga for self care. The yoga scene back then was pretty much only vinyasa. As a dancer I really didn’t benefit from practicing extreme yoga postures. Lucky for me my dance teacher always taught a few restorative and yin poses. I found these poses soothing to my whole system, unlike the sweaty vinyasa rooms which seemed oddly competitive, and stressful. I found much needed peace through gentleness, presence, stillness, and contemplation.
