is a yoga studio located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, just one block from where Alex Pretti was murdered and 2 miles from where Renée Good was murdered. At the epicenter of violence and grief, this studio has remained open as a safe haven for their community, providing shelter, supplies, injury treatment, and spiritual and physical care for free or reduced costs. In order to support this work, Yess Yoga has started a GoFundMe seeking $16,000; they have already raised 89% of their goal and need just $2,000 more.

By donating to this cause, you will be helping to sponsor the care of affected residents in Minneapolis and to support a focal point of their community.

Dear friends,

As much as we need spaces to come together and to heal, I have decided to cancel this Friday's event, Decompress & Reconnect Restorative Yoga at Bookeater, to stand in solidarity against ICE presence in our communities. There is no place for terror here.

Happy birthday to my brother and lifelong best friend, Teddy!

When I describe Teddy to other people, the first word that I choose is 'good'. Throughout my life, I have never met a more genuinely, intrinsically, kind person; I have always admired his softness, the way that he treats all beings with empathy and gentleness, and how he makes the world a better place everywhere he goes.

Teddy, I know that I am a better person for having you in my life, and I cannot begin to express how proud I am of the life that you have built for yourself, your commitment to the communities that you have become interwoven with, and how much you grow as a human being each and every day. Thank you for inspiring me, supporting me, and loving me exactly as I am for all these years.

I hope that this next year brings you peace, fulfillment, and joy. I can't wait to see what you do next. 😊

Good morning, everyone!

I arrived in Albuquerque late last night, the stillness of the cool desert air immediately inviting my limbs to rest. There are few places so moving (or holding histories as heavy) as this landscape of yellows and reds. Each time that I return, I am reminded of the expansiveness of our existence, of the profundity of a single stone etching resting beneath a horizon that stretches hundreds of miles before the eyes.

I look forward to returning home bearing the peace and wholeness of heart that being here, surrounded by loved ones, brings. Until then, please remember that I will not be leading any classes this week -- the Yene Yoga regular schedule will return Tuesday, 12/16.

In gratitude,
Betsy
