No, I’m Not OK . . . And that’s OK
It’s like removing a coat I’ve worn for so long - a coat woven from three decades of teaching, healing, and growing.
As I carefully unravel each thread, I realize it no longer fits who I’m becoming. This is my story of rising from the ashes of what once was.
Yoga became my medicine at 19 - my answer to addiction, emotional instabilities, and the deep quest to understand who I truly am. It transformed into my teaching, my life’s work, my truth.
Now, as I close our studio and step away from sharing this sacred practice that saved me, I’m not OK. And I’m choosing to honor that truth. This isn’t just a physical space or business - it’s woven into every fabric of my entire being.
Like an intricately woven tapestry, I’m gently pulling apart:
• Three decades of relationships - business partners, long-time students, exceptional teachers, friends, and so much more
• Countless shared moments - from happy & adventurous to emotional & heartbreaking, from complicated & challenging to sweet & generous
• Deeply rooted identity of who I’ve become, some fueled by stories that no longer fit, some just seeds of what I am to become
Each thread reveals memories, trauma, stressors, people, places... pieces of who I thought I was.
This is a sacred release. A sacred ending.
And no, I don’t know what’s next.
Please don’t ask me to predict tomorrow when I’m carefully unwinding today.
I’m sitting with this discomfort.
I’m allowing myself to be sad.
I’m giving myself permission to be confused.
I’m honoring this transition, thread by thread.
This is my journey of Conscious Unraveling.
And in this space of not being OK,
I am exactly where I need to be.
