When I turned the corner on 2023 and our 5th year, I realized that the beauty of our studio was in the practice we shared with the community who had outlasted the pandemic.

I wanted desperately to grow the studio, but I knew that we had exactly the kind of classes, teachers and students that we needed as Common Bond. I let 2023 run its course to see how the energy we were putting out into the universe would come back. I had a little hope left in the bank, but I knew to spend it wisely and I thought that maybe, just maybe, my 5th year in business would bring the kind of luck that "they" told us was possible, COVID times notwithstanding.

There was Yoga Beer Church, there were memes and there were a steady stream of studio classes with our reliable teaching crew. And personally, I went on a Honeymoon, pushed my limits on the ice rink, doubled down on Springfield and the incredible Springfield Block Party and spent time with my growing family.

We had started streaming in February of 2020 just for fun. When Covid hit, we switched to 100% streaming and our community quickly embraced Patreon to keep the lights on.

It took awhile to find our style (and get the lighting correct) but I relished in the opportunity to share yoga beyond the walls of our home on Main St. Between March & May of 2020, we had 5K views on our channel!

CB HISTORY 2019: I couldn't stop thinking about yoga collaborations and in 2019, SD&Y added more markets, pop-up Yoga+ Events and corporate wellness classes all over town. Common Bond had 15+ classes per week and expanded our workshops series in early 2020...

People wanted more yoga, and especially yoga that went "beyond" the traditional sweaty, self-aggrandizing performative fitness space.

In January of 2018 we had two "studios" in the works, SD&Y's POP-UP Studio and a new lease on 326 Main Street, in the heart of Springfield.

We soft-opened Common Bond in March, Grand Opening in April and still ran a full slate of STOP DROP & YOGA events all year long.

Here's some of the photos from 2018.

I'm slowly beginning to accept, what I've already told you, that on April 29th, Common Bond Yoga will be closing its doors. Our Closing Ceremonies Party is April 26th at the Studio.Trying to channel motivation to say goodbye is much harder than hello, but it's an important part of the process.

I will be updating our website with a new page for each YEAR of our existence. In 2017, STOP DROP & YOGA was born with one question: "where are the people who DO NOT do come to the yoga studio?" I set out to find out. In search of the answer, here are some of the places I taught yoga:

While it was a big experiment, creating non-traditional classes in non-traditional locations led me to many of YOU, who are still here in 2025. We'll talk more about Common Bond and its origin this weekend, but it was these classes that started my path out of the wilderness. In fact, you may not know, but I was fired from the first studio I ever taught yoga at. STOP DROP & YOGA made me believe in myself again.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Springfield?

You start at the beginning...

Where to start? That’s the most common question I get. Well, tbh, it comes in the form of, “I’d do yoga, but I’m just NOT flexible,” or, “Oh man, I definitely need to stretch...I’m so inflexible.” Some sort of explanation as to why you (and in that, I mean, everyperson) hasn’t done more yoga in their lives. Let me start by clearing one thing up. We can ALL do more yoga. What the world needs now is more mindfulness based attention to physical, emotional & mental well being, read that as ‘yoga’.

However, where would we begin, but the beginning? There is, literally, nowhere else that we could. And when we begin to talk about yoga, we are ALWAYS talking about beginnings. Those moments that begin in this breath (inhale your hands, over your head...) and then the next one. It is LITERALLY (I’m liking the caps lock today) the definition of yoga. To begin, again, in this moment, as if it was, as it always has been, the ever-present now. This is the yoga.

So let me make a second point, no let me let George Eliot make the second point, “it is NEVER TOO LATE to become the person you might have been,” (emphasis mine). I’ll spare you the long details as to how potently relevant this pithy aphorism is to my life specifically. But I will say that you can only begin in this moment when you’re ready and that you are ready to begin (even if you think you’re not).

One think that I love about teaching yoga is the freedom I have to tell a story (like this one) while I’m casually dropping in Warrior II, Reverse Warrior, etc. Slipping little anecdotes in between grueling and heart opening experiences is my forte. I’ll distract you with camel pose and explode your heart with a five-finger-hand-palm quote. But that’s just it, and, I’ll make my third and final point, yoga cannot be defined by language and time, and, therefore yoga is 100% EMPIRICAL experience through the only experience vector you have: you.
