Before Gray Lane, I was teaching at another studio. Then the pandemic happened and in October 2021, I got a phone call that changed everything. By the end of that month, the studio, now fully online, would be closing.

Suddenly, I had 30 students looking at me. Not just for the next class, but for what came next.

I tried to make the online space work. I really did. But as the world reopened, something became clear, people needed more. More than a screen. More than convenience. They needed connection.

Within six months, more than half of those students were no longer practicing.

And I couldn’t ignore what that meant.

So I started looking for a space.

Honestly… it felt impossible. Every place I found came with a price tag that felt completely out of reach. At the time, my husband and I had two kids under the age of three and were really only living on his income. We were barely staying afloat.

So the question kept coming up:
Was I really willing to risk what little stability we had for this dream?

And then one day, I was driving around town and saw a “For Lease” sign.

Something told me to stop.

By chance, I found someone who would let me in the doors.

And that moment… that first time I stepped inside what would become Gray Lane… happened five years ago today.

Looking back, it still feels a little unreal. But it’s also a reminder, sometimes the biggest leaps don’t come when things feel secure… they come when you decide they matter anyway.

There’s something really special happening at Gray Lane, and I have to share it with you.

After every set of classes, Andrea sends me a snapchat (or 12) of updates on how things went, what challenged her, what she’s learning, and what she’s carrying into the next class. It’s one of my favorite parts of the day.

Today, she shared something that’s come up more than once.

Kids have really tough days at school: hurtful moments, unkind words, the kind of days that can feel overwhelming. And yet… they still show up for aerial.

Even after everything, they come.

Because something here feels different. Because they know this is a place where they can breathe, move, and just be themselves.

And that’s the quiet power of this practice…
They know, even if they can’t put it into words yet, that this is a place of healing.
That movement can shift what feels heavy.
That being held, literally and emotionally, can change everything.

This is the essence of yoga. And they’re finding it, right here in the air.

We are so honored to be a safe space for your children. 🤍
