Kicking Off With Community
For about 15 years I’ve dreamt of having a space to build community, do Yoga, host workshops, and other classes. When I found this spot, that dream was reawakened within me. I knew it was the right time, and the right place to jump in head first. Each week I find myself amazed by the people I met and the generosity of the community. I can’t wait to get all the permits and permissions from the “authorities” to offer everything I truly have in mind. Of course, that all takes money and time that I don’t have at the moment. I’m believing for it to all come together perfectly.
AstroYoga started because one of my long time students is studying to be a professional astrologer and would come to my Sunday Port Ludlow classes full of excitement about what she just learned. I’ve always been fascinated by astrology and astronomy. In fact, one of my daughters had severe food sensitivities that seemed to change with the moon phases. I then started putting it together that the planetary shifts were impacted certain organs causing disruptions in her already sensitive body.
From there, I learned more about Ayurveda and Yoga which go hand-in-hand with astrology. One day when my student came in excited to share, my class was responding with enthusiasm about the information she brings, I asked if anyone would be interested to see how the planets might be affecting our bodies in these transits. There was a resounding “Yes!” I then began to develop classes that would support our mind, body, spirits, throughout the transitions. And, here we are today with our AstroYoga Studio based in Port Townsend!
If you’re not an astrology fan, it’s okay. Because the sessions aren’t about the astrology. Classes are about the mind, body, and soul being nourished on a deep level. I encourage you to join a class and see how you feel afterwards. Or a few classes since each session is unique and there are other teachers rising up to guide you into your blissful state of being.
Now… The HUB!
I might be more excited about the HUB than the Yoga. Hehe… Don’t get me wrong, I love my Yoga practice. I’m super excited to share what I’ve gained in the 16 years of practicing twice a day. I can’t even begin to tell you all the ways Yoga has kept me grounded, healthy, and developing. With that said, The HUB is bring the most incredible people out of the wood works. And… I don’t know about you, but since COVID, it’s been really hard to get people together for more than a music event. I love music! Let’s have Music Nights! Dinner Parties! Moon Gatherings! Women’s Circles! Men’s Circles! Crafting Events! Let’s gather, learn, and grow together!
