Mixing Bowl of Emotions

Within a week, I muscled the courage to announce the closing of the studio at the end of April.  The next day came an email, my son’s school was closing at the end of the school year.  Only a couple days later, the city shuts down.  When people ask me how I’m doing I honestly answer, “I don’t know.” 

I spent the first two weeks of the stay-at-home order closing the studio.  It was heartbreaking packing up the studio without having the opportunity to give it a ceremonial goodbye.  It was painful.  I would drive to the studio and cry through the packing.  There is much grief for the loss of the daily community our studio housed as we witnessed each other grow and fail, and grow again.  It was a necessary shedding of grief and being free of the commitments of the studio excites me to no end. When I asked myself, “you still want to do this?”, I couldn’t have packed up fast enough.  So, needless to say, it was a mixing bowl of emotions. 

All accounts for the studio were closed mid-March.  Yoga Path will continue as a yoga school offering a 500 hour program out of the new yoga room to be.  Right now it is a garden shed. When life returns to its new normal, I will be able to expand my time into the area of private lessons and semi-private classes.  We will continue to work with senior citizens and student athletes.  I am chomping at the bit to get back into the classroom with my own teachers and advance my own training.  I’m looking forward to being able to share more about my own journey and the things I’ve learned about yoga along the way.  

I’ll begin to post more classes on our site that will be free for you to practice.  There will soon be workshops online taught by me that will offer a lecture and practice.  These workshops will include topics such as the psoas, working with low back injuries, improving upper body mobility and strength,  learning movement patterns that help alleviate chronic pain, a gentle introduction to creating a personal practice, and specific workshops geared towards yoga instructors for their continuing education hours.  If you have suggestions of something you’d like to learn from me, shoot me an email.  You can reach me at kate@yogapathllc.com or (225) 931-9166

We are giving the website a facelift, so please excuse our progress….

Love,
