These Four Walls

(Written February of 2020 after closing the physical space of Ripple Yoga)

We are closing a chapter to make space for new tales to come to life. Our little yoga studio has been a place for thousands of students to retreat the chaos of the city, step on their mat and be present for the self. It hasn’t awarded us riches in the material sense but an abundance of grace and ability to touch the lives of many. That, to me is priceless. This place changed my life and launched me on my path of recovery and teaching yoga.  Gary built it up and nurtured it for almost 7 years and I was blessed to come along for the ride.

We are about to transform Ripple Yoga into a step by step course curriculum that we hope will reach many sincere seekers in their journey of yoga. We will continue to write our story, share in the teachings and blessings that have been so freely given to us. May we all be the Ripple Effect

These four walls 

A space to unravel on the mat

Space to let it all go

The sweet scent of incense dances through the air

Deep breath in 

Letting all the heavy fog of daily living release from our being

Lives crossed then diverged 

Spirits soured

Forever imprinted on the hearts

Four walls for yoga 

“Union”

Bringing together of souls

As the dense physical space dissolves 

The ripple widens still

In the sea of humanity 

One chapter closes as we look forward 

On the blank pages before us 

The call from the self

To write our stories 

To live our yoga 

In love and unity
