Ashtanga Yoga Outer Banks

I opened a yoga studio when I was 24 years old with nothing but a huge heart and a dedicated practice. I did not have much money and only a year and a half experience teaching yoga. It was magical! It was the greatest achievement of my life. In this creation I brought forth and discovered a deep expression of who I was in my Soul. This expression was beyond my body.  I discovered my Grandmother energy. Energy that is deep in my veins, the natural healer and nurturer came forward.  My space was simple, homey, and decorated with spiritual images of all traditions and religions. It was warm, open, and felt like you were coming to visit someone at their home. I did not run it like a business.  It was who I was and I was sharing it with others.  I created a space that was accepting of people no matter where they were at and embraced them in warmth and an understanding of the human experience. We all have pain that needs medicine. It was my intention to provide this, to love others, and bring people together in community. I achieved this goal! The physical space I created lasted 14 years!  Time has its own desire though… things change… This space will always exist in my heart and the hearts of those I touched. It will always be remembered.  People still tell me often how much they miss the space, that there is no place like it since…
