We all belong to communities: places where we live, work, and gather for play, learning, spiritual fulfillment or service. These communities are often places where we feel happy, safe and content. Within them, we share a sense of belonging or of feeling valued.
When I took my first class at Its All Yoga, I felt as if I had come home. Now I understand why our community is so beloved. Our Fairy Queen, Michelle, created out of love a studio atmosphere that is welcoming, tranquil, inclusive, accessible and immaculately clean. The teachers are supported and nurtured so that they can pass along to their students their passion and enthusiasm for the practice of yoga.
At Its All Yoga and at Healthy Aging Yoga, we come together as a community of yoga practitioners, yet we experience so much more than that. We meet and make new friends. We chat with one another before and after class and trade information about that tunic that goes everywhere, about tap dancing, gardening, pottery, knitting and weaving. Maybe we have tea or lunch after class. We learn about each others lives outside of the studio.
March is as good a month as any to celebrate community, our mutual growth, our shared experiences, and our joy in being together.
