Our WHY…

As a self-proclaimed movement nerd for many years, a dear friend suggested that I try AVITA yoga with her just over two years ago. Never having been one to take to traditional yoga, she told me that I was in for a treat as this was NOT your traditional yoga.

Truer words never spoken…

Two months and a car accident left me significantly impaired and unable to unwind my body from the effects. I was in near constant pain so moving outside of what was necessary was not an option. On film I was a bit of a mess… Fast forward a year plus later and that same friend suggested that perhaps I should consider taking the AVITA yoga teacher training program. While I realized that I was still on the path to healing and had not yet found a regular movement practice that consistently supported me, something deep inside of me felt the pull, regardless of what my body was telling me. I suppose, as they say, the rest is history…

Having taught movement since the mid-90’s and been blessed to find those mentors who took me to the depths of inquiry and exploration, I realize that there is a thread connecting the wonderful movement forms that I have found myself deeply passionate about. The tie that binds them is not the WHAT. It goes much deeper than that. What ties them is the HOW…as in HOW ARE WE DOING WHAT WE ARE DOING?

The rest will follow…

Of course, this sounds much easier than I am letting on, but the moment we allow ourselves the time to stop and listen, to inquire deeply, to receive instead of responding, something WILL open. And that opening WILL be the change to something more amazing than we imagined. In my case, that something is true healing. In all aspects and facets of my life. The creation of the nest is an expression of that…

I am excited and committed to being the steward of a movement studio where others can experience this kind of healing from within. From the moment you enter our doors through the end of your day, that possibility will stay with you. It will call you to seek the questions instead of the answers. And it just may…bring you home to yourself. As it has done for me.

If you are open to it…

I offer you the invitation to join us in this way. As seekers on the path of peace, joy, and delightful movement! I truly hope to see you here with us at the nest soon. Because you…already belong.

…and to my dear friend who kept planting the seeds for me to water and grow, you can never imagine how precious you are to me for seeing what I could not. I am committed to planting the AVITA seed for others in the same gentle way that you did for me…
