“I was beginning to learn that home is the space within us and between us where we feel safe and brave. It is not a physical space as much as it is a field of being.” ~Valarie Kaur, See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love

Hello Everyone,

After checking in with you all, I decided not to hold class this Friday. We will resume our normal schedule this week. Looking ahead to December, there will be no class Tuesday 12/24, and Friday 12/27. I am planning on a short trip to see family.

Thank you to everyone who reached out to Brett and I, we feel your love and support. We are sending love right back to you, as we all need it right now.

I hope whatever this holiday holds for you, however you celebrate (or not) leaves you feeling loved and rejuvenated!

So much love,

Elle

Hello Everyone,

I can’t make it to class tomorrow, but the great news is Gretchen Mulkey is subbing. Thank you Gretchen!!!

Unfortunately this means there’s no Zoom practice that day. If you can’t make it  in person, please remember the videos are there for your use. You will be missed and Zoom practice will resume next Tuesday.

Brett has been experiencing extreme light headedness which has been resulted in him fainting. This coupled with other existing symptoms, makes us suspect POTS, EDS, or another Dysautomia syndrome. We are in the midst of ruling out more life threatening options and figuring out how to get referrals to people who can help Brett find the support he needs.

We are ok. We are less scared than we have been the last few weeks as we learn more about Dysautomia syndromes and talk with people living with similar conditions.  The next few months will hold a slew of medical appointments for Brett. Right now he can’t drive, and it’s so much better to have both of us listening to information and asking questions then sending him in alone. Whenever possible, I will schedule around our practices, and/or find subs. But please watch your emails, as the only thing in my mind worse than having to unexpectedly cancel class, would be you missing the message and show up to an empty studio or a quiet Zoom channel.

Thank you in advance for your continued support. So much love,

Elle

Hello Everyone,

Before I get to the interesting stuff, I just want to give you a heads up that there will be no Tuesday morning class Nov. 12th. It’s my sister’s last morning here and I wanted to give us one more coffee together before she begins her long drive back to Michigan.

The good stuff: I made you a recording of the The Five Koshas practice we sometimes use in class. As the not so subtle image shows, we begin with the physical and go inward. Even if you don’t have time to check in with each layer sometimes just remembering that taking care of our physical form — because it houses a precious enlivened being (you’re the precious enlivened being) — can help our emotions regulate a bit and our stress to come down. This recording is not edited, because if I go down that road, I’ll never get this newsletter out! So you if you listen I believe you’ll be able to hear Richard Cat purring as he insisted on joining me. If you need a polished recording, I’m sure there some elsewhere online.

Lastly, a reminder about the Driftless Dance Film Tour, it’s curated by Sydney Swanson, and includes the work of Sharon Mansur, both of whom many of you met in yoga practices at Infinity. Look here for more information, there’s a showing at WAC.

xoxo
