This new year marks a new beginning for Om Operative

We’re closing our doors this month, but with a sense of ‘unfurling into the grace of a new beginning’

In this winter silence lies the shadow of a vision for the future being created for us, by us, that holds the versions of ourselves that fully honors the light we have to give

Our FREE 2 week pre-recorded yoga challenge kicks off tomorrow Jan 2nd with an optional in-studio soundbath 9-10am (proof vaxxed and masked plz)

For whatever this new year holds for you, here’s my favorite poem for exploring the shaky newness …

FOR A NEW BEGINNING
John O'Donohue

In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.

It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.

Then the delight,
when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.

Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life's desire.

Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back,
learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you

Begin the New Year with us by resting what’s old, then restarting something new

Beloved Yoga Community 

The vision of Om Operative is transforming

Throughout this pandemic we've honed in on the Tools for Practice, carefully activating a Labor of LOVE that affirms a bright and just world we choose to live in. I'm humbled by the lineage & forever in service to the work of uncovering our source light, shining it brightly, freely, for the benefit of all

These tools are POWERFUL. It's the task of a life .... 

Om Operative will be closing its doors at NorthWest Work Loft at the end of January 2022. Our final offering is a FREE 2 week Rest & Restart yoga & mindfulness challenge Jan 2-15th. I'll be hosting our final public in-studio class Sunday Jan 16th @9-10am with the biggest, boom-iest 'Boom Shakti' yoga dance + open house. Please join me in-person and online as we spark joy & celebrate all that's been created

Logistically, please cancel all active month-to-month memberships you currently hold. These cancellations must be done by each member holder's account, if you have any questions I'm here to help. If you'd like to inquire about a refund please reach out to me

While things are changing, I still believe that Om Operative has a place within the living tradition of yoga, and our community consciousness. My current focus is on closing our physical space, however in this winter silence lies the shadow of a vision for the future being created for us, by us, that holds the versions of ourselves that fully honors the light we have to give

What we accomplished together at Om Operative is far reaching, and its effects are still in manifest. I'm deeply honored for the profound privilege to practice this pathway of mindfulness, freedom, and gratitude with each of you

No matter the future, we continue to celebrate life, love and liberty always, and in ALL-WAYS

I'm always in movement with you

with love & light, Tara

Beloveds

Masks are an essential part of your in-studio yoga practice (artwork cred. )

Omicron numbers are soaring

Seattle & surrounding King county are at a 200% increase in the last 7 days from the 7 days previous. Our numbers are now 2,920 new cases daily

This is bananas. Even if Omicron isn’t as fatal a variant, it’s spread is monstrous and it WILL overwhelm hospitals. Hospitalizations are up 50% this past week alone

Yoga doesn’t preach autonomy. We’re asked to serve the WE over the I. We engage in yoga asana to gain mastery over our bodies and minds … to insert consciousness over our wants and desires, so our actions come from skill not impulse. We utilize our physical body in service to humanity by choosing ‘right’ actions that benefits the health and freedoms for all

Of course I prefer to practice without a mask. But we’re being asked to serve the collective health through choices we make with our individual bodies

Washington mask mandate is a law that requires masks to be worn inside yoga studios throughout practice. If your local studio isn’t following the mandate, ask that they adopt masking policies at this time

If you don’t wear a mask during public practice, start now. No gain is undone. Even if you’re the only one in the room. You can model universal consciousness

Has masking changed my business and industry? Absolutely. Does masking harm Om Operative profitability? 💯!! But it’s warranted NOW, at this point in time as cases surge

Let’s use the tools of yogic practices to keep each other safe
