Be Here Now Yoga, Healing and Wellness

Hey Friends! We’re having a super casual hang session before we leave to move to Belize! If you want to come say, “See Ya Later!” We will be hanging out at Brookeville Beer Farm on 3/22 from 1-4. Come any time during the window for a visit! We tried to choose a location that was between DC/VA and Frederick. We hope to see you there, but understand if you can’t make it, we will see you later!

Brookeville Beer Farm is near Laytonsville, MD (Montgomery County). It is known to be fun for adults and children. Violeta specifically asked for us to go somewhere where we won’t be distracted by screens so we can have quality time with our friends.

I made a typo it’s actually 3/22

Dear BHNY Yogis,

Firstly, thank you for your understanding and patience with the time it has taken us to fully assess the situation. Sitting down to write this letter is something we have been struggling with for some time and it is long overdue. In 2014 we decided to open Be Here Now Yoga because we wanted to offer a unique experience, different from anything we had encountered thus far in the yoga community. We knew we could create a space that felt equitable and operated under the mission of LOVE. We believe we were successful in this aim until the Coronavirus pandemic put a halt to so many things. BHNY was never intended as means to generate lots of revenue or support our family; it was opened as a place to share our teachers’ teachings from the respect and devotion of our hearts. The studio’s earnings went to the hardworking staff, the community, and back into the space to maintain its operation. This approach kept the space pure and filled with integrity.

Upon significant reflection, we have come to the realization that operating the studio in the current climate is no longer feasible financially or energetically, and we have decided to close the physical space. We opened it to bring joy to others and ourselves. In the months following the lockdown and restrictions, that joy has begun to fall away. In place of that joy, stress and fear have crept in. The added stress to ensure that those who enter the space do not put themselves or others at risk, and the fear of someone getting sick because they came to Be Here Now. It goes without saying that that would weigh heavily on our hearts. This place was built to help people heal themselves, not to cause them harm. The future of yoga asana and healing - with all the masks, hand sanitizers, heavy chemical disinfectants, and lack of physical touch is simply not where our hearts lie. Therefore, we are choosing not to reopen the space. We have to follow our hearts, and we have to listen to the wisdom that springs forth from that place.

My favorite soup! Toss some chopped up veggies in a bone broth and bring to a boil, then simmer. So easy! I have sweet potato, carrots, bok choy, Swiss chard and mushrooms. If you want you can put it over basmati rice or quinoa. Top with some seaweed and you have a power house soup!

At what point are you going to say this is enough? That was a question that Mother Earth shared with me this morning as I sat with her. I wrote more about it on the OMstead blog. Link in bio!
