Yoga "BEYOND" the Studio

We had started streaming in February of 2020 just for fun. When Covid hit, we switched to 100% streaming and our community quickly embraced Patreon to keep the lights on.

It took awhile to find our style (and get the lighting correct) but I relished in the opportunity to share yoga beyond the walls of our home on Main St. Between March & May of 2020, we had 5K views on our channel!

When SD&Y was able to start classes again, we slowly added Yoga in The Park and Family Yoga Time.

The Pandemic Was A Challenging Time & A Happy Change

In reflection, it's easy for me to paper over how dark of a time it was for small business owners, but truly, most of the world. Not only did we get to refocus on what mattered (family, time outdoors & investing in what's right in front of you) we all had to reconcile that our reality might not match up with our expectations.

I felt compelled and empowered to bring more light into the world through yoga and sharing stories, including these YouTube videos with messages relating my experience of yoga to my experience of the world.

For me, personally, between early 2020 and the end of 2022, we bought a house, built a new kitchen, shed & driveway, took my family to my hometown in Alaska, got married, celebrated 40 and rekindled my love of ice hockey, oh, and took over Springfield's The Block Party.
