Holding the Space Between by Lexie Wolf
When I shared the news about the studio closing two weeks ago, I didn’t fully know how it would land — for you, or for me. What followed was a day (and several after) of reading your sweet notes through tears. Over the past few weeks I heard from so many of you. Your words have been generous, thoughtful, and deeply moving. I’m deeply humbled.
Thank you for your grace. Thank you for telling me what Yoga Garden has meant to you.

During our time in India, Bill and I didn’t have much bandwidth, but we checked in briefly with the outside world most days.

It was a joy to witness the story of the monks walking right past the studio and stopping here in Pittsboro. The outpouring of love and inspiration they were met with reveals a deep longing: for meaning, for kindness and for a safe place to land.
