No.1: Finding a Space + Place

welcome to the (first) newsletter!

I'm looking for a space + place to feel, move, ground and experienceSince 2021, I’ve been f u l l t i m e on-the-move. It was a short-term idea at first, but honestly it became hard to stop. One thing after another kept approaching and instead of planning ahead I found myself learning how to simply react as things came to me.Writing it all down and sharing these reflections may partially be an act to convince myself I’m not running away from what I feel, but becoming more rooted and more in my body and feeling through these explorations.To convince myself there is room for…community via travel,feeling via movement,identity via exploration.I’ve been thinking a lot about “home” and how convoluted that can be when you’re 1st generation, or when you’re a longtime transplant of someone else’s home, or a person who simply loves to understand and visit somewhere new.

Is home really about place and space? Or can you pack it up in your pocket and recreate it wherever you go? If you are always on the move, is maintaining community really all that possible?

All of this - reflection and storytelling, traveling, and movement - has been a part of my life for a long time. And I learned a lot about building community through leading Yoga and fitness. So here’s to bringing it together and keeping what is most valuable to me - community and connection - tight in any way that I can.

let me know: how do you define or find home? have you ever felt confused about "home"?

excited for more (classes?!) to come.
