I got to spend a lot of time at Yoga-urt this weekend, more than I have in a while, and I loved it!

It makes me so happy to see how happy people are when they come to Yoga-urt. 

It’s been a rough few months for many, and I am so grateful to have this outlet to help spread positive and happy vibes to all that come. 

Either through the chalk wall (which I’m currently in love with), or the yummy Yoga-urt, the service, or peaceful space, I see how it makes people feel and it warms my heart. I will always strive to make people feel good when they come to Yoga-urt.

This weekend was cold and rainy – from Friday – Monday. Very little sunshine if any. I was worried about sales wondering if anyone would venture out. But venture out they did. I have so much gratitude for all who came. 

More rain is expected this week, so I will hope for the best and know since this is L.A., the sun will be back soon.

And in the meantime, our 2nd Annual Pint-O-Rama is going really well – we gave away the 170th pint today (every 10th pint is free) – with 1 week left to go. The Pint-O-Rama was my mom’s idea last year and it did so well, I knew it was going to become an annual thing. 

As for me, I’m doing okay. Still juggling a lot with twists and turns  all of the time, but I’ve been able to slow down a little since I’ve been back from my trips which helps. This journey I’m on is very humbling, exciting, exhausting, and surprising and sometimes all within the same day. 

I did it! I took a vacation, and a great one too. 

After working non-stop with 2 jobs for the last several years, it was so nice to take a week off FOR ME! I was able to have fun, relax, do lots of yoga, go whale watching, lay on the beach, get to know awesome people, and be with nature. So needed and so nice.

Yoga-urt did fine, but I would be lying if I said I completely detached, as I could not. I checked in here and there and checked our daily sales. Even ordered a few things we needed. But I was more hands off than I have been since we opened with no problems. This is great news because it means I can do it again! 

I also got to share the story of Yoga-urt with new friends I made at the yoga retreat, most from New Jersey, and it’s always fun for me to talk about it as I hope it inspires other people to reach for their dreams.

There was a time in the very beginning of this journey, when I was afraid of how the yoga community would react to Yoga-urt. I wasn’t sure if they would get it. But that was obviously a waste of time as the yoga community has embraced us.

It has been cold and rainy in L.A. a lot this past month and I am SO GRATEFUL to everyone who is coming to Yoga-urt. Thank you for keeping us going through winter. Only another month or so of the colder weather and then I’m so excited for Spring and all that it might bring! Namaste!
