“Change is not something that we should fear. Rather, it is something that we should welcome. For without change, nothing in this world would ever grow or blossom, and no one in this world would ever move forward to become the person they’re meant to be.”

— B.K.S. Iyengar

Yoga Bywater/ San Juan Island, WA

3579 Bailer Hill Rd

Yoga Bywater is closed for holidays. Happy Winter Solstice (Dec 21st) Classes will resume in January, indoors at Aurora Farms on No2 Schoolhouse Rd. Stay tuned.

I will post here and FB with more info as soon as I know exactly when I'll return to the island. Aurora Farms does not have info about classes, yet.

Enjoy the New Year

Classes will resume in January. Happy holidays/ Winter Solstice

All levels welcome, we will work on foundational poses which include standing poses, seated poses, basic twists, some balancing poses and relaxing/ restorative poses. Please arrive a few minutes early so that we can begin on time. I look forward to meeting new faces. Classes will be free for the coming months.

As most of you know Yoga Bywater in New Orleans has been closed since March 14th, 2020 due to Covid. In the subsequent months I have been making some hard decisions and feeling my way through this massive obstacle. I have recently sold the building and am relocating myself and the yoga studio to San Juan Island in Washington State. We’ve had a magical time on the corner and I thank everyone who has been a part of it. There will be more to come.

It is my intention to build a studio, here on the island on my families property, facing the Olympic Peninsula and the Puget Sound, it is spectacularly beautiful here. Often Killer Whales can be seen in close to shore, bald eagles and foxes are abundant. I’m 7 miles across from Victoria, Canada by water. I look forward to teaching here as soon as life allows. I’ll start building when weather and permitting allow. I have been dreaming of this for the last 10 years and the Pandemic forced the issue. Also my parents are getting older and I’m happy to be able to spend more time with them. I miss everyone and look forward to the next chapter. I’ll keep you posted as things progress. Take care and practice.

Much love,

Heide
