and then you start a business together…

gratitude beyond belief. happy belated 1yr move in anniversary to my bubble gum clown bestie-roommate-business partner. thank you for the laughs. for holding me through the tough times. here’s to us and our baby @theatrium.space !! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

✨Yoga can be a huge gamer changer for your other movement practices ✨ I’ve heard from athlete-artists who are used to the speed and intensity of training that yoga is boring, or too slow. Some people aren’t interested in the stillness. And stillness and sitting with oneself is scary !! But I think the practice of yoga offers you the ability to value the transitions, the small moments, and the details as much as the big moments. Then you can be more present. Your movements and training can be more intentional. Not to mention that the practice of breathing through shapes will fill your movements with more life. When we look at the neuroscience behind yoga, we see that it can raise your vagal tone (used here similar to muscle tone). Your vagal tone is how quickly your nervous system can calm down. High vagal tone = ability to calm down faster. When we apply that to your fascia and muscles, your body can move with more ease, and less tightness and inflammation. I’m not an expert in these fields but I’ve done a lot of self guided study in these topics to apply them to my teachings. To me it’s another way of looking at and saying what these ancient eastern teachings & practices have known. We offer Vinyasa, Yin, Yin/Yang, Pranayama (breathwork) & Meditation with many community (pay what you can) sessions 💫 Check em out, start a bingo card, maybe fall in love with another way to move ! 🫶🏼 • • • #yoga#aerialcircus#poledance

🌀 some snippets from @janicequois ‘s 2/22 Year of the Horse showcase just a couple of weekends ago, which brought us back to just a couple of months ago, before The Atrium was even born!!!! Just in the beginning phases of stating to think about it, @sierra.berkeley and @sammie.the.moon decided “just for funzies” to start checking out commercial spaces. And, well…… here we are 🤣🤭 One of the most powerful lessons @theatrium.space has taught me is: if you can envision it, it can happen. And we’re so grateful to be a part of + home to all the incredible ideas that have been brought to life since, because of that way of thinking! It’s a complete trust fall into a whole new universe, but with the right community and the right business partner (and the right experience!!!!!) to support us, if the normies can do it then SO CAN WE 🗣️🗣️ Featured Performers (!!!): @9_haizen.berg_9 / @bergond_ @brat.race - #polestudio #showcase #story #bushwick #polestudiony

Our Opening Party was SUCH a beautiful, brilliant, wild, and absolutely immersive success (? i guess ? Although we’re both still trying to figure out what that word really means..), even though the elements (but mostly the L Train) felt like they were waging a personal war against us that weekend. Scared sh*tless that absolutely zero people were going to show up, Sammie was basically having a panic attack until performers started to arrive (thank you guys SO much for putting together such wonderful pieces for our Opening Party and for christening our brand new 16 foot chrome @xpoleus !) ! It was a journey of trust, self-reflection, vulnerability, and really immense appreciation for a community that has held us through so much, after a day of hosting free events for you guys just to get a taste of what we’re offering! Friends ranging from lifelong to days-old friendships came through, laughter was shared, inverts were witnessed, parkour was discussed, a 2-High happened, MANY human flags were sighted, tattoos and poems were on offer, & tarot readings happened quietly in the corner. The room was buzzing with 2 dollar bills, conversations around dance, and excitement about future events and classes ˶‘ ᵕ ‘˶ . And finally, at the end of a few slightly tipsy speeches and a raffle, the bottle of champagne was popped and poured for everyone: And sammie + si took a deep breath: Everything kinda worked out, they guessed? But the future is impossible to predict, so best to only get a little bit excited at a time. Who knows. One thing we know, though, is that we’re SO freaking grateful: For the support of those who showed up to take class before we were even open, for the people who came out in the rain, for those of you who have been following along with us from all the way back to Rubulad - We are and will forever be so grateful. And it’s this exact gratitude that drives us ~ This excitement that we know we’re building something that we want to see and all need in a place that really could use it the most. It takes a freaking village. And we quite literally could not have opened these doors without you. Now, COME TAKE CLASS + Keep them open 😉🚪🩵

tuesday is my last class @the_corner_yoga and it’s such a bittersweet “see ya later” (come take !!) i met @rvambro and @squalified through @remysasha mid pandemic in 2020 and the two of them talked about how they couldn’t wait to open a studio of their own. and when they promised me a job i thought it was too good to be true. but i trusted anyways, and they trusted me. and i couldn’t have put my trust in a better duo. a year or so later: TCY came to be. i feel so honored, still, to have been there at the beginning looking at commercial spaces with rebecca. to have helped build this beautiful home for the teachers and the students. i love this studio and all the teachers and students who step foot in the space and filled it with the life it has. i am where i am as a teacher, a human, and now a studio owner myself because of reb & joe & TCY. i’m so lucky to call them mentors, amazing bosses, AND friends. TCY even hosted our first ever FLOE event !! thank you for showing me what’s possible and for teaching me how to be a kick ass boss just by example. i love you, the corner will always be my first home studio. i’m gonna miss seeing chowder every tuesday but i’m so excited to see what the future has for TCY !! and i’ll always be popping back in 🫶🏼💫💜

on oct 31st i picked up the keys to our space. last night sammie and i were finally there together as key holders !! on the eve of a full moon ! with mamdani’s win ! it all felt and feels magical and auspicious. i can’t fully put into words the gratitude for everyone who has helped me and us get to this point. i feel so supported and loved. i never dreamed i’d be here at this point in my life but it feels like something clicked into place in my little corner of the world so that sammie and i can build something for as many people as we can. i love you all. thank you thank you thank you to everyone and everything that has gotten me here. come find us doing stuff starting december @theatrium.space 🌀🫀👁️
