Past, Present and Future
The story
behind how Sukhasana came to life started with a conversation between
Javier and I on a tin panga, along the Sea of Cortez, looking back at the
beautiful landscape of Los Barriles. It was a calm and clear day, much like
many we experience and enjoy in the East Cape.
I chose the name for our studio before we opened its doors: Sukhasana. When said slowly and
without the ending, the play on words becomes Su Casa – Spanish for: your Home. The vision in
creating our studio mirrors the philosophy I apply in all designs: May you feel
at Home in this Space. The actual meaning of the Sanskrit word is, "pose of ease". Another reason for Sukhasana being the perfect name for a place dedicated to ease and tranquility.
Since 2009, Sukhasana has had the
honor and privilege to welcome students from different places around the globe, as well as, enjoyed by the local and full time community. Our studio has offered classes
through a diverse range of teachers, which is appropriate for the diverse needs
of our growing community, as well as, vistors.
In the beginning, our studio was
open for six months a year. As a full timer who straddles both cultures daily,
I saw a need to keep our studio open year round. 2017 will be our third year
open full time! With our growing full time population, keeping the offerings
ample, evolving and staying Open, is well received and much appreciated.
While I have been out
and about in our community, for the last couple of months, I have been asked:
What will happen in Sukhasana
when the other two yoga studios open their doors?
Sukhasana will continue to offer a variety of inspiring classes!
Present:
·
Winter 2017 – we are going strong with six
talented teachers
Future:
- · Spring 2017 – transition time, from six teachers to three or four, as folks begin their return north
- · Summer 2017 – our slow season, with two enthusiastic teachers offering yoga (and maybe more)
- · Fall 2017 and Winter 2018 – three inspiring teachers have wholeheartedly confirmed returning to Sukhasana to continue offering classes in our studio. For sure, we will have: Yoga and Strength Training. And there may be more!
As our community continues to
grow, Sukhasana will evolve at the same pace, with as much grace as possible, every step of the way. Our
aim will continue to be, for our students to feel at home in Sukhasana – a place of ease, tranquility, safety, inspiration and creativity. A nourishing place for embodied practice. Movement and breath. Heart, Body, Mind and Soul.

Namaste, Tehroma
