Wild Lotus Makes Contact



"2010 The Year We Make Contact." I remember watching this epic science fiction film as a youngster and thinking how far off 2010 was into the future. I tried to imagine what life would be like ... the innovations, the mentality, the state of the world. Well guess what folks it's 2010 and it feels like just yesterday that the infamous space expedition was sent to Jupiter to learn what happened to the Discovery.

It is now that very near future and a small group of yogis have set out on their greatest adventure ... to see if there is life beyond the stars and make their dreams come true. In October 2009, Lonna and I decided to embark on a transformational journey and open a new yoga studio and multi-purpose centre in a downtown location accessible to all. We envisioned it to be a dynamic space full of energy and activity. A place where people of all ages and disciplines could gather to learn, dance, exercise, relax, meet and enjoy their community. In December 2009, we officially opened our doors and the support has been overwhelming and most encouraging.

We have lovingly called this new space, "Wild Lotus Studio" in honor of our collaboration and the symbolism of the lotus in yoga ... 'at home in muddy waters'. As for the original "Treehouse Yoga" ... this little company remains near and dear to my heart and will continue to be a creative outlet for my individual endeavors. Stay tuned. I look forward to planning and offering unique retreats with an array of outdoor activities, special treatments, exotic locales and of course yoga.

2010 is looking great! I am super excited about all of the opportunities, transformations, and adventures this year will bring.
