Closed for July: A Pause with Purpose

Hi everyone,

After many weeks of Jenn holding everything together while I’ve been away with family, we’ve decided to take a full pause. Eight Limbs will be closed for the month of July.

As many of you know, I’ve been spending these days with my dad as his health rapidly declines. My mom also needs me now, and I’ve realized I can’t be half-there—trying to manage studio life in the background while being present with them through this. I need to step away completely. This moment demands my full attention.

Jenn has carried so much in these past weeks and needs a break too. This is simply what we both need in order to return—not just physically, but with the energy and presence this space, and all of you, deserve.

In yoga, we often speak of the pause—the space between breaths, the stillness that holds it all. A pause is a moment of intention and deep presence.

Right now, this pause is about presence—turning fully toward what matters most. It's a step away from holding space for others so I can hold space for my family. A pause from doing, so I can simply be—with all the grief, the love, and the grace of this time.

All auto-pay memberships will be paused, and prepaid memberships will be extended.

During this time, Sacred Evenings will still run as planned, and Jenn will also be offering a few special pop-up events through her own platform. You can find details at www.rootedandrise.com.

And finally—thank you. To everyone who has sent kind messages or checked in, your words of support have meant so much.

In the spirit of metta,
Lisa
