I have been a practitioner of yoga and meditation for over 30 years, beginning with Hatha Yoga in the 70s and then eight years ago experiencing my first Kundalini Yoga class. I have experienced first-hand the transformative power of yoga…emotionally, physically and spiritually. It simply changed my life.
Through my practice as a Reiki Master and Reflexologist, I saw more and more clients coming to me with stress-related conditions. I would talk with them about the benefits of yoga and meditation. Many had never tried it, were interested, but felt uncomfortable about walking into a studio. The general perception was that yoga was for flexible thin people and that meditation meant completely stopping their thoughts, which was an impossible idea to them. It was obvious that education was needed.
After my husband, Tom, and I finished our teacher training programs for Kundalini Yoga, we both felt a calling to do something for the benefit of our community. Looking at our strengths, as teachers of yoga and meditation, a yoga studio seemed the most logical way to go. We knew the perfect place would find us.
After three years of searching, we found our yoga home in the Old Almy House in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. The moment we walked in, we knew it was the place. We have poured our hearts and souls into preparing the space for our students. It really is lovely and peaceful…a beautiful gathering place to meet new people while learning the tools to meet the stresses of day-to-day life with grace and courage.
Please come and make Tenth Gate your home away from home. We look forward to sharing the ancient wisdom of yoga and meditation with you.
