On Saturday we said goodbye to the Omkar Bench. It was lent to us by woodworker/artist Niall Bourke of Kipper Design. It’s made of walnut and had witnessed so much over the years. Bench heard many stories, witnessed a lot of laughter, sadness and supported all our butts. Sometimes we laid on Bench, we cried, sometimes we sat and shared or gossiped, sometimes we ate food on Bench, stored our bags, mats and belonging. Goji would hide under bench. Bench never minded anything. Bench just supported us. A huge part of the Omkar story, Bench is strong, hearty, beautiful.... we will miss you. Thank you Niall for this beautiful Bench. If anyone is interested in purchasing this beautiful piece of art/work, please let us. Niall is restoring and shining her up for a new owner.

Taking everything down. Feels surreal. End of an era. Goodbye Shala.

We didn’t think this day would come so soon. But it’s here. Dear Omkar Family, It is with a heavy heart to inform everyone we are closing the Shala. We know the Shala has benefited many people and changed lives over the past 10-years. However after much discussion and contemplation, this weekend will be our last before returning the keys to the landlord on Monday. ... If you would like to pay your respects to the space and say your goodbyes, come by today anytime after 12pm. Please wear your protective gear (ie mask, face shield, gloves, whatever makes you most comfortable). We will of course socially distance for everyone’s safety and health. Hope to see you there, but if you can’t make it, we do understand. Love, Jorgen & Sanjeeta #shala #omkarfamily #thankyou #closed #goodbye #ashtangayoga #ashtanga #untilwemeetagain #endofanera

Last night we were mandated to shelter in place, an order from our Gov. Gavin Newsom. So as we move into a new way of living.... basically indoors and practicing social distancing, we must evaluate many aspects of our lives. Our relationships, the way we do business, the way we live. For many, this is a very dark time: a SIP may mean no work, which means no income. For a small business, it’s the same. So as we SIP, let’s stay connected everyday, pray for the ill, reach out... to the needy, give what we can however we can, listen compassionately, share who we are authentically. As the Earth heals herself, let’s revert back to living more simple. It’s time. . See you ONLINE tomorrow morning for Led Primary @ 8am with @jorgenyoga . If you’re not a member of Omkar, please see link in bio to sign up. Classes available for both Mysore-Style, Ashtanga Yoga, All-Levels Flow, and soon Beginners. Stay connected. See more

It is with sadness and trust that we closed the Shala doors this morning due to the mandatory shutdown. It has us all worried and scared, confused and feeling anxious. However in this time of uncertainty, we must continue to have faith and practice love and kindness towards one another. Don’t let fear overrun your life; allow trust and faith to be the guide. We will endure this together. Today was a great teacher for us. Many praised us for forging forward to offer online ...classes, some scorned us for closing our doors. Some shared their concern and gave us their blessings, others dumped on us all their problems, fears and doubts. It’s a mix bag when you run your own small business, to which only some will understand. But regardless, we will remain steadfast and strong, continue to be leaders and guide, and hope you will continue to support us. So please join us everyday for online classes, and continue your practice... . from practicing asana to practicing faith to forgiveness to trust. It’s all connected. This is our test. . . . .
