3 Oms Yoga closing March 31
By Amy Robinson
Since we announced that 3 Oms Yoga is closing on March 31st, many tears have been shed by our incredible staff, our community and me. I feel sad that I had to make this heart-wrenching decision to close. I take refuge in the words of one of my favorite spiritual philosophers, Ted Lasso, “I want you to be grateful that you’re going through this sad moment with all these other folks. Because I promise you, there is something worse out there than being sad and that is being alone and sad.” We are feeling sad together, grieving the loss of this community and practicing yoga together.
We can feel sad that it’s over AND glad that it happened. I’m gazing at the memory wall that we created together this month in gratitude and awe of the stories, reflections and photos of the hearts opening, healing, awakening and the community connection made. As I reflect on these past 20 years of teaching yoga in Bellingham I see flashes of all the beautiful souls who have walked through these sanctuary doors and I hear echoes of the thousands of Oms we have chanted together. Just as the resonance of the Om echoes on, so will 3 Oms Yoga in our hearts and community.
I hope you are able to continue with your yoga practice. Our staff is searching for where to continue teaching and you can find them on social media when they land. I am taking a sabbatical for a few months and part of that time I’ll be a pilgrim hiking the Camino de Santiago in Spain. When I return, I will contemplate what’s next for my life and this beautiful space.
To stay connected we will keep the website, email and social media pages while I’m on sabbatical (but I will rarely be checking them). We will no longer have MindBody or access to the member library but I have posted several of my classes for free on our website for you to access. Here is the link to Amy’s free classes on Vimeo https://www.3omsyoga.com/class-library/
Thank you for being part of this cOMmunity, I love you…OM, OM, OM…..

To my Beloved yoga community,
Savasana has been one of the most challenging poses for me over my 30 years of practicing yoga. I tend to hang on tight, especially to those/that which I love.
For the past 3 years we have held on tight to our passion to serve you. Like so many other small businesses we have experienced ongoing challenges from the pandemic. Last year, we put an SOS call out that we had to contemplate closing and we received a supportive response but we are still in the same situation a year later.
