Springing Forward—In More Ways Than One

Our first second home: the cozy interiors of the first Loosloo. Stay tuned for photos of our second space!

Over the weekend we set our clocks one hour ahead—the true measurement that Spring is finally here. Everyone says that Spring is about looking ahead and preparing for wonderful changes, and I couldn’t agree more. I have been teaching in this wonderful little yoga studio called loosloo a little over one year. Several months ago, I got to talking with Barbara, the lady who built and began loosloo, and after much talking, praying, thinking, daydreaming and meditating, we decided to partner together and expand this place I deem as my second home.

Loosloo is two years old now, and while part of its charm is its quaint little practice quarters in Kleinbasel, many of our students have been saying the room is getting too small for them. At times we’ve had to do our sun salutations packed like sardines in a can. In some cases, we have been so full that a willing yogi would have to practice in the reception area because we couldn’t accommodate them in the room (thank you, Stefan and Rahel). And a handful of times we seen several students come in, realize it was too full, and slink away.

This is why, due to popular demand, Barbara and I are opening a second space, this time in Grossbasel (corner Kannonengasse and Steinengraben). Our doors open on the 1st of May, and while our second second (yes, that’s not a typo) home may be bigger than the first, we’re sure that those who visit will still feel the same warmth, welcoming spirit that yogis love about loosloo. Indeed, we’re springing forward, together with the time. Come and join us!
