Dear Friends,
After careful consideration, The Outpost will permanently close this May. It has been a privilege to serve, and I am truly grateful for the past year.
The Outpost crystallized the definition of the word community for me, perhaps even more than my sixteen years in the yoga industry. I love what we achieved together and would do it again in a heartbeat.
I want to extend a massive thank you to my husband, and also my father, brother, sister, and mom for traveling from Vermont to work at the shop while I was undergoing cancer treatments. My gratitude also goes to the artists and founders who shared their beauty and craft, and to the Elk Rock Yoga community who gathered, taught workshops, and activated the space with presence and healing.

Thank you to Katherine at Built, Beth, Elizabeth, and Nicci at MESO, Portland Means Progress and POIC, and to the customers and regulars who made this vision work. I am also grateful to my business neighbors for sharing the community with me throughout this journey.
Kevin & Davenport crew, Liz, Weston & Heart crew, Heidi & Meat crew, Reed, Scott, Carrie, Tyler Standard crew, Danielle & Screen Door crew
Thank you to the small but mighty team I trusted with my business. You stepped up whenever I was too sick from treatment or busy at the studio and represented the store as if you were an owner.
Chris & Raven
Jeff & Grace, Jyssica, Travis, Jana, Kathleen, Hannah, Amy, Heather, and everyone who supported the Outpost.
Bye for now, East Burnside.
Come take classes at the Woodstock studio, and shop the Outpost online.
