Our BIG Announcement
Welcome to Inner Light Yoga Studios
Julie Weiland once said that "Change is not only inevitable, it's always happening." Here at Haleybird Studios, we've always embraced change. And today, we're excited to announce our latest, most exciting change of all.
 
We're changing our name!
 
Beginning today, Haleybird Studios will now be known as 
Inner Light Yoga Studios

To celebrate this new beginning, we're excited to unveil our new brand and our new, updated and expanded website, too!

So why the change? When HBS first opened, our offerings were an eclectic blend of music & Yoga classes taught solely by Haley.  As our Yoga Offerings and number of instructors have continued to grow, we expanded our studio (3 times!)  We have now outgrown our name too.   

Our new name represents the beautiful Yoga Collective that we have become.  

YOGA. SAVES. LIVES.
Yoga saved my life and I'm paying it forward to everyBODY!
 
A decade ago I saw the Light, the Inner Light. 
 
At first, it appeared at the end of a long tunnel.  I was having a panic attack. A full blown: crying, hyperventilating, tunnel vision panic attack. The Light was a pinprick in the distance.
 
At the time, I focused on the long, dark tunnel, not the Light. 
 
I was teaching Orchestra in the public schools. I began teaching every day at '0' hour (as in, <before 1st period).  I taught 150, 4th & 5th grade students every week. To nurture my interest in Yoga and supplement my income I taught Yoga, KinderMusik™ classes and private cello lessons most evenings and every weekend. 
 
I was burning the candle at both ends.  My focus was on the burn, not the Light it created.
 
Through crisis, came clarity, and Light.

Eyes damp, breath-ragged, vision-blurred, I had an idea.  
 
I would open a business, one at which I would teach Yoga and music lessons full-time.
 
My vision was clear.  My heartrate settled. My breathing returned to normal.
 
My Inner Light had been ignited. [spark!]
 
I emailed my best friend; she said it was a great idea. [blow gently on the embers]
 
I called my sister; she said it was brilliant. [fan the flames]
 
I told my mom; she said wt? [cool breeze...don't worry, the fire didn't go out!]
 
I put together a business plan. Showed it to my dad, then the bank. Landed a business loan.
 
[the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire!]
 
I withdrew my application for a prestigious teaching position.  [insert raging inferno]

I was 28; had my shirt on my back (which read, 'who stole my piggy bank?'), my violin and cello as collateral for the business loan, and an  Inner  Light that I was not going to let anyone whoo! [blow] it out.
 
I was gonna let it shine! LET IT SHINE, all the time!
 
17 Months later, Haleybird Studios opened in a tiny space at the corner of 92nd & Center in Tosa.
 
I felt my way into being a business owner. Its evolution was organic: creeping and crawling like a vine down that tunnel, out of the darkness and into the Light.
 
My journey through the proverbial darkness, lit by my bright mind and sparkly personality, has reinforced a truth we all know, that everyBODY has an Inner Light!
 
In 2016, I set about re-branding Haleybird Studios (because it's so much >greater than me).

At the end of my tunnel, there is 
Inner Light Yoga Studios
 
I sincerely believe this Yoga studio will light your path along your journey to Inner Light.
 
All involved put their hearts and souls into making it so.
