Templeparlor is yoga instructor Kitty Wittkower's web site. temple: from the latin templum (6th Century), a sacred space as defined by a priest or augur, used to describe a house of worship for any number of religions. From the bible, the body is your temple. parlor: from the french parler, or to talk. A front room for receiving visitors.The history of Templeparlor began in 1999 in a big Edwardian house on Queen Anne hill in Seattle Washington. The yoga studio was in the front room, or the double parlor. Downstairs, there was healing treatment rooms, massage, acupuncture, and one a month there was a mystic parlor evening which included cabaret, live music, comedy, henna art, hand and foot massage and the occasional star coming by to play guitar because after the asana practice is done, we still need good company, good food, good conversation and fine entertainment. Now the Temple Parlor is a virtual place and I have a Gypsy life of teaching yoga in more than one studio. |
