Elijah Huls (they/them)

I have been practicing yoga in some form for almost 10 years - mostly at home. The start of which was largely focused on what I could gain physically from my practice. Over the years, I looked for a group that could help me make space for the emotional aspects I felt brewing in my personal practice. I feel I found that in ICY. 

I first attended a Saturday practice back in 2020 on Zoom, but didn’t start attending practice again until the summer of 2023. Everyone’s honesty in showing up shocked me and kept me showing up every week. There is no pressure to perform an exact movement. People come late and are told not to worry about it. I’m reminded constantly there is nothing to achieve. I want all people to have access to a space where they are able to be honest and themselves, just like this. 

Being from Brown County, Indiana, I have a great love for our earth and have so much more to see of it. I try to spend as much time hiking and camping as I can, but otherwise hang out with my cat, Marsha.
