Ode to Lil’ Omm on its 5 Year Anniversary
The time has come to celebrate
A studio called Lil’ Omm.
Where every person across all ages
Is welcomed to call home.
Male or female, gay or straight,
Big or very small.
All kinds of folks from all generations,
At Lil’ Omm, we want you all!
Sad to say, but it is true,
It’s special and very rare
To find a place where all can be
And truly feel the care.
Five years ago, a seed was planted
(Since, DC hasn’t been the same)
A beautiful community began with one woman
And Pleasance is her name.
With vision, intention, and lots of love,
She opened in Palisades
A place where children, moms and dads
Could connect, inspire, and engage.
Word got out and people came.
They realized what was growing.
Much different than other studios,
A community Pleasance was sowing.
Classes for asana, yes it’s true,
But so much more than that.
Mindfulness, connection, family bonding –
Lil’ Omm is where it’s at!
People came and people stayed
When they found Pleasance’s community.
Parents want a place, you see
Where their kids can learn about unity.
Just a short while later,
A new space we were to have
When the perfect spot in Tenleytown
Became our home on Wisconsin Ave.
Now yoga classes and tons of workshops
Help our community thrive.
Prenatal training, infant massage,
Dance parties – we are alive!
Curvy, yin, playtime, and labs.
Prenatal, itsy bitsy, baby and me.
Mommy meet-ups, stroller fit, gentle, and flow.
And so much more, you see!
So come one, come all, to join in the fun
In this beautiful space Pleasance made.
Bring your family and all your friends
(And remember, we offer financial aid!)
Happy birthday, Lil’ Omm.
We feel your love to our very core.
Thank you, Pleasance, for five wonderful years.
And here’s to many more!
