SPOKE - Grand Opening Reception

SPOKE, a new business focused on body wellness and performance art, is set to liven up the downtown business scene. Spoke’s grand opening will be March 6th during First Friday Art Walk. Spoke Gallery is thrilled to be showing the work of Olivia Pendergast. Spoke also is excited to have Acrobatic Conundrum who will be performing their new work at our grand opening. Do stop by and check it out!

Spoke is a space that holds a Hot Yoga studio, two Gyrotonic ™ instructors, and a kids yoga class, a restorative yoga class, body work, and the ShakesKIDS, a youth production company dedicated to working their way through Shakespeare’s canon before they are out of high school.

At the entrance of SPOKE is the gallery which will participate in First Friday, showing work by artists, local and not. For the first First Friday Spoke Gallery’s curators Christine Nelson and Abby Enson  are thrilled to be showing the work of Olivia Pendergast (www.oliviapendercast.com) .

Sharing the space with the gallery and adding to the luxury of your experience is the Gyrotonic ™ equipment taught with love and dedication by Abby Enson and Margaret Hoeffel.  A moveable wall divides the back third of the space from the front two thirds allowing for heat retention for classes to be held by Bikram Yoga Vashon who will be moving its operations to Spoke. (www.bikramyogavashon.com). In addition the moveable wall will allow for versatility to meet the needs of different artists, teachers, facilitators, and events. Through the back and up the stairs, you will find a private treatment room.

Abby, Aimee, and Christine are the three ladies responsible for this new offering to the downtown business scene. Although it would turn out they were surely destined to weave their lives together in many different ways, they met in a hot sweaty Bikram style yoga class.

They are bonded by their mutual desire to do work in the world that frees and focuses individuals to be able to realize their dreams and potential. The threesome will work to engage and facilitate our local community through the arts as well as through personal body wellness. They will host a variety of performing arts presentations as well as offering a variety of pathways to health and healing. It is their hope that through honoring the individual spark and authentic expression of it, the community and world will be bettered. All three women are artists as well as healers. More information about their past work can be found at the website,
