Astrologer Adam* Elenbaas and Clinical Herbalist Ashley Litecky Elenbaas started dating in September 2011. Three months later, they decided to go into business together. Based in the Washington, D.C., area, Sky House Yoga encompasses astrology services (readings, certification courses, and private apprenticeships), herbalism offerings (private consultations, an apothecary with more than 300 herbs, and an herbal apprenticeship program and teaching garden), and until recently yoga.
In this episode, Adam and Ashley talk about their early work and experiences that led them to their current careers, how they met and decided to work together, and what they do as a professional astrologer and a clinical herbalist. They also touch on how they have learned over time to define their different relationships as a couple and as business partners; how they made the difficult decision to close their yoga studio, which had been the anchor of their business in the beginning; and how it felt after committing to less traditional careers on their own to find someone else on a similar life path.
*Since recording this episode a couple of months ago, Adam Elenbaas’ guru in the Bhakti yoga community gave sAdam a new initiated name, which is Acyuta-bhava Das (pronounced Ah-chew-ta baa-va Das). I refer to him as “Adam” in this episode for continuity, but he has been transitioning to his new name (or Acyuta for short) in his astrology videos and communications.
