Ever find yourself keeping score emotionally or energetically? Let’s chat about Aparigraha. It’s a concept in yoga where we practice non-greed, or freedom from attachment.

And yes, it can mean freedom from attachment to material objects, but it can also mean that we need to practice giving for the sake of giving…and not expecting anything in return; freedom from keeping score.

Are you ready for more loveliness, more grounding, and even more knowledge?

Starting Thursday, September 3rd, join Jenn weekly for Vinyasa Flow with Music at 5pm.
Her Vinyasa classes offer dynamic movement, thoughtful sequencing, and the MOST epic savassana.

As well, on Friday, Sept 25th Restorative Yin Yang will return to Friday morning’s lineup.

So. Much. Jenn.

A regular Vinaysa class generally has A LOT more forward folds than backbends.

Depending on the feel of your hamstrings, or lower back, forward folding before your body is adequately warmed up can be frustrating, when it’s supposed to feel relaxing.

Trust us - grab two blocks for your next Ragdoll. This small addition can have a really big payoff in the way your body responds to forward folding early in the practice, laying the foundation for a more comfortable flow.

That’s right, we are FINALLY doing it.

Starting in January, we are going to be running our first ever 200 hour YTT. Robin and Amy will be lead co-facilitators in this small group format training that will run over 6 months (no training on holidays or school breaks).

Expect to cover all the usual subjects; anatomy, energetics, philosophy, and sequencing, but through an On The Mat lens; experienced, mature, and authentic. At the end of this training, students will leave feeling confident and capable of teaching a 60 minute class.

Barbie Leggett is a teaching legend, and we feel so grateful to have her on our schedule, and starting this September you will see even MORE of her on our schedule. As well as her weekly Yin Yang on Saturdays, you will find her teaching Vinyasa Flow every Tuesday at 5 pm starting on September 15th. Her Vinyasa classes are grounding, beautifully paced…and always a little sweaty.

Starting Saturday, September 26 at 12:15 pm, join Amy EVERY WEEK for Handstand Flow. An hour of yoga flow that pays attention to the full body, whilst preparing you to eventually, maybe, or never go upside-down…the choice is yours. This class is both physically challenging AND a ton of fun.

Pre-registration is required as the class is capped at 20.

Three part breath is a foundational yogic breathing technique where inhalation occurs in three, smooth, but distinct parts; firstly the abdominals, then the ribs, and finally the chest. When you exhale, you then reverse the flow.

This is a great technique to employ when you notice the feelings of anxiety or stress creeping into your body and mind. This technique is highly adaptable to your surroundings, and can be done on the ground, or sitting in a chair.

Try it the next time you need some grounding.
