I can’t even begin to express how much honoring B.K.S. Iyengar on the last day of Pitṛ Pakṣa with the students of hOMe Yoga meant to me today. It touched me deeply in a way that words simply cannot describe.

Thank you, Reena, for asking if you could share this beautiful ceremony with our class today. What a gift it was to come together in remembrance, gratitude, and reverence for Guruji and the wisdom he has passed down to us.

And do I dare say… I think Guruji was smiling down on us today. ❤️🙏

With love and gratitude,
Michelle

🔥 TEJAS — KEEPING THE FLAME ALIVE
Tejas is often translated as inner fire, radiance, or spiritual brilliance.
To me, Tejas is the flame that doesn’t burn out.
It is the quiet, steady commitment to return to practice—even on the mornings when motivation is low.
Patañjali teaches us abhyāsa: steady, uninterrupted practice sustained over a long period of time with dedication.
This is the spirit of Tejas.
Not intensity for a week, but a flame that continues to glow—day after day, year after year.
Through consistent practice, we begin to experience pariṇāma—the transformation that unfolds gradually over time.
✨ MONDAY — TEJAS FOR BEGINNERS
7:00–8:00 AM | Online
A welcoming place to begin or strengthen your Iyengar Yoga practice.
All you need to start:
• 1 yoga mat
• 2 yoga blocks
🔥 FRIDAY — TEJAS LEVEL 1

For students with prior Iyengar Yoga experience who are ready for deeper and more challenging work.
Students should be comfortable with:
• Śīrṣāsana preparation

If you’re ready to cultivate a steady practice and keep the flame of yoga alive, join us Monday and Friday mornings.
🔥 Tejas — practice, observe, transform.

We were blessed to have Lizette enter our world during her pregnancy. She joined our Wednesday Slow-Paced Foundations class, and it was a perfect fit.

We are a small community—tiny but mighty—and we are so grateful for every person who comes through our doors.

Lizette came in carrying her own beautiful light, with an extra little light growing in her belly. ✨ It has been such a gift to share this small part of her journey through the practice of yoga.

I also want to give a special thank you to my mentor, Gloria Goldberg, for guiding me throughout Lizette’s pregnancy—sharing her knowledge and helping me understand how to adapt and support the practice along the way. I am forever a student, and I am deeply grateful for the teachers who continue to guide me so that I may better guide others. 🙏🏽

Thank you, Lizette, for finding your way to us and for sharing this very special time with us. 🤍

Until we chant again. 🙏🏽

“Yoga releases the creative potential of Life. It does this by establishing a structure for self-realization, by showing how we can progress along the journey, and by opening a sacred vision of the Ultimate, of our Divine Origin, and final Destiny. The Light that yoga sheds on Life is something special. It is transformative. It does not just change the way we see things; it transforms the person who sees. It brings knowledge and elevates it to wisdom.”

— B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Life

New Art at the Entrance of hOMe Yoga 🌸

Something beautiful is growing at the entrance of hOMe Yoga, which lives inside The Ember Collective.

This beautiful new mural by the lovely Julia represents so much of what is growing and unfolding within our space.

At the center is the feminine figure, surrounded by flowers, color, movement, and life. There is a light burning from within her, representing the inner light from which we create. When we learn to create and live from that place, our actions can become more conscious, intuitive, and guided.

At her crown is the lotus, a symbol of awakening, unfolding, and illumination. Just as the lotus opens toward the light, our yoga practice continually asks us to turn inward and discover what lies beneath the many layers of ourselves.

The timing of this piece feels especially meaningful for our hOMe Yoga community.

Over the coming months, we will begin learning and exploring the Gāyatrī Mantra, an ancient invocation of divine light and illumination. Through mantra, āsana, and our practice together, we will explore what it means to turn toward that light—not only outside of ourselves, but within.

We are also beginning our hOMe Yoga Book Club, taking a deeper dive into Light on Life by B.K.S. Iyengar. Together, we’ll explore Iyengar’s teachings on the layers of our being and how the practice of yoga can lead us inward toward greater awareness, discernment, and ultimately the Seer—Puruṣa.

In many ways, this painting feels like a beautiful visual beginning to the journey ahead:

To grow.
To unfold.
To seek the light.
And, as always, to come hOMe to ourselves through the practice of yoga. 🪷

Thank you, Julia, for bringing this beautiful expression to the entrance of our hOMe.

The transformation has begun. ✨

The first strokes of our mural are now up at The Ember Collective, home to hOMe Yoga, and we couldn’t be more excited to watch it come to life.

Over the next two days, this wall will transform into a work of art that reflects creativity, community, growth, and possibility.

If you’re in the area, stop by and watch the process unfold. There’s something magical about witnessing art as it’s being created.

📍The Ember Collective
We’d love to see you.
