Hey yogis!
A special event: Sound Bath with Janea! On October 20 from 7 to 7:40. A sound bath is a meditative, destressing singing bowl concert. The vibrations and the harmony of the singing bowls melt away stress. Come to yoga, stay for the Sound Bath! The events are separate sign ups so if it works better for you, just come to the Sound Bath : ) Sign up at gratitudeyoga.net, find the schedule button and scroll down to the sound bath button to sign up.

Autumn yoga is awesome yoga : )🍂

Monday, Oct. 6 at 6 p.m. is yoga time!🗓
50 minutes, just for you.🍂
Have you heard of a drishti? In yoga, drishti refers to a specific point of focus for the eyes during practice to improve concentration and stabilize your thoughts during balances or when holding poses. We are starting a series of sequences all about focus with this idea of drishti in mind. Who doesn't need a little more focus in the fall?🍂

Classes are every 1st and 3rd Mondays and are beginner friendly with beginner and intermediate cues.🍂

In October, we will practice on the deck whenever possible. Classes will be held indoors from November to February.🍂

The cost is $10 ($5 for students). Proceeds go to our lovely venue 🙂. 🍂

To sign up, message us here or go to gratitudeyoga.net where you can sign up and even pay ahead if you'd like! Whenever we practice inside, sign up is helpful since we have a max of 13 in those cases. :)
Bring your mat. We have blocks.🍂

Questions? Message us here or through messenger.🍂

Get ready to calm your mind and get fit while you are doing it.🧡🤎🧡🤎🧡🤎
