Ahimsa is a Sanskrit term that translates to non-harming. It embodies a broader sense of compassion, empathy and respect; in thought, in speech and in action.

It’s a HUGE part of our yoga practice, or at least it should be.

How we show up on our mats, how we practice, how we speak to ourselves, and how we speak to and about others in our yoga community.

A bolster does everything a block can do…but it’s soft and cozy, so a bolster is perfect for the end of a class, or a slower practice that prioritizes support.

It makes almost any pose on the floor better.

Supported bridge? Better on a bolster.
Supine fish? Bolster 100%.
Supine twist? Grab a bolster for between, or under your legs, and thank us later.

Nidra is a type of Non Sleep Deep Rest that guides you toward a state of profound physical relaxation.

Examine the practice in two parts; theory and the creation of a Sankalpla, and then enjoy the benefits in real time while Michelle leads you through a Nidra.

If you’ve ever doubted the benefits of a regular yoga practice, look no further than the back row of our 9:30 am classes.

Every day we witness physical proof that strength is not an aesthetic, it is a mindset. Approaching your yoga practice with grace, kindness, discipline and commitment is the definition of Power Yoga, and those who don’t get it…too bad for you, because this crew also has A LOT of fun.
