Cooling days are around the corner, and with them, our habits of moving through the world change, sometimes not so subtly! Ayurveda, the ancient balancing and healing practice, can help support our overall health and well-being during this time of transition into new rhythms.

On Saturday, October 3rd, join Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor Rimmi for a gentle return to grounding as the weather cools and the energy shifts. Ayurveda for Fall: A One Day Wellness Retreat offers a warm, grounding space to steady your system and ease into the season in a warm home setting just 10 minutes from the Yoga Center of Columbia!

Whether you’re feeling overstimulated, depleted, or simply craving more steadiness, this day helps you root your energy and restore a sense of calm and clarity. Spend the day exploring Ayurveda’s fall guidance, practice warming and stabilizing yoga, enjoy a nourishing Ayurvedic lunch, create your own Fall Spice Blend, and settle into meditation and restorative practices that support grounding and balance.

This retreat is for anyone who feels the quickening pace of fall and is longing for warmth, steadiness, and deeper connection. No experience is required.

Space will be limited to keep the experience intimate and supportive.

The retreat will be held in a home setting near the Yoga Center of Columbia studio, with the full address shared upon registration.

Make time to get still and let the harmony of sound and breath blend to explore a deep state of relaxation, balance and peace. ☮

This coming Sunday afternoon, September 6th, is Sound Immersion with Mo! Allow the calming sound waves of crystal quartz bowls & Himalayan singing bowls, shells, chimes and an ocean drum surround you and restore your intrinsic coherent rhythms.

These instruments played solo and in unison allows for a phenomenon called sympathetic resonance - a catalyst of vibrations creating balance in the body’s frequencies and calming the nervous system.

You will leave with a sense of lightness, peace, and joy. Register here! https://momence.com/Yoga-Center-of-Columbia/Sound-Immersion/137966138?skipPreview=true

Move beyond basic concepts of Osteoporosis and learn how to apply that knowledge safely and effectively in real-world teaching next month with Lucy in Yoga for Osteoporosis: Advanced Teaching Skills on September 20th! Register before September 6th to receive our special Early Bird rate. 🐤

In this workshop, participants will learn to:
➡️ Observe postural and movement patterns
➡️ Understand spinal loading and safe ranges of motion
➡️ Recognize common habits that may increase risk, particularly in transitions and everyday movements
➡️ Learn how to adapt familiar yoga postures to support bone health
➡️ Emphasize a neutral spine, strength-building, and safe, sustainable movement strategies while teaching

This training will focus on how to teach — refining cueing language, pacing, and class design to better serve students with osteoporosis or those at risk. By the end of the training, teachers will feel more confident in their ability to create thoughtful, well-structured classes, offer meaningful adaptations, and support students in building strength, balance, and resilience in a safe and empowering way.

We will explore how bone health, fracture risk, posture, and movement patterns intersect—giving teachers a clearer lens through which to assess and support your students. Participants will learn how to look beyond bone density scores alone, and instead consider the full picture: alignment, strength, balance, and functional movement. A central focus of the training will be practical application.

This training is appropriate for yoga teachers, yoga therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other health professionals. It will include handouts of poses and actions covered and access to the training recording. Yoga teachers registered with Yoga Alliance will receive 5 CEs upon successful completion.

➡️ Learn how to build strength, mobility, and bone density during the wisdom years
➡️ Explore calming techniques such as relaxation and restorative poses to assist in managing symptoms, and enjoy time for personal inquiry and journaling
