Welcome Back, Ally! ✨

We’re beyond excited to welcome Ally back to The Sweaty Buddha after some time away to heal an injury! 💛🧡❤️

A longtime member of our teaching community, Ally brings so much passion, enthusiasm, and heart to her classes. With a deep appreciation for the power of movement, she creates space for students to connect with themselves and their practice. ❤️‍🔥

Come flow with Ally on Mondays from 4:00–5:15 PM for Hot Vinyasa! Read Ally Shea full bio below! ⬇️

Ally’s enthusiasm, passion and commitment are deeply woven into her core identity as an instructor, mother, partner and friend. She moved to Durango from San Diego in 2001 to attend Fort Lewis and fell in love with the mountains, the people and the small, eclectic town. She became an educator and left Durango to explore in 2008, knowing she would be back. During that time she received her M.Ed in environmental education and restoration ecology from the UW and started a school in Denver. She discovered yoga in college and intrinsically recognized its power. She needed an outlet for the demands of a master’s degree and starting a brand new school, so over a decade later, in 2012 she received her 200-hour teacher training in Hatha/Vinyasa. Then, in 2013, she became a certified kids’ yoga instructor.  In 2018, she moved back to Durango with her (then) 3 and a half year old twin boys, Bodhi and River and started teaching at The Sweaty Buddha in 2020.  Ally is currently working with Janet Stone on her 500-hour certification.

Yoga has given Ally the gift of bringing awareness to her breath and body, providing her the ability to understand her thought patterns and the choice we all have to choose joy each and every morning, moving through life more intentionally. As an instructor, she enjoys sequencing creatively so that each flow feels like a dance. She loves to encourage her students to try new things, often finding how incredibly capable their bodies are. She changes her sequences monthly, giving students an opportunity to melt into tense areas of the body and build strength in muscles they didn’t know they had.

Upcoming Workshop- WHY AM I STILL STUCK? ✨with Megan Oberholtzer

Ever find yourself understanding a pattern, relationship, or belief intellectually… yet somehow continuing to repeat it?

Sometimes, knowing why we do something isn’t enough to help us move through it. 🔮

Join us for Why Am I Still Stuck? — a guided, experiential workshop exploring the patterns and emotions that may be keeping you from moving forward.

Through reflection, guided regression, integration, and a crystal singing bowl sound bath, we’ll create space to slow down, listen inward, and explore what might be ready to shift. 🤎

No previous hypnosis or meditation experience needed. No expectations. Just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

💭You may leave with a fresh perspective, deeper self-understanding, or simply a little more clarity around what comes next.

📅 Saturday, October 24th
⏰ 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

Have you been curious 👀 about our upcoming workshop ✨WHY AM I STILL STUCK? ✨with Megan Oberholtzer? Here’s what to expect: ➡️

➡️You don’t have to believe in past lives for this workshop to be meaningful.

Why Am I Still Stuck? is a guided, experiential workshop designed to help you get underneath the patterns, emotions, relationships, or beliefs that you consciously understand but somehow still can’t seem to move beyond. 🔮📿

We’ll talk briefly about how the subconscious mind stores patterns and experiences, then move into a gentle guided regression experience followed by integration and a crystal singing bowl sound bath. 💟

You don’t need any previous hypnosis or meditation experience. 💭You also don’t need to “see” anything or have a dramatic past-life experience. There is no right way for the experience to unfold.

A LITTLE ABOUT THE WORK

One of the things I hear most often is some version of: “I know why I do this. I’ve talked about it. I’ve worked on it. So why am I still doing it?”

That’s the space I’m most interested in. 🔬

Sometimes insight isn’t the problem. Sometimes we’ve understood something intellectually for years, but there’s another layer underneath it that hasn’t been accessed yet.

That’s what we’ll explore together at Sweaty Buddha. 💕✨🧘🏽

NEW WORKSHOP ✨More Joy. More Peace. Without Wine.✨A fun, interactive workshop for women with Elan Price Hardy

What are you reaching for when you pour a glass of w**e? A little peace? Permission to relax? A moment that feels like yours? 🧘🏽

Join Somatic Sobriety Coach Elan Price Hardy for a welcoming afternoon exploring how to find more of what you’re looking for in a glass within yourself. 📿Through guided somatic practices, reflection, and conversation, you’ll explore what helps you unwind, how to soften stress in your body, and simple ways to bring more joy and connection into everyday life. You’ll leave with practical tools to use when the day feels full and you’re ready for a little relief. 😮‍💨

Whether you enjoy w**e occasionally, are curious about drinking less, or already live alcohol-free, you’re welcome. 💟You don’t have to want to quit to be curious.
Elan brings 13+ years of sobriety, a degree in psychology and sociology, and certifications in somatic trauma therapy and integrative wellness coaching. Her approach helps women make their mind, body, and heart a place they want to live.

Come curious. Bring a friend. Come as you are.💕

✨ Student Spotlight: BROOKE ✨

Some journeys on the mat take us all the way around the world. 🌏

On her most recent trip to Mysore, India, Brooke returned to study and practice with her teacher, deepening her connection to the roots of Ashtanga yoga and the lineage passed down through generations of dedicated practitioners. 🕉️📿

Her visit also coincided with a special 100th 🎉birthday celebration honoring one of the last students of T. Krishnamacharya, a beautiful reminder of the history, dedication, and living tradition behind this practice.

We’re grateful to have students like Brooke in our community who continue to explore, learn, and share their love of yoga both on and beyond the mat! 🧡

You can be sure Reliance brings joy, kindness, and gratitude into its everyday work, skills Alex and Lizzy attribute to their regular yoga practices. 🧘🏽🕉️

✔️What is Reliance, after all?

✔️Are you part of a local HOA?
Join Alex, Lizzy and the rest of the Reliance team at their 2nd Annual HOA Board Member Celebration this Thursday, October 15th, 4-6PM at The Rochester Hotel garden courtyard. 🏖️

A room full of people exploring what it means to be human… together. 🩷❤️🧡💛

At The Sweaty Buddha, yoga is about so much more than touching your toes or nailing a handstand (although we have fun trying 😉).It’s about showing up as you are, trying something new, falling out of a pose and laughing, cultivating stillness when life feels loud. 🕉️Sweating, breathing, growing, and remembering that we don’t have to figure it all out alone!

➡️You don’t have to be flexible.
➡️You don’t have to be experienced.
➡️You don’t have to look a certain way.

You just have to show up.🧘🏽

We believe yoga should be accessible, playful, and deeply rooted in community. There’s room for you here, exactly as you are. 🧘‍♀️

✨ Curious about practicing with us? Come take a class, bring a friend, and see what it feels like to be part of the community.

We can’t wait to meet you. 🤍
