A sneak peek of what's coming tomorrow!

Chris Beach will be teaching a special class on exploring The Art of the Twist 🤞

Whether you are joining in person or via Zoom, you can expect to leave feeling refreshed, energized and ready to enjoy the fullness of summer with a supple spine.

Take this time to discover new ways to culivate mobility and stability. Summer is the season of activity. Traveling, hiking, gardening, spending long days outdoors. This season of movement can leave the body feeling sore and fatigued.

The Art of the Twist with Chris will allow space to refine the essential actions of a healthy twist, including establishing a steady foundation, creating length through the spine, and rotating with precision instead of force.

We are looking forward to see everyone tomorrow morning! If you aren't signed up, theres still time!

Happy Guru Purnima! I’m so grateful to all the wonderful teachers in my life, guiding me on this path of Iyengar Yoga over these many years.❤️ Browning MillerrGulnaaz DashtiiUday Bhosalee

BKS Iyengar once said
“I am a teacher, not a guru. Anyone can be a guru. I am just a student of Yoga. In the Iyengar tradition, the guru is not only a person. It is the practice itself. The pose that teaches patience, the breath that teaches stillness the mat that asked us to return..”

Today we honor the light passed from teacher to student through observation, correction, practice and devotion. To every teacher who is guided us to every student who continues to listen practicing return, and to the practice that remains when words fall silent.

Summer is a season of movement - traveling, hiking, gardening, playing and spending long days outdoors. All of this activity can leave the body feeling sore and fatigued. Twisting postures help restore balance by releasing tension in the spine, shoulder and hips while creating space for easier breathing and freer movement.

Join Chris Beach on Saturday, August 8th for our second installment of "The Art of the Twist"🤞🧘

This special class will be from 9AM-10:30AM, and there are both hybrid and in person options available.

Memberships and class packages are accepted.

Expect to leave feeling refreshed, energized and ready to enjoy the fullness of summer with a supple spine and a greater sense of ease.

What if positivity wasn't something to chase, but something to cultivate?

Join us for our summer retreat next weekend to explore how yoga leads to a calm, joyful, and balanced mind.

☀️🧘

In yoga, there's a term called citta prasadanam which translates to "a mind with a sweet disposition." It's the state of mind that is calm, joyful, and filled with love and compassion for ourselves and others.

During our Iyengar yoga retreat, we'll explore how the alignment of body, breath, and mind can support this positive, balanced state. Through mindful practice and focused breathing, you'll learn how to gently bring your awareness to the present moment, helping to nurture a joyful, calm, and loving mindset that can transform your well-being both on and off the mat.
