The next session in our Meditation & Pranayama Series takes us a little deeper.

Receiving vs. Projecting: Learning the Art of Discernment

How do we know when we’re simply noticing what arises and when our expectations, fears, desires, or assumptions are shaping what we experience?

Through breathwork, guided meditation, quiet observation, and reflection, we’ll explore how to create space between what we notice and the story we attach to it.

This isn’t about finding the “right” answer. It’s about becoming quieter, more aware, and more discerning.

Fridays in August from 6:00–7:30 PM
Studio Dara Center for the Healing Arts
$25 drop-in

No meditation experience necessary. Come exactly as you are.

Dear Studio Dara Family,

When I opened the doors to Studio Dara, I hoped to create more than a yoga studio. I hoped to create a place where people felt seen. A place where beginners felt just as welcome as experienced yogis. A place where movement, breath, meditation, and genuine human connection could help people heal; not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Because of your support, that dream has become a reality.

Today, Studio Dara is growing in ways I once only imagined, and I couldn’t be more excited to share what’s ahead.

Beginning August 1st, we’ll be making a small adjustment to our membership and class rates. This change is an investment in the future of Studio Dara and allows us to continue expanding while staying true to the values that have always guided us.

What’s New With Your Membership?
Your membership is about to include more opportunities than ever before.
-Nearly double the weekly class schedule, giving you more flexibility to practice when it works for you.
-Three wonderful new instructors, each bringing their own experience, passion, and unique style of teaching.
-Six new weekly classes, including Hot Yoga Sculpt, additional yoga offerings, meditation experiences, and specialty classes.
-Monthly workshops designed to help you dive deeper into yoga, mindfulness, meditation, healing, and personal growth.
-A FREE Sunday Community Yoga class, because we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience yoga, regardless of their financial circumstances.
-An even stronger community dedicated to movement, healing, lifelong learning, and supporting one another.

Every addition is designed with one goal in mind: to make Studio Dara an even better place for you to grow in your practice and find community. Rather than charging premium prices as we grow, we’ve intentionally chosen to keep our memberships as affordable and accessible as possible while making only the increase necessary to support our expanded programming, our incredible instructors, and the long-term sustainability of the studio.

Even with this adjustment, Studio Dara remains one of the most affordable and accessible yoga studios in our region.

Accessibility has always been one of our core values, and it always will be. If these new rates create a financial hardship for you, please don’t quietly step away from your practice. Reach out to me personally. We’ll have a conversation and do our best to find an option that allows you to remain part of our community. No one should feel that healing and wellness are out of reach because of finances.

New Membership Rates:
Effective August 1, 2026-
Unlimited Monthly Membership $65/month
Student/Senior Monthly Membership $55/month
10-Class Pass $100 (shareable with 1 family member)
Drop-In Class $12
New Family Unlimited Monthly $85/month (up to 3 family members)
(We’ll also post these rates at the studio and on our website.)

Thank you for believing in Studio Dara from the very beginning or for joining us somewhere along the journey. Every class you’ve attended, every friend you’ve invited, every smile you’ve shared, and every moment you’ve spent on your mat has helped build this community.

This next chapter isn’t simply about adding more classes. It’s about creating more opportunities for healing. More opportunities for connection. More opportunities for growth. And most importantly, welcoming even more people into a community that continues to lead with kindness, compassion, and heart.

Thank you for growing with us. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us next.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Viviane Khounlavong
Owner, Studio Dara Center for the Healing Arts

The first chapter has been written… and what a beautiful beginning it was.

Watching our very first 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training cohort grow into confident, compassionate teachers has been one of the greatest honors of my journey. They came seeking knowledge, but they left with something even greater, a deeper relationship with themselves, lifelong friendships, and the confidence to share yoga with others.

Now, I’m excited to open enrollment for our next 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training, beginning September at Studio Dara Center for the Healing Arts.

This training is for you if you feel called to:
-Deepen your personal yoga practice
-Learn the philosophy and traditions behind yoga—not just the poses
-Build confidence in teaching with authenticity and compassion
-Explore meditation, pranayama, anatomy, and mindful movement
-Become part of a supportive, small-group community where every student is truly seen

Whether your dream is to teach or simply to immerse yourself in a transformational experience, this training is designed to meet you where you are.

Our first cohort reminded me why I created this program: to preserve the heart of yoga while helping each student discover their own voice as a teacher.

Enrollment is now open for our September cohort. Space is intentionally limited to ensure personal mentorship throughout the program.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to begin, perhaps this is it.

I’d love to walk this path with you.
