EQUANIMITY: FINDING STILLNESS WITHIN

Become the sky, not the clouds.

This Wednesday, we welcome Erin Deitzler back for her second year teaching at Yoga on the River for a practice exploring the yogic virtue of upeksa - equanimity.

Through a slow, balancing, heart-opening, and centering asana and pranayama practice, Erin will invite us to explore what it means to observe rather than absorb our experiences.

To find the stillness within us even when life around us feels anything but still. To discover our harbor in the tempest.

Her professional counseling approach incorporates yoga philosophy, mindful movement/breathwork and modern psychological techniques.

This week’s Yoga on the River is generously sponsored by Alex Waugh, Realtor, Wiseman Real Estate, helping us continue to offer FREE yoga to our community all summer long. As if this wasn't generous enough, Alex will be sharing a light supper of red beans and rice after practice!

Since the river has been up and we aren't sure it will be down, and the dock won't be covered by mud and debris, we will meet at the fountains at Court Street Commons in front of COURT GRILL and Gallery 14. Plus, Alex needs power for the crockpots, so it's perfect!

🌿 Wednesday, August 26 at 6 PM - stay for a shared meal thanks to Alex
📍 Court Street Commons
✨ FREE + OPEN TO ALL

Bring your mat. Bring your breath. Bring whatever life has been asking you to carry. For an hour, let’s practice becoming the sky. ☁️

🏡 THIS WEEK’S YOGA ON THE RIVER SPONSOR: ALEX WAUGH WISEMAN REAL ESTATE 🏡

This week, we are so grateful to Alex Waugh, Realtor, Wiseman Real Estate for sponsoring Yoga on the River!

Alex is part of a company that has been helping people find their place in Southeast Ohio for generations. Wiseman Real Estate has roots in our region dating all the way back to 1943, building its reputation around honesty, integrity, hard work, and truly knowing the communities they serve.

And we love seeing Alex continue that tradition right here in our community.

There is something pretty special about a local realtor choosing to invest back into the place they call home. Alex’s sponsorship helps us gather together, move our bodies, breathe, connect, and continue offering Yoga on the River completely FREE to anyone who wants to join us.

Because a community is about so much more than houses and property. It’s about the people who live here. The relationships we build. The ways we show up for one another. And the things we create together.

Thank you, Alex, for showing up for this community and supporting Yoga on the River. And thank you to the team at Wiseman Real Estate for the many years you’ve spent helping people throughout Southeast Ohio find a place to call home.

We are so grateful to have you as part of what we’re building together. 🏡💚

JENNY STOTTS IS BACK!!!

We are so excited to welcome Jenny Stotts back to Yoga on the River this Wednesday to guide us through Dream On: Soft Yin.

This week, bring a dream with you. Maybe it’s a dream for your life. Maybe it’s an actual dream that has stayed with you. Maybe it’s something you’ve been imagining, hoping for, or quietly carrying in your heart. It might be a picture. It might be words on paper. It might exist only inside you. Just bring it.

Jenny will guide us through a soft Yin practice...a chance to slow down, settle into our bodies, and create some spaciousness for whatever wants to emerge when we get quiet enough to listen.

Bring your mat and a blanket or two for extra coziness and comfort.

This week’s Yoga on the River is generously sponsored by Five Rivers Indian Cuisine and we are so grateful to Chef Manju and Arun for supporting free yoga in our community during Chef Manju’s birthday week! ❤️🍛

THIS WEEK’S YOGA ON THE RIVER SPONSOR: Five Rivers Indian Cuisine

Okay, we are STOKED about this week’s sponsor because Indian food is hands-down our #1 FAVORITE cuisine here at Yoga on the River.

Give us the saag paneer, dal, biryani, pani puri, samosas, pakoras... ALL OF IT.

This week’s class is generously sponsored by Five Rivers Indian Cuisine, and we especially want to send so much love and gratitude to Chef Manju, along with Arun (who initiated this sponsorship), for bringing the incredible flavors of India right here to our little corner of Southeast Ohio.

And how perfect is this?! Chef Manju celebrates her birthday on August 17, just TWO DAYS before the Yoga on the River class they’re sponsoring! 🎉❤️ So this week, we get to celebrate this wonderful woman AND thank her for supporting free yoga in our community.

There is something so special about being able to experience food and flavors from around the world right here in Appalachia...and even more special when they’re being shared by people who have become part of the fabric of our community.

Thank you, Chef Manju and Arun, for feeding this community, for sharing your food and culture with us, and for supporting Yoga on the River. We are so grateful for you.

And Chef Manju, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎉 May your next trip around the sun be as freaking delicious as the food you make for all of us. ❤️😂

Now... who wants saag paneer? 🙋‍♀️🍛

🌊 THE CURRENT: AN AROMATHERAPY FLOW EXPERIENCE 🌊

This Wednesday, we welcome Shannon Crow to Yoga on the River for a beautiful sensory experience inspired by the rhythm and fluidity of water.

Shannon has been enjoying the practice of yoga for 15 years. Her practice is influenced by Ashtanga yoga with additional insight from Hatha and Vinyassa yoga. She obtained her RYT-200 from Yogamu School in December, 2023.

Shannon prides herself in teaching ways to incorporate pranayama into daily practice and life, continuing to connect the mind and body of yoga. Her overall positive attitude and energized spirit is undeniable to those who know her.

Shannon’s goals are to provide individual yoga experiences that include learning the fundamentals of asanas and/or to assist those to advance their strength and flexibility of their yoga abilities. She is excited to continue learning and growing her yoga knowledge in the specialty of kids and trauma so that she can one day promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being for those seeking to absorb the natural benefits of yoga.

A message from this weeks teacher,

"Join us August 12th for YOTR! Allow me to guide you through “The Current”! Connect your physical being with the grounding of river rocks to the harmony of water flowing down the mighty OHIO. Allowing the aroma of essential oils to infiltrate your senses while moving fluidly through the asanas of yoga! Through mind, body and spirit, give your body the space it needs to recharge!"

Feel your feet on the ground and the rhythm of your breath.

💙 THIS WEEK’S YOGA ON THE RIVER SPONSOR: The Vaughan Agency💙

This week, we are so grateful to have The Vaughan Agency sponsoring Yoga on the River!

For more than two decades, Don Vaughan and his team have been serving families and businesses throughout our region...and what we love is that their commitment goes far beyond insurance. Don has spent his life right here in Southern Ohio, serving on local boards, supporting community organizations, investing in our youth, and genuinely caring about the people who call this place home.

That kind of community care matters to us.

Yoga on the River exists because local businesses and organizations like The Vaughan Agency believe that bringing people together matters. Their sponsorship helps us keep this practice FREE and accessible to everyone who wants to show up, roll out a mat, take a breath, and move together.

Thank you, Don and the entire Vaughan Agency team, for investing in the health, connection, and well-being of our little river community.

We are so grateful to have you in our corner and in our community.

🎶🔥 HOUSE FLOW IS BACK! 🔥🎶

Last year, Michelle and Laura packed O’Brien Park for one of the most ridiculously fun Yoga on the River classes of the summer, and WE CANNOT WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN.

Except this year, we’ve got more room to PLAY.

We’re taking over Court Street Commons, and we want to fill this beautiful space with people laughing, doing yoga, moving their bodies, and DANCING LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING.

Laura will be bringing the live house music while Michelle brings the flow.

We seriously had THE BEST TIME doing this together last year. There is just something about practicing yoga with a live DJ that makes you remember how freaking GOOD it feels to move your body.

And listen... we all need more dancing in our lives.

Ohhhh, how we used to love the club. And apparently over-40 raves are now THE THING, so honestly, we are right on trend.

Except our version means you get to dance, do yoga, move your body to live house music, sweat with a bunch of awesome humans... AND STILL MAKE YOUR 9 PM BEDTIME. 😂🙌

Our incredible sponsor this week, Robin Fowler State Farm will be keeping us hydrated with a hydration station...because we are definitely going to SWEAT. 💦 And if you’ve got some Robin Fowler RED, wear it! ❤️

🎶 Wednesday, August 5 at 6 PM
📍 Court Street Commons
✨ FREE + OPEN TO ALL

Bring your mat. Bring your water. Bring your friends.

Let’s fill Court Street Commons.

Let’s move our bodies.

Let’s dance like no one is watching.

We’ll see you on the dance floor... we mean, your yoga mat. 😏🔥🎶

❤️ THIS WEEK’S YOGA ON THE RIVER SPONSOR: Robin Fowler State Farm ❤️

We LOVE Robin Fowler and her freaking awesome State Farm team!

If you know Robin and her crew, you already know. They are the kind of people who genuinely care about the humans they serve, show up for this community, and somehow make dealing with insurance feel... dare we say... enjoyable?! 😂

And apparently we aren't the only ones who think they're incredible. Just go read their reviews! People LOVE this team and for very good reason.

We are so grateful to Robin Fowler State Farm for sponsoring this week’s Yoga on the River and helping us keep yoga FREE and accessible to our community.

And because this week we're turning up the heat with House Flow with DJ Laura, Robin and her team are making sure we don't all shrivel up on our mats. They'll be providing a hydration station for everyone because we are DEFINITELY going to sweat. 💦🎶

Thank you, Robin and team, for being so freaking awesome and for continuing to show up for our community. We love having you as part of Yoga on the River!

And if you've got some Robin Fowler RED, wear it Wednesday! ❤️❤️❤️
