There’s more than one way to practice. And there’s more than one reason to come to the mat. 🌿

Maybe you’re looking to build strength, balance & stability.
Maybe you want to cultivate resilience, mobility & greater capacity.
Maybe you need to slow down, restore & support your nervous system.
Or maybe you’re craving movement, connection, or simply a place to land.

At PRANA Therapeutic Yoga Studio, our fall schedule offers something for every body, every level, and every season of life. 💙

Explore warm vinyasa, all-levels flow, mindful movement, restorative & yin yoga, somatic practices, nervous system-focused classes, Reiki-infused offerings, sound healing, and more, guided by experienced yoga teachers, somatic practitioners, Reiki practitioners, and licensed therapists who bring trauma-informed care, therapeutic insight, and nervous system education into our offerings.

✨ And for a limited time, practice as often as you’d like for $99/month with unlimited yoga.

Come as you are. Explore what supports you. Find the practices that help you feel stronger, steadier, more grounded, and more connected to yourself and your community.

Your practice doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. We’d love to welcome you to PRANA. 💙🌿

Love And Yoga

How do you bring yoga off the mat and into daily life?

Sometimes it's the simple things, the pausing to breathe, to notice, to watch the birds, feel the sun on your skin, dance in the rain, feel the comforts of your home around you, feel the warmth of an embrace. Happiness can feel elusive sometimes, but the choice to find contentment is always available if you stop to take a look, accept the present moment, and remember your joyful nature.

Santosha is one of the Niyamas, the second limb of Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga, from the yoga sutras. Yoga lives off the mat - in each breath, in each movement, in each thought.

Wishing you a joyful week ahead, with moments to relish in simple contentment ~ Jen Rizza, Founder of Newtown Wellness Collective
