Tiny Ayurveda 🍁

Ancient wisdom. Ordinary days.

Well, we’ve officially reached the part of the year where the wind is rearranging everything outside.

In Ayurveda, autumn is associated with Vata dosha, which carries the qualities of air and space. Think cool, dry, light, and constantly moving.

Sound familiar, Minnesota?

Ayurveda teaches us to notice the qualities of the season and find ways to bring a little balance.

Warm meals. Regular routines. A little oil on dry skin. Slowing down when everything feels scattered.
Nothing particularly complicated.

Sometimes taking care of ourselves begins with noticing what the world around us is doing and responding accordingly.

And sometimes that response is soup.
We’re very supportive of soup. 🍲

Sound Bath Meets Thai is back for round two!

An immersive sound bath paired with a mini, focused Thai bodywork session for every guest.

We may have put together the softest double feature… and we’re doing it again. ✨

Laura will lead an immersive, hour-long sound bath while Bethany moves quietly around the room, offering each guest a mini Thai bodywork session focused on an area they’ve chosen. Bethany will connect with everyone privately by email beforehand so you can share where your body could use a little extra care.

We’ll help you create a comfortable resting position with mats, bolsters, blocks, and blankets—because an hour of stillness should feel restful in your body, too.

Thai bodywork is received fully clothed, all touch is optional, and no yoga or bodywork experience is needed.

Questions Worth Sitting With 🌱

What are you getting better at noticing?

Not fixing.
Not changing.
Just noticing.

Maybe it’s the moment your shoulders creep toward your ears.
The way your mind gets louder when you’re tired.
The people who make you feel more like yourself.

The moment you’re actually content - before your brain starts looking for the next thing.

Practice has a funny way of making the small things easier to see.

Sometimes that’s enough.

Have you ever gone to yoga and barely moved? 😴

That’s pretty much the idea behind Restorative Yoga.

We bring out the blankets, bolsters, and all the cozy things. Then we settle into comfortable positions where you rest, and the props do most of the work.

You don’t have to stretch deeper, hold yourself up, or try to accomplish anything.

And yes, occasionally someone falls asleep. We consider that a pretty good Thursday night.

There’s something really lovely about having an hour where nobody needs anything from you.

Hey guys! This one's for you. 🙌
We've got a whole yoga class just for men on Thursday nights.

Never done yoga? Perfect. Haven't stretched since high school football?

You're in good company.

We'll move, stretch, work on balance, and learn a little yoga along the way. Nobody expects you to know what you're doing when you walk in. That's why we have teachers.

Men on the Mat | Thursdays at 6 PM

Flexibility optional. Showing up counts.

One Minute Yoga🌿
Sometimes the practice is knowing when to ask for help.

🌿 Or realizing the way you’ve always done something isn’t the only way to do it.
🌿 Or having someone quietly say, “Try this,” and suddenly something makes a little more sense.

We talk a lot about listening to your body around here. But part of learning to listen is also learning. Asking questions. Trying things. Being curious.

None of us walked in knowing all of this.

Actually, none of us are finished learning it either.
We kind of like it that way.

A note from our owner Bethany Garvin :
In yoga, we learn not to cling to anything. We appreciate, we cherish, we hold space for, but we do not cling.

Over the past two years of being open, there have been changes, shifts, and big adjustments. I’ve had a staff member pass away after battling cancer, staff move away, new instructors join the studio, and now one instructor is taking a big step forward towards studio ownership.

When amazing opportunities appear, my hope is always that people take them. That definitely includes the instructors at my studio.

Stephanie and I spoke about an opportunity she had to possibly transition into running and eventually owning a studio a short time ago, and I am absolutely thrilled for her!

Running a studio comes with challenges and sacrifices, but it also brings the ability to evolve with a community in a new way.

Stephanie, you are loved and will be missed! We are all so excited to watch you move forward in your journey! 💚

October Schedule at Raw Emerald 🍂

October always feels like the month when the studio gets a little cozier.
The evenings get darker. The socks come back out. And walking downstairs into a warm room to move for an hour starts sounding pretty good.

Our October schedule is here, with all the familiar ways to practice — Hatha, Flow, Gentle, Yin, Restorative, Barre and Pilates… plus a little extra love for Thursday nights.

Men on the Mat is joining the schedule on Thursdays at 6:30 PM. If you’ve been curious about yoga but aren’t quite sure you belong in a yoga class, this one was made with you in mind. No flexibility required. No need to know the poses. Just come as you are, and we’ll start there.

And afterward, Thursday evenings slow way down with Restorative Yoga… supported poses, plenty of props, and time to actually be still for a while. The kind of practice that starts sounding especially good as we head toward the darker half of the year.

Different classes. Different reasons for showing up.

Take a look through the October schedule, find something that sounds like you, and we’ll see you downstairs. 💚
