The body has its own wisdom.
Learn how to use this resource!

Join Rose for a body-centered hour designed to help you reconnect with that wisdom and explore ways to support greater ease, balance, and resilience.

Stress can live in the body as well as in the mind. In this class, Rose creates a supportive, welcoming space to explore practices that encourage softening, tension releasing, and settling into a greater sense of calm.

Drawing from years of experience in her private healing practice and the practices shared in her book, Empowered to Heal, Rose will introduce practices that you can learn and take with you - tools to use in everyday life to reconnect with your body and support greater ease, balance, and resilience.

Practices include TRE (Trauma/Tension Release Exercises), gentle neurovascular holds, healing sounds, meditation, and Energy Medicine techniques.

You’ll be invited to move at your own pace, listen inwardly, and discover what feels supportive for you. No previous experience with any of these practices is required - arrive with curiosity and an openness to experience.

This class is an opportunity to pause, reconnect with yourself, and explore physically, emotionally, and mentally in a safe and welcoming space.

All are welcome.

- Healing Sound Bath with Raji
Sunday, September 27th
3:30 -5:00pm
$35.

Raji will begin with gentle stretches and chakra focused chanting to check in with our own vibration. Then we’ll relax back and feel the restorative and healing resonance of gongs, bowls and bells. It’s amazing!

Sound has a way of reaching places words can’t. During a Sound Bath, the gentle tones of bowls, chimes, and gongs invite your body and mind to slow down. The steady rhythm of sound helps the brain shift into relaxed states — the same waves we experience in meditation and deep rest.

Raji bio:
Raji’s classes are shaped by a lifelong relationship with classical yoga, informed by decades of study beginning at age twelve and grounded in Ashtanga Vinyasa, Mysore practice, Iyengar precision, and Anusara’s emphasis on alignment and intention. Movement is purposeful and intelligent, with adaptable sun salutations that meet students where they are—strong, steady, and never rushed.
Students can expect clear instruction, thoughtful sequencing, and a strong emphasis on breath. Drawing from his work in pranayama and his writings on breathing, Raji often incorporates vocal toning and joint-releasing practices that prepare the body gradually and reveal how much ease can emerge when effort is well directed. Alignment is explored as a support for awareness rather than something to perfect.
With experience leading yoga teacher trainings since 1998, Raji teaches with calm authority shaped by long observation and practice. Classes invite students to witness how structure creates freedom and how repetition—when approached with curiosity—can be quietly transformative. Students often leave feeling grounded, clear, and subtly reorganized, sometimes noticing that the practice worked on them more deeply than expected.
He is the co-owner of Yoga Synthesis Online and Program Director of Yoga Synthesis Teacher Trainings. The Yoga Synthesis method represents the integration of everything he has learned and explored over many years of practice and teaching. Raji is an E-RYT 500, a certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), and the author of Mastering Vinyasa Yoga, One Breath, and The Complete Guide to Gentle Yoga.

Dear Yoga Friends,

One of the gifts of summer is the invitation to be present. Feeling the warmth of the sun, enjoying long sunsets, the freedom of days off, tasting garden-fresh foods or breathing in the scent of an ocean breeze. These simple experiences can become memories that stay with us long after summer is over.

Let's carry summer with us always!

A yoga practice teaches us to slow down and be present with our experience - to notice the breath, the sensations in the body, the quality of our energy, and the thoughts that arise without needing to change them. The more we practice being present, the more we discover that there is often much more to experience than we first noticed.

Hold onto those summer moments. Let yourself remember how they felt. They are yours to savor.

We invite you to slow down and savor the moments of summer as if you were in savasana - breathing in the good, exhaling what is no longer needed.

See you soon!

With gratitude,
Jennifer

Reset Your Energy with Sylvia
Has been postponed!
New date to be announced soon.

This is a great class for New Students to experience the studio!

Join Sylvia in a cozy healing environment as she guides you through two healing practices:
Energy Medicine Yoga (EMYoga) & Yoga Nidra

EMYoga blends the ease of yoga basics with the Chinese Meridian System and Energy Medicine to balance the body’s meridians, chakras and aura for healing.
It's a doable, flowing, self care method that includes tapping, breathing and flowing movement to clear energy blocks and create deeper states of relaxation and resilience.

A Yoga Nidra practice is profoundly relaxing. It offers a level of rest to the nervous system that sleep doesn’t always provide. It helps the body downshift out of stress mode, allowing deep restoration, better sleep quality, and more sustainable energy.
The two practices together support brain and body balance - the ability to move between activity and rest with ease.

Breathing Life into Your Yoga Poses

Sunday, June 28th

$30.

~ All Levels Welcome ~

Do you breathe fully and deeply during your yoga practice?

Many people move through poses without experiencing the profound effects that conscious breathing can offer. When breath and movement work together, yoga becomes more spacious, supported, energized, and alive. Breath has the power to influence the nervous, muscular, skeletal, and digestive systems, creating a practice that is both transformative and healing.

Drawing from the teachings in his book "One Breath" and a decades-long practice, Raji will share his secrets for connecting with your inner breath and energy awareness. Through thoughtfully sequenced movement, simple breathing techniques, and guided awareness, you'll discover how the breath can release unnecessary tension, improve focus, support posture, and bring greater ease to familiar poses.

The workshop concludes with classical yogic breathing practices and deep relaxation accompanied by the subtle tones of Tibetan singing bowls, allowing body and mind to settle into a state of calm and restoration.
Come experience the power of breath and movement—and discover how one breath can change the way you practice.
Raji's book will be available for purchase at the workshop.

Breathing Life into Your Yoga Poses:
Breath & Movement Explorations with Raji
Sunday, May 31st,
3:30-5:00 pm
$30.

What transforms yoga from exercise into a deeply healing practice? Breath.

The connection between movement and breath is what gives yoga its power to influence the nervous, muscular, skeletal, and digestive systems. When breath and movement work together, poses feel more spacious, supported, energizing, and alive.

Join Raji for an engaging exploration of how conscious breathing can change the way you experience your practice. The workshop begins with an energizing breath-centered warm-up designed to awaken the body and stimulate your whole system. From there, Raji will guide you through flowing postural sequences that reveal how different breathing patterns can affect strength, flexibility, balance, and overall vitality.

The experience concludes with restorative breathing practices and deep relaxation accompanied by the subtle tones of Tibetan singing bowls, allowing the body and mind to fully settle and restore.

Perfect for students who want to:
• Feel less tension and more ease in their poses
• Improve focus and breathing awareness
• Experience breath, movement, and energy
• Leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and renewed

All levels welcome.

What if, for a little while, you could simply float?

Step out of the rush, the noise, the distractions - and onto your mat for a kind of magic carpet ride. A place where effort softens, the mind quiets, and the body begins to let go. Imagine the benefits.

Our yoga classes are designed to meet you where you are. There’s acceptance, release - space to move, breathe, and gently unwind. With each breath, you may find yourself feeling lighter, taller . . . a little more at ease. Give yourself that gift.

This Sunday is the perfect opportunity to experience those gifts:

Cool Yoga Prop Tricks with Raji
Sunday, April 19th
3:30-5:00 PM

Discover how the skillful use of props can transform even the most challenging poses into accessible, supportive, and enjoyable experiences.
In this informative and interactive class, Raji will guide you in using tools like the yoga staff and straps to bring more ease, stability, and confidence into your practice. Whether a pose has felt out of reach or simply uncomfortable, you’ll learn how thoughtful propping can meet your body where it is—allowing you to explore with less strain and more awareness.
We’ll begin with a gentle warm-up to awaken the body, then move through familiar postures with creative prop variations that help you find new pathways into each shape.
The class will close with restorative poses and a deeply relaxing guided rest, accompanied by the subtle tones of Tibetan singing bowls—inviting the body to fully release and reset.
