Planning to practice? Save your spot by preregistering in FitDegree 🤍

We totally get that practice schedules, especially in the summer can be a little more on the fly, but if you know you’re planning to come to class, we encourage you to pre-register whenever you can.

Signing up ahead of time helps teachers:

✨ Prepare the space and gather any props you’ll need
✨ Know who to expect and plan for the class
✨ Make sure there’s a spot waiting for you
✨ And help keep classes on the schedule!

As a friendly reminder, when registration is low, classes may be canceled 2 hours before the scheduled start time.

Know you’re coming? Sign up ahead of time and we’ll be sure to see you there!

Wishing you a wonderful last few weeks of Summer 🌻

Join us for our August Reading Circle, a free evening to gather in community and explore ideas that support your practice and your life.

This month, we're reading The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Michael A. Singer.

Together, we'll explore the nature of the inner voice, what keeps us caught in habitual patterns, and how cultivating awareness can help us meet life with greater clarity and freedom.

Whether you've read every page or are simply curious about the conversation, you're welcome.

🗓 August 30

🕔 5:00–6:00 pm

💫 Free to attend

Bring your book if you have it!

What people really need these days... each other. A space to connect, bounce ideas, talk about everything and nothing, brainstorm, reflect, laugh, cry, have deep conversations.

A yoga teacher training is soo much more than learning to teach. It’s a space for connection.
It’s a way to hold up a mirror to understand yourself more deeply and make real soul connections to others on the path.

Join this September’s cohort and be a part of a Sangha (the Sanskrit word for people on the spiritual path together) You’ll be by eachothers sides for 6 months - uplifting and being held by eachother.

With the personal support and mentorship from 4 experienced teachers and fellow practitioners also on the path.

Let’s co-create this container for learning and growth and the love of yoga.

We kick off in September and are beginning to finalize this year’s cohort. If you’re looking for your Sangha or have been considering YTT, we’d love to hear from you.

💙 The heart of teacher training 💙

When we first started writing this post, it was answering the question what makes RSYI teacher training unique... as we wrote, we realized we we're just making a list of program features - it evolved into a list of guiding principles that shape how we teach.

The values that are infused into these 4 teachers and the way they choose to share yoga. Not just what you'll learn if you join us, but how you'll learn it - with curiosity, intention, community, and respect for both tradition and inquiry.

If we stand on anything its intention. When it comes to learning, teaching, studying, practicing and being. Because how you chose to be matters. In many ways, making the choice of how to be IS yoga. (See Bhagavad Gita - Chapter 2, Verse 50).

Considering joining us this fall? Applications are open. Scholarships are available! Early bird tuition is available until Aug 1.

👀Spotted: Traveling summer yogis of MA!! When Metrowest Yoga Metrowest Yoga , Dennisport Yoga Dennis Port Yoga and R&S Yoga teachers come together in class = ✨✨✨

🌞This morning Doreen Doreen Mooza DeFazio and Kelly Kelly Carbone Mahoney met for a practice at Dennisport Yoga on Cape Cod. Joanna Joanna Benevides lead them through a beautiful Vinyasa flow. With teachers from MetroWest Yoga also in attendance Steph Crocetti Mirvat Robinson :) !! 🥰

💕Doreen considers Dennisport Yoga her “home away from home” and her friends at Metrowest extended family. Worlds colliding!

💫There’s something special that happens when these types of connections come together mat to mat in practice.

🥰We hope as you travel this summer, wherever your mat lands, may you find new communities and connections.

🙏One meaning of Yoga is union, a coming together. Many of us at R&S love being traveling yogis and are grateful for all the teachers that support our practices no matter where we are.

OM SHANTI 🤍🙏

What stays with you after a 200-hour yoga teacher training? 🙋

Maybe its the anatomy, alignment or how to sequence a yoga class...

💓 What we often hear is graduates talk about seeing themselves differently. Feeling more grounded and connected. Building deep friendships. Finding confidence in their own voice. Broadening their perspective. Deepening their relationship with practice-- with themselves, with others and with life.

🥰 These are a few reflections from 2026 graduates. Their experiences are all unique, but they share a common thread: yoga became something they embodied, not just something they learned. And this embodiment impacted their lives in a real way.

🤔 If you're curious about where a deeper study of yoga could lead, applications for our 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training starting this September are open.

🤍 Early Bird tuition is available through August 1.

💛 Want to learn more about the experience, meet the faculty and ask your questions? Join the next info session on July 21st at 7 pm, in-person and online.
