We are excited to unveil some unique offerings this month that get to the heart of what we aim to do at our studio: blending the ancient practice of yoga with modern concepts of movement  and science to promote mind/body awareness, healing, and ultimately forging a path toward a healthy and fulfilling life. (Wow, was that a mouthful?)
Julie brings her somatic movement expertise to her evening Pop Up, Ginger’s 8 Limb workshop focuses on Asanas, and Naomi offers her wisdom on menopause to a restorative practice. We have special workshops planned over Thanksgiving weekend to help prepare you for the busy Holiday Season. Keep reading to learn more.

Happy May Everyone,

We hope you’re all well in mind, body and spirit, and enjoying the bursting colors of spring. I noticed all the magnificent hues of the rainbow and more in just a short walk along a residential stretch in Magnolia. I recommend this little game of “name the colors” next time you’re out and about on a sunny day!

Caoilfhionn is teaching a special flow class to help inspire your connection to the natural world, and Daniela is bringing her popular meditation and journaling session back to the studio. Sami’s Tween Yoga Series has a new start date, and will begin next Tuesday, and Prenatal Yoga is now a regular Saturday class on the schedule.

PRENATAL YOGA is now a continuing class.

Spring is right around the corner, even though it’s still cold and wet outside. The studio is nice and warm, so if you need a little heat, you know where to go. We’ve got you!

This month, we’re really excited to bring prenatal yoga to our studio. Along with kids yoga, prenatal yoga confers the amazing benefits of yoga to a whole new population of practitioners.

Yuko and Ginger will host a special Yoga Nidra and Sound Bath event to celebrate the Spring Equinox; Happy Hour will take place at the Uptown Espresso; and, the Intro Series is returning in early April.

March 22 (Fri) (SPRING EQUINOX YOGA NIDRA & SOUND BATH with Yuko & Ginger

Feel free to register online through our booking site if you’d like to receive a reminder.

So much can happen in a year!

A year ago today, Ginger and I were putting finishing touches to a website that was soon to go live, and prepping the studio for a (Re-) Opening Party. We weren’t certain how the studio would be received amid COVID uncertainties, which is why we were so excited when we saw many of you return or discover us after our official June 1 opening! On behalf of our team of teachers and healers, THANK YOU for supporting us throughout the past year. Your strong positive energy continues to fuel our mission to bring yoga and healing arts to the community!

SPECIAL SUMMER PACKAGE!

Keep your practice going this summer with a 24-class package, now yours for $288. You can use it for all classes on the regular schedule — including Yoga Nidra and Sound Bath — throughout the summer until Labor Day. The package is available until June 30; the pass itself will expire on Labor Day, used or not. It’s one of the best deals we have at $12 a class.
