repetition strengthens our neural pathways, slowly turning actions into automatic habits. every time we repeat a movement or a thought these pathways grow stronger.⁠
⁠
on the other hand, new experiences build ~ new ~ pathways. stepping out of our comfort zone, discovering something foreign, this is what allows the brain to grow. ⁠
⁠
yoga is one of the few habits that does both. regular practice builds new neural connections and changes our physical brain structure all while strengthening our existing pathways used for emotional control, body awareness, and focus. ⁠
⁠
each pose, each breath, and each moment where you hold still, push further or soften is building on the last. ⁠
⁠
the repetition is not repetition at all, it's a new opportunity for your mind-body connection to soar.

last weekend we closed our doors for a couple days to give the space its annual deep clean, paint touch ups and upgrades. ⁠
⁠
while we have big dreams to continue improving our spaces, for now we hope you can appreciate the simplicity of the sparkle on the freshly polished floors, the freshness of a bright coat of paint and the soft textile additions that will warm up the cooler months ahead.⁠
⁠
as always, thank you for your trust and going with the flow.

designed with a relaxed pace to invite observation of the mental emotional body-our sound classes support passive postures that are explored for up to 5 minutes allowing the body to open slowly and the mind to calm. ⁠
⁠
this way of practicing puts gentle pressure on the connective tissue and the more subtle energetic system allowing for greater flexibility and energy flow.⁠
⁠
find 60 minutes of soothing sound on our schedule each week.

⁠
all are welcome here, as we practice what it looks like for a studio to meet you where you're at.

our practice nourishes us from the moment we walk through the doors until the moment we leave. ⁠
⁠
but what about after that? as we go about our days or begin to close our eyes before sleep. ⁠
⁠
our retail space is designed for those in-between moments. candles with calming scents, deodorants with none of the bad stuff, and amethyst gua sha's for instant relaxation. ⁠
⁠
these shelves have been carefully curated and tested by yours truly. linger after your next class if there's any part of you that wants to turn your everyday routines into sacred rituals.

from a-ha moments to quiet understandings - our workshops approach learning through hands-on demonstrations, knowledge sharing and putting concepts into practice. ⁠
⁠
from Emily's Mobility Training in June we welcomed new and familiar faces to dive deeper into the world of mobility and how it impacts our bodies beyond each class. ⁠
⁠
as we look ahead, towards more workshops, retreats and the consistency of weekly classes, it's always a joy to watch our students continue to learn, ask questions and grow.
