Resurrection Time

"As the very source of creation is within you, all solutions are within you too."

Sadhguru

The flowers are popping, the butterflies are fluttering about, and everything is green again outside. Every time we come to our mats, we go through the death and rebirth process, returning to “beginner’s mind” and ending with savasana. And just like Nature, our bodies are given an opportunity each Spring to shed some layers of stagnation and experience a liberation of energy from deep inside.

So, in this season of rebirth and resurrection, “how are you being asked to be rise up into a higher version of yourself?” What are you being asked to release from the past to liberate your present? And perhaps, what aspect of your Self or your life are you being asked to resurrect?

We have many opportunities this month to support your resurrection on the micro and the macro level. Let’s take these intentions onto the mat together and deepen our resolve as a community to be born again to the possibility of new life.

New Class

Somna Yin

Tuesdays in Auburn, Wednesdays in Roseville, 7PM

Ground. Breathe. Reset. SOMNA Yin is your invitation to exhale.

This 90-minute weekly class is designed to gently shift your body out of fight-or-flight and into deep, nourishing rest. Bobby blends the stillness of yin yoga, the support of restorative shapes, and the healing rhythm of breath to guide you into full-body calm.

Each class begins with grounding breathwork, then moves through a slow progression of long-held, floor-based postures. Between shapes, you’ll be invited into breath awareness or pranayama to further settle the nervous system—and we close with an extended savasana or restorative hold that allows the rest to truly land.

Expect soothing guidance, poetic imagery, and a deeply immersive experience that meets you right where you are. SOMNA Yin isn’t just relaxing—it’s regulating. It's healing. It's a quiet return to yourself.

Perfect for anyone seeking stress relief, nervous system support, or a moment of stillness in a noisy world. Come as you are. Leave feeling grounded, lighter, and profoundly restored.

Member Spotlight

We want to take a moment to appreciate YOU, our wonderful community, by highlighting certain members who are the very fabric of the magic that is East Wind. This month, we have our amazing EW member and Channels of Healing 200hr Yoga Teacher Training Graduate, as well as Yin, Nidra and Restorative Yoga Teaching Graduate, Tom Engle!

From Tom: "Hello there my name is Tom Engel, I started my journey at East Wind Yoga as a New Years Resolution, in 2011. Embarrassed after my first class, I gave up, thinking it was more of a woman’s work out.

I was approached in the summer of 2011 by an EWY instructor with an invite to free yoga in the park. That’s where my journey started to really take off.

The instructor encouraged me to start going back to East Wind, so I stayed doing a couple days a week, which turned into everyday.

I really started to notice a difference in my breath, mindset, strength & confidence. That is why I always make the time for myself to get to East Wind Yoga - my “Rejuvenation Station”.

East Wind Yoga has the best empowering instructors around and the community is just as supportive.

Andrea has done amazing things since she took over ownership offering so much more than just Yoga.

I have been to some different studios but nothing like East Wind & The Community behind it! I will always be an East Wind Yogi!!

Thank You Andrea & Melissa"

Every month, we’ll be highlighting a member of our yoga family and their personal journey. If you’d like to be featured, or nominate a member of our community, email eastwindyoga@gmail.com to share your story.
