Find your inner COMPASS as we explore Satya or Truthfulness at the Studio this week. Over the years learning how to be an adult in this world is hard and a challenge. One thing I find necessary in life is being real. Yoga has helped me peel the different layers of myself so I found my true north. When I follow that path nothing can hold me back. Join me in classes this week to get back on your true path or just for a little practice.
Getting a leg up with the pose of the week has helped me get ready for all of the coming events and opportunities we have at the studio this fall. In the coming weeks, we will be starting Sunshine Kids Yoga for ages 5-12. Mallory has a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the equinox. Also, our showcase rehearsals are in full 'swing'.
The Tribe at Sunshine is excited to announce SUNSHINE KIDS YOGA. Sundays at noon we will offer a special new class for our younger yogis! We have a fabulous new teacher, Kelli Sims, to lead these bright lights in their yoga journey. They will learn emotional and physical balance and strength. Due to this new program, we have had a policy change in our kid's programs. We will no longer allow ages 12 and under to be in any adult class. Each child will need to reserve a spot and passes will be sold in 5 packs. Classes start at the end of September.
Mallory will host an Equinox Yoga, Nidra, and sound bath on Friday the 17th at 7:30 pm. Please reserve your spot to find balance.

This week's Sunshine Pose of the week is COMPASS pose or Parivrtta (revolve) Surya (sun) Yantra (machine or diagram) asana (pose). This post is best when we open your heart and take your dristi (gaze) to the stars. Many make the mistake of rounding in the back and lowering the chest to lift the leg. Try taking a seat and finding a long spine. Root into the sit bones and lift your heart. Bend one knee and press it down into the floor. Take the other arm and hand to lift the free leg. As you lift the foot press through the heal with energy. Use your deep breath to extend to connect to your true north. Show us your variation of Compass pose this week and post on social media, please use the #sunshineposeoftheweek and #sunshinetribe!
Love and Light,
Lynn
