It has been a wet summer so far for sure and luckily, we've had a warm and comforting space for you all to retreat to when the skies are grey. It's been awesome to see all of your smiling faces arriving at the studio throughout the week - excited and eager to begin your practice and to experience the benefits & joy of yoga. Day after day, we get to watch the gifts and transformations inherent in the practice of yoga continually blossoming in our community.

In this special practice, we use special yogic techniques to dive deep into your subconscious and plant a seed (your Sankalpa) for a new direction to take place in your life. Your Sankalpa is a connection to and reminder to live in accordance with one's true purpose & path. This practice is an opportunity to release old belief systems and to begin to create new patterns of thought and habit.

2-for-1 Drop-in Special continues
Our "2-for-1 Drop-in Summer Special" runs all the way to September 1. In alignment with our values of Affordability, Accessibility, and Approachability, our drop-in pass price of $16 is already the lowest in the city. With a 2-for-1 Drop-in pass, that price drops down to $8 a class. Amazing!
Yoga in the Park
As we continue to soak up the sun and mild temperatures, we're embracing every opportunity we can to spend more time outside. Which is why we're happy to be offering Yoga in the Park on a regular basis (weather dependent) throughout the summer! Experiencing the focus & energy of yoga, while soaking up the sun and taking in the sights and sounds of nature around you, are such a special experience that we love to share with you! Each week, a couple of our regular classes are held in a near-by park when weather allows, or held in the studio if the weather is not on our side. Check out the
main page of our website each Wednesday afternoon and Sunday afternoon to find out where class will be held. Read on for details...
Join us for Yoga in the Park on
Wednesday evenings at 6:00pm for PowerAlign and on

Intro to Yoga
Our regular Intro to Yoga classes will resume in September, and run on the first & last Saturdays of each month. This class is BY DONATION and is a great place for new students, or anyone who wants a thorough refresher in the foundations of staying safe and getting the most out of your yoga practice. Classes are taught by different teachers each week, allowing students to have a different experience each class. Registration is available online for free, and cash donations are accepted in person at the studio on the day of class. 100% of donations from these classes go to a local organization in need, so you can Pay-What-You-Can, and we can Pay It Forward to spread the kindness and good karma, and help others in our community. If there's a local organization you know of that could use some support, please let us know, and we'd be happy to dedicate the donations from a class to their cause.
Fall Schedule begins again on September 2!
