🍂 HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO MY BEAUTIFUL YOGA COMMUNITY! 🍂

My heart is full. And YOU are a big part of why. ❤️

As I look through photos, I see so much more than people practicing yoga.

I see a community.
I see friendships.
I see courage, laughter, vulnerability and connection.
I see people showing up for themselves, and in doing so, showing up for one another.

I see a room full of individuals, each walking their own path, yet coming together to breathe, move, grow and simply BE.

And I am reminded of just how grateful I am to be part of it all.

For every mat rolled out.
Every deep breath shared.
Every conversation before or after class.
Every laugh, every tear, every breakthrough.
Every message afterwards of how the practice did something wonderful and transformational for you.
Every person who has walked through those doors and trusted me to be your guide and the teacher that is part of your journey inward.

Thank you. 🙏

You may come to yoga for flexibility, strength, balance or peace of mind. But somewhere along the way, something beautiful happens.

We find connection.
We find belonging.
We find a little more of ourselves.
We find more than we ever imagined.

And perhaps that’s the greatest gift of this practice.

After all these years of teaching, I can tell you that the greatest part of what I do has never been the postures or teaching the perfect class plan.

It’s the people. It’s YOU.

This Thanksgiving, I hope you take a moment to recognize all that you are, all that you’ve overcome, and all the beautiful things that already exist within your life.

May you find gratitude not only for what you have, but for who you are becoming.

Thank you for allowing me to do what I love, and for making this community something so incredibly special. Thankyou for trusting me to lead you inwardly, to the pockets of peace & stillness. Thank you for showing up, even when life is hard. Thank you for allowing me to challenge you-in ways that allow you to grow stronger both on and off the mat. Thank you for INSPIRING me each and everyday to not only to be the person and space that is your safe place to land, but to also continue my own personal growth and healing.

Teaching you, supports ME. Like a boomerang…what you give out, comes right back. 🫶

Thankful.
Grateful.
Blessed.
Beyond Measure. 🙏

Namaste my beloved yoga community and love to all today, tomorrow and everyday after.

With Grace,
Lisa Arnold

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. 🧡

Yesterday during my walk I sat here for a little while and was reminded…

The Elements teach us everything. And Yoga is EVERYWHERE. It’s in the moments that you pause, become aware and feel perfectly present.

Water: When the surface is calm we can see more clearly, reflecting what is above. When it is restless, the reflection becomes distorted.

This distortion in Yoga is called Avidya.

Our minds are much the same as a body of water. When its calm..you see EVERYTHING CLEARLY. Just like in this picture I took.

“As above, so below”

Imagine looking into water when the surface is disturbed. The trees haven’t changed—but their reflection becomes distorted.

We might believe the distorted image is reality.

Avidya is the distortion.

Yoga doesn’t necessarily need to change what is reflected. The practice helps settle the water so that we can see what was already there more clearly.

We often identify ourselves with things that are constantly changing:

“I am my body.”
“I am my thoughts.”
“I am my accomplishments.”
“I am what happened to me.”
“I am what other people think of me.”
“I am successful only when…”

Yoga asks us to investigate those statements rather than automatically believe them.

Patanjali describes Avidya as mistaking the impermanent for permanent, the impure for pure, suffering for happiness, and the non-Self for the Self. (Yoga Sutra 2.5.)

That last piece is particularly important.

Yoga philosophy says there is something deeper than all of our changing thoughts, emotions, roles and experiences-the seer or witnessing awareness (Purusha/Drashta).

So rather than:

“I am anxious.”

the practice gradually creates enough space to recognize:

“Anxiety is present-and I am aware of it.”

Rather than:

“I am a failure.”

we might recognize:

“I am having the thought that I failed.”

That’s a very different relationship with our experience.

Yoga was never meant to be only about the shapes we make with our bodies. Most believe it is, then eventually with enough practice realize differently.
Its a guide to a way of LIVING mindfully.

With complete AWARENESS.

Itis a practice of turning inward. Of becoming quiet enough to notice what is beneath the noise, the habits, the reactions, the stories and the constant movement of everyday life.

The ancient teachings of yoga invite us to be inquisitive each day, all the time and ask:

What is moving within me?
What am I holding onto?
What patterns keep repeating?
What is asking to be released?
And who am I beneath all of it?

This is Svadhyaya-self-study.
This is Pratyahara-turning the senses inward.
This is the work of noticing our Samskaras-the patterns and impressions we carry.
And it is learning to recognize the Gunas-the changing energies that influence how we think, feel and move through our lives.

Nature understands this rhythm.

Autumn doesn’t fight to hold onto what has finished.
It releases.
It quiets.
It prepares to turn inward.

Perhaps we can, too.

Interested in learning the TRUE path of Yoga?

Join us here, this Autumn, the perfect time to draw within…

🍂 THE JOURNEY INWARD
A Full-Day Exploration of Yoga Beyond the Poses

A day to explore the deeper philosophy of yoga through discussion, movement, breath, meditation, reflection and self-inquiry.

We will journey through the Eight Limbs of Yoga, Yamas & Niyamas, Koshas, Kleshas, Samskaras and the Three Gunas-not simply as ancient concepts, but as teachings we can actually recognize and live in our everyday lives.

Sunday, October 18 | 9:30–4:30
Lunch included | $140

Register through the link provided here or etransfer [email protected].

Come curious.
Come exactly as you are.
Enjoy community. Self Study. Quiet moments and wisdom that will come from removing Avidya.

The journey isn’t about becoming someone new.

Perhaps it’s about becoming still enough to recognize who has been there all along. 🍂

THE JOURNEY INWARD
An Autumn Immersion into Yoga Philosophy, Self-Discovery & Conscious Living

As the seasons change, we are invited to turn inward.

Autumn is a season of transition.

Nature begins to slow down, the trees release what they no longer need, and the world around us reminds us that there is beauty in letting go, creating space and embracing change.

But how often do we offer ourselves that same opportunity?

This fall, I invite you to join me for a beautiful day of self-discovery as we journey inward through the ancient wisdom of yoga philosophy and explore how yoga's ethical teachings can guide us toward living with greater awareness, compassion and intention.

Together, we will revisit the Eight-Limbed Path of Yoga, with a deeper look at the Yamas and Niyamas-yoga's ethical principles for how we relate to ourselves, to others and to the world around us.

How do we practice kindness toward ourselves when life feels overwhelming?

How do we release attachments, recognize old patterns, find contentment in the present moment and create space for meaningful change?

Through the Five Koshas, Five Kleshas and Samskaras, we will explore the many layers of who we are, the habits and beliefs we carry, and the ways we can begin to move through life with greater understanding.

We will then introduce the Three Gunas-Sattva, Rajas and Tamas, exploring the ever-changing qualities of nature and how they influence our energy, thoughts, actions and inner world.

Just as autumn teaches us that change is a natural part of life, these teachings invite us to recognize our own seasons of activity, stillness, growth and release.

A Day to Pause, Reflect & Reconnect

Throughout our day, we will weave together:

*Yoga philosophy and meaningful conversation
*Mindful journaling and guided self-inquiry
*Gentle, intentional yoga and breathwork
*Meditation and Yoga Nidra
*Reflection on what we are ready to release and what we wish to nurture in the season ahead.

This day is about more than learning philosophy. It's about discovering how we can take these teachings off our mats and into our relationships, our choices, our daily routines and the way we care for ourselves.

Whether you attended our previous philosophy series or are completely new to these teachings, you are warmly welcome.

Come as you are. Bring your curiosity, an open heart and a willingness to explore. No experience necessary.

Perhaps this autumn, the most meaningful journey isn't about becoming someone new, but about creating the space to come home to yourself.

Happy Autumn 🍂 Equinox!!! The season of cozy n crockpots is baaack and Im in my element!!!

As my dear friend Sara and I say “Happy New Year” 🍁 We say this as Autumn always brings new beginnings, resetting the nervous system, rescheduling our calendars/lifestyles and purging those closests/drawers/minds of the old while finding creativity in the NEW. And it ALWAYS feels more like a new year in energy, regardless of the what the man made calendar tells us. Im a firm believer that a January restart is filled with pressure, it’s difficult for most as truly winter is meant for slowing down and hibernating NOT go go go, force, force, force.

Fall…It’s like the last little turn in the road before shifting into the season of winter and the final transition of the year.

Its a fresh opportunity to take some inventory of whats left to tackle & complete before you hunker down to the quieter months of the year.

Instead of being “sad” summer is over, what can you rejoice with that was GOOD and lovely about it? Hanging onto seasons is like hanging onto your tensions and tightness in the body, and nobody wants that! 😘 We MUST learn to let go, whether its a season, a chapter, a relationship, a habit, a person, a thought or feeling.

Freedom comes with learning that everything ebbs and flows, that there is a birth and a death in ALL THINGS within the container of LIFE.

You know the saying…”The trees are about to show us how beautiful it can be to let things go.” 🍂

Be WITH the rhythms, tides, cycles, phases instead of against. Let nature guide your way of being. The more connected we are to Mother Earth, the softer your heart becomes and the stronger your spirit will grow.

One breath, one day, one season at a time my friends.

Be here now.

And come join us TONIGHT in celebrating the old, new and beautiful life we are so blessed to be creatures in. Come find a little balance noticing both light and dark and the equally balanced day of length between the two.

We gather in sacred circle this evening at The Loft at 6:30pm for a couple hours to release, renew, refresh and rebirth.
Bring a journal and pen if
you wish, dress cozy & comfortable, bring a water to hydrate, a mat to lay your worries down and an open heart to beat to the drum of chants, mantras and music of the soul.

Message me to hold your space xo
