I’m reading a novel right now that many people would probably call a guilty pleasure.

In the story, there’s a character who becomes so attached to her ideas of right and wrong that she loses access to her own heart. She loses access to reality.

Moments arise when she wants to soften, to love., to connect.

Yet she can’t.

As I listened, I found myself reflecting on a teaching from the Bhagavad Gītā.

Attachment isn’t limited to pleasure, possessions, or relationships. We can become just as attached to our opinions, our identities, our wounds, and our certainty that we are right.

And sometimes that attachment costs us far more than we realize.

I invite you to sit with this reflection:

✨ Where in my life am I holding so tightly to being right that I am no longer available to what is actually here for me?

Something special is taking flight this summer.

Over the course of five weeks, our young aerialists will learn, create, rehearse, and grow together as they work toward our All-American Summer Showcase Performance on July 21.

Students will build confidence in the air while refining aerial skills, learning choreography, expressing their creativity, and discovering what it means to be part of a performance team.

This isn't just about learning tricks.

⭐It's about courage.
⭐It's about teamwork.
⭐It's about celebrating progress.
⭐It's about watching kids realize they can do hard things.

Each student will have the opportunity to perform solo & with the group as well as share a favorite skill, pose, or creative expression of their own during our end-of-series showcase for family & friends.

⭐ Ages 6+
⭐ June 23–July 21
⭐ All-American Theme
⭐ Showcase Performance: July 21

Whether your child is brand new to aerial arts or already loves being in the silks, this series offers a supportive space to learn, grow, and shine.

Space is limited to ensure individualized instruction and rehearsal time.

✨ A beautiful week to practice, connect, and celebrate community at Downtown Yoga & Healing Arts.

🎶 This week's featured event: GIRISH — Wednesday, June 17

We're honored to welcome back internationally loved musician, author, and former monk Girish back to DTY for an evening of breath, mantra, music, and connection.

🌿 4:30 PM | Bhakti + Breath: Breath of Life
Together we'll explore Girish's transformative Breath of Life practice, inspired by ancient monastery traditions of Tibet. Through conscious breathwork, mantra, vocal yoga, live music, and sacred sound, you'll be guided into a state of greater vitality, clarity, and inner calm.

The experience concludes with a deeply restorative mantra-infused savasana, accompanied by Girish's live music and soothing Sanskrit lullabies.

No experience with yoga, breathwork, chanting, or meditation is necessary.

🎵 6:30 PM | Live Music & Yoga
Continue the journey with an all-levels yoga practice led by Ānandi Andrea Shorey and accompanied by Girish's live music, rhythm, mantra, and chant.

This is not simply a yoga class.

It is an immersive experience where movement and music become one practice.

Expect soulful movement, community connection, healing vibration, and a deeply nourishing savasana that leaves you feeling grounded, open, and renewed.

✨ Single Event: $45
✨ Full Experience Pass: $75 (Save $15)

Whether you attend one offering or stay for the full evening, we hope you'll join us.

In a world that constantly asks us to do more, this evening asks only that you receive.

And if live music and breathwork aren't your thing, you'll still find plenty of opportunities this week to move, strengthen, stretch, restore, and belong.

💛 Movement.
💛 Connection.
💛 Community.

We can't wait to practice with you.

A room full of little humans, parents, movement, laughter, imagination, and community. One moment we were joining Squirrel Nutkin on a yoga adventure, and the next the grown-ups were getting a chance to move, breathe, and reconnect, too.

One of my favorite moments from the morning was watching tiny hands reach for grown-up hands. 🤍

We are so grateful to partner with The Village and support spaces where families can gather, play, move, and belong together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first Family Yoga Adventure. We can’t wait to do it again!

📅 Join us for our next Yoga at The Village:
• July 1
• August 5

Connection & Community. That’s what it’s all about.

One of the things I love most about Downtown Yoga & Healing Arts is that it gives us opportunities to support and celebrate the people who make our community so special.

This week, Caroline from Creative Works stopped by to install a fresh collection of artwork from YES Art Maine artists that will be displayed throughout the studio this month.

These artists remind us that creativity belongs to everyone. Through programs like YES Art Maine, individuals with disabilities are given opportunities to express themselves, share their gifts, and contribute their unique voices through art.

As you visit the studio this month, I hope you’ll take a few moments to explore the artwork, read the artist stories, and appreciate the incredible talent behind each piece.

Thank you to Caroline, Creative Works, and the YES Art Maine artists for helping us fill our space with creativity, connection, and belonging. 🤍

P.S. We believe yoga studios can be more than places to practice—they can be places that help build stronger communities. If that resonates with you, we’d love your support in Down East Best of Maine voting. 🤍 link in bio

🤍 Connection & Community 🤍

One of the things we believe most deeply at Downtown Yoga & Healing Arts is that wellness doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in CommUNITY. It happens when people gather, support one another, and create spaces where everyone feels like they belong.

That’s why we are so excited to partner with The Village.

The Village has created something truly special in our community — a place where children can play, families can connect, and parents can find support and friendship along the journey of raising little humans.

Today at 10:00 AM, we’re honored to bring Family-Friendly Yoga to their space for the very first time.

Whether your child wants to wiggle, stretch, balance, laugh, or simply spend time moving with you, this class is all about connection, play, and sharing the joy of yoga together.

We are grateful for opportunities like this that remind us that community is strongest when we come together and support one another.

Thank you to The Village for welcoming us into your beautiful space. We can’t wait to see where this partnership grows.

See you at 10:00 AM. 🤍

Tomorrow | Sivananda Classic 90

There is something powerful about gathering before the busyness of the week begins.

For 90 minutes, we step away from the noise and return to what matters: breath, movement, stillness, and community.

Tomorrow we begin exploring June’s virtue: Magnanimity—often described as greatness of heart. The ability to respond with generosity, understanding, and openness even when life invites us to become small.

Not as philosophy.

As practice.

Join me Sunday from 9:00–10:30 AM for Sivananda Classic as we continue our journey through Swami Sivananda’s teachings on cultivating virtue in daily life.

No need to have attended previous months. Simply come as you are.

🤍 Connection & Community.
