Yoga studios are sacred spaces where we come to relax, unwind, and connect with our bodies and minds. Proper yoga studio etiquette is essential to ensure a peaceful and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Here are some tips to keep in mind:
Arrive on time: It's important to arrive on time to avoid disrupting the class. If you're running late, wait until the opening meditation is over before entering the studio.
Respect the space: Yoga studios are peaceful places, so please keep your voice down and refrain from using your phone. Also, remove your shoes before entering the studio and make sure to place them neatly in the designated area.
Communicate with the teacher: If you have any injuries or health concerns, make sure to let the teacher know before the class begins. They will be able to provide modifications or adjustments to ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable practice.
Be mindful of personal hygiene: Yoga involves a lot of stretching and movement, so it's important to come to class clean and fresh. Also, avoid wearing strong perfumes or colognes that may bother others.
Clean up after yourself: After class, make sure to wipe down your mat with the provided cleaning supplies and put away any props or blankets that you used. By following these simple guidelines, you can help create a peaceful and respectful environment in the yoga studio, allowing everyone to enjoy the many benefits of this ancient practice.

🧘‍♀️ Join Samantha on Sunday October 18th at 1pm for a Pelvic Floor Workshop! 🧘‍♀️

As you move throughout the day, do you have discomfort in your back, hip, or groin? Do you find yourself constantly searching for a restroom or fear you may not make it in time? All of these concerns can link back to your pelvic floor. Historically, pelvises and the pelvic floor are an overlooked area of the human body, yet the pelvis provides the foundation for a body’s movement and stability. If you are experiencing the symptoms listed above or are curious about how your pelvis supports you and your body, this workshop is for you.

This event offers a safe space to learn about your pelvis and explore your connection with your pelvic floor. It will provide a general, accessible, and introductory approach to pelvic floor anatomy and pelvic floor conditions. It will also show students how to foster a deeper connection with their pelvis by exploring breathing techniques and therapeutic yoga poses that will support their pelvic floor.

For yoga students who are curious about their pelvic floor and for students who may be experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction. This event is meant to provide general knowledge regarding the pelvic floor and general yoga poses that provide support for pelvic muscles. It is not meant to diagnose or replace medical advice or support. While this workshop will focus on pelvises with a uterus, all students are welcome to attend.

✨ BLISS ✨

Yoga Sutra 4.30
Tataḥ kleśa karma nivr̥ttiḥ
Thereafter, all suffering and karma ceases.

Last month, we looked at a state of samadhi Patanjali called dharmameghah or “showering of righteousness” in Yoga Sutra 4.29.

This post we’ll look at Sutras 4.30 and 4.31, since they are quite compact and flow into one another nicely. Yoga Sutra 4.30 explains after one achieves dharmameghah samadhi, all suffering and karma ceases. Makunda Stiles calls it a “cessation of obstacles and karmic patterns.” (54)

✨DHARANA✨ ~ the collection and concentration of the mind ~

The sixth limb of Raja Yoga is Dharana. Explore an oldie but goodie on the blog about how to meditate and increase that concentration and mindfulness. We can begin to scratch the surface of this meditation practice in our yoga classes...but there is so much more to it.
