Life is A LOT™️ right now, and *gestures around widely* one cannot be expected to silence the mind with any kind of quickness.

Can't relax when you want to?
Normal.

Mind won't shut up, like ever?
Normal.

Lose track of a thought you actually wanted to ponder?
Normal.

Think meditation is impossible?
Totally normal.

Meditation is a path TOWARDS quieting the mind. We practice because it's not an easy thing to do. Handstands require years of training. Strengthening the muscles of your mind is much less visible, but it takes just as much (or more) work.

Give yourself 60 seconds. Let your mind wander, but don't focus on anything. Slow down your exhales. See how you feel, maybe try again.

Baby steps 🙏

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day ✌️🩵

Indigenous Peoples Day!

Sometimes referred to as First Peoples Day or Native American Day, this day is to recognize the history of Indigenous American people and to celebrate Native American culture.

Of special note in 2026 is the fact that “at least 355 Native American and Indigenous candidates ran or are running in local, state and federal primary elections this year.” ( 10/3/26)

And that good news is also cause for celebration!
Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!

Happy World Mental Health Day! Treat your nervous system to a few calming, slow breaths ✌️🩵

"Talk therapy can be helpful in finding problem-solving strategies and understanding your own strengths and what's happening to you, but there are times when you just need to kind of get moving and work through the body,"

Have you drifted away from your yoga practice? Worried that the old classes you used to take aren't right for you anymore? Tuesdays at Fewell Park might be your perfect gateway back to your practice.

We move slowly and intentionally 🐌
We use chairs for both ease and to add difficulty, depending on the pose 🪑
We focus on mobility and strength as well as stretching 💪
We welcome all yogis!

Where? Fewell Park (inside) Near Oakland Baptist
When? Tuesdays @ 10am
How? Show up!
Why? Cause it's good for you 😉
Cost? Drop a cash donation in the little red basket and get some yoga 🧘‍♂️ 🧘‍♀️ (typical donation, $5-$15)

Short on funds? No worries... I want everyone to get the yoga they need. Today you may not have the cash, next time you may have extra to cover someone else 🩷🩷🩷

Hope to see you Tuesday!
