Through a variety of yoga styles designed for all levels, we create and hold a space that invites people to connect with one another and an opportunity to be their authentic self.

We offer the Great Yoga Wall, Ashtanga Yoga, Flow Yoga, Yin/Yang Yoga, Hot Yoga, Yoga Barre, Rollax, Warm Hips and Hamstrings, Warm Yin/Restorative, Yin Restorative with Nidra. All of which use a combination of movement and posture synchronized with the breath. Strength, flexibility, stamina and complete relaxation are developed along with balance and concentration. We believe in fostering the practice not only within the physical body but the heart, soul and mind as well. There are many free 2 hours spots available on side streets and we have $2 parking inside the indoor car lot located on 18th avenue on the side of the studio.

Have you ever mistaken what was said for what was meant?

We spend a lot of time in our heads. Replaying conversations. Rehearsing replies. Imagining outcomes. A word is spoken, and the mind fills in the blanks. We assign meaning. But was it real or just familiar?

𝐒𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 / 𝐒𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝟏.𝟗
𝒔́𝒂𝒃𝒅𝒂-𝒋𝒏̃𝒂̄𝒏𝒂-𝒂𝒏𝒖𝒑𝒂̄𝒕𝒊̄ 𝒗𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒖-𝒔́𝒖̄𝒏𝒚𝒐 𝒗𝒊𝒌𝒂𝒍𝒑𝒂𝒉̣
Imagination is a mental activity based in language without a corresponding reality.

We read between the lines.
We interpret a short message as dismissive.
We assume someone meant more than what was actually said.
The words are real. The meaning we assign might not be.

This sutra invites us to notice how quickly the mind turns words into stories. We imagine what someone else was thinking. We attach meaning to a phrase that was never intended. Language becomes a springboard for projection.

Let the sutra meet you where you are and maybe ask 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝑰 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒍𝒚 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒅 𝒊𝒕?

The days are getting darker. December is almost here, and even though the world says it’s the season for sparkle and cheer, your experience might be saying something very different.

Maybe it is merry for you.
Maybe it feels like a big bah-humbug.
Maybe it’s both in the same day.

Whatever it is, you’re not wrong for feeling it.

There’s space for the dark and the light. There’s room for the heaviness, the quiet, the softness, the little sparks that still show up, and the simple relief of letting yourself feel exactly how you feel.

You don’t have to force it.
You don’t have to fix it.
You don’t have to match anyone else’s pace.

Let the dark be dark. Let the light be light. Let this season meet you where you are.

Is it real or just familiar?

Sometimes we see what we expect, not what is. The mind fills in the gaps, draws from memory, and makes meaning fast.
We don’t even notice when we’ve slipped into assumption.

𝐒𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 / 𝐒𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝟏.𝟖
𝑣𝑖𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑦𝑎𝑦𝑜 𝑚𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑦𝑎̄𝑗𝑛̃𝑎̄𝑛𝑎𝑚 𝑎𝑡𝑎𝑑𝑟𝑢̄𝑝𝑎 𝑝𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑠̣𝑡̣ℎ𝑎𝑚
Misconception is false knowledge formed by perceiving something incorrectly.

We mistake the rope for a snake.
We hear a word and take it personally.
We watch someone’s expression and assume their thoughts.
The moment becomes distorted, but we believe it anyway.

Misconception isn’t always dramatic.
Sometimes it’s the tiniest turn of the mind
That takes us away from what’s actually happening.

This sutra invites us to notice
Where story has taken the place of truth
And where we might be ready to see again.

Let the sutra meet you where you are and maybe ask what have you mistaken lately and are you willing to look again?

When do you actually like yourself?
Some of the time?
Never?
Only when things go perfectly in your already predetermined idea of how you’re meant to look or sound?

Or can you say always?

Because honestly, how often are we putting ourselves in the outhouse without even noticing? The tone we never use on a friend becomes the tone we use on ourselves. And then we wonder why we feel so small, so insignificant.

Think of what happens when someone demeans you or mocks you. Notice how that lands in the body, how it chips away, how it changes how you see yourself. So why do we think doing that to ourselves is any different?

Liking yourself always doesn’t mean loving every choice or pretending that we don’t, at times, mess up. In fact, life is a colorful, messy art project.

Showing up for yourself and not abandoning yourself in the moment you need support the most is part of what it takes to like yourself.

Maybe today is a good day to practice answering always, even if it feels awkward, even if it feels new.

Remember, you can still wish you handled something differently and still stand with yourself. You can still say I didn’t love that and still stay kind.

Maybe that’s the whole practice.
Standing with yourself and remembering you’re someone worth liking.

Throwback to July 🔥
It wasn’t just hot outside, it was hot in the studio too.

Meno, Jackie, and Angie earned that glow after Angie’s fiery hot Santosha flow.

Three amazing teachers/practitioners sharing sweat, smiles, and the post-practice bliss we all know and love.

Grateful for these incredible humans and the energy they bring to our Santosha community.

Grounded in truth or stretching into story?

The mind can quickly build a narrative that is completely false.

There is a tendency for the mind to fill in the gaps, project meaning, and turn moments into stories, even when they are not based in truth.

𝐒𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 / 𝐒𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝟏.𝟕:
𝑝𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑦𝑎𝑘𝑠̣𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑎̄𝑛𝑎 𝑎̄𝑔𝑎𝑚𝑎̄ℎ̣ 𝑝𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑎̄𝑛̣𝑎̄𝑛𝑖
Right knowledge arises through three means: direct perception, inference, and reliable testimony.

𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 is what we witness or experience firsthand.

You feel snow land on your skin. No guesswork, just lived experience.

𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 is the conclusion we draw through logic or observation.

You see wet grass and pavement with grey skies and conclude it must have rained or snowed.

𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐲 comes from trusted sources such as wise teachers, sacred texts, or guidance passed down with integrity.

You may not know every yoga posture by heart, but when a skilled teacher explains it with clarity and lineage, you trust the teaching.

What if you paused to ask, is it true?
And noticed the moments when the mind clouds perception, when stories take over before truth has even had a chance to land.

𝐿𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑢𝑡𝑟𝑎 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑟𝑒,
and notice what aspect of right knowledge might become your best compass to practice.

Kirstin’s heart share is our newest blog ♥️
This is how it begins:

‘Friends. You are welcome here and you belong here.

If you don’t always feel like you belong, yet a tiny part of you remains open to the idea that it may not be the whole truth – these words might change your life.

And although this is hardly the whole story for me, it’s as good a place as any to begin.

I remember distinctly the moment these words landed, unexpectedly, channeled by a wise and beautiful stranger who’d I’d later call one of my great teachers as I settled into her class. And I broke. I couldn’t have anticipated the degree to which I would be impacted by such simple language. But the potency of her words penetrated me, and my cracks began to show. The foundation I had built and lived upon had started to shift and as it did, I too, began to come apart.

A series of less than gentle awakenings delivered me to the truth of my reality: that the world in which I felt alone, unwelcome and an outsider to – had been in large part my own creation.’ ~

Read the full piece through the link in our bio.

If you haven’t met Kirstin or practiced with her yet – she is an exceptional human. Heart-led. Powerful. Courageous. Devoted to the practice and devoted to life. She listens, really listens. She keeps learning, keeps exploring, and she shares from a place that is honest and brave. She is willing to swim into the depths.

We are incredibly lucky that she joined Yoga Santosha after completing her teacher training with us in 2023, and is now one of our beloved teachers.

Thank you, Kirstin, for sharing your heart, you and for reminding us that we all belong.

Come meet Kirstin on your mat:

Thursdays 9:30 a.m. Core Flow (Mission)
Fridays 6:00 p.m. Rhythm + Flow (Mission)
Saturdays 12:00 p.m. Vinyasa Flow (Kensington)
