An ad in Yoga Journal (1985) for the Iyengar Yoga Institute in California asked:
“What’s thousands of years old and being born every day? If you are a student of yoga, you know that is an easy riddle to solve. Yoga is among the most ancient of sciences, yet there’s more being learned about it daily and it’s never been more relevant that it is in 1985.
We’re passing on the chain of yoga.”

Nearly 40 years later… is yoga even more relevant, or less? What’s evolved for the better? What have we lost that’s worth reclaiming?

💀When the veil feels thin… what does yoga say about the in-between? 👻

In 19th-century occult circles — especially around Madame Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society — people were asking the same thing: Where do we go? Can we meet the ones who’ve gone? Their answer was sober and luminous: we keep moving. Consciousness travels through subtler layers — astral, blissful post-mortem states— not gone, just elsewhere. Remembering the dead, then, is not holding them here; it is honouring their journey.

Yoga echoes this. The texts imagine a conscious exit: prāṇa withdrawing, awareness steady, the practitioner learning to shed layers while remaining awake. Halloween can be read in that key — a gentle rehearsal for impermanence.

✨Tonight, light a candle 🕯️
• name someone who walked before you
• offer breath or mantra for their way ahead
• wish them onward, not downward✨

This is remembrance without clinging — deeply yogic, quietly occult, perfect for the season of thin veils. 🖤🎃

What if the most advanced pose in yoga is the one where you lie down?

Judith Hanson Lasater said on Let’s Talk Yoga
“A 20-minute Savasana is a gift you give yourself and the world at the same time, because after you’ve done that there is more space for compassion — both for yourself and everything else around you.”

Savasana isn’t a timeout; it’s integration.
It’s where the practice soaks in, where the breath teaches the body that safety is possible, and the nervous system learns a different rhythm. Allowing silence and stillness isn’t passive—it’s profound. As Judith continues:
“We are closest to our higher self, our true nature, when we are still… mentally still.”

To lie down and stay is a discipline.
To notice, soften, and not rush to the next thing is how practice becomes transformation.

For teachers: How long do you allow for Savasana at the end of your classes?
For students: How long do you gift yourself before you get up and go?

🕊️ World Mental Health Day 🕊️

According to Swami Sivananda in “Mind, its Mysteries & Control,” and based on the teachings of Yoga Philosophy, the mind is the bridge between matter and spirit — between who we think we are and who we truly are.

When we learn to steady and purify the mind, we move from restlessness to peace, from confusion to clarity.
True strength, Sivananda says, isn’t in controlling the world — it’s in mastering our own thoughts and emotions.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s remember: caring for the mind is a spiritual practice. Every moment of calm, compassion, or mindfulness is a step towards freedom. 🌿🧘‍♀️

✨ We’re so excited to begin our teacher selection! ✨

It hasn’t been easy — we’ve had so many wonderful teachers reach out to us already, and we feel truly grateful for the warmth and interest in joining our new space. 💛 Please don’t worry if you haven’t heard from us yet — we’re working through all applications and will be in touch soon.

One little note: we haven’t yet heard from any Pilates teachers (or Hot Pilates!). Perhaps our focus has shone more strongly on yoga so far, but we really want Pilates to be part of our schedule too.

So if you are (or know) a brilliant Pilates teacher, please tag them below or share this post 🙏 We’d love to connect and find the best candidates to grow with us.

Thank you so much for all the love and support — we can’t wait to share more with you soon! 🌞 Thanks to AI for the images too… 😆🙈🙊🙉😬

This is just a story—but it raised a bigger question for us:
“I recently went to a yoga class where the teacher played R&B and pop music—songs I’d usually enjoy at home. But during the practice, especially in savasana, it felt out of place. I couldn’t switch off. I kept judging the music, noticing how loud it was, and feeling more agitated than relaxed. The sequence itself was lovely, but I left frustrated because my mind had been so unsettled.”

It made us reflect:
What role does music play in modern yoga practice?
Can it help us soften, focus, and draw inward—or does it sometimes add to the noise we’re trying to move away from?
Could music support relaxation and presence—or does silence hold more power in certain moments?

🎵 What kind of music, if any, helps you connect more deeply in your practice?
We’d love to hear your thoughts—please share in the comments below! 👇🏾
