That feeling you have when the local high school walks out and marches right in front of the yoga studio to protest...
This morning during my yoga class, the local high school walked down the street to protest 🧊 . I could hear from the door the chants, the honks, the voices of our young neighbors. Familiar sounds of protest.
I opened the door to the studio and said to my class- these are kids protesting.
We were in the middle of a balance sequence, standing on one foot on a block. In the middle of class- everyone cheered for these brave folks expressing themselves. They cheered back.
I spent the rest of class trying not to cry. I felt pride for the high school students marching. Joy and comfort for the yoga community I am a part of. Anger and deep sadness that this needs to happen at all.
It was a reminder that there are so, so many good people.

Another turn around the sun.
This year brought epic challenges and joy, true heart work and inner peace, deep grief and gratitude.
I'm grateful for all of it.
This is 48.

The last class of the lower body series we are focusing on the quadriceps. This dynamic flow will build awareness, add challenge and deepen your understanding of the powerful group of muscles along the front of the thighs.
Each flow builds onto the last, layering in concepts and complexity.
Stay to watch me fall out of the downdog variation in the last video 😂 We're here to practice, not to perfect.
**Over the past year, I've been teaching in a series format. That means we use several weeks to break down a larger concept rather than changing class ideas every week. The classes change weekly, but they link to one another in a progressive learning program. It's made it possible to explore everything with more detail and attention.
Every time I double down on something I think is too "basic", or "easy" or "boring", folks remind me how impactful teaching like this is. It affirms I'm doing the work that feels truly authentic and exciting to me.
I look forward to more deep diving in 2026!

On Tuesday nights, I take a yoga class at my local studio. It's nice for me to be a student in community at a place I teach weekly, and to be guided by a fellow teacher.
It's a time I put on my calendar and look forward to even though I head to this class after a full day of teaching. For the past few weeks, as I leave my final class of the day, I haven't wanted to go. What I want is to go home. So instead of going to the yoga studio, I've done just that.
I know it's the right call for me to go home and do yoga, but I still hear the nagging voice that says I should go to the studio. I should take a challenging class. it should be a certain style, or length.
That voice quieted this week as I realized a few things:
It's almost winter. In the Pacific Northwest, we actually call it "The Big Dark". When I leave my last class of the day, 5pm feels like hours later than it actually is. It is harder for me to feel motivated when it's dark outside which means I am even more of a homebody in the winter.
This year has been a season of expansion, growth, and refinement for Sugarcane Yoga. I am honored to do the work I do and feel it is the work I am truly meant to do. And, I'm tired. Like, really tired. I am looking forward to a couple weeks off at the end of this month.
Lastly, in January of this year, my dad died. It was a long, slow, painful decline. While his death wasn't a surprise, nothing prepares you for the gravity of the loss. I started the year in grief. As we approach the holiday season, and in January the first anniversary of his passing, I'm ending the year grieving as well.
So when I got home last night, I said my hellos to my partner and dog, then spent some time on my mat alone like I've been doing the past few Tuesdays.
I'm listening to what I need in this season. And what I need is introspection, privacy, tenderness, and let my intuition guide me. My personal yoga practice is mine alone right now.
I'm honoring the season I'm in- actually, energetically, emotionally. And so should you.

Myofascial Release is an effective self massage technique that uses tools to target the fascia or connective tissues in the body.
When done properly, it can soften areas of stress and tension, increase range of motion, improve circulation, and encourage a calm state in your physical body and mind.
In this 90 minute workshop, Meagan Lass will guide you through a self Myofascial Release practice for the nervous system.
In this workshop you will learn techniques that will help you:
-Down regulate your nervous system from "fight or flight" to "rest and digest"
- Reduce Stress
- Increase proprioception (body awareness)
- Relieve pain and muscle tension
- Increase relaxation response
- Learn to use MFR for a mindful, meditative state
If you are seeking tools to manage stress, increase body awareness and relaxation techniques- this workshop is for you.

Firmly rooted in my perimenopause power era.
Teaching yoga with temporary sunglasses on after an emergency eye appointment (I'm ok!)
Towel around my neck because apparently I run now at the gym for extra cardio. In addition to strength training, yoga, meditation, walking, MFR, eating well, sleeping enough, going to therapy, not drinking, not smoking, limiting caffeine, sugar, spice, carbonation, fats, yada yada yada.
Sweaty from exercise. It's a little dark in here.
But I'm always a little sweaty these days (is it hot in here or just me?) and I definitely don't have limited vision.
Grateful every day for the tools I have and share to keep feeling rooted and resilient through all of life's ups and downs.

Sugarcane Yoga. Grow & nurture your mind/body connection.
Meagan Lass, founder of Sugarcane Yoga, began her journey into yoga in an unexpected and life changing way. Years of a working as a chef in the restaurant industry had created chronic stress and back problems. She had been suffering from constant pain for months when she walked in the door of her first Vinyasa yoga class. She knew immediately she had found something integral to her healing.
Through a regular yoga and meditation practice, Meagan found increased flexibility and strength, and reduced physical pain, stress, and anxiety. Practicing yoga allowed her the space for real growth and personal development; she started yoga to find relief from physical symptoms, but found so much more in her deeper mind-body integration. She also found within her a strength she didn’t know she had; inspired to support others in their journey to wellness she left her career in the restaurant industry and founded Sugarcane Yoga. Meagan remains steadfastly committed to her own continual growth and sees herself as forever a student. She completed her 200 hour Vinyasa training with Sendatsu Evolution and their 50 hour Next Level training. She has since taken subsequent trainings in Yin through Soma Om, Advanced Yoga Therapeutics with Amy Ipolliti, and Yoga for Injuries with Jason Crandall.
Her down to earth, knowledgeable, approachable demeanor makes her accessible to students of all backgrounds, ages, and experiences. Her classes invite a sense of challenge, movement, meditation, and deep relaxation. She uses her unique skillset to design intelligent sequences that blend styles into customized yoga classes to help her clients heal, grow, and explore their own connection to their body mind. She teach private individual and group classes, corporate classes, and special events and workshops in the greater Seattle area.
