✨ “Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” — Dalai Lama

Kindness doesn’t need a special moment — it can be woven into every breath, every smile, every interaction. 💛 A simple act of care can shift the energy of a whole day.

Today, let’s choose kindness. 🌿

🌿 Meet the Teacher: Verena 🌿

Known for her grounding presence and creative classes, Verena weaves together the best of many worlds — the meditative flow of Qigong, the deep calm of sound baths, and the empowering challenge of strengthening yoga with weights.

Her classes are a beautiful balance of stillness and strength — where mindful movement meets soulful sound. 💫

When you step into her class, expect to feel centered, connected, and uplifted — body, mind, and spirit.

Verena's next sound bath and meditation is coming up on Nov 2nd! The mid-point between the Fall Equinox & Winter Solstice 💜
She'll also have a Winter Solstice Sound Bath on Sunday Dec 21

✨Verena first came to yoga because of a healing journey. It was calling me.

🧘My favorite pose is all of them because they all benefit us.

🎶A song I love to flow to is "wombsong."

☕Coffee or tea? I'm team matcha latte with oat milk ;)

📚A book that inspires me Tao Te Ching Zen Sutras.

💫 Off the mat, you'll probably find me in the woods.

💖In my classes, I hope students feel joy & light, relaxation & peace, and strength & power.

💖 Come experience the harmony she creates on the mat.✨

As we move into the season of longer nights and deeper reflection, join us for a powerful sound bath at The Heart Center in Chagrin Falls. Guided by the gifted Verena Long, this special evening honors Samhain, the halfway point between the fall equinox and winter solstice, when the veil between worlds is thin and the call to turn inward is strong.

Through the healing vibrations of quartz crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, bells, and more, you’ll be guided into deep states of relaxation, connection, and inner growth.

Bring a yoga mat and blanket (or borrow one here), settle in, and allow yourself to be transported.

✨ Space is limited—reserve your spot today.

✨ “Be curious, not judgmental.” — Walt Whitman

When we meet ourselves and others with curiosity instead of judgment, doors open. 🌿 We learn, we grow, and we connect more deeply.

What’s one place in your life you can bring more curiosity today? 💫

🍂 Just as nature flows from one season to the next, our inner world also shifts and transforms. Yoga invites us to soften, to accept, and to trust the beauty in each stage of our journey. 🌿✨

Come breathe, move, and honor the season you’re in—on and off the mat. 💫
