To foster healing and nurturing mind-body connection, we make sure all classes at Atha are rooted in mindfulness. Cultivating harmony of body, breath, and mind is our why. That is why, in addition to providing an excellent workout, our classes are a recipe for health, wellbeing, and wholeness in every area of life. Why hot? Hot yoga has developed a cult following because it feels so good (especially after!) and delivers fantastic results.

Fact Check: Forward Folds and Your Nervous System

πŸ”¬ New research from 2025: forward folds are more than just a hamstring stretchβ€”they are a powerful tool to relieve stress and anxiety!

✨ Pro Tip: Add a bend to your knees to focus on the calming spinal mechanics, as well as to fire up your digestive system and and promote boost!

πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ The "Rest and Digest" Boost
Forward-bending poses stimulate the craniosacral region of your spine. Clinical trials show this activation significantly increases your Heart Rate Variability (HRV). This is a scientific way of saying you are teaching your body enter the parasympathetic mode (that "rest and digest" state). How cool to have this skill at your disposal!

🌿 Enhancing Your Vagus Nerve
These poses gently stimulate the vagus nerveβ€”your body's main stress-response regulatorβ€”as the nerves along your spine are lengthened. It's like a built-in calming mechanism!

πŸ“‰ Lowering Cortisol
Studies from this year prove that consistent yoga stretching can actually lower your levels of cortisol (the stress hormone). Hello, chill vibes!

So next time you fold forward, know you're giving your nervous system a deep, research-backed reset πŸ’š

Yin on Sunday, Sculpt on Monday. It's called BALANCE :)

Wanna be healthy? Strengthen them muscles! πŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈ

Did you know πŸ€“that skeletal muscle is an endocrine organ? It is our best friend during transitional phases, such as and because its power to control blood sugar levels is unprecedented! πŸ’ͺ

When jumping levels of s*x hormones are wracking havoc on our insulin sensitivity and metabolism - your muscle is the one reducing inflammation in the body and keeping the brain calm.

When you work your muscles, they release hormones and neuromodulators which:

πŸ”₯dissolve brain fog and improve concentration and memory;

πŸ”₯boost metabolism and reduce sugar cravings;

πŸ”₯improve cardiovascular health and promote good night sleep.

⚠️We do this in the heat, relying on mindful alignment-based approach, so the changes stick.

This is the best part: this keeps working for you waaay after you're done with your sculpt class.

🎩 It's kind of magic!
..nah, actually, just science 😜

We'll see you on the mat! 😘

What's the hardest for you in a Yin class - to be still or to refrain from pushing to your max sensation? We want to hear from you! πŸ–‹πŸ‘‡
Stillness and moderation are HARD. We grew up on the premise that more is better (and sometimes it is: drink more water!!! πŸ’¦ 😁) Yet, these two are what makes this practice effective.

We feel stiff not because we are inflexible. We just need to invite water into tissues by creating gentle mechanical stress. This will release the fibers crossover and fascial adhesions. The second pillar is to relax the neurological grip on the fascia - that's where non-striving and less is more mindset is the key. This will relax old contractions, and, eventually, allow us to release old memories that still hold their grip on us, consciously or subconsciously.

Yin Yoga: Monday, Wednesday, Sunday nights.

Yang Yin: Monday and Friday lunch.

Raise your hand for a toasty practice this cold weekend! πŸ”₯😍

We design lots of twists into our sequences this season. Why? πŸ€“

✨ Twisting stimulates intestinal motility, which fires up metabolism, fortifies the immune system, and reignites the Vagus nerve 🧠 promoting relaxation and calming of the nervous system.

✨ Rotation improves vertebral joint mobility, ensuring spinal longevity and healthy, pain-free back.

✨ We pair twists with specific breathwork 🫁 to stimulate respiratory function and improve the work of postural musculature, which multiplies the health benefits listed above. πŸ™ƒ

πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ With our slow, alignment-based approach in the infrared heat πŸ”₯ this is just right for the season! πŸ‘Œ

πŸ“Έ Picture perfect: thank you, Carly Bummel 🀩😘
