There are still a couple of spots open for SVYS 200-Hour YTT led by Sarah Weyenberg!! Starts April 17. If you’re curious about YTT for your personal practice or possibly teaching, read on why an in person is incredibly important, especially for your first certification!! 💜🌟💜🌟💜🌟

While the convenience of an online or hybrid 200hour Yoga Teacher Training program is tempting, there is a special magic in an in person program like Shine Vinyasa Yoga School that online or hybrid programs just can’t capture.

Here is why the SVYS In-Person 200-Hour YTT is the gold standard for your transformation:

1. The Power of “Touch” (Literally!)
Yoga is physical. With SVYS you don’t just watch a demo; you feel it and we practice it together. SVYS provides real-time, hands-on adjustments to your alignment, teaching you the subtle art of “assist” that is impossible to master through a zoom.

2. Energy You Can’t Download
There is a collective vibration that happens when a group breathes, moves, and chants together. In-person training builds a soul-level community. These aren’t just classmates; they are your future support system, your practice partners, and your lifelong friends!

3. “Real World” Teaching Confidence
Throughout your SVYS 200hr YTT, you’ll get immediate feedback on your voice, your presence, and your cues, building the confidence you need to walk into any studio and get hired. It should be noted some studios prefer and will only hire instructors who have completed in person 200hour training.

4. Total Immersion (No Distractions!)
Let’s be honest: at home, the laundry is calling and there is always something to distract you. With a structured learning environment, you leave the “busy-ness” behind. This sacred time is entirely for your growth, learning, and practice. Investing in and dedicating to that growth and learning increases retention, accountability and allows you to connect to and immerse yourself in the process, thus getting the most out of your investment.

5. Direct Mentorship
With SVYS, you have direct, face to face access to your lead instructor for the entirety of the 200 hour program. This deep personal connection is where the most profound learning happens.

There are times for convenience and short cuts, sure, but 200 hour YTT is not one of those times! There are just a couple spots available in Shine Vinyasa Yoga School’s 2026 200hr YTT program. Are you ready?!

🌕April’s Full Moon Energy
As the moon reaches its brightest point, we’re invited into a season of renewal. A moment to release what weighs us down and return to what feels true and aligned.
Just as nature shifts into growth, we’re reminded to do the same — to shed, to soften, and to step forward with intention.
✨ Breathe deeply.
✨ Let go gently.
✨ Move toward what’s calling you.

Hello April, 🌷

Spring is officially in the air—and with it comes a fresh sense of energy, renewal, and possibility here at The Yoga Loft. As the days grow longer and the light returns, we’re excited to welcome you into a new season of movement, connection, and community.

Our updated Spring schedule is now live, thoughtfully curated to support you wherever you are. Whether you’re craving grounding, strength, rest, or simply a familiar place to land. This season is an invitation to come back to your mat, reconnect with your breath, and gather with a community that truly feels like home.

There’s something special about practicing together in the studio—the shared energy, the quiet moments, the laughter before and after class. We’d love for you to join us, move with us, and be part of this season of growth.

🌷 And stay tuned—Spring Open House details are coming soon! We can’t wait to open the doors, welcome you in, and celebrate the season together.

Take a look at the new schedule, find a class that calls to you, and come practice with us.

Thank you for being part of this beautiful community. We can’t wait to see you in the studio this April.

With warmth and gratitude,
Donna & The Yoga Loft Team 🌷

✨ A moment to turn inward
At The Yoga Loft, we believe what happens on the mat is so much more than movement. It’s breath, awareness, and the quiet shift that begins within.

“Yoga is not a workout, it is a work-in. And this is the part of the spiritual practice; to make us teachable; to open up our hearts and focus our awareness so that we can know what we already know and be who we already are. -Rolf Gates”

Every class is an invitation to reconnect with yourself, soften the edges, and create space for whatever you need today.

🧘‍♀️ Come breathe, move, and work in with us.

✨A 200‑hour journey—rooted in community, not pressure✨

Hi friends!
What if your yoga practice became more than a class you take—what if it became a place you belong?

This April 17, Shine Vinyasa Yoga School, led by , begins a 200‑hour Yoga Teacher Training hosted at The Yoga Loft—but we want to be clear about something:

This isn’t about turning you into a “teacher” overnight.
It’s about giving you a safe, meaningful, deeply supportive container to:

✨deepen your practice (movement, breath, and presence)
✨learn the “why” behind what you’re doing (alignment, philosophy, & intention)
✨grow in confidence and self-trust
✨find community that feels real, grounded, and lasting

And yes—many people do discover they want to share what they’ve learned. If that happens, you’ll be supported.

But the heart of this program is simpler (and bigger): your relationship with yoga, and the personal growth and community you find through it.

✨ Bonus: Enroll and receive 3 months FREE unlimited yoga (April–June)—so you can stay connected, keep practicing, and feel held by the studio community as the training begins.

If you’ve been craving consistency, depth, and a community that feels like a steady exhale… this is your invitation.

✨ Connect with Sarah today to learn more and begin the application process.
We would be honored to welcome you into this circle.

With so much heart,
Donna & Sarah
The Yoga Loft & Shine Vinyasa Yoga School Teams

P.S. If you’re not sure whether you “should” do a training, that’s often the perfect place to start. This is about practice and personal growth first.

Spring Equinox + Astrological New Year

Welcoming the Light ☀️

Today we meet the Spring Equinox—one of the rare moments in the year when light and dark stand in perfect balance. It’s a reminder that equilibrium isn’t something we “achieve” once, but something we return to again and again, breath by breath.

This Equinox also ushers in the astrological new year, a fresh cycle of energy, intention, and possibility. As the sun moves into Aries, we’re invited to awaken, to begin again, and to step forward with courage and clarity.

May this season bring you renewal, softness, and the spark to grow in the direction your heart is calling.
We can’t wait to move through this season with you.

✨ Mantra of the Day ✨
I am patient, knowing that whatever is of the highest good is already on its way to me.

On the mat, patience becomes a practice.
In each breath, each posture, each moment of stillness, we learn to trust the timing of our own unfolding. Yoga reminds us that nothing needs to be rushed—your strength, your clarity, your peace… it all arrives exactly when you’re ready to receive it.

If you’re craving a space to ground, breathe, and reconnect with that inner knowing, hop on your mat and join us at The Yoga Loft this weekend. Your highest good is already moving toward you—come meet it halfway. 💫

🧘‍♀️ Weekend Classes:
Saturday 8:00 am Vinyasa
Sunday 8:00 am Hot Power + Mobility
