The thing everyone asks me about 💭

➡️ One of the things people ask about most at Maha is shoulder mobility — and for good reason. 😅 It’s the exact thing your body is craving if you sit at a desk all day with rounded shoulders, or if you’re a longtime yogi who has noticed nagging hyper mobility-related injuries creeping in.

When we spend hours forward-folded over laptops and phones, the rotational capacity of the shoulders is often the first thing to go. And here’s the catch: when you lose rotation, it affects everything else — shoulder flexion, extension, even the way you breathe and stabilize. 😳

Your body is an efficiency machine, so if you stop using a range of motion, it assumes you don’t need it and shuts it down, doubling down on the patterns you use most. The good news? You can teach your nervous system, through consistent practice, that you do want to move in these ranges again. 🙂‍↔️

That’s where Maha Mobility comes in. It’s our strength-and-mobility track — the veggies of your movement practice — built on Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) to support resilient joints and long-term musculoskeletal health.

Flexibility lets you passively access a shape; mobility gives you the strength and control to actively own it. That difference matters, especially for yoga practitioners who explore big ranges of motion in asana but don’t always have the integrated strength to support those shapes.

If you’ve been wondering whether this is for you… it probably is! ✨ Shoulders are on the schedule for the entire month of December in Maha Mobility - come join us!

Give the gift of yoga this season (& save big)! 🎁

This time of year can be busy for many of us, and it’s easy for our practice to slip in the rush of the season.

Yoga reminds us that when our rhythms are disrupted, our bodies, minds, and hearts feel it—our mood, digestion, sleep, and overall balance can shift quickly. Staying connected to even small, meaningful habits can make a big difference. Take a yoga class. Go for a walk. Give yourself a minute to breathe. 😌

And if holiday shopping is adding to the stress of the season, consider giving the gift of yoga. 🎉

This month only, buy a $125 gift card for $108. Gift cards can be used for private instruction, group classes, branded products, yoga mats, and bags.

I am wishing you steadiness and ease this season.

Practicing yoga regularly can make a BIG difference 💫

Studies have shown us that - when practiced regularly - yoga decreases stress, builds bone density, helps with sleep, benefits heart health, and improves strength, flexibility and balance (source: Johns Hopkins Medicine).

Wow! Sign me up, am I right? ✨
 I love that science is catching up to prove what you and I both know on a personal, anecdotal level: a regular yoga practice is a major upgrade in life!
 A class here or there won't make the impact you're looking for. It's regular yoga, consistent over time, that is the true game changer (think: 2-3 classes per week on average).
 And one of the best ways to stay regular with your yoga practice is our 6 month unlimited pass. 🙌🏼
 For the next 6 months, you can be sure you'll stay consistent with your practice and lock in all those physical benefits, with the best price we offer on this pass. ‼️
 Passes are on sale only through this Sunday. Grab yours today! ⬆️

No time for membership? 🤔 Try this instead ⬇️

A Maha member recently told me this story: she was having a stressful evening at home with her kids and her patience was waning with the homework struggle.
 She snapped at the daughter, and the ten-year-old replied with, ‘maybe you should go to yoga, Mom.’

Yoga is not a selfish practice. ✨
 It’s a choice for you, yes! And it impacts your loved ones, your community, and the wider world. When you can show up grounded and fully-resourced for your busy life, everyone benefits.⁠
⁠
The truth is that you know that when you feel better, you show up better. But it can be hard to make it to class, and you just can't make a membership work.
 That’s why, this Small Business Saturday, we are selling a special, off-menu 5 pack of group classes. 🎉 You have a full six months to use them, so there is truly no pressure. It's just a flexible pass to make it easy for you to take that class and down-regulate your nervous system.
 Trust us, your kids, partner, boss and clients will thank you later.⁠ 🥳
 P.S. This makes a great gift!

No matching yoga sets needed 🤗

You don’t have to wait until January to start yoga 💭

Sometimes we hold subconscious beliefs about when is the best time to start a new practice.

Thoughts like…
* In January...
* After I finish this big work project...
* When things finally slow down...

But the truth is, there’s never a perfect time—just the moment you decide to start showing up for yourself. ☺️ And as the holidays approach, that moment could be now.

You don’t have to wait until January to start yoga—begin now and move through the holidays feeling calmer, more grounded, and less stressed. Doubling down on your self care this season is the best gift you can give yourself.

✨ Join us for the Maha Yoga Open House — Saturday, October 25th!  Enjoy great yoga, good company, drinks and snacks, specials, and giveaways.

We’re offering two classes at a special $10 drop-in rate for new clients, or you can use your membership to join in and bring a friend!

This is the perfect place to start - make time for you, before the holiday rush begins. 💫
