Fall style that moves with you — from studio mornings to downtown afternoons. 🍂

This season’s lineup is all about easy layers, lived-in denim, and soft knits that work just as well with sneakers as they do with boots. Stop by and see what’s new — everything’s better when you can feel the fabric and find your fit in person. ✨

✨ Find your balance before year’s end ✨
As we move toward the close of the year, this is the perfect moment to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.💜 We’re closing out the season with two special opportunities designed to help you rest, reflect, and restore — our small-group Crystal Chakra Balancing + Reiki event in November and Reset & Renew, a candlelit afternoon of guided reflection and gentle renewal in December.

You’ll also find a reminder about our New Client Special, details about Private Yoga Therapy, and a quick Pro Tip on why going barefoot in yoga can strengthen your balance both on and off the mat.👣

🎉 Congratulations, Mariana — 300 Classes! 🎉

What began with a gift card from her sonhas turned into a beautiful, ongoing journey of dedication, laughter, and music. If you’ve ever crossed paths with Mariana, you know her radiant smile and the way she sings her way into class — literally! Her positivity fills the studio just as much as her voice fills a room.

Here’s to 300 classes of strength, growth, and joy — and to many more ahead. 💜

We’re so grateful to have Mariana as part of our Foundations Yoga family.

✨ Small Group Crystal Healing and Reiki Special Event ✨

Join Laurie and Sandy for a deeply grounding afternoon designed to help you slow down, release tension, and feel more centered before the busy season ahead. This small-group experience offers a soothing reset — a chance to unwind, recharge, and leave feeling lighter and more at ease. ✨

We will begin with a short discussion about how crystals work to bring the body’s energy centers into balance. 💎 You will then be guided through a calming chakra meditation, with crystals placed on each of the seven main chakras. Every participant will receive hands-on Reiki to encourage relaxation and restore a sense of harmony throughout the body. 🙌

Limited to 8 participants
Saturday, November 16 at 3 PM

This is our last scheduled energy balancing event of the year.

Blanket folding is serious business... 😅
If you’ve ever taken class with us, you know we have opinions about corners, creases, and symmetry. (Some might say strong ones.)

But here’s the truth — a properly folded blanket isn’t about looks. It’s about support. Blankets are used as tools in yoga. The right fold can make all the difference in comfort, posture, and alignment.

Three stones, three good reasons to stop in. ✨

Our crystal bowls are freshly restocked with new Pyrite, Jade, and Ruby in Zoisite — each piece hand-selected (never ordered online) for its color, clarity, and feel. Whether you’re drawn to the sparkle of Pyrite for abundance, the soothing green of Jadefor luck and growth, or the rich tones of Ruby in Zoisite for renewed vitality, there’s something here waiting for you to discover.

We also carry a beautiful selection of larger rough and polished pieces, plus crystal jewelry and one-of-a-kind finds — all chosen with care for both beauty and energy.

Warrior III isn’t about being parallel to the floor — it’s about balanced effort and engagement.

In the first photo, you’ll see common misalignments:
💥 The hip of the extended leg has lifted, rotating the pelvis open. The chest has dropped, the lifted leg is disengaged, and the spinal muscles aren’t supporting the length of the torso. Together, these shifts collapse the line of energy and make balance more difficult.

In the next two photos, alignment improves not because the leg lifts higher, but because engagement is balanced from end to end.

✨ The back foot is flexed and active, the spine lengthens forward, and the spinal extensors engage to maintain a strong line of energy from heel to fingertips.

You don’t need to be perfectly parallel to the floor to be in Warrior III. What matters most is even engagement — front and back body working together to create a clear pathway of weight that supports balance and strength.

🌞 Don’t rush the Half Lift (Ardha Uttanasana).
It’s more than just a quick inhale between movements — it’s a powerful moment of alignment and strength.

In this clip, Julie breaks down the how and why behind this essential transition in your Sun Salutation.
👉 Push into the mat through all three points of contact on the feet
👉 Engage the quads, draw the thighs back, and engage the abdominals
👉 Lengthen from tailbone to crown
👉 Spread your shoulder blades across your back

By slowing down, you awaken the spinal erectors, build postural awareness, and strengthen your hamstrings and core.

And if the floor feels far away, blocks can help raise the ground to meet you — letting you get the most out of this pose with integrity and ease.
