“We meet ourselves time & time again
in a thousand disguises on the path of life.”


Life is a journey of self discovery.
Discovery of our identity which is
not singular but multi-faceted & cyclical.
As we proceed through our lifetime we move
through opportunities to encounter these
“disguises” or aspects of the self
& integrate these different variations of our being.

Join us in community as we
move through our experiences
& journey of self discovery.

New students practice an entire month of unlimited yoga for only $58!

✨ASANA OF THE WEEK✨
PADMASANA/LOTUS LOSE
🪷🪷🪷
This week we are tributing our pose of the week to Dan Meyers, an incredible member of our Vyana community taken too soon. Anybody who frequented our studio was bound to have crossed paths with this incredible man, Dan. He frequented classes here many days a week and was a dedicated yoga practitioner.

He was a humble man of profound words. He is and will continue to be deeply missed. 🤍

Padma = lotus
asana = pose, posture, seat

- Padmasana is a seated posture
- Padmasana is a foundational meditation posture that promotes stillness, grounding, & a deep mind-body connection.

Sit on the floor with legs extended.
2️⃣ Bend your right knee and place your foot on your left thigh (sole facing up).
3️⃣ Bend your left knee and place your foot on your right thigh.
4️⃣ Rest hands on knees in Jnana Mudra - tip of your index finger to the tip of your thumb, creating a gentle circle, keeping other fingers extended and relaxed. Palms face up for a receptivity.
5️⃣ Lengthen your spine, stack shoulder over ribs, ribs over hips, keeping the integrity of your spine & release your shoulders, breathe deeply.

Modifications:
✨ Half Lotus (Ardha Padmasana): Place one foot on the opposite thigh and the other on the floor.
✨ Easy Pose (Sukhasana): Cross your legs comfortably without placing feet on thighs.
✨ Use Props: Sit on a cushion or block to elevate the hips and reduce knee strain

Lotus pose and it’s modifications are simple yet beneficial
-Enhance hip flexibility
-Strengthens the spine & improves posture
-Calms the mind & reduces stress
-Balances energy flow in the body

Jnana mudra is often used in meditation and pranayama to -enhance focus
-balance energy
-cultivate a state of awareness
while regulating prana, calming nervous system & helping to align the mind, body, and breath.

When the index finger & thumb touch, it symbolizes unity & connection between the individual self (index finger) & the universal consciousness (thumb). 🌀

Thank you Dan we miss you.

Here at Vyana Yoga, we are profoundly blessed by the ever growing community of individuals who choose to gather, breathe, and practice together within the studio walls. Each day another chance, where friendship blossoms, hearts open, & the shared energy of peace & acceptance expands beyond the mat.

Together, we cultivate a space where every being is seen, supported, & celebrated. This space is a sanctuary of unity, peace, & connection that continues to ripple through our daily lives long after class ends.

Thank you.
