“We shake with joy, we shake with grief.
What a time they have, these two
housed as they are in the same body.”
-Mary Oliver

Now, more than ever, we are being asked to hold complexity ~ to balance sthira (steadfast effort) and sukha (ease).

Being gentle with ourselves and carving out time to tend to our bodies, minds, and spirits is essential as we move towards co-creating a more loving and just world.

🌀 How do you plan to tend to yourself this week?

In a time that feels fraught with urgency, nature’s inherent wisdom reminds us of the importance of rest; of taking time to turn inward + pause.

Two opportunities to start your new year with an intentional, connective, guided practice:

♥️ Breathe In, Breathe Out with Cary
Jan 1, 10am

This is a level two align and flow style class. A dynamic, fluid physical posture practice with tender attention to detail, and the subtle play of iteration. We’ll have a well rounded practice, including pranayama and meditation. Let’s be together in practice as we walk into 2026.

♥️ Illuminating Intentions with Margaret
Jan 1, 4pm

A sweet, slow, and devotional New Year practice. Gather in community with the warming energy of movement and light. Celebrate the start of a new year with a candlelit devotional yoga practice including gentle movement, mantra, and restorative postures. Each in-person attendee will receive a hand-poured beeswax candle made by mags, included with your registration.

Can’t make it to these? Join us for a regular class this week - yoga is such a wonderful container for moving with purpose and intention. We can’t wait to practice with you!
