Please welcome April Fox to Yoga Refuge!

We're happy to announce will be teaching Vinyasa at our SE studio starting this Friday!

Join April for
Vinyasa Flow Fridays 4:30-5:30pm

Mover, shaker, and avid pursuer of joy and community.
April has been teaching yoga since 2014 when she landed in Portland from her home town of Detroit, MI. With a background in professional concert dance, April has a deep passion for exploring movement and its connection to mindfulness and expression. April came to the yoga mat in 2010 seeking compassionate care for her worn body and mind (spoiler alert, she found it). She has also spent time teaching and studying in Melbourne, Australia and continues to dance and create.

April comes to the classroom with the intention of creating space to explore that potential through inquisitive practices with somatic influences. “We cannot teach people anything; we can only teach them to discover it within themselves” is a quote from Gallileo that informs and inspires her commitment to helping students find their individual truth and awareness. You can expect a great playlist from this music lover, a few jokes about butts and armpits, and some experimentation in practice so that any body at any experience level can find a joyful, personalized practice.

Yoga Nidra for the New Moon
Friday, November 21st, 4:30-5:30pm with Danielle

Join us for a rejuvenating session of Yoga Nidra on the new moon. Translated as "yogic sleep," this practice invites you to gather in our studio for a deeply restorative and transformative experience that combines elements of meditation, relaxation, and conscious awareness.

Yoga Nidra is a meditation practiced lying down comfortably, while being guided into a state between sleep and wakefulness. As your brainwaves shift, your body experiences deep relaxation while your mind remains subtly aware. Within this liminal space, you have the opportunity to work closely with an intention, also called Sankalpa.

The benefits of Yoga Nidra are many, including quieting the mind, decreasing anxiety and stress, expanding awareness, and cultivating witness consciousness. It offers a chance to rest, reset, and explore your inner landscape from a place of non-dual awareness. This practice can provide a sanctuary of deep rest and stillness, allowing you tap into your innate wisdom, release tension, and experience profound states of relaxation.

Syncing up Yoga Nidra with the New Moon is ideal for turning your awareness inward and planting seeds of intention. It can be an opportunity to release old patterns, invite positive changes, and manifest desires. The moon provides both a sense of structure and a cosmic reminder to check in with yourself.

Our time together may also include a few journal prompts, so please bring your journal and pen if you'd like. Tea and yoga props will be provided; come dressed in comfortable attire and bring a yoga mat if you have one.

We look forward to sharing this transformative practice with you.

Memberships and class cards apply!
