Our journaling workshop and sun salutation workshop were so much fun! Thank you all for coming out and taking part!

There are plenty more upcoming events you should mark on your calendar, including Mother-ish Yoga and our 4th Annual Pride Yoga! Registration for both is open now!

Heads up, our mindfulness walk for Earth Day is cancelled. In lieu of this, I will be posting a couple fun activities you can do on your own with a friend, or your families to celebrate Mother Nature!

What is vinyasa-style yoga?

Vinyasa is a flowing, continuous type of yoga that usually emphasizes the pairing of breath to movement. It does not follow a specified sequence, so each class can be different. These classes can often be more aerobic because they have more continuous movement, which can improve your cardiovascular heath and muscular stamina, among other health benefits. The pairing of intentional breath to each movement also asks you to become deeply focused and in-tune with your body, acting as a dynamic meditation.

Want to try out one of our vinyasa classes? We have vinyasa classes Mondays 6:15 - 7:15 pm and Thursdays 5:45 - 6:45 pm, plus a gentle vinyasa option on Tuesdays 5 - 6 pm!

See ya there!

It's been a hot minute since I introduced myself, so HELLO!
I'm Rachel! The nuances of how and why I started The Amethyst Yogi are too much of a slow burn for a caption, so for now I'll leave it at this:
I formed this studio to hopefully create a domino effect of mindfulness, support, community, and self-love to create a better world for my daughter.

Here are some other random facts!
- I'm a desert rat in the Midwest and will put a cactus on anything I can, but not a real one becuase I am...not great...at keeping plants alive.
- I got my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics with minors in dance and economics. I love math very much, to the point where my first tattoos were math symbols that I got right after walking at graduation!
- My next tattoo was a half sleeve of cacti and succulents.
- I love art - looking at it and making it!

I would love to see you in the studio and get to know you, too!

Did you know the very first class I taught as The Amethyst Yogi was in Sargent's greenhouse? I didn't have a home studio, so I would finish a shift slinging espresso at Café Aquí and run over to the greenhouse arrive early to the patio and lead a vinyasa class. It always feels very "full circle" when I get to do some studio work while hanging out here.

The sun salutation sequence is so common in vinyasa practices, but do you actually know the names of the postures?
Do you know the common variations A, B and C?
Are you curious why these postures are strung together in this way?
How about some ways to modify the sequences to change it up for different needs?

Honestly, I didn't, until I purposely researched and explored. It can be easy to slip into the mindset of "we do it this way because we just do" and forget the deeper meaning and history.

Let's dive into the sun salutations together and learn some cool stuff!

Tomorrow I am guest teaching at the Olmsted County History Center for their Dancing Through the Decades series!
I'm so excited to share my love of contemporary dance with you! I'll be bringing a blend of lyrical jazz, modern dance, and contemporary ballet to the dance floor as we explore creating stories through movement.
ALL levels of experience with dance are welcome and encouraged (even zero experience!).
Visit the Olmsted History Center's website to buy your ticket!
