🌺 Loving-kindness is not something we force to have—it’s what naturally arises when we remember that every person we meet carries the same tender hopes and fears we do.

It’s the gentle wish that others might be happy, might be safe, might be at peace—not because they’ve earned it or deserve it by some measure, but simply because they are alive, just as we are, doing their best to navigate this beautiful and also difficult world.

When we practice loving-kindness, we’re not pretending everything is perfect or ignoring real harm. We’re simply choosing to meet each moment, each person, with as much warmth and care as we can offer—knowing that kindness doesn’t diminish us, it expands us.

May loving-kindness flow freely from your heart today—to those who are easy to love, and to those who challenge you, to strangers whose paths briefly cross yours, and most tenderly, to yourself.

May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.

In the practice of yoga, we often refer to what we CREATE on our yoga mats - such as space, peace, joy, and connection within our hearts and minds, not to mention beautiful physical shapes with our bodies! We recently started thinking…what if we took our creating through yoga to a new, more tangible level? With that, Embodied Art came into being!

Join us on Saturday, January 31st from 2-4pm for a new collaborative workshop during which we’ll CREATE ART inspired by, or rather the inspiration for, our YOGA practice!! We will embark on a yoga journey led by Caia with special focus on a selected pose, during which we will meditate upon what the pose signifies to each of us personally and how we translate it into our lives. Then, our friend, member, and uber-talented artist Krista Weller will guide us through creating our own individual wood panel collages depicting the pose and what it represents to each of us. Ultimately, we will each create and take home a visual representation of a yoga pose, what it means to each of us, how we might embody this pose when we are not on our yoga mats, but in our everyday lives.

Can’t draw? No problem! We will be using pre-cut images of yoga poses and related symbolic elements. Don’t know where to start? Don’t worry, Krista will bring all the materials we need (though we encourage you to bring your own if you like!), and help you find your way!

For this session, our embodied pose will be Warrior II. Just think, what does Warrior II bring up for you?

✍️ Some people may ask: “How can I stay peaceful when difficult situations arise?”. We must begin by understanding: we are where we are. Situations happen—often without warning, often beyond our control. We cannot always prevent or change them.

But here is what we can control: the way we respond.

When difficulty arrives, our minds rush forward—overthinking, catastrophizing, creating stories about how terrible things are. We make situations heavier by adding layers of worry and fear on top of what is already challenging.

But if we pause, if we become mindful of our breath in that moment, if we notice our thoughts without getting swept away—something shifts. The situation doesn’t disappear, but we stop making it worse. We create space for clarity, and in that clarity, we can see what we should actually do to help the situation, instead of just worrying and feeling defeated.

In that mindful pause, we might also remember something we’ve forgotten: right now, countless conditions are still nourishing our life. We are alive. We can breathe. We can eat. We can walk. These are profound gifts, genuine happiness—but we rarely see them because our minds are too busy racing toward worry, too consumed by what’s wrong to notice what remains right.

This is what mindfulness offers in difficult moments: not power to control what happens, but wisdom to see clearly what helpful action we can take, to breathe consciously, to remember that even in difficulty, we are still held by life, still capable of responding wisely instead of simply reacting.

The situation is what it is. But we can change how we meet it—with presence instead of panic, with clarity instead of confusion, with wise action instead of helpless worry.

Peace in difficult times doesn’t mean nothing bothers us. It means we stop making everything worse by losing ourselves in our thoughts. It means we stay grounded enough to see what we can actually do, then do it with a calm heart.

May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.

It’s the first Monday of 2026, when New Year’s resolutions go from words to action, and we want all of our new yogi friends to know that we can’t wait to welcome you into our studio community!! Prepare yourself for “aggressive friendliness,” as we like to say and chuckle - we’ve all been the new kid, so we go out of our way to make others feel seen and at ease! We have no beginner or advanced classes, which means all of our classes are accessible to all yogis. You may practice next to a seasoned yogi turning themselves into a pretzel, but guess what, they had a first class too! Take it as it comes, listen to your body, and enjoy the flow!! Happy New Year, friends & yogis!!!
