✨ Yoga Sutras 2.10-2.16 ✨
Patañjali teaches that the forces that create our stress, confusion, and old habits can be undone. When we sit in stillness and practice meditation, the patterns that once controlled us begin to lose their power.

As long as these old roots remain, our actions keep creating more joy or more struggle. This is part of being human. But yoga reminds us of something hopeful:
The suffering we haven’t yet met can be prevented.

By turning inward, we gently reverse the pull of old conditioning. Breath by breath, we return to clarity instead of being pushed around by our habits.

On the mat, we learn to recognize what no longer serves us—and release it.
Each practice is a small step toward more freedom, more peace, more truth.

🕉️ Join us and come home to yourself.

✨ Stop Performing. Start Practicing. ✨

If the goal is applause, the heart will always tremble.
If the goal is growth, the soul will always bloom.

Yoga is not a performance.
It’s not “look what I can do.”
It’s “look what I’ve discovered within.”

No one can see your transformation until you feel it.
When your devotion turns inward,
when you begin to care about the sacred process itself,
something profound unfolds—
you no longer seek to be seen.

Your body is not an exhibition.
It is a vessel for awareness.
Practice for truth, not for applause.

Real progress is quiet.
It happens when the phone is off,
when the mirror no longer defines you,
when the breath becomes your only teacher.

💫This is where Yoga truly begins—
not in performance,
but in presence.

🕉 Join us on the mat.
Come practice, not to perfect—
but to remember who you are.
✨ All levels welcome. All hearts welcome.

In Loving Memory of Our Teacher, Sharath Jois

Today marks one year since the sudden and unexpected passing of our beloved teacher, Sharath Jois. He was scheduled to come to San Antonio just three days after his departure from this world — a visit our community had looked forward to with so much anticipation and gratitude.

Though he is no longer with us in body, his presence continues to be deeply felt in our practice, in every breath, every movement, and every moment of stillness on the mat. We are profoundly honored to have been part of his journey and forever grateful to be his students.

Sharathji’s teachings continue to guide us, reminding us that the best way to honor a teacher is through consistent, sincere practice. As we remember him today, we dedicate our practice to his memory and to the light he shared so generously with the world.

May we continue his legacy with humility, devotion, and love.
Om Shanti.

✨ Vacation vs. Retreat ✨

A vacation is time away from routine — a break to rest, explore, and enjoy new surroundings.
A retreat goes deeper. It’s a conscious pause to reconnect with yourself — to move, breathe, and reflect with intention.

While a vacation refreshes the body, a retreat nourishes the whole being.
It’s an opportunity to listen inward, release old patterns, and return home with a clearer mind and an open heart.

Our last retreat in Vermont was truly magical — filled with laughter, stillness, deep practice, and heartfelt connection. The transformation we witnessed, both individually and as a community, was a reminder of how powerful it is to step away and turn inward together.

Join us this January in Isla Mujeres, Mexico for a week of yoga, ocean air, and renewal.
Each day will include grounding Ashtanga practice, gentle meditation, time to rest, and space to simply be.

🌴 Yoga Retreat – Isla Mujeres, Mexico
🗓️ January 20-26th
✨ Daily yoga • Meditation • Community • Ocean connection

Spaces are limited — message us to reserve your spot and begin your new year feeling centered and inspired!💫

THE BLESSED LORD SAID:

Fearlessness, purity of heart, persistence in the yoga of knowledge, generosity, self-control,
nonviolence, gentleness, candor,

integrity, disengagement,
joy in the study of the scriptures, compassion for all beings, modesty, patience, a tranquil mind,

dignity, kindness, courage, a benevolent, loving heart—
these are the qualities of men
born with divine traits, Arjuna.

Hypocrisy, insolence, anger,
cruelty, ignorance, conceit —
these, Arjuna, are the qualities
of men with demonic traits.

The divine traits lead to freedom;
the demonic, to suffering and bo***ge.

Chapter 16.1-5

✨ THE POWER OF CONSISTENCY ✨
In Ashtanga Yoga, transformation doesn’t come from intensity — it comes from consistency.
The magic lies in showing up — again and again — with curiosity, humility, and breath.

Each time you step on your mat, something subtle shifts: the body remembers, the mind softens, and awareness deepens. Over time, what once felt impossible becomes natural — not through force, but through steady devotion.

As the traditional saying goes, “Do your practice, and all is coming.”
Not perfection. Not instant results.
But strength, clarity, and presence — the quiet gifts of a daily rhythm.

🌿 Whether you’re just beginning or returning after years, every breath counts.
The practice meets you where you are — all you need to do is show up.

🕉️Come breathe, move, and discover the beauty of steady practice.

✨ Suṣumṇā — The Sacred Spine ✨

In Ashtanga yoga, we move and breathe along Suṣumṇā, the central channel of awakening — the energetic pathway that runs through the spine. It’s the place where balance, clarity, and presence begin.

Modern science reflects this ancient wisdom through the vagus nerve, which follows this same central line. It connects breath, heart, and digestion — helping the body shift from stress into calm and steady awareness.

Each inhale and exhale, supported by bandha (the inner locks), helps us tune into this sacred axis. For newer students, this may feel like learning to steady your breath and move with focus. For seasoned practitioners, it becomes the deeper work of refining neutrality — discovering stillness within motion.

When we align with Suṣumṇā — and awaken the vagus nerve — the practice becomes more than physical. It becomes a return to the center of ourselves.

🕉️ Breathe. Align. Awaken the sacred spine.

✨ Yoga Sutra 3.35-37 ✨

Patanjali reminds us that much of our suffering comes from forgetting who we truly are. We mistake the changing world — our thoughts, emotions, accomplishments and experiences — for the unchanging spirit within us.

Through steady practice, yoga teaches us to see the difference. We begin to recognize that we are not the noise of life, but rather the quiet awareness behind it.

As this clarity deepens, our senses awaken. We begin to see, hear, feel and process life more vividly. But even these beautiful insights are not the goal. The true practice is to stay centered in the stillness that witnesses it all.

🕊️ Yoga is remembering the light of awareness —within us all— that never fades.
