🤯 READ CAPTION👇If you feel like you don’t have time to slow down… that might be the moment you need it most 💚 Research on ultradian rhythms (90–120 minute biological cycles studied by neuroscientist Dr. Ernest Rossi) shows that the brain naturally needs short recovery periods throughout the day. Taking even 5 minutes every couple of hours to pause, breathe, or do nothing can restore cognitive function, regulate stress hormones, and improve focus. Without these resets, the nervous system stays in a constant state of activation.

Yoga traditions have known this for centuries. Practices like Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, + Yoga Nidra are designed to intentionally create that reset for the body + mind.

• Restorative yoga uses props + long-held poses to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, lowering heart rate, blood pressure, + cortisol levels.
• Yin yoga gently loads connective tissue, improving joint mobility + hydration of fascia while encouraging deep stillness.
• Yoga nidra (“yogic sleep”) has been shown to guide the brain into alpha + theta states associated with deep rest, emotional regulation, + improved sleep.

In other words: slowing down actually makes you more resilient, focused, + energized.

We’re excited to deepen this practice in our Thursday 7pm Restorative class in South Portland with Lucy, who will begin incorporating Yoga Nidra into the experience.

And on the 4th Thursday of each month (March–May), Emily Capaldi will join with Sound Healing to amplify the relaxation response: 03/26 • 04/23 • 05/28

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do… is pause 💚

Sometimes the best thing for your practice is simply walking through the door 💚 Allison recently finished our 10-Day Unlimited New Student Pass ($30) and shared this with us:

“I completed my 10-day unlimited intro pass yesterday, and wanted to extend a THANK YOU! for offering that option. I have a consistent home practice with various YouTube instructors, but have limited experience in a studio setting or with full hour classes. It put me out of my comfort zone to try something new, but I was grateful for the back-to-back opportunities to get into a rhythm and grow my confidence with it. I learned a lot about the studio, and about myself! I really appreciate all of the great instructors I practiced with and look forward to continuing with a class pass soon.” — Allison

That’s exactly why we offer the pass. Ten days gives you time to explore different teachers, find the classes that resonate, and settle into the rhythm of practicing in community.

If you’ve been curious about trying a studio class—or know someone who has—this is a great place to start.

✨ 10 Days of Unlimited Yoga for $30
Bring a friend. Share with someone who’s been meaning to start. Your practice might be closer than you think 💚 Visit our website (link in bio) for more information.

SWIPE >>> Spring training isn’t just about doing more—it’s about moving better. Think of yoga as your performance multiplier. Stronger movement patterns + better breath + calmer focus.

Whether you run, golf, lift weights, cycle, or train for competition, yoga can be a powerful tool for peak performance. What was once considered “just stretching” is now supported by growing research showing that yoga improves both physical output + mental resilience, two of the most important components of athletic success.

As spring sports ramp up, yoga can help prepare your body for higher training loads while maintaining durability throughout the season.

Consistency beats intensity. Add 2–3 sessions per week + notice the difference in how you move, train, + recover 💚

Okay we’ve LOVED seeing the “this is the one who…” trend everywhere… so naturally we had to make our own 💚

From the teacher bringing the energy to the 6am crew, to the playlist perfectionist, to the one who somehow turns a chill vinyasa into a spicy flow… you probably know exactly who we’re talking about.

Be honest… which teacher came to mind immediately for each one? 👀 Tag them (or claim your title).

*UPCOMING WORKSHOP PLUG* Flow & Soul: Yoga with Live Music. Join us Friday, March 27 (6–7:30 PM) at our Falmouth Studio for a special all-levels class blending vinyasa and yin with soulful live music by Heath and Ashley MacVane. Move, unwind, and settle into a heart-centered practice led by Heidi MacVane. $30 – all proceeds benefit ILAP Maine, supporting legal advocacy for low-income immigrants.

Some days remind you why community practice matters 💚 This weekend we gathered to celebrate International Women’s Day with Nuna Gleason of Maine Afro Yoga Project, moving, breathing, and learning together in a class rooted in connection, resilience, and care.

For 75 minutes the room held something special—people showing up not just for their own practice, but for each other and for the wider community. Through movement and shared intention, Nuna invited us into the spirit of Maine Afro Yoga Project: creating spaces where healing, inclusion, and cultural connection can thrive.

International Women’s Day has been celebrated for more than a century as a call for dignity, health, safety, and equity for women and marginalized communities. Practicing together in that spirit felt powerful—and deeply aligned with why spaces like this matter.

Thank you to everyone who came, practiced, listened, and supported the work of Maine Afro Yoga Project. And thank you to Nuna and her team for bringing their energy, wisdom, and community leadership into the studio.

Moments like this remind us: yoga is more than movement—it’s a way we gather, care for one another, and build something meaningful together 💚

03/08/2026

International Women’s Day is a moment to recognize the power of women gathering—in work, in leadership, in care for community. As a women-owned + managed yoga studio, we’re especially grateful for the teachers, students, + community members who have shaped this space since day one.

Over the past 15 years, this studio has grown through the dedication of practitioners sharing their moving meditations, their wisdom, + their support for one another. Together we’ve created a place where individual growth + communal care live side by side—where people come to move, breathe, rest, + feel seen. We are so grateful.

These photos capture just a few moments across the years—teachers + community members who have helped hold this space since our earliest days. Many more are not pictured here, but their presence, energy, + care are just as deeply woven into the fabric of this community.

Community like this doesn’t happen by accident. It grows when people show up for one another, again + again. THANK EACH + EVERY ONE OF YOUR FOR BEING PART OF IT!

Today we celebrate the women who have helped build this space + the collective strength that comes from uplifting each other 💚

Light returns. Balance shifts. A new season begins 💚 Join us for Robin’s Spring Solstice Yoga Nidra & Sound Bath workshop, a deeply restorative afternoon designed to align your inner landscape with the season’s quiet awakening.

The Spring Solstice (Equinox) marks the moment when day and night stand in equal measure—a natural turning point that invites reflection, renewal, and gentle transformation. It’s a time to release what feels heavy and plant clear intentions for what’s ahead.

Yoga Nidra, often called “yogic sleep,” is a guided meditation practice shown to reduce stress, improve sleep quality, support emotional regulation, and calm the nervous system by shifting brainwave patterns toward deeply restorative states. When paired with sound healing—crystal bowls, chimes, and ocean drum—the body often moves into parasympathetic rest, lowering heart rate and inviting a sense of spacious clarity.

This isn’t about effort.
It’s about integration.
It’s about creating space for what’s ready to grow.

Move together. Breathe together. Celebrate together 💚 In honor of International Women’s Day, we’re grateful to welcome Nuna Gleason of Maine Afro Yoga Project and Wounded Healers International for a special 75-minute, all-levels fundraising class rooted in movement, community, and collective care.

This practice will be taught in the spirit of Maine Afro Yoga Project, inviting participants to move, breathe, and learn more about the healing, culturally grounded, and community-centered work Nuna and her organizations offer. Nuna will be joined by friends and co-teachers in the studio, creating a powerful space for connection and shared practice.

International Women’s Day has been celebrated for over a century as a call toward dignity, equity, health rights, and safety for women and marginalized communities—and we’re honored to gather in that spirit through yoga.

Slow down. Soften. Support your community 💚 Join Danielle & Emily Capaldi for a Deep Stretch & Sound Healing Fundraising Workshop—an evening designed to help the body release tension while giving the nervous system space to truly rest.

Restorative and slow, floor-based yoga is deeply supported by research showing that longer, supported postures can lower cortisol levels, reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and activate the parasympathetic nervous system—the state where healing, digestion, and recovery occur. When paired with intentional breathwork and sound healing, brainwave activity often shifts toward slower alpha and theta states associated with deep relaxation, improved mood, and better sleep.

This practice isn’t about effort—it’s about allowing the body to unwind patterns of stress we carry every day.

✨ Friday, March 6 | 6:00–7:30 PM
📍 South Portland Studio
💚 $30 Donation Workshop

All proceeds benefit the Maine Solidarity Fund, which provides direct support to Maine’s Black, Brown, immigrant, and Trans communities—helping neighbors access resources, stability, and mutual aid when it’s needed most.

Come rest your body, calm your mind, and extend care beyond the studio walls. Practice that restores and gives back 💚

READ CAPTION 👇 What it looks like on the outside ➡️ What it feels like on the inside 💚

On the outside: a simple forward fold. On the inside: breath steady, sound soft in the throat, attention returning again and again.

This is Ujjayi breathing—a slow, controlled breath that gently engages the back of the throat and lengthens the inhale and exhale. Research shows that slow, diaphragmatic breathing stimulates the vagus nerve, improves heart rate variability, lowers cortisol, and shifts the body into parasympathetic (rest-and-regulate) mode. In other words: it helps your nervous system feel safe.

Yoga becomes meditation in motion when the breath leads. Each inhale anchors you here. Each exhale softens the noise.

And the wandering mind? Completely normal. The brain is wired to time-travel—replaying the past or planning the future. The practice isn’t to stop that. The practice is noticing when it happens… and gently bringing your attention back to breath, to sensation, to now.

That return is the repetition. That return is the training. That return is the practice 💚

Slow down. Breathe. Come back.
