Stress Reduction Yoga & Yoga Nidra combines gentle and restorative yoga postures with the deeply healing practice of Yoga Nidra — also known as the yoga of sleep and rest.

The first half of class invites you to release tension through slow, supported movement. The second half guides you through a Yoga Nidra meditation designed to calm your mind and relax your entire body.

No experience needed — just come as you are and let relaxation do the work.
🕊️ Leave feeling grounded, clear, and restored — body, mind, and spirit.

𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗮?

Spanda is a Sanskrit word derived from the root, spadi, which means “to move a little." Usually translated to mean Movement, Motion, Subtle Pulse, Sacred Tremor of the Heart or Vibration.

Spanda refers to the subtle creative pulse of the universe as it manifests in our living form.

Spandana restores your ability to naturally center in the heart and regain the joy of life.

Spandana energy awakens us to a state of wonderment and subtle delight through this Sacred Tremor of the Heart.

When we sense this pulsation inside us, we are sensing our own personal spark of that huge, primordial life force. It is the energy behind the breath, the heartbeat, and the movement of our thoughts and feelings. It is also the source of all our inner experiences. When we get deep into ourselves, we realize that this throb, this subtle pulsation, is actually ‘meditating’ us. Bring your yoga mat & blanket or borrow one of ours for this practice.

📅 Date: Saturday, December 6th
🕒 Time: 10:15 AM
📍 Location: 2532 Farragut Dr., Springfield, IL 62704

🌀 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗮 𝗜𝘀?

Most people have heard of fascia — but few really understand what it does.

Allow me to help with this image of an orange. 🍊
This orange is separated by a fascia-like inner structure that’s strikingly similar to how fascia works in the human body.

Each little juice sac (muscle fiber) is wrapped in fascia.
Those sacs form segments (muscle bundles), also wrapped in fascia.
Even the skin and core have their own fascial layers — everything is connected and compartmentalized.

𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 👇
You’ll see fascia labeled as epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium — it surrounds every muscle fiber, bundle, and the muscle itself. Every bone, tendon, and organ is wrapped in this same web-like tissue.

When fascia is healthy, your body moves like a well-oiled machine.
When it’s restricted or dehydrated, movement feels tight, achy, and stiff.

✨ Fascia literally holds us together — giving us structure, connection, and the ability to move as one.

So next time you peel an orange, take a closer look…
You’re basically holding an anatomy lesson in your hand. 😉

To learn more about fascia join me for 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝟭𝟬𝟭 class on 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝟰:𝟬𝟬 𝗼𝗿 𝟱:𝟯𝟬 𝗣𝗠 — we’ll explore how fascia connects, supports, and shapes every movement you make.

🎉 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝘀𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘆! 🎓

Please join me in celebrating Ashley for completing her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Balance Yoga! Watching her journey unfold over these past months has been such an honor — from curious student to confident teacher, she has shown up with heart, discipline, and grace every step of the way.

Ashley’s growth reminds us what YTT is really about — not just learning poses, but learning about yourself. It’s about uncovering confidence, understanding the body and mind on a deeper level, and finding your voice both on and off the mat.

We can’t wait to see where her yoga path leads — whether that’s teaching, sharing, or simply living her practice more fully. 🌿💚

If you’ve ever felt that little tug that YTT might be calling you… this is your sign.
Our next 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training begins January 2026 — one weekend a month, designed for real people with real lives.

✨ Learn. Grow. Transform.
