Balance Yoga

Why do we repeat the same sequence or pose?

At Balance Yoga, repetition is not accidental.
It is intentional.

The first time you perform a sequence,
you establish the form.

You place the foot.
You lift the arm.
You manage the block.

The action is done—
but not yet understood.

The second time, something changes.

You begin to feel:
Which shoulder is closing/opening.
Which elbow is bending/extending.
Where the breath shortens or is held.

This is where practice begins.

The difference is subtle, but decisive:
Performance asks:
Did I complete the pose?

Practice asks:
What did I observe?

Repeating the basics is not a step backward.
It is the moment
when the body begins to speak
and the practitioner begins to listen.

💬 When you repeat a pose—Are you doing it again…
or are you seeing something new?

Join us to repeat…explore…learn

Today I had the privilege of hosting Capitol Area Networkers at the studio, and I’m so grateful to be part of a community that supports each other the way this group does. As I was sharing who I am and what the studio is all about, I realized it’s something I want all of you to hear too. So here goes...

I’m Angie Anderson Ryan, owner of Balance Yoga.

I educate people on proper body mechanics so they can understand what’s actually causing their pain and how to fix it.

This isn’t just stretching or “relaxing yoga.”
It’s education you can feel working in your body.

At Balance Yoga, we focus on:
• 𝙍𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣 through proper body mechanics
• 𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚, 𝙢𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮, and 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝
• Teaching students "𝙬𝙝𝙮" something works so they can repeat it on their own

A few things I shared during the tour:
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹 – gives feedback and support you can’t get anywhere else
• 𝗠𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸" (available in the studio & Amazon – I created
because there wasn’t a solid resource for this work
• 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 – for people who want to go deeper (you do NOT have to
want to teach)
• 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 – using the body’s natural lines of tension to create mechanical
advantage (like having more muscles help carry the load instead of overworking
one area)

If you’re talking about Balance Yoga to someone, this is the simplest way to describe Balance Yoga is:
We are a semi-private (10 students or less per class) studio where you actually
learn how to move your body better so you’re not in pain.

Here’s how people can get started in a class or workshop:
• 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟬:𝟭𝟱 𝗔𝗠 – Body Mechanics Yoga Lab
• 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟰 & 𝟱:𝟯𝟬 𝗣𝗠 – YO-PI (Yoga + Pilates Core combo)
• 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟬:𝟭𝟱 𝗔𝗠 – Chair Yoga
• 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟰 & 𝟱:𝟯𝟬 𝗣𝗠 – Yoga 101 (Fascial Lines is our focus until April 30, Then
we move on th Chakras)
• 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝘀 – deeper dives into specific areas of the body, breath and
nervous system
• 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 (𝗜𝗧𝗣) – starting soon

I also offer:
• 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝟭-𝗼𝗻-𝟭 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 for a more personalized approach
• 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝗴𝗮 & 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (I currently teach at several local
businesses)

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝟮 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀 for people who prefer to start at home or want to continue learning between sessions.

In studio this weekend:
• 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝗯 is this Saturday at 9:30 AM (we train the feet to move the way they were
designed to)
• There is 𝟭 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹 session right after the Foot Lab
this Saturday

You can also 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗽𝗽 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲—just search “Balance Yoga 217” to view the schedule and register.

If someone comes to mind who is dealing with pain, stiffness, or just feels “off” in their body… or someone who’s been hesitant to try yoga because it feels intimidating, awkward or they've never done it before… this is exactly who I help.

And if you’re a business owner looking to support your team’s health, I’d be happy to talk with you about bringing this into your workplace.

Thanks Capitol Area Networkers for joining me on this field trip and allowing me to share my passion—my reason "why" I educate and teach yoga ❤

𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚. 👣

Final Foot Strength Lab is this Saturday at 9:30 AM.

You may not see this class offered again for another 9–12 months.

If your feet, knees, hips, or back have been talking to you… this is where we start.

Simple work.
Real change.
Stronger foundation.

Spots are limited and pre-registration is required.

Not every great pose needs a wall.

Sometimes… it just needs a chair.

This is one of my favorite ways to bring the benefits of legs up the wall into a more accessible shape.

✔ takes pressure off the low back
✔ helps the pelvis settle
✔ gives the nervous system a chance to downshift
✔ encourages fluid exchange in the feet & lower legs so tissues can refresh & recover
✔ and feels really, really good after doing the work

We finished our Foot Lab with this last week…
because after you wake everything up, you have to give the body space to integrate it.

This is where the magic happens.

Simple. Supported. Effective.

This is how we build bodies that last.

There’s still time to join us—𝟮 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝗯 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝘀 remaining.

📅 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟰𝘁𝗵 + 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟭𝟭𝘁𝗵
⏰ 𝟵:𝟯𝟬 𝗔𝗠

Come give your feet the attention they’ve been asking for.

Feet were WORKING yesterday 👣🔥

Sold out Foot Lab and these beautiful humans showed up ready to learn how their feet are supposed to move… not just stretch them.

We worked:
• strength (not just flexibility)
• control
• mobility where it actually matters
• and waking up muscles most people don’t even know they have

Because when your feet change… everything upstream starts to change too.

✨ We’ve got 2 more chances to jump in:
📅 April 4 & April 11
⏰ 9:30AM

There’s still room for you—but preregistration is required.

If your feet have been talking (aching, stiff, cranky)… this is where you start listening.

This weekend inside our Yoga Teacher Training…
something big is happening.

First practicum.

Which means…
they’re teaching.
For the first time.

And yes… they’re nervous.
Because they’ve never done this before.

And that’s exactly the point.

“You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” — Eleanor Roosevelt

We talk about alignment.
We talk about breath.
We talk about body mechanics.

But this weekend…
we practice courage.

Because growth doesn’t come from staying in what’s comfortable.

It comes from:
• trying before you feel ready
• speaking before you feel confident
• doing the thing your brain is trying to talk you out of

“You can either experience the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.”

And I know which one we’re choosing.

To my trainees…
I see you.
I’m proud of you.
And this is where it begins.

And to anyone watching this thinking…
“I could never do that…”

👉🏼That thing you keep putting off?

👉🏼That thing that makes your stomach flip a little?

👍🏼Yeah… that one

Start there!

Hey friends 💙

If you’ve been wanting to try the Yoga Wall…
—or come back to it—
this is your moment.

We just opened new Yoga Wall options for April
with new days, new times, and two single-class workshops.

Here’s what’s coming:

✨ 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀, 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟯𝟬 • 𝟵:𝟬𝟬 𝗔𝗠 (4-Week Series)
𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹
Refine your alignment, build strength where it matters, and use the wall to decompress, challenge, and deepen your practice.

✨ 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟭𝟭 • 𝟭𝟬:𝟰𝟱 𝗔𝗠
𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹 (right after Foot Lab)
A deeply supportive practice to rest, release tension, and reset your nervous system.

✨ 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟭𝟴 • 𝟵:𝟯𝟬 𝗔𝗠
𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹
Perfect if you’re curious about the wall or want to feel how it supports strength, alignment, and confidence in your poses.

A few things to know:
• Limited to 4 students
• Registration required to hold your spot
• Minimum of 3 students to run

If you really want a class to happen… invite a friend 💙
(Everything is more fun on the Wall anyway)

If one of these is speaking to you, don’t wait to grab your spot.

See you on the Wall

Messages like this never get old…

‘I found your Yoga Wall Book, bought the Kindle version for myself, and it’s awesome!’

‘I reviewed it on Amazon and am sharing it with my yoga buddies.’

I don’t know her personally… she found the book on her own.

Grateful my yoga wall and work are reaching the right people.

Today I had the opportunity to teach a corporate yoga class at LLCC for a retirement celebration.

Instead of a traditional party, Tricia chose yoga… sharing that it reflects, “the joy that yoga has brought to my life.”

After 35 years in education, she wanted something meaningful to mark the transition.

So we moved through a practice focused on:
• letting go of the past
• grounding into the present
• opening to what’s next
• moving (and even dancing) into the day ahead

A simple, intentional way to acknowledge a big life shift.

This is something I love about corporate yoga… it can meet people in real moments.

Retirement
Staff appreciation
Wellness events
Team connection

Not just movement, but an experience that helps people pause, breathe, and reset.

If your workplace is looking for something a little different, I’d love to bring this to your team.

Happy Retirement, Tricia. Wishing you well in this next chapter.
