One of our core values is Community, and community starts with connection. So whether you're just discovering us or you've been part of the South River family for years, we want you to really get to know the beautiful humans who guide us on and off the mat.

Meet Tina! 💙
Tina is living proof that you can have a full-time job in accounting, raise two successful sons, celebrate 33 years of marriage, AND still show up for yourself on the mat.

Actually, that's not quite right. Tina doesn't just show up for herself. She shows up for all of us as our incredible studio assistant AND as a substitute yoga teacher who's on a mission to share the healing power of slowing down.

After experiencing firsthand how restorative yoga can transform both body and mind, Tina became passionate about creating gentle, healing classes designed for everybody. Not just the flexible. Not just the young. Everybody.

And she's not stopping there. This past weekend, she just completed Level 1 Sonic Sound Massage training. In 2026, she's pursuing her Accessible Yoga certification. And in 2027... her 300-hour advanced yoga teacher training! Because when you find something that heals you, you want to keep learning how to share it better.

When she's not at the studio or crunching numbers, you'll find Tina out on the water boating with family and friends (lake girl at heart!), curled up with a good book with her dog Moxie snuggling her, or spending time with her friends!

She's the steady, grounded energy we all need. And we're so grateful she's here. ✨

Community. Clarity. Growth.

We're getting a little facelift! 💅 No classes Thursday, November, 11/20.

The studio is closed ALL DAY Thursday while we give our lobby and bathroom some much-needed love. 🎨 Fresh paint, new fixtures, and a few fun surprises coming your way.

❤️Think of it as our version of self-care (because even yoga studios need a refresh, right?).

We'll see you back on the mat Friday, and trust me, you're going to love the new vibe.

Other Reminders:
✅ FreeCycle station is shut down for the year to make space for Small Business Saturday merch! It will come back in the New Year
🛍 Flash Sale from 9am - 11am this Saturday and Sunday, and Member-Only Merch drop!
🗓Be sure to check the schedule for a modified holiday schedule next week: No Wednesday (11/26) 6:30pm Yoga Basics, only 1 class on Thursday (11/27-Thanksgiving), no 6am Sunrise Flow on Friday (11/28).

Sorry. Not sorry.

(Well, maybe a LITTLE sorry for the irony of using a trending format to tell you we don't follow trends... but sometimes you gotta meet people where they are, right?)

This is who we are: philosophy-heavy, community-focused, and completely uninterested in whatever's hot on Instagram next week.

We're here for the people who want more than just a workout. Who understand that the real transformation happens when you take what you learn on your mat and apply it to the rest of your messy, beautiful life.

Sound like you? Try us out - $39 for 2 weeks unlimited classes. Link in bio.

2,000 years ago, a sage named Patanjali wrote down what might be the most revolutionary truth about happiness:
You don't find contentment by getting everything you want. You find it by being at peace with what you have.

Yoga Sutra 2.42 tells us: "From contentment, unsurpassed happiness is attained."

Not from the perfect body. Not from the stress-free life. Not from finally having it all together.

From contentment. From santosha.

And for those of us navigating the wild ride of midlife, we need to hear this.

We're managing so much. The body changes. The hormone chaos. The sandwich generation pressure of caring for everyone. The identity shifts. The exhaustion of trying to keep all the plates spinning.

And we keep thinking: "I'll feel better when I lose the weight, when the kids are settled, when my parents are stable, when work calms down, when I finally figure this all out."

But the Sutras flip the script. They say: find peace NOW. In the mess. In the middle. In the imperfect, chaotic, beautiful reality of your life as it actually is.

Because contentment isn't the destination. It's the foundation.

When you practice santosha, everything shifts.

Not because your life gets easier, but because you stop fighting what is and start living from a place of deep, grounded peace.

This is why we weave philosophy into every class at South River Yoga. Because this ancient wisdom? It's exactly what modern women need.

Come practice with us. Let's explore santosha together.

💫 Contentment isn't about getting more. It's about noticing what's already there. The piece. The ordinary Joy. The enough-ness of right now.
