It’s so easy to get swept into routines and forget what actually feels meaningful. Yoga teacher training has a way of pulling you back. Not into more doing, but into deeper connection.

Our 200hr YTT starting Jan 29, 2026 is a space to reconnect with yourself, your practice, and what really matters in your life. Doesn't necessarily have to be in a dramatic way though... just through steady learning, reflection, and community.

If you’re wanting to move through your days with more intention and less autopilot, this might be your next step.

✨ Offerings include:
🧘‍♀️ Gentle breathwork + somatic meditation
🌀 Ceremonial exercise & energetic limpia
🍫 Heart-opening cacao ritual
🔥 Fire ceremony to release and renew (weather permitting)
🎶 Soundbath to integrate and restore
🎁 A special solstice gift for all attendees

If you’re craving a quiet, grounding space at the month, we have something really special coming up. 🌿

On Sunday, December 28 from 11:00–12:30pm, Kranti Kalepally will be guiding Pranayama & Sound: Samantraka Pranayama with Gayatri Mantra. This class is a gentle blend of breathing, chanting, and stillness designed to bring connection.

Kranti brings such a beautiful depth to her teachings. Her journey has woven through the Krishnamacharya lineage, Vedic chanting, Yoga Sutras study, and ongoing training and learning, but what I love most about her teaching is how simple and human it feels. She invites you to meet yourself with presence and curiosity, asking questions like:

-Am I calm when I chant?
-Am I truly listening?
-What is my relationship with my body and breath?

It’s a donation-based class (suggested $10–$30), and all are welcome.
YTT students at Lotus Pond can receive 1.5 TTP credits with a short written reflection.

If breath, sound, or inner stillness have been calling to you lately.. this is a beautiful way to explore them in community. 💛

One thing I’ve learned from this practice is that intentional living doesn’t happen all at once. In my opinion and from what I've witnessed in myself and others, it happens choice by choice.

Our 200hr Yoga Teacher Training (Jan–June 2026) is really a container for that kind of shift.

Six months of slowing down, paying attention, asking deeper questions, and learning how to show up for your own life with more clarity and purpose.

If you’ve been craving a more intentional way of living, this training might be the structure and support you need.

We have 3 scheduled Info Sessions on select Thursdays at 6pm if you want to explore it a little more - 12/11, 12/18, 1/15. Applications and Interviews must be complete by 1/20 in order to be considered for this upcoming semester.

Reach out to me with any questions in the meantime here on social or via email lotuspondteachertraining@gmail.com

Warmly,
Katie Beene, studio co-owner

Have you been considering the Costa Rica Yoga Retreat May 30-June 6 with Carla and Sahara?

One interesting thing about going on retreat is how quickly people remember who they are when life gets quieter and little more spacious. By day two you’re already more relaxed, more open, more you.

If you’re craving that kind of homecoming, you don't have to go on retreat but it is a conducive environment for you to create healthy space to bring back with you from the trip into your daily life. Costa Rica, Carla and Sahara, along with a supportive group is coming together with open and inviting energy to practice how to find spaciousness.

Don't just take our word for it.. one of our retreat participants from this year shared about her experience:

"I had an uplifting experience on the Yoga Retreat in Costa Rica. The classes were enriching. The Pura Vida resort was breathtaking in it's lush landscaping and offered delicious food daily and wonderful massages. I also loved our excursions into the rain forest. I am sure anyone considering going on the 2026 Costa Rica Yoga Retreat will love the trip and feel supported and encouraged by Sahara and Carla and the group experience. " - Jeanie

Something we wish more people knew: you don’t have to want to “be a yoga teacher” to join a teacher training.

Some of the most transformed students never planned to teach...they just wanted a deeper, steadier relationship with their practice. In fact, in order to be a great teacher you have to be willing to be a dedicated student.

Our next 200hr Yoga Teacher Training (Jan–June 2026) is built exactly for that: real humans, real life, real growth. We meet Thursday evenings and every other weekend, giving space for integration without overwhelming your schedule.

If you’re curious, we have a free Info Session most Thursdays (6:00–6:30pm). No sessions on Christmas or New Years day. Come ask questions, listen, and just get a feel for the program and the studio.

There’s something about this time of year that naturally encourages me to slow down. It could be that the days get shorter and everything just feels quieter. The type of practice I do each day starts to change.. more restorative postures like legs up the wall, mindfulness practices that invite me to be more present like slow walks outside, and quiet time in nature feeling the shift into winter with colder mornings and evenings.

I'm looking forward to a gentle, relaxing evening with EarthRoots for our upcoming “Light Within” Sound Journey scheduled on Friday, Dec 19 from 7:00–8:30pm.

Jenny and Mark create the kind of atmosphere where you can actually feel yourself exhale… harp, flutes, bowls, voice.... those sounds that seem to reach the places words can’t.

It sounds beautiful, don't get me wrong, but it's way more about how it feels when you experience a sound journey. If you know.. you know. If you don't know yet, come experience it for yourself!

If you’ve been craving a quiet moment to reconnect, this evening experience might be exactly what you need.

If you have any questions just reach out to me!

If you’ve been wanting something meaningful on your calendar for 2026 like a commitment to yourself, your growth, and your well-being then our 200hr Yoga Teacher Training might be that milestone.

From January to June, we’ll explore yoga from the inside out:
mindfulness, anatomy, philosophy, alignment, breathing techniques, teaching skills, and the quieter parts of this practice that don’t always make it to Instagram.

If you’re curious (even a tiny bit), join an Info Session or reach out. Sometimes the best journeys start with a small, honest “maybe.”

Are your shoulders tight right now? What if you tried rotating your shoulders a few times... how does it feel?

Maybe you try one shoulder at a time..

Then what if you took a few deep breaths, lifting the arms over head on your inhale and lowering them down as you exhale?

Can you time up the lifting of your arms with the entire in breath, maybe even slowing down the inhale?

Then can you time up the lowering of your arms with each exhale, slowing down the breath even more?

Do you feel any sensation in your shoulders, chest or upper back? Anywhere else?

How do you feel now?

and yes, I'm actually asking lol I'm genuinely curious.
