Strength isn’t just about muscles, it’s about how well your body can handle and adapt to challenge. 💪

Our Yoga Strength Class is designed to introduce intelligent, moderate loading into your practice to help build resilience from the inside out.

Why does this matter?

Because your connective tissues, including ligaments, tendons and fascia, respond to stress. When applied mindfully, that stress helps them become stronger, more adaptable, and better supported over time.

In this class, you'll experience:

- Controlled, strength-based holds in familiar yoga shapes
- Slow, intentional transitions that increase time under tension
- Weights and props to add load and challenge stability

This isn’t about intensity for intensity’s sake.

It’s about training your body to move with greater support, stability, and longevity so your yoga practice can evolve with you, not against you.

Come try out one of our 3 Yoga Strength Classes this week:

Wednesday, April 1st @ 7:15pm
Thursday, April 2nd @ 8am
Saturday, April 4th @ 10:30am

At Explore Yoga, we believe yoga is so much more than movement. It’s a tool for connection, resilience, and emotional well-being.

In addition to teaching yoga at Explore, our teacher Gwen has been teaching yoga for years with Troy Youth Assistance, helping bring mindfulness and movement to kids in our community.

So proud of the work she’s doing to help kids build confidence, resilience, and connection.

Great job Gwen!

Join us Friday evening March 13th for Yoga Nidra w/Gigi at 7:15pm.

Yoga Nidra is an ancient form of guided relaxation and meditation backed by modern science and research. At Explore Yoga we begin by preparing the body for meditation using Myofascial Release, resulting in a deeply restorative rest.

This research-based transformative practice of deep relaxation and meditation that is used by the U.S. Military and all over the world as an effective way to relax the nervous system and bring a sense of mind body connection and overall feelings of peace and calm.

This guided meditation is generally practiced lying down using various props and pillows for optimal comfort. We recommend bringing your mat and a pillow at minimum for this practice. Many people bring multiple pillows and blankets to make sure they're as comfortable as they can be.

Monthly members can attend both of theses classes as part of their membership, if you're not a monthly member, you can either purchase a drop in or use your existing class packages.

What an incredible week in Costa Rica with our Explore Yoga community!

We’ve shared space with macaws soaring overhead, capuchin monkeys playing in the trees, colorful lizards, butterflies, hummingbirds, and toucans. We’ve hiked through lush jungle, soaked up the sun on the beach, sailed on a catamaran, moved and breathed together on the mat, and enjoyed a lots and lots of food.

More than anything, this trip has been about connection, to nature, to each other, and to ourselves. Feeling so grateful for this group, this place, and the memories we’ll carry home with us.

Pura Vida 🦜💛🐒

This gentle, restorative experience will focus on heart-opening Yin postures. As you relax into long-held shapes, you’ll receive gentle, therapeutic massage to support muscular release, calm the nervous system, and enhance your ability to fully let go.

Thoughtfully integrated massage deepens the effects of the Yin practice, encouraging circulation, ease, and a sense of safety in the body. With a small class size, you’ll enjoy more personalized, hands-on attention and uninterrupted rest, allowing for a more immersive and restorative experience.

🚧 Traffic Alert for the Next Few Weeks 🚧

Heads up! The City has shared a construction update that may impact your commute to class over the next three weeks. Starting today, Tuesday, Jan. 13, westbound Long Lake at Rochester Road will be closed, which could cause delays depending on which direction you’re coming from.

⏰ Plan ahead and allow a few extra minutes to get to class.

Westbound traffic will be detoured, and traffic on Rochester Road will be reduced to one lane in each direction, so backups are expected. Eastbound Long Lake will remain open, and access to nearby businesses will still be available.

🚗 If possible, consider alternate routes and give yourself a little extra buffer time. Thanks for planning ahead and staying safe!

Join us this Friday evening, January 9th for Yoga in The Dark.

**Just 5 Spots Left**

This class will be a sensory deprivation experience, taking away all visual stimulation and leaving you with just sound and proprioception.

Sometimes referred to as our "Sixth Sense", proprioception is our awareness of what our bodies are doing and how they are situated in space at any given time. As we age, this innate sense of body awareness isn't always a given. Many factors come into play that dampen this awareness, including our other senses (especially sight), and take our attention away from our body awareness. This class is designed to help hone this important sense and elevate your practice.
