A special class is coming to Seva
On Saturday, April 19th at 12pm, we're welcoming guest teacher Olivia Albanese Gordon for a donation-based All Levels + class, with all proceeds benefiting our April service project, Freedom Reads.

Olivia is a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, Yin Yoga certified, and a Master Certified Health Education Specialist with a Master of Public Health. Her approach to movement is rooted in whole-person wellbeing, making this a class you won't want to miss.

All Levels + moves through Vinyasa-based flows with options for greater intensity, welcoming practitioners of every background. Whether you're newer to the mat or looking to turn up the heat, there's space here for you.

Freedom Reads brings books and literacy programming to people who are incarcerated, working toward a more just and literate world. Your donation on the mat becomes a book in someone's hands.

April Service Project:

This month, we're directing our seva toward Freedom Reads, an organization doing quiet, powerful work inside some of the loneliest places in America.

Freedom Reads brings handcrafted libraries into prison cellblocks, creating spaces for reading, reflection, and community among incarcerated people. Founded by poet and attorney Reginald Dwayne Betts, who found the transformative power of books during his own time in prison, the organization has opened 629 Freedom Libraries across 61 prisons and shipped over 279,750 books to readers inside.

Their vision is a Freedom Library in every cellblock in every prison in America.

Throughout April, a portion of all sales at Seva Yoga will be donated to Freedom Reads. You can also make a cash donation directly at the studio.

Every book. Every breath. Every act of service matters. 🙏

Right Effort

In the Eightfold Path, Right Effort is about balance. Neither forcing nor withdrawing. It is the art of doing what is skillful, without exhaustion or avoidance. At its heart, it asks us to gently turn away from what harms, to release what no longer serves us, and to nurture what brings clarity, steadiness, and compassion.

Right Effort is not striving. It is intentional energy. It asks us to notice where we are scattering ourselves and where we are strengthening what truly matters. It is disciplined, but not harsh. Steady, but not rigid.

As days grow longer, notice where effort feels nourishing and where it feels draining. Notice what habits deserve your attention and which ones are ready to be released. Practice choosing what supports steadiness and ease.

Be well and do good work, without burning yourself out.

Two New Morning Offerings at Seva

We’re excited to introduce two new weekday morning classes at Seva later this month. Whether you’re looking to begin your week with ease or create space for quiet reflection midweek, these practices are designed to help you move, breathe, and settle into your day with intention.

Relaxing Flow

Mondays at 8:00am | 60 minutes | Beginning March 16 with Karolina .zbaski

Stressed out, need to stretch, want to relax? This class is designed to help you unwind while gently waking up the body. Students will be guided through a softer, fluid-like flow that includes both standing postures and restorative shapes.

The intention is simple: allow the mind to quiet, the body to soften, and the spirit to reconnect. Expect a tranquil atmosphere, softer music, and a gentle sequence that is open to all levels—beginners welcome.

Slow Flow + Meditation

Wednesdays at 8:00am | 60 minutes | Beginning March 25 with Gabrielle .rossidivito

This slower-moving flow weaves gentle movement together with moments of meditation and stillness. Poses are linked with the breath at an unhurried pace, creating space to settle into the body and quiet the mind.

Guided meditation and pranayama are woven throughout the practice, inviting awareness, clarity, and ease. The class seeks to find balance between movement and stillness, allowing each to support and deepen the other.

Start your week with softness, or pause midweek for reflection—both classes are now open for registration. We hope you’ll join us.

Awakening to Change

Spring begins to stir, and with it the reminder from Buddhism that everything is impermanent. Change is not something to fear, it is something to meet with awareness.

The body shifts. Energy rises. Motivation returns in new forms. Rather than forcing growth, yoga teaches us to cooperate with it.

This season, allow yourself to grow at your own pace. No comparison. No urgency. Just attention.

March 2026 | Service Project

This March, Seva is honored to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation, an organization that brings hope, joy, and life-changing experiences to children facing critical illnesses.

Throughout the month, a portion of all Seva sales will be donated to Make-A-Wish, alongside in-studio contributions.

Make-A-Wish creates magical, personalized wishes for children, giving families moments of strength and joy during some of life’s hardest challenges. Their work reminds us that hope matters—and that community support can make unforgettable dreams come true.

We invite you to learn more about their mission, the impact they make, and how wishes are granted around the world.

Be well. Do good work.

Staying With What Is

In the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha teaches mindfulness as the practice of observing the body, feelings, and mind just as they are, without clinging or resistance. As the text reminds us, one practices “ardent, clearly knowing, and mindful, having put away longing and distress for the world.”

February often asks us to slow down and sit with what feels unfinished or unclear. In practice, we are invited to notice breath, sensation, and thought without rushing to fix or improve them. This steady attention becomes an act of care.

Believe presence is enough. You do not need to become someone else to practice here. Yoga is a place to listen deeply and respond with kindness.

Let stillness do its quiet work.
