How to Prepare for the Advanced 84 Sequence
This Saturday we’ll be running through all 84 classic asanas within the Ghosh lineage (where Bikram yoga originates!) It includes all the postures on the poster in the hallway of the studio - but don’t be intimidated! No need to be at any particular level to join, as long as you’re able to stay conscious of your body and what it’s telling you.

Igniting Vision: New Moon Ceremonies
Welcome wild beautiful souls! We come together almost every month to ignite our personal and collective visions under the energies of the New Moon. This gathering is intended to help you find clarity in your vision and bring power to your intentions. Each new moon has a different focus of intention, but it always reminds us that we are the creators of our lives and in these sacred moments we can take action towards focusing our path and rededicating ourselves towards the future that we want to create. This month our gathering is on Tuesday, April 25th from 7:30-9:00pm.

This is all intended to help us unify our connection to the world around us, and to see how it is reflected in our personal experiences, especially through the lens of...

There are also lots of other ways to challenge yourself within your practice, so don’t just focus on the numbers, and always look for ways to continuously push yourself to be better. Here are a few ideas to continue challenging yourself - see if anything resonates with you! Move closer to the mirror: Maybe you like to hide in the back of the room, but the closer you are to the mirror, the easier it is to check your alignment.

Energy Body Yoga: Beyond the Physical. May 13th and June 3rd
