Have you ever heard a teacher say “The yoga pose you avoid the most, you need the most.” While there are definitely exceptions of postures that should be avoided due to certain contraindications, there is some truth to it. Often postures we might dread, expose weaknesses or emotional blocks in our bodies. However by facing these postures head on with proper alignment, we can build strength, explore new openings, and move through blocks that hold us back.

Is there a pose you avoid or dread coming up in a class? Let us know below!

We have some beautiful Gong Bath offerings coming up soon! Because weekends during our short summers get filled up fast, we’re bringing you some sweet summer evenings during the week to bath in these sound meditations. More details coming soon!

We want to hear from you! Let us know in the comments below if you’d come to early morning classes this summer!

Celebrating the bountiful light and palpable energy today with the arrival of the Summer Solstice!

Just a gentle reminder that while we LOVE seeing you all connecting, please respect that the studio space is a quiet zone. The front lobby, however, is conversation central! So, if you enjoy that time to sit in stillness, feel free to roll out your mat in the studio and chill. But if you love getting to socialize before and after class, grab a seat at the front bench to chat with all your studio friends!

Monday’s Meditation classes are sticking around! We introduced Meditation classes on Monday mornings throughout May and they were such a success we’re keeping them on the schedule.

South Studio Yoga YOGA AND WELLNESS

The classes have been growing in numbers, but more importantly, so has this emerging beautiful community! South Studio opened its doors just shortly before the world-wide pandemic hit, so while there was a core group of students from the very beginning, we’ve been absolutely loving seeing new faces everyday! Witnessing the connections made and community building before and after each class has been pure joy!

Let us know below who has made new friends at South Studio 🤗

To put it simply, Meditation is a practice of training the mind to focus and become more aware of the present moment. While there are many different types of meditation, each with its own specific techniques and goals, the underlying principles are generally the same - to develop mindfulness, calm the mind, and cultivate a greater sense of inner peace and well-being.

Here are some of the most common types:

1. Mindfulness Meditation: This involves paying attention to the present moment without judgment, often by focusing on the breath or body sensations.
2. Mantra Meditation: This involves using a mantra (statement or word) or sound to help the mind enter a state of deep relaxation and awareness.
3. Guided Meditation: This involves listening to a teacher or recording that guides you through a specific meditation practice.

Let us know below if you use one of these styles of Meditation or a different type 🙏🏻

While there are many types of meditation that exist, it’s important to find a practice that resonates with you and to approach it with an open and curious mind. Once you find a style that you connect with, try setting a context for your practice. Whether that’s a specific time or place. Perhaps it’s creating a special corner in your home, or lighting a candle, or playing certain music. While none of these things are needed for meditation, it can help to begin to create a framework for your practice to grow!

With the arrival of spring we often feel a palpable sense of feeling pulled outward. While this, more often than not, is quite a joyful experience, let it also serve as a reminder to move inward. Setting roots in practices such as meditation, can keep us grounded within this outward expression.

Join us Saturday May 27th from 5:00-6:00 pm for a serene gong bath meditation. This peaceful soundscape promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances well-being by using sound as a tool to quiet the mind and induce a state of deep relaxation.

As some of you may have already noticed or attended, we’ve added a Meditation and Pranayama class to our Monday schedule. This 45 minute class with Noah will give you the opportunity to try these practices for yourself.

During these classes we have been exploring the connection to the breath and Chitta (heart/mind) as a means to dive deeper into meditative states of Awareness.

Who has tried these classes so far this month?

Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep, is a deeply healing practice intended to induce total physical, mental, and emotional relaxation.

Yoga Nidra slows the wavelengths in your mind as you enter a sleep-like state. The experience often starts with sensing the body and mindfully breathing to trigger the relaxation response in your body.

For the month of May, Noah will be incorporating a short Yoga Nidra session into the end of every one of his Thursday evening Restorative classes!

Who LOVES this deeply healing practice? Who is curious to try?
