Today’s class feedback was super sweet. Thank you dear students, this made my day!

Student No. 1: “Tuesday is my FAVORITE Day! You know why? Because it’s when I take your class!”

Student No. 2: “I just started taking Yoga classes for the first time and your class is a delight!” They went on to explain the other class they tried was too fast and made them dizzy.

I teach with the intention of keeping the class at an accessible level and pace for everyone. Yoga that allows for really tuning into your breath, your body, and this moment. The slowing down allows for you to relax and notice what’s happening within you, make adjustments, and helps prevent injury and increase healing and peace within.

Sound good? Check out my bio for classes and follow me for videos. If you’d like to be on my newsletter list, comment with “newsletter.”

See you on the mat,

When the pandemic hit I had a physical yoga studio in Berkeley. With shelter in place, literally overnight, I pivoted to an online yoga studio. And, as with so many of us, there was so much to pivot in life. I’m happy to see that for me, and what seems for many, we’ve settled into the new normal... hopefully mostly for the better.

I still teach weekly online classes and you’ll find me teaching in-person at the Downtown Berkeley YMCA. You may know that I also came back to being a residential real estate agent. Continuing to practice and teach Yoga as well is such a wonderful way to stay balanced, healthy, and connected to community.

My online classes are small, interactive, gentle yet powerful and healing. A combination of easy flow and warm-ups, core work, and deep stretches.

I often have students that are middle-aged to seniors, athletes that need to work out their tightness or sore spots, students recovering from an injury or surgery, or people just wanting a yoga class that is a slower pace.

I’ve just revamped my website and booking system, inviting in new students, or old friends to check it out and try a class.

And remember, class is online- you can join me from anywhere around the world! It’s always a pleasure to practice with community and be a supportive guide to my student’s wellbeing.

Curious to see more about my Yoga offerings? Ready to get back to Yoga or try it for the first time? You’ll find my website link in my Bio.

warmly,
Viviana

I’m 65, it’s the first time I’m doing this [Yoga]… and I’m hooked! I could not touch my toes… now I can!
~ Yoga Student

Filled up with gratitude after teaching at the Y. It’s been five years since I first started teaching yoga here. What has changed over these years is that I’ve grown more comfortable in my own practice, in myself, and my teaching. It’s been a joy to come back to teaching in person and to hear from the students the joy and impact of yoga is for them!

If you’d like to join my in person classes, you’ll find me every Tuesday and Wednesday at noon at the Downtown Berkeley YMCA.

Otherwise you can always follow my social posts here or take an online class!

Enjoyed a valentines tea time this afternoon! Happy love day to all. May you love and be loved.

This morning’s full moon set! Gorgeous pink clouds in the foreground 💕

🌕 The full moon is a good time to remember all that you have manifested, put into action, or completed in this last month. As we celebrate wins- little to big ones it can help to bring in gratitude and keep the mind focused on what we have indeed accomplished or already have in our lives. In this present moment, notice this, even in the midst of what the future might bring- it can help ease anxiety or fears.

As the moon wanes now towards the new… it’s a time of letting go… what can you let go of now to make room for the next moon’s manifestations?

“To be silent the whole day, see no newspaper, hear no radio, listen to no gossip, be thoroughly and completely lazy, thoroughly and completely indifferent to the fate of the world is the finest medicine a man can give himself.”
~Henry Miller

Stillness is also a practice!

YOGA with Viviana: Winter Update - https://mailchi.mp/1e828a1676bd/yoga-with-viviana-winter-update-14426597

Honoring Winter…

Winter is like the sunset of the year. A time of celebrating the beautiful light as darkness comes. It’s a time of reflecting on what we’ve experienced. We know the full brightness of the morning will return again soon, and prepare by resting. So in winter, it’s a good time to listen to the body’s natural desire to rest more - more active times requiring more energy will return soon again in the Spring. (Tips in the article)

Last week’s vacation in Puerto Vallarta was lovely. This was the last night there, sunset on the beach watching the waves and birds. My post earlier that day was Eagle Arms… Here’s the full Eagle pose, a bit more challenging on the sand! Lol

Video of the sunset and waves in comments 😍

One of my favorite places to teach Yoga! I’m back teaching IN-person classes at the Downtown Berkeley YMCA. Tuesdays and Wednesdays at noon : Yoga Flow and Stretch.

It’s such a lovely large open space. Gorgeous wood floors, super high ceilings and windows. And new Big Ass Fans - the actual brand name of these ceiling fans 😅

Come join us! (Note: On vacation Nov 15-29, check the Berkeley Y for the sub schedule)

Autumn Newsletter is out -
Fall is a time of “letting go.”

Just as the trees are starting to drop their leaves, preparing for winter, it’s a time for us of turning inwards and may find more emotions of grief and sadness… Or you may feel the need to let go of other things that might not be serving you. We can also feel it in our bodies as the skin is starting to get drier, or or feeling dehydrated. Yoga can be a great part of supporting you during these shifts… opening the lungs and intestines - both organs that regulate letting go-within the body in different ways, both physically and emotionally. Within and beyond letting go, is making room and space for the new!

Autumn Tips.
TRY THESE SIMPLE THINGS TO SUPPORT LETTING GO:

Drink more water

Get more rest

Journal

Talk to a friend or therapist

Practice Yoga poses that open the lungs and intestines (Tree Pose is a great one).

Have a great week!

Witnessing the beautiful change of season and tree colors in up-state New York…. Had to be with the trees in Tree Pose 🌳🍂🙏🏼

I've just reached 200 followers! Thank you for continuing support. I could never have made it without each one of you. 🙏🤗🎉

First in-person Yoga Classes since 2020!

NEW:Berkeley YMCA
Tues and Wed

Every Day is Indigenous Peoples Day 🙏🏼


Honoring the people and their ancestors of the land we live on. It’s a hard thing to sit with, all the suffering and loss of Native Americans, their land, people, and culture. May more people know, remember, learn, and respect this unfortunate truth of how America was built.

Every moment is about holding on and letting go. Breathing in and breathing out. What we decide to keep and what to release.

It’s time for an update. I hope you and yours are doing well! As most of you know I’ve been focusing on growing my real estate business since 2021. What some of you don’t know is that I still teach Yoga Online. It’s kept me healthy and balanced in all ways through my adult life, and even more so through the pandemic and all the changes it brought. It’s a joy to share my Yoga practice with community! Some of you may know me through my offerings with Heart Source. That was a labor of love from 2016-2020. And, I’m no longer with Heart Source. You can now find my classes here:

Yoga makes all the difference in my life. It’s great to hear from happy and healthy clients too!

When COVID hit, I closed my studio and literally switched to online classes overnight. It was a very touching thing to still be able to keep connecting and practice with yoga clients.

Classes are gentle and therapeutic:: focus on stretching, letting go stress and pain, and gaining more range of motion and balance.

To become a mom... it is an act of becoming. So many changes. Your body, mind, spirit, relationships... Life is forever different and changing in a whole new layer. It can also be an isolating experience for some. Postpartum support is unfortunately a need often not met.

Do you know a New Mom who could use a time and place to connect with her self, her body, her spirit and connect with other new parents?

I am offering a Postpartum Yoga Connect class starting this Friday at Heart Source. Fridays at 10:30am to noon.

This Mom's Group Meets Yoga allows for plenty of time to connect, share, get support, move, and rest. All ages of children and fathers are welcome, and all that it takes to raise and care for a baby... Diaper changes, nursing, snacking!

Know someone who could use this? Please share
