Rhythms for Healing Training in Encinitas and Online with Christine Stevens, October 26 - 27. 2024 https://soulofyoga.com/event/advanced-rhythms-for-healing/

We are overwhelmed with appreciation for Studio Manager, Cheri! She's a bright light in our community, juggling many things and managing our class schedule with over 100 classes (in person and online)!

Grateful the universe crossed our paths with this soul!

"I just had hip replacement surgery 2 weeks ago. After surgery, I asked the Nurse how soon I could go home. She said most patients spend the first night in the hospital. They explained to me, if I could use a walker on my own to get to the bathroom, and return unassisted to the recovery room that I could go home the same day. My 10 plus years of Yoga poses (chair pose and planks) made a huge difference in my recovery. My Physical Therapist said I needed to be able to stand and balance on one leg (Tree pose) before she would be able to release me from Therapy. The standard protocol for Physical Therapy after this surgery is usually 4 weeks. I was released after only 2 weeks of PT. Soul of Yoga has attributed to my physical and mental well being in my life. I can’t wait to return to my Soul of Yoga community."

We are excited to announce that Sita Severson will be working alongside Dr. Dana Reece in leading and supporting our Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training Program at the Soul of Yoga Institute.

“As I embark on this journey of stepping into a new role in the Kundalini world with the Soul of Yoga, I accept it as the deepest honor. I understand that the initiation continues. The invitation to keep digging deeper and sharing these beautiful teachings is exhilarating.

I am grateful to that first class I went to with a teacher who knew how to hold a sacred container so that her students would be able to get what they needed. It is my sincerest delight to embark on this next stage of development, while inviting and supporting others in living, learning, shining and serving the world in their unique ways. My intention is to give the same gift that my teacher gave me to as many people as I possibly can.” ~ Sita

What is Pranayama?🌀
Pranayama is the fourth of the 8 limbs of yoga which are ethical and moral guidelines written by the yogic sage Pantanjali.

In Sanskrit, “prana” means “life force,” and describes the energy that is believed to sustain the life of the body. “Ayama” translates as “to extend, expand, or draw out,” although some say that the word is actually derived from “yama,” meaning “control.” Pranayama breathing facilitates a deep awareness of the body that allows us to elevate our consciousness and connection to the self.🛜

Pranayama can help relieve symptoms of stress and anxiety, improve sleep quality and respiratory function and enhance cognitive function.

💙If you're curious to learn more about incorporating Pranayama into your practice join our Breathwork class every Monday at 7pm and Wednesday at 12:15pm. Follow the link in our bio to sign up!

Settle in for a self-care moment with Stacy.🌸 We asked Stacy for her favorite self-care tip and she illuminated the benefits of outdoor meditation. When Stacy feels called to come home to herself she finds a moment for quiet and meditation outdoors. She finds peace and tranquility in her connection with the vibrant life that surrounds her. Connecting to nature makes space for understanding and allows us to conceive a world much bigger than ourselves. Thank you Stacy for a wonderful reminder that we are smaller parts of a big, beautiful picture.🌷
