The Yoga Channel, Oxnard Yoga Studio

If you zoom in, you’ll notice Ventura county is a cool blue color on the coast just north of LA. Everyone else all around us is baking in a heatwave and everyone I talk to around here complains about the June gloom, and how they can’t wait for the sun to come out. Slow down! Take a deep breath, and appreciate how perfect the present moment can be. We can be content with things just as they are, it’s a choice 😊

Hi, I’m Nathan! Just in case you haven’t met me yet I teach a few different types of yoga classes here at The Yoga Channel at Silver Strand Beach. If you or anyone you know is interested in taking yoga classes or training to become a yoga teacher please let me know. I would love a chance to be of service.

Meditation practice tip: set a timer on your phone for two minutes, sit up straight, close your eyes, and begin to listen to the sound of your breath. Focus on how it feels as it moves through you. If you think about anything else, focus on the sound of your next breath and tune in to the feelings once again. Do this until the timer goes off. Do this everyday for a few weeks and you have established a new habit, able to do what you will with it.

"In truth, yoga doesn't take time - it gives time."

-Ganga White

What a powerful truth this is. Learning how to slow down everything in your life...slows down life. Slow down the breath, slow down your movements, slow down your thoughts.

What would you do with more time given?

"The longest journey of any person is the journey inward."

-Dag Hammarskjold

As a mother, this quote struck me HARD when I read it. Think about it, when you're a child, everything is external. Your experiences are all shaped by things that are happening outside of you. You neither possess the language nor the skills to understand internal processes until you're around 10, and by that time your internal responses to things are surely being clouded by the growing onslaught of a rapid change in hormones. If you're fortunate to have an open community who speaks of these changes, then you'll come to understand that this process never ceases and has been going until since you were born.

Where are you at on your inward journey? How would you describe it?

Check out these photos from our Vision Board event in January. Can you believe that 2024 is 1/3 complete? That's wild to my brain.

Now is a great time to check in with your beginning-of-the-year intentions and desires. How many of them have already come to fruition? How many of them don't make sense for where you are right now? Are you ready to let anything go and make room for other intentions and desires to come through?

Let us know!

So many beautiful days down here in Silverstrand. Come down and take a class, do some shopping, or eat at one of the awesome restaurants (like )

"Yoga begins with listening. When we listen, we are giving space to what is."

-Richard Freeman

What does this mean to you? Whether or not you're brand new to yoga or you're a seasoned practitioner, it will mean something when you read it and take a few minutes to feel about the deeper meanings of the quote. As I've developed more and more of my practice, the meaning has shifted and changed, but the words are powerful no matter what.

Let us know what you think 💙

SO EXCITED for each of you and this fantastic year.

We would like to introduce the AMAZING Sarah!

Sarah is a certified Vinyasa and Yoga Nidra teacher and will be joining the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month starting April 23rd for Yoga Nidra.

What is Yoga Nidra you might ask? Glad you did: Yoga Nidra, often translated as "yogic sleep," is a powerful relaxation technique and a form of guided meditation that induces deep relaxation while maintaining awareness. It's typically practiced lying down in a comfortable position, allowing you to enter a state of conscious relaxation between wakefulness and sleep.

Doesn't that sound yummy?

Check out our website under workshops to sign up!

Gonna miss those awesome Fall Sunsets and the amazing sunset Yin Yoga sesh. Look, Yin Yoga goes down at 5:30pm on Tuesdays, and when you're done, it's still daylight, which has its perks, ya know?

🌕✨ Embrace the Radiance of Tonight's Full Moon! ✨🌕

Tonight, the celestial skies grace us with the enchanting presence of the full moon, illuminating our world with its luminous glow. As the moon reaches its fullest phase, it symbolizes completion, fruition, and the culmination of our efforts.

Astrologically, this full moon is "in" Virgo. Known for its transformative energy, this lunar phase invites us to reflect on our intentions, release what no longer serves us, and embrace new beginnings.

Under the cosmic embrace of the full moon, emotions may run deep, and intuition becomes heightened. It's a powerful time to connect with our inner wisdom, listen to the whispers of our soul, and align ourselves with our true purpose.

Tonight's full moon offers us an opportunity for clarity, healing, and manifestation. Set your intentions under its radiant beams, visualize your dreams taking shape, and trust in the universe's divine guidance.

As we bask in the moon's ethereal light, let us honor the cycles of nature and the infinite possibilities they bring. May this full moon illuminate your path, awaken your spirit, and fill your heart with peace and abundance.

Join us in celebrating the magic of tonight's full moon. Take a moment to step outside, gaze upon the night sky, and feel the gentle embrace of its celestial energy. 🌕🙏

Hey! I have an exciting announcement. For a long time I have been thinking about doing a blog. For personal reasons, for yoga reasons.

This New Moon, also known as the "Dark Moon," carries a powerful energy. It's a time for introspection, for diving deep into the shadows, and for planting the seeds of our dreams with intention and purpose.

In the tapestry of spiritual traditions, the New Moon holds a special place for manifestation and setting intentions. It's a blank canvas where we can paint our aspirations and desires, trusting in the universe to nurture them into reality.

Let's remember the cyclical nature of life as we embrace this lunar phase. Just as the moon waxes and wanes, our lives follow a rhythm of growth, transformation, and renewal. In the darkness of the New Moon, we find the promise of light and the infinite possibilities that lie ahead.
