Soul Fitness La

Morning mantra is how we start the drive to school daily. For my girls (3 & 5), “Woohoo” at the end is a must! 😃 It gets them excited for the day ahead and it leaves them excited to do it again the next day.

This sweet little girl was only able to do the “woohoo” for the longest time as she has a speech delay. She has been hearing this since she as born as she would come along to drop the older sister to school. Now we’re happy to say that she can lead the whole mantra after hearing & repeating daily.

Teaching a toddler mantra meditation can offer several benefits:

1. **Calmness and Relaxation**: It can help your toddler learn how to calm themselves and relax, reducing anxiety and stress.
2. **Focus and Attention**: Practicing mantra meditation can improve their ability to concentrate and focus on tasks.
3. **Emotional Regulation**: It can aid in the development of emotional self-regulation, helping them manage their emotions better.
4. **Language and Memory Skills**: Repeating mantras can enhance language skills and memory retention.
5. **Early Mindfulness**: Introducing mindfulness practices early can foster a lifelong habit of self-awareness and inner peace.

However, it’s essential to keep sessions short and engaging, using simple mantras and making the experience enjoyable for the toddler.

Message from the Owner: Soul Fitness LA will be closing it’s doors on 10/19/2023. Let’s have 2 fun weeks! Come practice with our incredible instructors and take advantage of amazing closing sales to stock up on your yoga gear and yoga props.

This space has been very personal from day 1.

It's the space I created on my own as a fearless single woman and reflecting back now as a family of 4, it's the space that I experienced my family getting created and growing each year.

After announcing yesterday that we're closing after 7 years, it was brought to my attention how things naturally shift to a different direction every 7 years according to astrology. Which made perfect sense since we're closing the studio because my family and I are moving to TX, Dallas for my husband's work.

As the new chapter begins in TX for my little family, we're taking a big piece of South Bay in our hearts to keep forever as this is the birthplace for both my daughters, this is the studio that brought healing to me to spread to the community, this is the space where I saw yoga teachers create magic. This is the space that we believed that "if we're not changing lives here, then we're wasting our time".

Thank you South Bay for 7+ wonderful years of love. Because of your support from near and far, we got to do what we love the best. So much gratitude to amazing teachers, wonderful students, friends and family.

Thank you!

The term Svadhyaya literally means ‘one’s own reading’ or ‘self-study’. It is the fourth Niyama of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and has the potential to deepen our yoga practice way beyond the mat.

Practicing self reflection, observation and study of the self makes us more aware of the things we do that harm us, plus the things that serve us, bringing us in closer contact with our true self.

Svadhyaya also encourages us to further educate ourselves in whatever inspires and fascinates us, deepening our own knowlege.

How are you burning your morning fire☀️🔥

Tapas, or self-discipline, is one of the five niyamas in the 8 limbs of yoga. It refers to your inner fire — both the literal heat you build in a vigorous vinyasa practice and the inner fire of drive, passion, and courage.

The word santosha means “contentment” as well as “delight, happiness, joy.” It comes from an experience of acceptance—of life, of ourselves, and of whatever life has brought us.

When we are content, we are happy. Through the power of contentment, happiness becomes our choice.💖

Time to purify our bodies and minds to enter into the weekend energy!

👉The first niyama,
Shaucha is the yogic practice of cleanliness our external and internal world by means of physical, mental, and daily activities of our life. It literally refers to the purity of mind, body, and spirit.

👉Before any yoga practices get work for you, you should make sure the medium of yoga is completely clean and clear. Physically this medium could be your yoga room, clothes, mat, or other accessories you are using. While mentally, cleanliness refers to purity in your thoughts. Shaucha aims to the purity of these mediums.

Aparigraha – ‘non-greed’, ‘non-possessiveness’, and ‘non-attachment’. This important 5th Yama teaches us to take only what we need, keep only what serves us in the moment and to let go when the time is right. 

Time to check in with ourselves:
✅ Are there clothes in your closet that will be more useful by others?
✅ How much of the food you purchase goes to waste?
✅ Are you monopolizing anyone’s time? (Yoga Teacher’s after class, family, members, coworkers, etc..)
