Flourish Yoga and Wellness

Dear Flourish Yoga Community,

We hope this message finds you well. It is with a mix of sadness and gratitude that we write to inform you that our last class in our current location will be held on Saturday, December 16, 2023. Our current location is not financially sustainable and while we continue to look for a new home for our community we can no longer continue operations at our current location.

Flourish Yoga + Wellness opened its doors just a month before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been an incredible journey, marked by challenges such as multiple shutdowns and the constant navigation through the changes brought about by this historic event. Despite these hurdles, we are proud to have been a part of the Stow community, providing quality yoga instruction and wellness resources.

We are immensely grateful to you, our students, for joining us on this journey. Your support and enthusiasm have been the lifeblood of our studio. While we are sad to close this chapter, we are heartened by the connections and memories we have made together.

Regarding your memberships, all passes are set to not auto-renew, so there should be no issues with future billing. However, if you encounter any problems or have any billing inquiries, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Lastly, we will be hosting a studio sale after our closure, where you will have the opportunity to purchase merchandise and other items at significantly discounted prices. This will be a wonderful chance to take a piece of Flourish Yoga + Wellness home with you.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being an integral part of the Flourish family. Your presence and energy have truly made our studio a special place. Please continue to follow us on social media for updates!

With deepest gratitude,
Tracie + Liz
Flourish Yoga + Wellness

BREAKING DOWN THE POSE:

Half Moon Pose, also known as Ardha Chandrasana, is a standing balance posture that requires strength, flexibility, and focus. To get into the pose, start in Warrior II with your right foot forward. Straighten your right leg and shift your weight onto your right foot, placing your right hand on the ground or a block in front of your right foot. You may also rest your right forearm on a chair. Extend your left leg straight behind you, parallel to the ground, and reach your left arm up towards the ceiling. Keep your hips and chest open towards the side of the room and engage your core to maintain balance.

The benefits of Half Moon Pose include strengthening the legs, hips, and core, improving balance and coordination, increasing flexibility in the hamstrings and hips, and improving digestion and circulation. It can also help to relieve stress and anxiety, and improve focus and concentration. Remember to breathe deeply and hold the pose for several breaths before switching sides.

You'll feel more grounded and focused after this pose. Try it up against a wall for a supported version to help you focus on balance and strength.

The happiest hour of the week!

Join Sarah every Friday at 5:30pm for half price Happy Hour Yoga. You will leave feeling grounded and refreshed to help guide you into a peaceful and fun weekend!

Take time today to RELAX! Join our team for FREE community yoga on the lawn at Stow City Hall at 6pm! You can also join Sarah for a deeply nurturing and relaxing Restorative Session at the studio at 7:30pm! Find your center and let peace flow through you!

Today's post is dedicated to improving your sleep!

Yoga before bed has numerous benefits, including improved sleep quality and quantity. It helps reduce stress and anxiety, which can keep you up at night. Additionally, the gentle stretches and breathing exercises can release tension in your body and promote relaxation. Yoga also helps with digestion and can alleviate physical discomfort that may keep you awake. So, if you're looking for a natural way to improve your sleep, try incorporating this short yoga practice into your bedtime routine.

Do you practice before bed? What are some ways the you prepare for deep nurturing sleep?

One of our favorite yoga poses is Tadasana or Mountain Pose! This pose may seem simple but it has a huge impact on your nervous system. Stand tall and rooted to the ground, feeling your feet firmly planted beneath you. Reach your arms up towards the sky, lengthening your spine and taking deep breaths. Mountain pose is a great way to improve posture, increase focus, and connect with your body.

What is your favorite pose and why!?

Savasana, also known as Co**se Pose, is a relaxation pose that is often done at the end of a yoga practice. It allows the body to fully relax and release tension, while also calming the mind and reducing stress. Savasana can also improve focus, concentration, and overall well-being. By taking just a few minutes to practice Savasana, you can reap the benefits of a more relaxed and rejuvenated body and mind. All of our classes dedicate time for this deep rest to help you feel grounded and refreshed at the end of your practice!

Yoga is so many things! Join us today to experience the transformative power of yoga. Discover a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you.

🌟Happy Wellness Wednesday!🌟 Today, let's take a moment to talk about the effects of stress on our mind and body. Did you know that chronic stress can lead to a weakened immune system, high blood pressure, heart disease, anxiety, and depression, among other health issues?
But don't worry, there's a solution! Practicing yoga can help alleviate stress and reduce its negative impact on the body. Studies have shown that yoga has a positive effect on the mind-body connection, promoting a sense of calm and reducing stress levels.
Yoga combines physical postures, deep breathing, and meditation, which work together to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. This is the part of the nervous system responsible for rest and relaxation, allowing the body to heal and restore itself.
By practicing yoga regularly, you can help prevent illness and disease caused by stress and promote overall health and wellness. Join us at Flourish Yoga and Wellness for a yoga class that suits your needs, and let us guide you on the path to a healthier, stress-free life. You can even start tonight with our Yoga Basics class taught by our instructor, Lora!��
