True Love Yoga

Have you found yourself in Evy’s classes lately?
If not, now is the time to tap into a sense of Lion-Heartedness and join the fun!

🎤Here’s what Evy had to say about her classes this week!
“We are working on building fire and strength in our upper bodies this Leo season. For 5 weeks, we are opening our hearts, building muscles in our arms-shoulders-upper backs, and building heat.
When we strengthen muscles we usually forget about, we let overworked muscles relax. After class today, a student commented on how he hadn’t realized how tight his glutes had been, but now felt release and relief from pain.”

☀️ Summer Yin & Yang ☯️
~ Join Us for a Transformative Summer Yin & Yang Yoga Workshop
Date: August 3rd, 2024
Time: 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Location: True Love Yoga Studio
Instructor:

☀️Workshop Overview:
Embrace the balance of Summer with our Summer Yin & Yang Yoga Workshop, designed to invigorate and soothe your body and mind. This 90-minute session is perfect for those looking to experience a harmonious blend of both active and restorative yoga practices.
☯️Class Breakdown:
First 60 Minutes (Yang): We will ignite our inner fire with a dynamic and vigorous asana practice. Expect to build heat and challenge yourself with a series of energizing postures that will get your heart pumping and muscles working.
Final 30 Minutes (Yin): After we’ve built up energy, we’ll transition into a calming, grounding Yin practice. You’ll find stillness and stretch deeply in long-held postures designed to soothe and release tension, bringing a perfect balance to your practice.

This workshop is ideal for yogis who favor an active (Yang) practice but are curious about the benefits of slower (Yin) postures, and vice versa. It’s also a great opportunity for students of all levels to deepen their understanding of how these two styles can complement each other in a single, balanced practice.

We are so excited to have .ali.mob back on schedule here at TLY!

~ Join us for Hatha + Qi Gong Tuesdays at 7:15PM ~

Hatha + Qi Gong
Beginner-Friendly This class starts with Qi Gong, an age-old practice that harnesses the power of breath, movement, and intention setting to create health and balance within the body. Then move into hatha-style yoga. Hatha Yoga encourages proper alignment of the body and brings balance, strength, flexibility, and calmness to the practitioner.

🎆 There’s nothing e we love more than freedom of choice, on and off the mat!🎆

This Fourth of July, let’s honor the spirit of freedom and liberation in our yoga practice. 🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏽

At True Love Yoga, we cherish the freedom of choice, allowing each yogi to adapt their practice to what feels right for them. Whether you seek strength, serenity, or self-discovery, your journey is uniquely yours. 🌟✨

As we celebrate Independence Day, let’s also celebrate the independence and liberation we find within ourselves. Embrace your authentic path, make choices that resonate with your heart, and enjoy the boundless possibilities that yoga offers. 🌈💖

🌞 Embrace July with Ayurveda!

Stay cool and balanced this summer with these five Ayurvedic tips:

1. **Cooling Diet**: Eat foods like cucumbers and watermelon, and stay hydrated with mint or hibiscus tea.
2. **Morning Rituals**: Start your day with a cooling coconut oil self-massage (abhyanga) to soothe the skin and calm the mind.
3. **Herbal Allies**: Use cooling herbs like aloe vera, coriander, and fennel to reduce internal heat and support digestion.
4. **Gentle Exercise**: Opt for yoga or Tai Chi during cooler times of the day to stay active without overheating.
5. **Aromatherapy**: Diffuse essential oils like sandalwood, lavender, or rose to cool and relax the mind and body.
