What we call ’I’ is just a swinging door, which moves when we inhale and when we exhale. ~Shunryu Suzuki Namaste, Yogis!
Half way through October! Are you "fall"ing in love with your practice this season? (very punny) For the rest of this month, we are going to explore Savasana. They say it's the most important pose, but why? Savasana, meaning "corpse pose" is a pose of active rest. It is the pose we return to at the end of each practice once we've done our work. The body, mind, and spirit have an opportunity now to actively rest, restore, and reground. But this is not where savasana ends. The most important component of savasana is that we are preparing the body, mind, and spirit to rise again, totally renewed, totally refreshed, totally ready to face the journey ahead. The practice itself is there for savasana. We are preparing the body to be renewed and refreshed, welcoming what we need and releasing what we don't. So the next time you settle into that final pose, truly give yourself the opportunity to let the work and the practice settle, so that you can rise, ready to manifest your truest path.
Thank you for reading! There's news and A LOT events added this month, so be sure to check on any updates! |

In addition, we will welcome Amanda Chou as a Guest Teacher! - Th. October 24th 6pm Energy Flow
One summer in grad school, Amanda decided to try a hot power vinyasa class in the style of Baron Baptiste. From there, she was hooked. Amanda’s passion for yoga was sparked by the ability to lose herself in the practice and to fall into the present. The intense yoga practice with which she had fallen in love gave her a reason to start taking care of herself by getting more sleep, drinking more water, and eating healthier. As yoga started changing her life, she started noticing the words her teachers were telling her on her mat were starting to creep into other aspects of her life. In 2014, Amanda finished her 200-hour teacher training at Tribal Yoga, an affiliate of Rolf Gates Vinyasa Teacher Training. The philosophy and power of yoga have helped to pull her through periods of stress and anxiety and she successfully finished her PhD shortly after her teacher training. An eternal student, Amanda is constantly studying different aspects and types of yoga to deepen her understanding of the practice. It is her hope to apply what she learns to help her students as best as she possibly can. Amanda has taken mentorships with Meaghan de Roos at Breathe Yoga Center in yoga anatomy with Dr. Ariele Foster, DPT. Her interests have led her to weekend workshops with Jason Crandell and Rolf Gates and lunar AcroYoga immersions. She tries to incorporate all facets of wellness ranging from myofascial release to essential oils to just paying attention to your own body! Her classes are meant to be instructive but are always open to a little lighthearted fun. |
