Yoga Santosha, Calgary Let your contentment blossom At Yoga Santosha we believe that Yoga is about community.
(280)

Through a variety of yoga styles designed for all levels, we create and hold a space that invites people to connect with one another and an opportunity to be their authentic self. Our instructors encourage personal exploration, non-attachment to outcome and present moment awareness. We offer the Great Yoga Wall, Ashtanga Yoga, Flow Yoga, Yin/Yang Yoga, Hot Yoga, Yoga Barre, Rollax, Warm Hips and Hamstrings, Warm Yin/Restorative, Yin Restorative with Nidra. All of which use a combination of movement and posture synchronized with the breath. Strength, flexibility, stamina and complete relaxation are developed along with balance and concentration. We believe in fostering the practice not only within the physical body but the heart, soul and mind as well. There are many free 2 hours spots available on side streets and we have $2 parking inside the indoor car lot located on 18th avenue on the side of the studio.

Have you ever noticed how hard it is to quiet the mind, even when you want to?

Thoughts keep moving. One leads to another. Even when you try to settle, something pulls your attention away.

The fluctuations of the mind are stilled through practice and non-attachment.

Practice brings consistency.
Non-attachment creates space.

Together, they begin to soften the pull of the mind.

Practice builds steadiness. Returning again and again. Noticing when the mind wanders and gently bringing it back.

Non-attachment softens the grip. Letting thoughts come and go without needing to hold onto them or push them away.

Together, they create space. Not by stopping the mind, but by changing the relationship to it.

Congrats YIN YTT grads โœจ

Best poem to capture it all by by Sandra โค๏ธ

To yoga to yoga to yoga we go
For maybe some yin or maybe some flow

Check in at the studio is always a breeze
And lets you glide into your classes with ease

The vibe at Santosha is filled with much love
Where everyoneโ€™s welcome
And fits like a glove

So find your place on your mat
And set your intention
Sometimes hard to choose
And too many to mention

Try to leave your monkey mind at the door,
sit still on your mat and your bum on the floor

Yin is in and our path for a while
Finding our edge with goldilocks as our guide

Allowing stillness in discomfort and committing to hold
You might even feel some fascia Iโ€™m told

Thank you Lisa and Candace for sharing your
wisdom and time;
But I suck as a poet and have to finish this rhyme

So sit up tall and hands in prayer to your chest
With gratitude to have been here and not just as a guest

Thank you to all for your care and grace
And sharing your energy in this beautiful space

Now the time has come to get on your feet
But maybe weโ€™re lucky and thereโ€™ll be a retreat

For now, Just One more ohm and itโ€™s time to go home.

Thank you, grads, for leading with your light and helping shape what Santosha is.

Equal light. Equal dark. Balance.

And still, for most of us, we pull away from the dark.

Maybe itโ€™s because weโ€™ve learned to see light as clarity and ease.

The richness is in both. Centre doesnโ€™t come from choosing one over the other.

Centre shows up when both have space to be here.

May today be a reminder to honour both ๐ŸŒ“โ˜€๏ธ

As Norouz, the Persian New Year approaches, a time of renewal, light, and new beginnings, we are reminded that even after the longest winter, the sun rises again.

Sara and Soroush are such a heartfelt part of this community, and we love them dearly. We know they are holding so much while continuing to show up here with all of us, while having family in Iran they cannot reach beyond their hearts. Right now Iran is under a near-total internet blackout, making it very difficult for many families to reach one another.

We also know there are others in this community walking a similar path. Though we cannot walk it for you, please know that we see you and we care.

Letโ€™s show up for our practice.
Letโ€™s show up for meditation.
Letโ€™s stand together, hold hands, and chant for the light to come through.

We are here. Together.
And we will keep doing what we can from where we are
until the sun rises again.

Memory is the retention of past experiences.

The mind holds onto impressions. A smell drifts by and suddenly you are back in a childhood kitchen. A song begins and the mind returns to a moment long gone. Someone says something and your body tightens before you even realize the words echo an old argument. The moment has passed, yet the mind remembers and the body responds.

International Womenโ€™s Day ๐Ÿค

We celebrate the women who soften rooms simply by being in them,
the women who ask the hard questions and are willing to speak up,
the women who lead with strength, clarity, and grace.

We celebrate the women who fumble and stumble, who soar and stretch, and who keep showing up.

The women who are authentically themselves and know there is no such thing as perfection.
The women who understand that evolving, finding their footing, and rising again are part of the process.
Part of the growth.
Part of shaping a world where everyone belongs.

May every woman feel seen, safe, and deeply valued
on the mat,
in her body, mind, heart, and soul
and in this world.

Throwback to the day Lara gifted her time at a local school where Jackie teaches.

Watching Lara share sound with the students was such a beautiful reminder of the healing power of vibration, presence, and care. The bowls, the resonance, the stillness that follows. A gift to witness.

So much happens behind the scenes in our community. Teachers showing up for one another. Offering their gifts beyond studio walls. Carrying this practice into schools, families, and everyday life.

Lara, thank you for the medicine of sound.

Jackie, thank you for holding space for the next generation.

We are so grateful for both of you and so lucky you are part of the heart of Santosha.

Sound healing can be found at both our studio spaces ๐Ÿ’•

We have one more space available in this circle.

Our 50 Hour Yin Teacher Training begins Friday, February 27.

Settle into stillness.
Explore depth.

Lived experience becomes the teacher. Explore compression and tension, yin and yang, connective tissue, fascia, meridian theory, and the nervous system. Learn how to sequence for personal practice and how to guide others safely and skillfully.

Candace and Lisa hold a grounded, sacred container where breathwork, meditation, inquiry, and practice are woven throughout. Nothing rushed. Nothing forced. Space to soften and learn from what arises.

Let the practice meet you โœจ
Allow each pose to meet your body in this moment. Move in conversation with your breath, your energy, and what is present today.

Strength grows through listening.
Resilience emerges through steady presence.
Discernment develops as you learn to feel clearly and respond with a deeper clarity.

Each time you meet yourself honestly, capacity expands. Trust deepens. The body and mind organize in ways that support you from within.

Practice becomes a place of connection, understanding, and growth.

Begin exactly here โค๏ธ

Yoga, at its โค๏ธ, turns us toward ourselves.

Practice brings us closer to the place within us that loves honestly, steadily, and without condition.

We are invited to meet ourselves as we are.
Not only the parts that feel strong and certain, but the parts that are tender, uncertain, and the parts of ourselves we may have turned away from, waiting to be seen and welcomed back into wholeness.

We learn to stay.
To listen.

And we do not do this alone.
Practice unfolds within connection, within community, within shared space where we are seen, supported, and reminded of who we are.

From there, love becomes something we embody. Something we live. Something we share freely, whether with ourselves, or alongside another.

You are worthy of that love.
Not someday. Not once youโ€™ve changed or improved.
Worthy, as you are.

May your practice remind you of the love that begins within and naturally extends outward.

Happy Valentineโ€™s Day โค๏ธ

Standing in samasthitihi (equal standing)
A place to meet ourselves and to remember โค๏ธ
A place to arrive exactly where we are, within that where we have been, and within that where we are becoming โœจ

In equal standing, we gather ourselves into balance.
Weight evenly shared. Attention evenly held. Presence evenly embodied.

From this place of integration, we stand like a mountain.
Steady. Awake. Whole.

Samastitihi reminds us that before we rise, we first arrive.
We find our truth and our voice.
And in that equal standing, we grow into the wisdom of being exactly here. โœจ

Nadi Shodhana is a steadying breath practice rooted in balance. Ida and Pingala. Moon ๐ŸŒ– and Sun โ˜€๏ธ Cooling and warming energies moving alongside one another.

As we move into the week, and as we move through life, this practice offers a way to support the nervous system and return to centre. Sometimes because things feel busy or loud, and sometimes simply because itโ€™s time to pause and remember.

To practice, find a comfortable seat. Use whichever hand feels most comfortable. Let the index and middle fingers rest gently between the eyebrows, at centre.

First take a breath through both nostrils and then block the right and exhale through the left. Stay for the inhale and then block the left nostril and exhale through the right.
Remain on the right for the inhale.
Block the right nostril and exhale through the left.

Continue for several rounds, always blocking on the exhale and remaining on the same side for the inhale.

The breath moves slowly and deliberately. Nothing is forced. Nothing is rushed.

Nadi Shodhana reminds us that balance is something we tend to, again and again, one breath at a time.
