What do Yoga & Stoicism have in common?! 🧘‍♀️🛡️

At first glance, they look like two totally different worlds — one on the mat, one in ancient philosophy books (or via modern writers and teachers like Ryan Holiday.)

But when you look closer… they’re speaking the same language of presence, discipline, and inner steadiness.

Both Yoga and Stoicism teach us how to:
✨ Pause before reacting
✨ Observe our mind without getting swept away
✨ Strengthen self-awareness
✨ Build resilience in the face of stress
✨ Live with intention, not impulse
✨ Return to what we can control (our breath, our thoughts, our actions)

Yoga - the body, breath & mindfulness.
Stoicism - reflection and reason.
Both guide us back to the calm, grounded version of ourselves.

If you’re curious about Stoic tools you can integrate into your yoga and wellness practice, check out Daily Stoic — a fantastic resource blending ancient wisdom with modern life:

Tell me — do you weave philosophy or intention into your practice - or BOTH?

How has yoga supported your mindset lately? 💬🙏✨

🍂 Thanksgiving Monday Yoga @ 10AM at Better Balance Wellness with Alana🧘‍♀️

It’s the end of the long weekend — and the perfect time to pause, move, and set your intentions for the week, month (and season) ahead.

What to expect?!
🍂 Vinyasa “Flow” filled with gratitude, grounding, and connection
💆‍♀️ Optional: Aromatherapy & Mini-Massage
🎵 Curated playlist
📖 A Thanksgiving Pause

A little gift… 🍂 A Thanksgiving Pause:

As the world begins to slow and the air turns soft and golden, we’re reminded to pause — to breathe, to feel, to give thanks.

Gratitude isn’t just a thought — it’s a way of being and a feeling in our heart.
It’s the warmth in a quiet moment, the steadiness beneath our feet, the shared breath & energy that connects us all.

This Thanksgiving, may you find space to ground, to open your heart, and to reconnect — with yourself, with nature, and with those you love most.
Take a deep breath in…
and whisper softly,
thank you. 🍂

Join us tomorrow to flow together, breathe deeply, and give thanks for all that is — in our bodies, our lives, and our community.

And if you can’t join us in person - please share some kindness for others here in this post. 🙏

✨ Beginners welcome
✨ New to the studio? Your first class is FREE!
✨ Members – thank you for your ongoing support and presence 🧡

We look forward to seeing you soon!!
