MARLA’S ONLINE YOGA: Fall 2025
I can’t believe the crisp fall air is finally here! This is a stark contrast to the extreme heat and humidity that characterized most of the summer. The change in the weather is a clear reminder of how nothing stays the same. Just as the seasons shift inevitably, so too do our lives, reminding us that change is a constant we must learn to accept. This idea comes from Buddhist teachings on impermanence. Our tendency to resist change is what causes suffering, known as dukkha. Through our practice together, we discover tools that help us follow the Buddha’s Fourth Noble Truth—a path that leads us toward peace and ease.
This session will take us through to the Holiday season and will feature 4 classes per week. All classes are live-streaming and in real time (eastern) via Zoom. I will provide links to some pre-recorded classes for the rare occasion I am unable to teach or find a suitable substitution.
CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:
• YIN YOGA & MEDITATION: A deep plunge into the practice of stillness and surrender. This is a profound and powerful practice which aims to harmonize and balance all aspects of our being. Concluding with a period of guided meditation ensures an unwinding of stress and reorientation towards peace and serenity.
• GENTLE, THERAPEUTIC & MINDFUL: A yoga class mindfully practiced with the intention of enhancing strength, endurance, stability and mobility to optimize functional movement. This approach also aims to balance the nervous system, calm the mind and encourage the flow of life force.
• YIN YOGA: This passive yoga style encourages relaxation and stimulates energy systems through stillness and silence, promoting mental calm and emotional resilience.
• MARLA’S MIX: With experience across multiple Yoga disciplines, Marla thoughtfully designs each class by integrating various practices to promote a sense of wellbeing and vitality.
