ISHTA TT returns to Berlin this fall! I'm thrilled and proud this year to be sharing the stage with the wonderful at SVERA and sharing the magic of ISHTA teaching with a new generation of trainees.

Above some kind words from previous graduates :) Stay tuned for Open House, detailed signup and schedule info and more, coming soon!

Dear friends! A friend and colleague who's been hosting a Ukrainian family in Berlin for many months now urgently needs to find them new housing. It's three women, grandmother (61), daughter (34, also speaks English and is learning German) and 4-year-old granddaughter. They've already applied for WBS, and thus far social housing hasn't panned out, so it's time to broaden the search. Anything from their own flat to a new host family, and longer- or shorter-term, would be welcome. They are sociable, helpful and friendly :) If you have any ideas or possibilities, please contact me.

Thank you for your support, and while I know it's been a while, I'll be back with more Bija and teaching news soon!

Dear friends,
A few quick words and an invitation, or request about the possible future of Bija. Like many other indie spaces, Bija has been hit hard by the last two years, and needs to transform in order to survive and thrive. So I'm putting the word out there - anyone from new renting teachers to new owner-partners to non-yogis who might benefit from our lovely space are welcome. The sky's the limit 🌟 Please contact me at bijayogaberlin@gmail.com (&/or visit bijayogaberlin.com) if you're interested, or invite others to do so! With thanks and love, and open to all the possibilities the future holds. 💚 Julie

Hello my dears,

A reminder that today 18h Gentle class will NOT meet, and instead, in honour of Erster Mai a special long-form Restorative workshop is on offer 15-17h. There are still a few spaces left to attend! If you've been feeling tired, depleted or stressed, this is the perfect gift to rest deeply, reboot your nervous system and nourish and replenish  yourself. Come enjoy two luxurious hours of deep relaxation!

In-studio or via Zoom. Now open for Urban Sportslers as well via a 2x Free Training spot.

Your bolster awaits. Email bijayogaberlin@gmail.com to reserve your spot. See you soon on the mat!

Love,
Julie

Every Berlin winter, the day comes when the sun first truly shines, the clouds part, the ice melts (can you see it on the canal?), the citizens of the kiez (human and winged alike) pour out into the fresh air, and we truly know, rather than simply believe, that spring will come. This year, today is that day 🌞 Despite all the uncertainty, one cannot help but feel a lift; and how beautiful that it coincides with the final heart-opening Anahata class of this year's chakra cycle, reconnecting us to the eternal light of the individual spirit, and the sharing of that light with everyone around it.
Come spread the wings of your heart one more time in Gentle class, tonight at 6 on Zoom. ~ 💚 💙 J xx

Anahata, center of breath, of spirit, and of hope and bliss. Two more chances to open our hearts this weekend, tomorrow at 11h Int / Adv and Sunday 18h Gentle / Restorative. See you soon! From my heart to yours. ~ Julie

Manipura, the navel center or "city of gems", is about more than just heat, will and drive - it's also about getting aligned with our own radiant glow, our self-worth and sense of purpose, so those firey efforts align with our true nature more of the time.
Two more chances to play with fire this week :) tomorrow, Int / Adv at 11, and Gentle / Restorative, Sunday at 6. See you on the mat!

I was so glad to receive these messages from my this morning, and in this order. Conviction without knowledge can be profoundly destructive; and knowledge without belief can rob us of inspiration, love, understanding and joy.

While we've seen no shortage of proof of these truths this past year, it's also a timely topic for all of us in the wellness community, to remember how profoundly important the healthy marriage of these two is to our teaching and practice.

A great start to our Svadisthana week, as we step into the waters of ragas and dvesa and see where the flow of those instinctive wants and beliefs may be holding us back, and where they're leading us toward truth. See you soon on Zoom!
