Back bending poses build strength and open the chest. They also activate the heart center, which can help us perceive the world in a new way.

Join Cathy on Sunday, September 21, from 11 am - 12:30 pm to explore this practice.

How many ways do you use the new column and ropes? The teachers have been having fun with them during our practice sessions.

Doing inversions after standing poses is a wonderful way to relax your legs and bring fresh circulation of oxygenated blood to the brain.

This variation of headstand is a safe alternative for practitioners with neck vulnerabilities or for anyone wanting a different way to go upside down. Try it for yourself with Cathy on Sunday, September 7, from 11 am - 12:30 pm.

September 1st begins geological fall (as opposed to calendar fall, which begins on 9/21).The last day of August is a good time for a restorative practice that will quiet our nervous systems and prepare us for the new season of many changes. We can observe and take in the effects on our bodies, minds, and breath, which can direct us towards the conscious choices aimed to reveal our highest good.

Say goodbye to August tomorrow with Cathy, August 31, from 11 am - 12:30 pm.

We've said it before and we will say it again (and again, and again...) - props are an incredible way to support and explore your practice. That's why we strive to find ways to add props to the studio, like the new post and ceiling ropes.

In this pose, Ned is using the post to help straighten his leg and for deepening the hip rotation.

If you want to spend dedicated time exploring all the we have in studio, come to one or both days of our Weekend Prop workshop October 11 & 12. More information at www.iyavl.com/special-events (link in bio).

A yoga practice offers us many opportunities to focus our attention on what is needed to balance our mental state. How we use the breath and the organs of perception can teach us to cultivate the desired state of mind.

Back bending poses can be done in a way that helps us notice the “stillness” amidst the action. Action and stillness are not opposites, but can be practiced in a way that brings awareness to and incorporates both qualities.

Explore these qualities with Cathy tomorrow, Sunday, August 17, from 11 am - 12:30 pm.

Being present in body, mind, and breath helps us open to light, love, and peace. A forward bending practice can allow us to maintain inner stability in times of trouble.

Join Cathy on Sunday, August 10, from 11 am - 12:30 pm for some much needed inner peace.

We aren't exaggerating when we say kirtan can be transformative. In a world where many are shamed for sharing their voices, gathering together to sing without judgments on "good" or "bad" can be liberating.

Have you participated in kirtan before? What are your reflections on the practice?

In a yoga practice we explore the body, mind, and the breath--and how they influence one another. In a class that focuses on standing poses, we primarily start with the body and observe how it effects our state of mind and the breath.

In the practice of backward extensions, it is important to keep the lumbar spine long and curl from the dorsal spine. This brings awareness to the back and front of the heart center where the seat of the soul is found in the body.

Join Cathy this Sunday, July 20, from 11 am-12:30 pm.
