Grounding is the practice of returning to the present moment. When the mind is racing or emotions feel intense, grounding helps the nervous system come back to a steadier place.

Here are a few yoga-centered grounding techniques you can use anytime:

1. Feet and floor
Stand or sit and press your feet gently into the ground. Feel the support beneath you. Take three slow breaths.
2. Longer exhales
Inhale gently through the nose. Exhale a little longer than you inhale. Repeat five times. Longer exhales help signal safety to the body.
3. Hand to heart, hand to belly
Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly. Breathe slowly, as you feel the movement under your hands also feel the pressure of your hands on your body.
4. Name what you feel
Silently name your emotion: Sad. Angry. Scared. Then, name how it feels: Tight. Restless. Heavy. Naming reduces overwhelm, lowers the activity in the emotional center in your brain, and can help increase clarity.
5. A simple yoga shape
Child’s pose, legs up the wall, or a supported seated fold can help the body feel contained and safe.

Start your Sunday with a little extra care for your body and mind.

Rest & Restore (Yin) Yoga is a slow, supportive class that focuses on gentle stretches held for several minutes to help release tension in the connective tissues and regulate the nervous system. It’s an ideal practice if you’re feeling stressed, burned out, or simply in need of a slower pace. For March, this class will be only $12.

Slow Flow & Stretch uses mindful movement that combines gentle flowing poses with deep stretches. This class helps improve flexibility, balance, and relaxation while encouraging you to slow down and reconnect with your breath.
Open to all levels.

NOTE: This is the last 9 am Rest & Restore (Yin) Yoga. This class remains on the schedule Thursday nights at 6:30 pm.

Balance is a skill, and like most skills, it becomes stronger through practice & repetition. It is also more than strong muscles, ankles, etc. Balance is influenced by the nervous system, the breath, the eyes, the core, and even how safe your body feels.

Here are a few ways to improve balance in a yoga-friendly, nervous-system-supportive way:

1. Slow down.
Speed often creates instability. Move slowly enough that your body can communicate with you.
2. Pick a steady gaze point (called a drishti).
Your eyes help your brain orient. Choose one spot and keep focused on it.
3. Breathe continuously.
Holding your breath increases tension. A steady breath helps the body soften so it can stabilize.
4. Use support without shame.
A wall, chair, or block does not mean you are “bad at balance.” Support is how confidence grows.
5. Engage your core gently.
Think of the core as support, not gripping. Over-effort can throw you off balance.
6. Expect wobbling.
Wobbling is not failure, it is feedback. Your nervous system is learning.
Balance on the mat mirrors balance in our lives.

Rather than think of wellness as one big category, we can consider it an interactive system that includes a variety of components of wellness. When one area feels strained, it often impacts the others, even if we cannot immediately name why. That is why the Wellness Wheel can be so helpful. It gives you a way to check in with the full picture by analyzing the parts.

The eight areas are:
🧘🏼‍♀️ Physical: movement, nourishment, sleep
♥️ Emotional: stress levels, coping skills, emotional processing & regulation
🔮 Spiritual: sense of meaning & purpose
💼 Occupational: satisfaction and balance with work life
💰Financial: present and future financial security
👭 Social: connection, belonging, support
🧠 Intellectual: learning, curiosity, creativity
⛰️ Environmental: a healthy space that supports your wellbeing
Think about each area for yourself:
Rate each from 1–10 based on how well you think each area is for you.

Notice which areas feel strong and which feel tender.

Choose one low area and ask: what is the smallest, kindest step I can take this week to move towards great wellbeing?

How does this connect to yoga? We often think of yoga as the physical poses we take but yoga also teaches us awareness, regulation, and self-care. If emotional wellness feels low, gentle movement and breath can help. If social wellness feels low, practicing in community can be deeply supportive. If physical wellness feels low, a consistent, compassionate practice can help you rebuild trust with your body.

You do not have to fix everything; just begin with awareness.

“Leaving was the healthiest thing I ever did and it basically cost me the whole room.” I felt that! 400 miles away and no contact with immediate family.

Related- the book Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents was eye opening for me. It really kicked off my journey of healing, and came during my ‘dark night of the soul.’

And also relatedly: I’ve wanted to do a book club focused more on personal development and healing at the studio - would anyone be interested?
