“The soul is never born, and never dies.”
— Bhagavad Gita 2.20

Today we pause in remembrance.

We honor the brave souls whose lives shaped the freedoms we hold today.

The Gita reminds us that while the body changes and passes, the soul remains eternal — beyond fear, beyond loss, beyond time itself.

May this Memorial Day be a moment of gratitude, reflection, and deep peace.

🕊️🇺🇸

INTO STILLNESS 🌙✨
Bahamas Ashram Retreat
October 11–17, 2026

I am beyond excited (and deeply honored) to officially open registration for our Into Stillness Retreat at the Sivananda Ashram in Paradise Island, Bahamas.

This retreat is an invitation to pause, breathe deeply, reconnect spiritually, and return to yourself.

Together we’ll immerse in:
• Daily yoga & meditation
• Wisdom teachings from the Bhagavad Gita
• Sacred community
• Ocean swims & quiet mornings
• Simplicity, stillness, and nervous system reset

What makes this retreat especially meaningful is that our opening night falls on the FIRST night of Navaratri — the sacred 9-night celebration honoring the Divine Feminine, transformation, renewal, and awakening.

Beginning this journey together within that energy feels incredibly aligned and powerful. 🤍

And honestly… one of the things I’m MOST excited about:

This entire 7-day retreat experience starts around $1200 per guest (based on shared accommodations) — making this a genuinely accessible opportunity to experience an authentic Bahamas ashram retreat without the luxury retreat price tag.

If your soul has been asking for:
• rest
• clarity
• grounding
• spiritual reconnection
• simplicity
• healing community

…this may be your sign.

More details + registration here: https://www.downtownyogame.com/ashram-reset-bahamas.html

I would absolutely love to share this experience with you. 🌊🙏🏼

With love,
Ānandi

A sacred Navaratri retreat inspired by the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita.

𝐘𝐢𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐠𝐚 𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐠𝐚 ~ 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝟓:𝟑𝟎

Join me tonight at in Augusta for a class focused on FEET AND ANKLES. We all have weak, tight feet and ankles. The majority of us (I dare say all) also have lost range of motion in both.

Our feet and ankles are our foundation, affecting everything from knees to hips on upward. Tightness/weakness/pain/lost range of motion in feet and ankles can even cause knee, hip, or low back pain. Come give them some love. 💛

SPOILER ALERT! There will be some “special Dragons” in class tonight. 😍 As always, our class will also include somatic movement, stillness, and breath.

Yin Yoga is a therapeutic practice for all bodies. Come unwind with us. Please preregister for class through the MINDBODY app on your smart phone or on the DTY website at www.downtownyogame.com/yoga-schedule.

🌺 Happy Mother’s Day 🌺

Today we honor the many faces of the Mother —
the one who gave us life,
the one who holds the oceans and mountains,
the one who fiercely protects, nourishes, and awakens us.

To our earthly mothers, chosen mothers, grandmothers, mentors, and caretakers — thank you!
