Every year around my birthday, I find myself wanting to spread the love a little more intentionally.

Some people have birthday weeks(Gemini, Leo, Sag - you get me)

Somewhere along the way, the week leading up to my birthday became Kandicemas. It's a little season of celebrating, giving, and remembering that each of us creates our own ripples in the world.

And to be clear, Kandicemas is not exclusive. You are absolutely welcome to have your own “-mas” around your birthday. In fact, I highly encourage it😁

There is something beautiful about affirming the annual celebration of your own life by pouring love into others.

This year, we’re bringing some of that celebration energy into the studio.

💫💫The week of June 1–7 will be our Member Appreciation Week at Sangha, and we’ll be celebrating those who make Sangha what it is all month long in small and meaningful ways.

Not an unlimited or premium member, but joining for classes? Not to worry, we love and celebrate you too!

Because truly, the community is what makes the studio feel alive, and I am so grateful to steward it.

We’ll begin with Blue Moon Bloom on May 31, a singing bowls experience and fundraiser supporting our Human Trafficking Advocacy Initiative. Half of everything we bring in will support mothers and children in the red light districts of Kolkata.

It is the perfect way to begin the season: rest, beauty, community, and giving back.

Did I mention there will be very special cacao?

Here's the Blue Moon Bloom Registration Link https://sanghayoga.as.me/?appointmentType=93144201

More details are coming, but for now, whether your a member or soon to be member - mark your calendar and be sure to sign up for practices in June. I’ve got some special surprises along the way for members and non-members alike.

Kandicemas is coming to Sangha, and I’m so excited to pour extra love into the people who make this space what it is.

This next event is going to be a beautiful once-in-a-blue-moon kind of evening.

On Sunday, May 31, we’re gathering at 7pm for Blue Moon Bloom: Cacao + Sound Journey — an outdoor evening of chilled cacao, breathwork, meditation, singing bowls, connection, and meaningful giveback.

We’ll gather in Austin at 7:00 p.m. and officially close around 8:30 p.m., with space to leave slowly and gently.

This year, instead of centering our annual outdoor cacao experience around the Solstice, I’ve decided to dedicate it to our Human Trafficking Advocacy Initiative. Half of everything we bring in for this event will go directly toward HTAI, supporting survivors of human trafficking and mothers and children in the red-light districts of Kolkata.

So far, our community has already raised over $1,000 toward our $5,000 goal, and my hope is that this gathering will help us make a meaningful next contribution together.

That is part of what makes this evening feel so special to me.

Yes, it will be beautiful and nourishing. We’ll gather outside, share chilled cacao, settle into breathwork and meditation, and let the sound of the bowls and grounding instruments move through the body.

AND we’ll also be doing something good together.

There is something powerful about leaving an experience not only feeling rested and more connected to yourself, but also knowing that your presence helped support something larger than you.

This is community care in both directions. We get to receive, gather and make a difference together.

Reserve your spot here (members and potential members read on):

This month at Sangha we're working with Dharana, or cultivated focus, through the lens of balance. We’re practicing balance physically, of course, and we’re also exploring how focus and balance show up in our day-to-day lives, both on and off the mat, especially in the nervous system.

When we talk about regulation, I think a lot of people imagine that it means being calm all the time. Like if we’re “doing well,” we should feel peaceful, steady, and unbothered no matter what.

That’s not really it.

Regulation is not about never being challenged or never feeling activated, overwhelmed, frustrated, or thrown off. It’s about our ability to stay aware when we are challenged, and our ability to re center so that we can thoughtfully respond instead of reacting from habit or instinct.

That’s part of why balance work is so valuable.

In a balancing posture, we’re not usually learning how to be perfectly still. We’re learning how to notice. We’re learning how quickly we tense, brace, check out, or judge ourselves. And then, with practice, we start to learn how to return.

That is nervous system work.

And honestly, for some of us, being disregulated can feel more familiar than being settled. So part of life's practice is not only learning how to come back into regulation, but also learning how to tolerate being there. Learning how to be with steadiness. Learning how to trust it.

Yoga practice gives us a place to explore that.

Every time you pause and breathe instead of rushing, wobble and reset instead of quitting, or notice yourself reacting and choose to stay present, you are practicing more than a pose. You are practicing relationship with your own system. Teaching yourself the skill of remaining calm and focused. You are also beginning to uncover what actually helps you feel balanced. Skills that are valuable long after you've left your mat.

Something to notice this week:
When you feel challenged, physically or emotionally, what helps you come back?

Is it breath?
Slowing down?
Grounding through your feet?
Stepping away for a moment?
Softening your jaw or your belly?

Notice so you can begin to understand what support actually feels like in your body.

Maybe you've heard me using the model of the Platinum Triangle(body, mind, energy) to care for ourselves, and truly live a life that feels brilliant and beautiful. One of my favorite offerings to help you do that is the Aligned container - it's a personal podcast where we explore new tools to support your life each month.

Aligned exists to help you create a steadier rhythm, stay connected to yourself, in a real way.

Inside Aligned, we explore practices and teachings that support the full self. Not just the physical body, but the mind and the energy body too. It’s a place to come back to yourself again and again. A place to reflect, regulate, reconnect, and move with more intention through your actual life.

Our April Deep Dive will take place April 15–17, and it’s one of my favorite parts of the month. It gives us a chance to go deeper together instead of just collecting inspiration and moving on. We get to actually work with the material. We get to integrate.

If you’ve been wanting support that feels personal, thoughtful, and grounding, I would love to welcome you in. Send me a dm or see the comments.

If you’re already a member at Sangha and haven’t stepped into Aligned yet, this is your reminder that you already have access to something really beautiful.

This month at the studio, we’ve been working with Dharana, or cultivated focus, and I’ve been thinking a lot about how much this matters outside of the practice space too.

It’s easy to think of focus as something that belongs to meditation or balance postures, but really, it’s part of how we live. It shows up in what we return to throughout the day, what we give our energy to, what we let pull us away, and what we choose to stay with.

Where our attention goes, our energy follows.

If your attention is scattered all day, you feel scattered. If your attention is constantly pulled toward stress, comparison, or urgency, that shapes the way you feel in your body too. And if you begin practicing returning your attention, even gently, you start to experience more steadiness.

That’s part of why this month’s theme feels so useful to me. We’re not trying to become people who focus perfectly. We’re simply practicing noticing where our attention is going and learning how to bring it back to what matters.

That can happen in vrksasana(Tree pose) or ekapadasana (Warrior III).
It can also happen while you’re answering emails, making dinner, or deciding whether to reach for your phone again.

Something to notice this week:
Where is your attention going most often right now?

And then ask yourself one more question:
Is that supporting the kind of life you actually want to be living?

You do not have to overhaul everything all at once. But noticing is powerful. And practicing return is powerful too.

That’s part of what yoga gives us.

When I decided to follow my heart and build a business around the work I feel most called to offer, I knew I wanted it to be about more than yoga.

I wanted it to mean something.

This year at Sangha, one of the ways that meaning is deepening is through our support of the HTAI, which serves women and children in the red light districts of Kolkata and helps connect them with resources that support a better life.

Giving back as a yoga studio in this way feels deeply meaningful. Yoga has given so much to so many of us who practice. To let some of that goodness ripple outward feels important, honest, and appropriate.

Because this work has never been just about fitness. It has always been about supporting the whole human. Body, mind, and energy. It has always been about community. About care that feels real.

And this is one of the things I love most about the community we’ve co-created at Sangha. We get to enjoy what we’re building here while also letting it benefit people beyond our immediate circle.

This month, that happens to include a very delicious opportunity.

If you’re local and want to be part of it, send me a message.

There’s a reason March feels like this.

Kapha season is here, which means many of us feel heavier, slower, foggier, and less motivated than usual. The answer is not to fight that energy. It’s to work with it skillfully.

That’s exactly what we’re doing at Sangha this month through our theme of Prana and Direction. We’re creating circulation, building momentum, and helping energy move again through breath-led, intentional practice.

And if you’re ready for the highest level of support, this is what our Premium Membership is for.

You get the strength and consistency of Soar and Flow, plus grounding studio classes like Hatha and Lunar Flow. It’s a high-touch membership designed to help you stay in rhythm and supported through seasons exactly like this.

We have 2 spots left.
Message me if one of them should be yours. Or hop into the comments for more options!

You’re holding a lot.

Maybe you care deeply about living well. Maybe you want to feel better in your body, steadier in your mind, more connected in your spirit. Maybe you’ve already been trying in the ways you can. A class here. A reset there. A promise to yourself that you’ll make more space soon.

But wanting to care for yourself should not feel like one more pressure point.

That’s why I created the Premium Membership.

This is for the woman who is ready for a more supported way of living. Not more pressure. Not one more thing to get right. Better support. Real support. The kind that helps your wellbeing become part of your actual life.

Inside Premium, you receive:

Unlimited yoga classes
Access to at least 4 Soar & Flow practices each month
Access to Aligned
2 friend passes each month
Access to select events throughout the year
A welcome gift in your first month
Occasional surprise gifts along the way

And because this is Sangha, your membership is part of something larger. This community believes care creates ripples. Into your own life, into the lives of the people around you, and into the wider world through the causes and initiatives we support, including our human trafficking advocacy work.

There are currently 2 spots left at $150/month before the rate increases to $175/month.

If this feels like the kind of support you’ve been craving, send us a DM for the link or follow the link in the comments

When I created SOAR & FLOW, I knew I wanted a class that wasn’t just “hard”… but deeply supportive.

A class that understood the body as a system.
A class that built strength without burnout.
A class that honored yoga and the science of functional movement.

And honestly… that’s the heart of Sangha.

We’re not a one-size-fits-all fitness studio.
We’re a one-to-few community where your body, your capacity, and your nervous system matter.
Where strength, mobility, breath, and stability all live together.

SOAR & FLOW is one of the clearest expressions of that.

Most people notice:

• better balance
• improved core engagement
• less low-back discomfort
• deeper presence in their yoga practice
• more confidence in how they move through life

And my favorite part?
It feels good.
Like really good.

If you’ve been wanting a class that makes you stronger, more resilient, and more connected to your body…

This is your sign.

SOAR & FLOW at Sangha
Small group. Real strength. Real support.

If yoga has changed your life, giving back is part of the practice.

This year we’re putting that belief into motion at Sanghs through our Human Trafficking Advocacy Initiative.
This is a way for our studio to grow, not just in numbers, but in how we choose to show up for the world around us as a community.

For me, yoga has never been separate from service. The teachings that have shaped my life come from the soil, the stories, and the people of India. It matters that we give something meaningful back.

So this year, Sangha is stepping into intentional service. Month by month. Offering by offering. Act by act.

Our first project begins tomorrow.
Erin from Wild Violet Crystals generously donated handmade bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and keychains, and every dollar raised goes directly to support safe housing, education, and advocacy in the red light districts of Kolkata.

It’s simple.
You get something beautiful to carry with you.
Someone across the world gets a little more safety, dignity, and possibility.

If you’re in town, you can pick yours up before or after class.
If you’re out of town and still want to support, message me. I’ll show you what’s available and ship it for a small fee.

When you support Sangha, you’re not just supporting a local studio.
You’re contributing to a ripple that carries far beyond our walls.
All year. Every year.

Here we go.

I just got off a call with the other women leading the Human Trafficking Advocacy Initiative (HTAI)… and I’m honestly feeling so lit up.

This is a group of powerful, steady, devoted women leading communities across the globe and braiding their work together for something bigger than any one studio, any one city.

And this year, Sangha is part of that braid.

If you’ve been around, you already know this has been introduced a couple of times. But being on that call today made it real in a new way. It’s international. It’s organized. It’s consistent. A very special long-haul commitment.

And I felt so proud that we said yes.

India has given me so much. The teachers who shaped me. The lineage that informs everything I teach. The devotion and sacred study that lives underneath our practices. Every time you study here, whether it’s a 200-hour, an online cohort, a one-off event, or your regular weekly class, you are already receiving something that was born there.

This year, we give back.

Our goal as a studio community is to raise $5,000 for HTAI in 2026. Supporting safe housing, education, advocacy, and recovery efforts for women and children in the red light districts of Kolkata.

Children who are dropped off because families cannot care for them.
Children whose mothers are forced into trafficking and need safe places while they work.
Children who deserve protection, education, stability.

It’s amazing how far a dollar stretches in Kolkata.

And it won’t just be one big moment in November (though that will be beautiful). We’re braiding this through the entire year. Through trainings. Through events. Through small, meaningful opportunities that allow us to participate again and again as a community.

Next week is our first.

A generous woman from our own community has donated handmade gemstone jewelry — tiger’s eye, peridot, precious woven bracelets, holistic-feeling earrings, even playful crystal keychains. They’ll be available in the studio starting next week by suggested donation.

Every single dollar goes directly to HTAI.

You get something beautiful.
You gift something meaningful.
And someone else receives housing, education, and advocacy.

This spring, our 200-hour trainees will also be offering donation-based community practices with all proceeds supporting the same initiative.

When you practice here, you take care of yourself.
When you study here, you deepen your life.
And when you invest here, you’re part of something that gives back.

I can already feel how beautiful it will be. Not just because of the money we’ll raise, but because of the way it braids us together, the memories each beautiful offering will create.

Stay tuned. There is more coming. More opportunities. More ways to gather around this. More ways to participate.

For now, plan to book your class next week and come see the pieces.

I’m so proud of this community.
