There's something special about yoga friends ✨

Last week we took a yoga & hiking centered trip to Arizona.

Great memories were made 💚
Strength was built 💪
& a LOT was learned! ✨

Each time we get away, we love bringing back what we learned to the New Dawn Community through our weekly classes. 🫶

As always, thank you to Cat from for capturing so many moments so beautifully. 🥰

& thank you to Lindsay, Megan, Julia, Martin and Sarah for covering so many classes while we were gone!!

Allison learned a few new tricks during our recent trip to AZ during a yin class & she is excited to share them with you 🥰

We have a limited number of blankets here, so if you can, please grab one from home to bring with! If you can't - no worries - just use one of ours 🫶

Yesterday during Uplifting we talked about Mary Oliver's quote: "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

A quote that is often used to encourage productivity. To stress doing more - more - more.

When Mary's own answer to this question was to stroll idly through the fields, noticing things.

I was reflecting on this today & remembered this little bird from our trip to Anna Maria Island last September. We had a couple hours to stroll around the Ringling Grounds in Sarasota.

We were loving this little bird. How it stood there, basking in the sun, seemingly unaware of it's disheveled appearance. It was beautiful in the oddest way.

Making time to just notice and appreciate the little things is one of the best ways to spend our wild & precious life. 💚

Yoga gives us a gateway to connect to the present moment. It's a practice to stay in it. It's also a practice to bring yourself back to it. ✨

An Update From Anna:

I’m going against what I said…

Over the past several months, I’ve changed how I prepare and teach my classes.

Each week, I develop a flow and corresponding intention at the beginning of class: an intention that can be taken off the mat, into the rest of the day & beyond!

Teaching the same sequence gives students who attend 1 of my classes weekly something practiced, new & fresh each week to look forward to. The community members who attend more get a chance for the body to create muscle memory of the flow & it becomes almost like a dance. ✨

Of course, the flow looks different depending on the type of class: from Warm Slow Stretch to Uplifting, to Sculpt.

Sometimes the movement of the flow and the intention evolves as the week goes on, but more or less it’s the same idea for the week!

I’ve been getting really positive feedback from many students with this change 🥰

The classes have felt more purposeful - because they are!

This past week’s flow evolved A LOT from Thursday to Monday. So much so it developed into a different flow & idea from the original Dharma Talk.

So I know I said during class on Monday that it was the last time we would practice this flow - but I’m going against that!

We are going to hold onto this new, evolved flow for another week while looking at it through a new intention. This morning during my personal practice I added on a “grand finale” to the end that threads back through to the heart of the flow.

I get lots of casual “great class!” from you all on the way out the door (& each is so appreciated!) - but this flow got quite a bit of "🤌💫 that was a REALLY great class👀✨” energy after class on Monday. So why move on so quickly now that it’s evolved into something truly special??

I’m really loving this new way of approaching my classes & feel like I’m finally finding my true voice as I enter year 4 of teaching yoga. A voice that adds that extra level of spirit sparkle in myself & hopefully in our community members too. 🫶✨

I'll be teaching a version of this flow through Monday 4/13. Come experience it for the first time, or come again & allow your body to dance through it 🌊

💚 Anna

🎉 Back to back birthdays here at New Dawn ✨

Happy birthday to our studio photographer, Cat! Usually she can be found behind a camera, on her mat, or in the woods. You've likely practiced with her at some point over the last year ☺️

Cat is someone who goes out of her way to help others see their beauty. She has a way of helping people come together. To top it off, she makes a MEAN charcuterie board 😘 Who can say no to good company, meat & cheese?

Thank you, Cat, for helping to beautify our socials & capture the people, love & commitment that is New Dawn Yoga.

Happy birthday Cat! 🎉

🎉 Happy birthday to the iconic DJ A-Pinny 🤩 (aka our fabulous instructor, Allison)

You can catch her this week on Tuesday at 7:15pm for Candlelit Yin ✨

Allison and I were just talking about how much has changed since her birthday just 3 years ago! We met in Yoga Teacher Training just a few months before then. Since then we have found such an incredible yoga home here at New Dawn & have created countless memories with fellow yogis on & off the mat - even if the evening just included pasta & good company 💚

Her birthday was yesterday but our socials are busier during the week, and she deserves as many happy birthdays as she can get 😘

Happy Birthday Allison! 🎉
