Join our community with some of the best teachers in town leading wide range of class formats! Our mission is to create a nourishing and vibrant community of students and teachers empowering each other through kindness, acceptance, and the practice of yoga. Cultivating resilience and vigor, compassion and honesty, we unite with one common goal in mind: to sustain each individual on their journey t

o achieve their highest potential. Why yoga? Scientifically, transformational power of yoga stems from exercising your nervous system. To foster healing and nurturing mind-body connection, we make sure all classes at Atha are rooted in mindfulness. Cultivating harmony of body, breath, and mind is our why. That is why, in addition to providing an excellent workout, our classes are a recipe for health, wellbeing, and wholeness in every area of life. Why hot? Hot yoga has developed a cult following because it feels so good (especially after!) and delivers fantastic results. While physical yoga practice is a low impact exercise that promotes healthy joints and lean muscles, adding heat speeds up metabolism, ensures greater flexibility and cardiovascular benefits, and challenge unlike nothing else out there. Come try for yourself!

⚑️Teacher spotlight: Caitlyn 🀍

Caitlyn is the kind of person who can spend an afternoon flipping through dusty record crates, a night dancing πŸ’ƒ at a live show, and a quiet morning curled up with her 🐈 catsβ€”and genuinely love every version of that rhythm. With over a decade of training in Japanese-American martial arts and a deep commitment to a vegan lifestyle, she’s always been drawn to practices that connect discipline, curiosity, and intention. ✨️

She initially sought out yoga as a way to take control of her health. 🌱As the practice grew, what began as a personal reset evolved into a source of healing, a sense of community, and ultimately, her calling. πŸ™

What you will find in Caitlyn's class is playfulness and presence. She creates a space that feels both grounded and lightβ€”where curiosity is welcome, growth is organic, and movement is something to be enjoyed, not perfected. She’s deeply passionate about sharing this practice and continues to evolve alongside it, both as a student and as a teacher.

Catch her tonight for a delicious double: πŸ’ͺ Embodied Strength Sculpt + πŸ•―Candlelight Flow.

We'll see you on the mat!

Respiratory health is everything. 🌬

Proper breathing puts literally the entire body physiolgy into balance. βš–οΈ

πŸ€” How to ensure respiration stays vibrant and supports quality of life and longevity?

πŸ‘‰ Train your lungs!

🫁 Lung tissue elasticity is what determines our respiratory health. Despite commonly held belief, it is not the need for oxygen what urges us to draw the next one in. It is the desperate call to release carbon dioxide (remember the power of letting go? The breath reminds us of it again! πŸ˜‰ )

In order to exhale, the lungs must passively recoil πŸƒ giving in to the relaxing diaphragm. This way lung tissue releases old gas and frees the space for new one.

πŸ‘‰ For this recoil to work, the lung tissue needs to be 1️⃣ elastic and 2️⃣ lubricated. Both are trained by pranayama, with heat facilitating the training, acting as catalyst.

This is why in every class we teach pranayama alongside asana. Yoga is simply unimaginable without it!

We'll see you on the mat! 🀍

Pose highlight: powerhouse for both strength and mobility ✨ Extended Side Angle ✨️ (Utthita ParsvakonAsana)

🌿 Improves mobility in the hips, chest, and shoulders.

πŸ’ͺ Strengthens hips, legs, and core.

❗️Remember Triangle in Hot 26? This one is a different pose. When the bottom arm gets to ground as in this Side Angle shape, we shift the focus slightly off the deep core and hip stabilizers onto engaging the upper body and back more intensely.

🀍 Yoga is all about nuance in focus. Asana (pose) is such a powerful tool to reflect and refine our focus! The way we present physically and act in the world reflect our inner focus. Inner focus in its tern is determined by the our physicality and actions.

✨️ When we practice with mindful attunement, it makes all the difference.

Namaste, yogis. (Which means the light in each one of us is the same light that makes the universe glow) πŸŽ†

When we say May is our favorite month, we are not exaggerating! The best people om Earth were born in May.πŸŽ† Happy birthday, Hilary! πŸ’

Words will never be enough to express the gratitude for having you in our lives. πŸ™Œ

Teaching adults or children, practicing serious Ghosh or sunset shakti, you radiate this light and wisdom that is so innate and natural in you. Wisdom to take life with humor, and root in humility, and approach it all with equal doze of curiosity and caution... well, maybe a bit more curiosity than caution πŸ˜†

Thank you for being you. Love you so much and wish you the happiest of birthdays!

😘
