🥱Need some deeper rest, recovery, release, repair, resource, renewal?
😌Take time with you, here.

Join us for ✨REKINDLE✨, a special Winter Solstice restorative yoga and sound bath experience.

In this special experience, we’ll combine the yoga of relaxation with the capacity of sound healing for a soothing, soulful experience.

We’ll move through a slow, deeply supported restorative yoga practice while also embraced in a healing sound bath to release stress, unwind tension, and nurture repair - body, mind, and soul. No experience in restorative yoga or sound healing is needed - you get to receive and be guided through the entire experience.

Tripod headstand is a moderate approach to taking a full headstand – and it’s not for everyone! Taking time to thoughtfully consider if you need to take this posture, is one way to practice ahimsa towards yourself.

Begin on all fours, in tabletop pose. Place your hands on the ground in front of you, about shoulder-width distance apart. Lean forward and reach the crown of your head to the floor, in front of your hands. The crown of your head is the flat spot on the top of your head. You should be able to see your fingertips, make a triangle with your head and hands. Tuck your toes and straighten your legs, lifting the hips up.
If you feel comfortable bend your knees and rest them on your elbows. Squeeze your feet towards your seat. Actively push into the floor with your hands and draw your elbows in. Hold for 3 – 5 breaths and slowly come down as you are ready.

Non-harming action begins with our own person. Sometimes a simple stretch is all we need to extend a bit of extra care and non-harming action towards ourself. There is nothing to achieve with a simple stretch, except that which feels comfortable.

Calming and centering, neck stretches can be a great way to help us enter a practice or to transition between spaces on our mat, such as active and passive spaces. It can also be a wonderful way to pause in the middle of your workday, offering a space to simply breathe and be.

Weekly Focus: Ahimsa (non-harming)

Last week’s focus of Daya, is a building block towards Ahimsa. Ahimsa is one of the yamas and translates as non-harming. This is the practice of considering the negative potential of not only our actions but our thoughts, words, and intentions, so that we may reduce consequential harm.

Cultivating ahimsa is achieved through the cultivation of intentional thought, word and deed. For every action there is a reaction, or a consequence, whether positive or negative. Yoga teaches helpful tools of pause, reflect, and analyze before jumping into action, assumption or conclusion. It is this intentionality that can help us work towards a life of ahimsa in practice.

Is there anywhere in life that you may be unintentionally causing harm, whether directly or indirectly? Get deep with this question. How can you apply this practice of ahimsa in your everyday life?

It's a Holiday week 🍂....that means classes will be adjusted at the studio.

Please review Myriad's Holiday schedule for November 26th - November 28th!

Remember to give yourself space to practice and offer self care even during the hustle and bustle of the holidays.

✨Please join us for our special donation class on Thanksgiving at 9 am, The Honoring - OPEN to the Public!

11/20/2025

✨Not Your Typical Thanksgiving Day Class✨

All are welcome to this flow-style donation class where we will share respect for the land and those to whom it was originally claimed. Rather than focusing on a cliche of gratitude, we turn to our history to acknowledge the past and move with respect and honor in the future. We cannot change the past but we can work to learn, to understand, find empathy and restructure the future. 🙏🏻

This class offers space for self-reflection so that we may consider our part within history, the present, and the future. How do we offer space to humbly honor, reocognize, and hold sorrow for the doings of the past? How do we hold space in the present moment? How can we create action through word and deed to make amends in the future? 🤲🏻

🧘🏼‍♂️ Join us for The Honoring as we come together for collective healing and reflection.

OPEN to the public. Donations will be suggested to The American Indian Society of Indiana.

Catur Svanasana allows us to to strengthen the heart space and to be reflective as we look back towards ourself.

Begin in a tabletop position on hands and knees. Lower down onto your forearms. Either clasp your hands together in front of you, or press down through the hands and palms. Tuck your toes and extend your legs into a forearm plank position.
Keep pressing down through the elbows. As you do, begin to walk your feet forward toward your elbows. The hips will begin to pike up naturally, similar to downward facing dog. Walk the feet in as close as is comfortable. Continue to resist the floor with your arms, so that your head stays lifted from the floor.

Hold for 3 – 5 breaths.

To come down, walk your feet back carefully, then lower the knees and find rest.

Scorpion stretch is a big stretch for the shoulders that helps to broaden the heart space, opening our hearts and our gaze to the world around us.

This pose has some great variations on it to change where you feel the stretch along your right arm and shoulder. For more of a tricep stretch, bend your arm to 90 degress, keeping the arm in line with the shouder. Explore bringing the arm to more of a “Y” position or bring it down lower than the line of your shoulder.

Daya is a virtue of the Yogic and Hindu practices translating as sympathy, compassion, empathy or mercy. Daya is not pity for the suffering of others, it is beyond simply feeling sorry for someone’s pain. Daya is the sefless desire to remove the suffering from all beings, seeing each being as one’s own self.

“Compassion is the wish to see others free from suffering.” (Dalai Lama) – another quote to express the depth of this word. Daya is not empty sympathy, but rather, it is a deeply selfless desire to see another’s suffering also as our own.

Where can we cultivate more compassion in our lives? Where do you struggle to lend compassion? What would cultivating a life of active sympathy look like?

This pose is not easy – practice helps us build awareness of how we want to arrange our bodies and engage within this pose. Its forward fold invites space for introspection and reflection of our practice.

Try setting your self up for parsvottanasana so that you are facing a wall. May sure you are far enough away to press your hands into the wall and push away with straight elbows. As you prepare to fold, press your palms into the wall and use this action to lengthen the spine. Extend your tailbone away from the wall as you reach the crown of your head towards the wall. Simultaneously, as you push your hands forward, you might draw the shoulders back in towards the body. Begin to walk your hands down the wall to any degree, as long as you can keep the action of the skill. Go no further than the torso parallel with the floor so that you may maintain the resistance.

Sucirandhrasana is grounding and supportive, wonderful qualities at this transient time of year. It also provides a still place for us to cultivate awareness of our bodies and our breath.

This is a great pose to offer yourself some resisted stretching. Resistance stretching activates the muscles and tendons around the joins and can help bring more awareness to the action of the stretch. To bring resistance to this pose, practice near a wall. Set yourself up so that you can press the floating foot (in this case the let foot), against the wall actively. Press your right knee away with your hand, and at the same time, push the knee back into your hand. Notice how practicing in this way may light up the pose differently than a passive stretch.

Abhayasa is a dedicated practice, typically to achieve a state of harmony or tranquility, or to cultivate a skill. Yoga is a lifelong practice that is cultivated with consistency and continuous check-ins. We remind ourselves this week that there is always something to practice, and it is the act of practice itself, not simply the achievement, that unfolds wonders within us.

Do you consider your yoga practice a “practice,” or is it something else? In what other ways do you practice to cultivate, or where would you like to practice more?
