You don’t have to wait until January to start yoga 💭

Sometimes we hold subconscious beliefs about when is the best time to start a new practice.

Thoughts like…
* In January...
* After I finish this big work project...
* When things finally slow down...

But the truth is, there’s never a perfect time—just the moment you decide to start showing up for yourself. ☺️ And as the holidays approach, that moment could be now.

You don’t have to wait until January to start yoga—begin now and move through the holidays feeling calmer, more grounded, and less stressed. Doubling down on your self care this season is the best gift you can give yourself.

✨ Join us for the Maha Yoga Open House — Saturday, October 25th!  Enjoy great yoga, good company, drinks and snacks, specials, and giveaways.

We’re offering two classes at a special $10 drop-in rate for new clients, or you can use your membership to join in and bring a friend!

This is the perfect place to start - make time for you, before the holiday rush begins. 💫

Experience what makes Maha special — Open House Oct 25 📣

At Maha, what we hear again and again from students is: “This isn’t like other yoga studios.”

Our classes go beyond just stretching and sweating — they’re about functional movement, body awareness, and the kind of strength and mobility that supports real life.

Join us for the Maha Yoga's Open House and experience what makes Maha special with two unique classes:

🧘‍♀️ Functional Flow w/ Justicia (9:30–10:45am)
Mobility-informed yoga class that integrates functional movement with yoga.This class helps you build strength and improve mobility for a more balanced body. With 20 years of teaching experience, Justicia weaves together the best of yoga and functional movement to help fill in the gaps your body didn’t know it had.

🌿 Slow Flow w/ Dani (11:00am–12:00pm)
Gentle, grounding, and deeply supportive, Dani’s slow flow is beloved by students returning to practice or anyone who knows a power yoga class just isn’t the right fit. Her thoughtful approach helps you reconnect with your body in a way that feels both safe and empowering.

We’re offering both classes at a special $10 drop-in rate for new clients, or you can use your membership to join and bring a friend! ✨

Come see for yourself what makes Maha different.

Beginning something new can be tough—we get it 💭

Learning a new skill gets harder and harder as we age. Not because we CAN'T, but simply because we grow less comfortable with being a beginner. 😅

REMEMBER: IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO START SOMETHING NEW. 📣

The first time in a yoga class can be SUPER intimidating. Maybe you don't remember your first class (lucky you), but I remember thinking ... "wait, downward facing dog is a resting pose?!"

Now, I'm so grateful that I had the humility to get on my mat for the first time. The practice is one that takes place over a lifetime and truly holds me during difficult times.

If you're looking for a gentle nudge into the practice, THIS IS IT. 👆🏻We’re hosting Yoga 101 for Absolute Beginners this Friday, September 26th - it’s absolutely free because we know how hard it can be to start something new.

Lannessa will orient you to the studio, move you through some basic poses, break down yoga breathing, and answer all your questions. 💫

This workshop is the perfect place to start, and is absolutely free. Registration required. 🔗 in bio! ⬆️

FREE Slow Flow demo class with Rachael this Saturday at 11am 🎉

Tomorrow, September 20th, we are excited to offer a free demo slow flow class with Rachael Gardner at 11am! We really think you will love her class, and look forward to hearing what you think! ✨

Slow flow is a softer, slower-paced vinyasa; great for aging anatomy and anyone wanting a gentle, accessible approach. 🌿

Rachael practices yoga not only for the physical benefits, but for the mental and emotional benefits as well.
 She has seen from her own experience, and from 15 years of teaching, that the mind-body connection is powerful and can be quite meaningful.

Rachael believes that yoga should be fun and uplifting, all while being alignment-based and steady. 🤗
 In her spare time, Rachael has been taking sailing lessons and you can often find her at the lake!

Class is absolutely free, but registration is required. Share this with your friend who has been wanting to try a class at Maha: here's a no-cost option, literally nothing to lose!

Recommit to your practice this fall 🍂

Although I haven’t been in school in decades, the fall always has the feel of back to routine for me.

The daylight shortens and invites us to slow down, summer travel eases up, the kids in our lives are back in school, and the cooler weather gives much-needed reprieve. 😌

Things always feel like they stabilize at the studio in the fall as the summer travel winds down and familiar faces return.
 This fall, recommit to your practice. Take a look at the schedule and book your next class—you’ll thank yourself later. Even adding just one class a week back into your routine can help you find your yoga rhythm and make a big difference in how you feel. ✨
