ALL THE MORE REASON TO KEEP COMING HOME TO YOUR MAT.
Snow… Santa… And S**t is Still Happening

People will still disappoint you. You’ll argue with family around the table and by the tree. You’ll witness things that harden you, then soften you in ways you didn’t expect. Old wounds show up with a vengeance like the ghosts of Christmas past. You’ll lose people you thought would always be part of your tradition.

You’ll remember that everyone carries their own baggage—some wrapped neatly, some shoved in the back of the closet.

You’ll cry in the car before dinner , laugh too loud after one glass of wine, and replay moments you wish you could shove back in that box.

Somewhere between the chaos and the quiet, you’ll need some stillness.
A place where the lights glow softly, the noise fades, and you realize that life gives its hardest lessons to the ones strong enough to hold them.

A place where finally you can see yourself clearly—imperfect but resilient, 100% human.

You’ll understand that you were never meant to be changed.
Not by the season.
Not by anyone.
Not even by you.

🎅 GUIDE TO HOLIDAY SANITY.
One pose at a time with Vanessa & Santa

While most people fall off their mat during the holidays… that’s actually when you need your practice most.

All the sugar, stress, social overload, and emotional baggage? Yeah, yoga helps with that.

These are the 5 poses Santa himself swears by when the list is long, the sleigh is heavy, and the cookies are hitting hard:

✨ Boat – when everything feels scattered, family, shopping, hosting – boat reminds you you are your own anchor, and builds in a fire to burn off anxious energy.

✨ Tortoise – this deep forward fold can calm your nervous system, better than a glass of wine. This draws you in Ward, perfect when you’ve been around too many people for too many days. A reminder that you’re allowed to retreat and reset.

✨ Frog – release what’s stuck (emotionally & otherwise) pro tip: stay longer than you want. That’s where the magic is.

✨ Downward Dog – just overall reset. Opens the shoulders, decompresses your spine, and clears your mind. Take the time to reconnect to you take a big breath and sigh it out.

✨ Legs Up the Wall – nervous system gold. Calms the heart rate, drains fatigue from the legs from running around finding that last-minute gift, and shifts you into true rest mode. This one is your gift to yourself.

🧘‍♀️ Breathe. Move. Repeat.
And don’t skip your practice just because it’s the “busy season.”
That’s when the magic works best.

AND TRUST ME THERE ARE MORE..
#1: Forcing Yourself Into Shapes

When you push into a posture your body isn’t ready for, that’s ligament and low-back injury territory.
At Purpose: We teach progression, not punishment.

#2: Too Much Heat, Too Soon
Heat is a tool — not a shortcut.
Going too hot too fast = pulled muscles, dizziness, strain.
At Purpose: We heat intelligently and warm up your tissues safely.

#3: Ignoring Your Own Anatomy
Hip sockets, spine curves, bone angles — they differ wildly.
Forcing yourself into someone else’s alignment = injury.
At Purpose: We teach you your range, not Instagram’s.

#4: Speed Over Control
Rushing Sun Salutes or hopping around without stability is a recipe for wrist, shoulder, and hamstring tears.
At Purpose: We train controlled strength, not reckless momentum.

#5: Treating Yoga Like a Circus Act
Showing off the “cool stuff” without the foundation leads straight to injury — especially neck, back, and shoulder trauma.
At Purpose: Longevity > shock & awe. Always.

Yoga shouldn’t hurt you.
But when you force shapes, rush transitions, crank the heat, or try to make your body look like the teacher’s… it can.
At Purpose, we practice for longevity, not performance.
Move smarter. Stay stronger. Live longer. 🖤

COMPASSION IS THE NEW BLACK..
Black Friday Week at Purpose isn’t just about deals — it’s a whole yoga lesson.
A little Aparigraha to let go of excuses.
A little Tapas to recommit.
A little Santosha because, honestly, these prices are a gift.

Starting Wednesday through Monday, we drop a new deal every 24 hours — and each one disappears at midnight. No repeats. No “I’ll get it tomorrow.”
Just presence, practice, and Purpose.

Turn on your post notifications, grab the deal of the day, and step into the season with more breath, more strength, more chill… and a little extra savings.

Move with intention. Save with purpose.
🖤🔥🙏🏼
