Teaching Note

Warrior 1

• “Set your base—front heel to back arch.”
• “Square the pelvis like headlights forward.”
• “Front knee bends over the ankle.”
• “Back leg is straight and anchoring.”
• “Stack ribs over hips.”
• “Arms reach up without disturbing the structure.”

Refined reminders

• “Contain the front hip, don’t spill forward.”
• “Tail drops, spine rises.”
• “Shoulders plug into the back, not up.”
• “Build the pose from the ground—then extend.”

Tadasana (Mountain Pose)

Key actions
Root down to rise up (equal rebound through the body)
Subtle internal rotation of the inner thighs, outer hips hug in
Lengthen tailbone down without tucking aggressively
Broaden across collarbones, soften the lower ribs
Head floats over spine—effortless, not rigid


Think of the body as stacked architecture (ankles → knees → hips → ribs → skull)
Use “maps”: vertical line (gravity) + horizontal line (breath expansion)
Cross-reference: feet ground → crown lifts (oppositional pull creates space.

Why it matters
• Builds postural intelligence
• Creates symmetry and awareness

Teaching Note (1)

Bird of paradise

1. Pelvis: rotate + root
• The standing leg side of the pelvis should feel grounded and slightly internally organized (not just freely rotating).
• The lifted leg side opens, but without dumping into the low back.
• Think: “spiral + anchor” rather than just rotate.

2. Scapula: stabilize, not grip
• The bind pulls one shoulder into internal rotation—this can collapse the chest.
• Instead of squeezing, gently draw the scapula onto the back ribs (down + slightly wide).
• This creates space across the collarbones → easier breathing.

3. Muscle action: containment, not tension
• Engage the standing leg (especially glute med + inner thigh).
• Light core engagement (wrap, not brace).
• Avoid over-gripping the shoulders or jaw.

4. Breath: result, not effort
• When pelvis and scapula are organized, the diaphragm has room to move.
• Think: “breath expands 360°—side ribs, back ribs, low belly.”

The Exhale Ritual

• Fascia Release •
• Sound Bath •
• Red Light Therapy •

Thursday Evenings | Monthly | 75 Minutes

The Exhale Ritual is a 75-minute immersive experience designed to help you slow down, soften, and fully release. The session begins with guided fascia release and assisted stretching to gently unwind deep layers of tension while restoring length, mobility, and ease throughout the body. You’ll then transition into stillness, where a therapeutic sound bath calms the nervous system and invites a deeply restorative state. Throughout the experience, red light therapy enhances circulation and recovery, surrounding you in a warm, soothing glow.

This is your time to reset, recharge, and return to yourself—leaving feeling lighter, grounded, and quietly renewed.

Led by Anna (Stretch Therapist) and Mika (Sound Bath)

When Everyone Has an Opinion

We are human beings—we make mistakes, and we learn from them.

I love sharing what I value: yoga. It has become my career for many years. I’ve practiced yoga physically, mentally, and emotionally, and “practice” itself means the journey never truly ends.

Like many fitness instructors—and anyone in the hospitality or service world—we are constantly reviewed online. Sometimes it hurts, and sometimes it encourages growth.

This week, I’ve been reflecting on review culture. It makes me wonder: who truly has the authority to review whom? We only see moments of people, never the whole story. Perhaps instead of being so quick to judge others, we can meet each other with more humility, grace, and understanding.

🙏

wobble happens → don’t correct immediately
• exhale first (soft sigh)
• then reset: feet + core first
• only after that, soften face again
