🪷 Meet Aloysius! A proud graduate of our Living Yoga Teacher Training and one of our newest Lotus Buds, Aloysius has poured dedication, heart, and soul into his practice lessons - now he’s ready to share his light with the wider community. 🌟

For Aloysius, yoga is more than physical - it’s a way of being. It’s how he shows up for himself and others, how he brings more joy and connection into the world around him. His hope is that everyone in his class feels welcomed just as they are, and finds movement that meets them right where they are today.

🗓 Saturday, August 2
🕐 1:00pm
💸 $10 Community Class

Let’s come together to support Aloysius as he teaches his first public class—an invitation to move, breathe, and celebrate the practice of yoga as a path of transformation and service.

🧘‍♀️✨ Yoga for EveryBODY isn’t just a slogan—it’s a practice.

In this weekend workshop, longtime teacher and educator Dena Borman will guide you in making yoga more inclusive, accessible, and authentic—no matter who’s in the room.

Here, she shows side angle pose (Parsva Konasana) in four different variations—just one example of how you’ll learn to adapt asana to meet a wide range of bodies, needs, and intentions.

If you’ve ever said “all are welcome,” this training helps you walk that talk.
🗓️ Saturday & Sunday, September 13–14
⏰ 10:30–12:30 & 1:30–5:30 (Sat) • 1–5:30 (Sun)
📚 10 Yoga Alliance CE hours

Let’s gather in reflection and renewal as the moon turns inward, inviting us to do the same. 🕊️🎶
