Ahimsa, the first Yama, reminds us to live with compassion toward others and ourselves.

It’s not just about avoiding harm, it’s about choosing gentleness in our thoughts, words, and actions. On the mat, that might look like backing off when your body asks for rest. Off the mat, it might look like offering yourself patience instead of pressure.
Small acts of kindness ripple outward, creating peace within, and around us.

How will you practice Ahimsa today?

4 Yoga Breathing Techniques to Calm the Mind & Balance the Body

✨ Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing)
A balancing breath that clears the mind and restores focus. Gently close one nostril, inhale through the other, then switch sides on the exhale. Continue alternating to create a sense of harmony and inner calm.

🌊 Dirga Pranayama (Three-Part Breath)
Breathe deeply into the belly, ribs, and chest then exhale slowly. This mindful technique teaches full, conscious breathing and soothes the nervous system.

🕯️ Candle Breathing
Imagine blowing a flickering candle without putting it out. Inhale softly through the nose, exhale slowly through the mouth. Great for releasing tension and improving breath control.

🌸 Simple Breath Awareness
No technique needed, just notice your natural breath. Observe its rhythm, temperature, and flow. This gentle awareness anchors you in the present moment.

Try one or all four anytime you need to reset and breathe through stress.

We asked our instructors to share their favorite yoga poses and the variety says it all!

✨ Lisa loves Sphinx Pose for opening the chest, strengthening the back, and calming the mind.

🦗 Dina chose Baby Grasshopper, a fun balance challenge that builds strength and flexibility.

😴 Christina (of course) went with Supported Bound Angle Pose, a deeply restorative, easing the hips and soothing the nervous system.

Whether you crave strength, flow, or total relaxation, there’s a pose (and a teacher) waiting for you at Truly.

It’s easy to fall out of rhythm with your yoga practice. Life gets busy, energy shifts, and routines change. But consistency doesn’t mean practicing every day or pushing through exhaustion. It means returning to yourself, again and again.

Start with what feels doable, 10 minutes, one class a week, or even a few mindful breaths before bed. Set up your mat, set your intention, and let your practice meet you where you are.

Every time you come back to your mat, you strengthen more than your body, you strengthen your commitment to your own well-being.

Come practice with us at Truly and let your consistency grow through community, not pressure.

Meet Your Teacher… Meaghan Gwinn

We’re so lucky to have Meaghan as part of the Truly Yoga family. Her classes are more than just movement, they’re an invitation to connect, breathe, and discover the space between strength and stillness.

Here are some words from her!
I would describe my teaching style as a full integration of body and mind. I love focusing on mobility and strength, finding flow in movement, and creating space for the mind to be fully present in the practice.

I wish more students knew that yoga was not about being flexible (although that may occur in both your body and mind as a result of the practice). It’s a beautiful way to connect with your body and your mind. I love teaching people who have passions whether it be movement or other because they often don’t realize if they practice yoga they gain so much more awareness of their body, and it gives them a deeper connection to their mind in a way that creates more space for balancing more aspects of their life.

A fun fact about me is that I have not bought any bread item from the store in about a year. I make my own sourdough and mill my own flour at home to bake all of our bread/baking products…I have a bread/baking obsession 😂

Join her on the mat Tuesdays at 6 for heated Vinyasa!!

I just want to take a moment to thank the incredible instructors who make Truly Yoga what it is. Each of you brings your own unique energy, light, and love into this space and together, you create something truly magical.

You show up with open hearts, hold space for our students with so much care, and remind everyone who walks through our doors that yoga is more than movement, it’s connection, compassion, and community.
I feel so lucky to have such an inspiring team by my side. Thank you for sharing your gifts, your warmth, and your beautiful spirits. Truly Yoga wouldn’t be the same without you.

With so much love and gratitude,
— Sarah

After the physical practice prepares the body and the breath anchors the mind, we arrive at Dhyana, meditation.

Dhyana is where yoga becomes an inner experience, not just something we do, but something we become.
It’s the quiet awareness between thoughts… the gentle reminder that peace is already within you.

If your practice has felt mostly physical lately, take a few moments today to sit, breathe, and notice. That’s yoga too.

Yoga is for everyone, no matter your age, size, or experience. It’s not just stretching, it builds strength, balance, and endurance, while also supporting your mental and emotional health.

You don’t need expensive mats or fancy clothes, your body and a little space are enough. Yoga isn’t inherently religious; it’s a practice that can be physical, mental, and spiritual, depending on what you want from it. And no, it won’t make you weak, quite the opposite!

Yoga meets you where you are. Flexibility, fitness, and calm all grow over time. 🌿
