Each month in 2026, we at Breathe Ojai will offer you a theme to reflect on... funny enough, this month's theme is *reflection.*

In Yoga scholarship we turn towards three texts to shed light on our theme of reflection:

1. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: a central theme of this text is svadhyaya (self-study/study of the self).

2. Bhagavad Gita: themes include selfless action, devotion, and dharma.

3. Hatha Yoga Pradipika: a text which shares practical techniques which facilitate reflective states.

These texts suggest you engage in reflection in the following ways:

- slowing down

- observing your inner state (thoughts emotion, habits) without judgement

- viscerally FEELING and allowing awareness to pe*****te all aspects of your being

- shifting towards identifying with the 'seer' rather than simply shifting the way you see (your perspective)

Follow along, comment on this post, and share with anyone who may also be interested in following along with our monthly themed posts this year 🦋

:: A Winter Āyurvedic Reset ::

Āyurveda is a freestanding system of medicine with its own rich history and texts originating in India; it is considered the world’s oldest medicine system— both an ancient and living tradition. Here are some gentle ways to support yourself through this winter season with the Āyurvedic wisdom:

🌬️ Practice Mindful Breathing: Now that the busyness of the holidays is over, you may find that your breath has taken a backseat in your consciousness. Take 2 minutes, right now if you can, to stop, and just be with your breath. What is it telling you?

🍵 Try Ginger Tea: Ginger has warming and digestive properties that will support you these next few months and help bring more ease into the daily flow of life.

🏃🏽‍♀️ Exercise Regularly: Depending on your constitution (kapha, pitta, vata), the type of exercise may vary. If you’re curious about this and other individualized aspects of Āyurveda and yoga, reach out for a private yoga therapy session where we’ll cater directly to your needs.

🧣 Stay Warm, Cover Your Ears and Neck: Keeping the wind and cold from entering your ears is vital during these gusty times. Many cultures and forms of medicine agree that covering your neck is a major lifeline to staying healthy and balanced during the winter.

🛌 Prioritize Rest & Sleep: We are meant to rest more than we do. This includes not just sleep, but DEEP rest. Letting your nervous system unwind and recalibrate is the name of the game always, and especially after big changes in weather and pace of life. Try Therapeutic Yoga (5:30pm Fridays) or Restorative Yoga (5pm Sundays) to help you settle and rest.

Finally ~ Join us January 31st in studio or online from 1-2:30pm for a special wintertime workshop: An Ayurvedic Reset. Link in bio!

See you soon 🥰

🌦️ Shake off winter heaviness and step into spring feeling lighter, clearer, and energized.

As winter begins to fade and kapha season continues, many of us experience sluggishness, congestion, low motivation, or feeling weighed down. This workshop is designed to help you reset your body and habits before spring fully arrives—so you can meet the season feeling balanced and vibrant.

In this experiential workshop, you’ll learn practical Ayurvedic tools you can use immediately:

-Simple daily routines (dinacharya) for spring
-Gentle detox practices that support digestion and energy
-Seasonal recipes and food guidance to reduce heaviness
-Supportive movement and asana to awaken the body
-Rituals to align with renewal and growth

Plan to bring something to write with/on and wear clothing you feel comfortable moving in.

Join Francesca for this limited seasonal offering (90 minutes) and learn how to work with the rhythms of nature instead of pushing against them. Leave feeling refreshed, empowered, and ready for spring.

Francesca’s relationship with Āyurveda consists of over 15 years of dedicated study, more than 500 hours of formal training, and countless hours of deeply personal, lived practice. She has witnessed firsthand—and through her work with others—the profound transformation that comes from living in alignment with Āyurveda, an ancient and living tradition designed to support holistic health. She has studied both in the United States and in India, including intensive month-long Panchakarma treatments in Kerala, a region renowned for its Ayurvedic lineage. A lifelong student, Francesca shares this wisdom as an accessible entry point for those curious about what Āyurveda is and how it can benefit you by welcoming simple shifts into your everyday life.

🦋 Happy Student Testimonial 🥰

“It took some searching through various Ojai studios to find Breathe but I am so glad I did!!

Breathe is the place I was looking for...the studio that feels like home.

I love practicing here. The teachers are knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient.

The vibe is calm and relaxing. The community friendly and genuine and the studio itself, full of light.

I always leave class more grounded then when I came. Couldn’t ask for more.”

Francesca here: It’s tempting to make new year’s resolutions right about…. now.

But, I’d like to share some thoughts with you:

We are in the dead of winter; it’s even chilly here in Southern California. From an Āyurvedic perspective this time is all about moving inward and being quiet. I don’t know about you, but sometimes my intentions don’t reveal themselves until late winter or spring. Why rush setting intentions just to come up with something because January 1st is fast approaching? This leads me to my next thought:

Each one of us has different cycles and unique ways of moving through life, experiences, and lessons. Yes, it’s helpful to have external reference points to celebrate and mark your growth and renewal, AND it’s also okay to simply be with YOURself — to l i s t e n.

What are your heart’s deeper callings? What still needs tending to despite other things not yet seeming put together? In a world filled with surface level focus on ‘betterment’ and ‘becoming’, what would it feel like to simply accept where you are, breathe, become still, and THEN move intuitively and quietly toward a sincere resolution/intention/sankalpa when the timing is right for you?

Your inner wisdom is the most invaluable resource you’ve got. Let’s honor it.

Whether you choose to set clear intentions or pause with stillness as January 1st arrives, know that there is truly no wrong answer. To be honest, sometimes we just need the new year to give us a little push in the direction we already know we need to go. Sometimes it’s not that deep!

That being said, Breathe has a ton of opportunities for you to join us in 2026.

✨ A perfect place to start is our January 10-Class Challenge. Sign up on the board at the studio and attend 10 classes in January for a chance to win $100 in Breathe credits.

✨ We also have TWO January 1st offerings! Join Susie for a special vinyasa class at 11am and Roberta for a soundbath and meditation at 6:30pm (we expect these to sell out!).

✨ We have an Āyurvedic workshop January 31st to ease the transition into Spring.

However you experience these times and this part of the cycle take good care, breathe, and enjoy the moment.

Francesca here! Hi ~ during my time in India I came across this word ~ ‘Mitra’ and it’s always stuck with me as both a beautiful word/idea but also as an important component on the path of life/spirituality.

My hope is that this idea of simply being a ‘friend’ extends out into the larger yoga world. Friends are equal, both sharing their own unique talents and perspectives.

Please join us at the studio as a friend — in any capacity — for a completely vibe than you’re used to 😘
