Part of Breathe Ojai's mission statement is to share about the roots of Yoga and today we would love to share about the one of the oldest threads:

The earliest evidence of yogic practices appears in the Indus Valley Civilization—archeological findings show figures in seated meditative postures, dating back over 5,000 years.

The Pashupati Seal, sometimes referred to as the Proto-Siva seal, is a famous steatite seal discovered at Mohenjo-daro, a key site of the Indus Valley Civilization.

It depicts a seated, possibly meditating, figure surrounded by animals, and is often interpreted as an early representation of the deity Shiva, specifically as Pashupati, the "Lord of Animals."

Tanner is back in the studio this summer leading a new class entitled ~Yin & Yang Summer Flow~ and it's exactly what it sounds like (;

Ease into the heart of summer with this balancing, grounding, and refreshing practice. Rooted in the traditions of Hatha and Yin Yoga, this class is designed to help you slow down, stretch out, and stay cool during the warm summer evenings.

We’ll begin with about 30 minutes of mindful, accessible movement to gently open the body and steady the breath, followed by some longer-held restorative postures and stretches to ease tension and relax the mind. The remainder of class is reserved for a long, dreamy savasana to fully integrate, restore, and reset.

See you tonight and every Thursday from 6:30-7:30pm.

Meet Alyssabeth! She's one of our new Breathe Ojai teachers and we couldn't be more proud to introduce her.

Join her in class Thursdays at noon for an all levels Hatha yoga class (Hatha is a just kind of like a 'regular' yoga class for lack of a better term).

Alyssabeth was lucky enough to be introduced to yoga in middle school and the spiritual practice of yoga became a guiding force in her life early on. She is a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, 'Warriors at Ease' Certified Teacher, and iRest Level 1 meditation instructor. When she’s not practicing yoga, leading retreats, or writing poetry, she’s likely camping, hiking, and enjoying nature with her spouse and 6-year-old ‘puppy,' Jaxon, any chance she gets!

Please help us welcome her to the Breathe Ojai family!

We couldn't be prouder of school principal turned star yoga student Mary D. for taking TWO HUNDRED classes with us at Breathe Ojai. Mary was one of our FIRST students that walked through the doors!!

One of our favorite things about Mary is that she didn't take off her helping hat when she joined us: if you're new and in class with Mary she will be there to reach out a hand and show you where the props are and help you to feel really welcome.

🌸 Honoring the Full Heart of Mother’s Day 🌸

Mother’s Day is a tender, powerful day—a time of celebration, remembrance, gratitude, and sometimes, quiet ache.

At Breathe Ojai, we hold space for it all. Whether you’re celebrating a beloved mother, navigating loss, longing, or complicated memories, or simply nurturing the mother within—you are welcome here.

Join us for a day of gentle healing and deep connection through stillness, sound, and breath:

🕊️ 9:00 AM | Sound Bath Ceremony
Let healing waves of sound soothe the soul. This immersive session invites you to rest, release, and simply be—held by the sacred resonance of crystal bowls and grounding frequencies.

🌬️ 11:00 AM | Breathwork Journey
Feel it all. This guided breathwork experience is a powerful gateway to presence—supporting emotional release, clarity, and renewal, whatever your heart may be carrying.

🧘 5:00 PM | Restorative Yoga
Close the day in gentle stillness. A deeply nurturing practice to settle the body, soften the mind, and offer yourself compassion. Blankets, bolsters, and soothing guidance will support you in finding deep relaxation.

This day is for anyone moving through love, grief, gratitude, joy, or all of it at once.
Come for one, or stay for the whole journey.

Bring your mother, bring your memories, bring your breath.
