Meet our resident karma yogi (for the last few years!) and outstanding weekly leader of the Friday Sound Journey at 6pm. She has taken care of all of us behind the scenes—making sure our the students, teachers, studio (and plants!) are loved, supported and nourished. We are ever grateful for all she has done for the studio and community!! And in Yoga as in life, all good things come to an end. In the coming weeks, Satoko will need to step back and we are looking for a work-trade team to help out in exchange for membership. Just a couple hours help around the studio weekly in exchange for membership and discounts on workshops and retreats. If you or someone you know is interested in studio membership exchange, please DM for more info.

Spring is a natural time to reset.

As the seasons shift, Ayurveda invites us to gently cleanse the digestive system, release accumulated heaviness, and restore balance to body and mind.

If you’ve been feeling sluggish, foggy, or a little out of sync, this is your body’s way of asking for a reset.

Join us for Spring Ayurveda Cleanse Rituals, a 2.5 hour Introduction to Ayurvedic Wisdom for seasonal digestive cleansing. We will gather in community this Saturday from 10:30-1:00pm to learn simple, nourishing practices that support digestion, increase energy, and bring clarity from the inside out.

This isn’t about restriction—it’s about nourishment, rhythm, and reconnecting to your body in a deeper way.

You’ll leave with:
• Simple daily practices to support digestion
• Cleanse-friendly recipes and guidance
• Tools to carry this seasonal reset into your everyday life

Come as you are—this is a gentle, supportive space for all levels.

• Physical and energetic anatomy
• How posture, breath, and focused awareness transform your practice—and your life

This is not just a retreat.
It’s an inner journey—supported by nature, community, and daily practice.

Yoga Teacher Training is not just about learning poses or memorizing sequences.

It’s a journey of self-discovery guided by an ancient system that uses movement, breathwork, meditation, reflection, and community to help us uncover our untapped human potential.

And it’s that personal transformation — more than the information you learn — that gives you the wisdom and confidence to guide others on the same path.

✨

It’s been a scary time for our little community, and many are still stuck in their homes without power. But we have observed neighbors taking care of each other, and people coming together to support loved ones as well as strangers. It’s been a testament to our town and the people who make Oxford such a wonderful place to live. We finally have power restored at the studio and would love to open our space to anyone in the community who needs a warm room and a warm community with whom to share it. Our first in studio class will be tomorrow, Saturday, Jan 31st: FREE COMMUNITY VINYASA FLOW with at 10:00am. As always, you can join us in the studio or online. No membership required. We hope to see you there! We will have a limited schedule this week with both free and discounted drop-in classes, but we will be back to our regular schedule Sunday, Feb.8th.
