Happy Birthday, Janet 🎉✨💫

Today we celebrate a teacher who truly embodies radiant, magnetic joy. Janet, your energy lights up our Shala the moment you walk through the door. You don’t just teach poses—you uplift hearts, shift mindsets, and remind each of us what’s possible.

As our in-house nutrition coach, you guide with wisdom, compassion, and unwavering belief in every student and client. You are the loudest cheerleader on and off the mat, always encouraging us to think bigger, nourish better, and live fuller.

We are beyond proud of you for bringing your book Adelgaza tu Mente to life—and now sharing it in English as well! What a beautiful milestone. We celebrate this powerful season with you as your inspiring message expands to reach even more hearts, helping people transform not just their bodies, but their entire lives. 📖💛

Your greatest joy is seeing others succeed, and that generosity of spirit is exactly what makes you so extraordinary.

May this year return to you the same encouragement, abundance, and celebration you so freely give to everyone around you.

Happy, happy Birthday, Janet. We love and adore you! ✨🎂✨

With an additional Mysore practice on Friday, there’s now even more space for individual guidance, hands-on assistance and meaningful feedback from Tim. 🤍

Tim is not only a highly respected teacher but also a dear friend, and we always cherish the presence, warmth and depth he brings to the shala. Opportunities to study with someone like him are rare, which is exactly why we invite him — so our community can explore yoga beyond the physical practice: diving into philosophy, refining the breath and deepening understanding far beyond asana.

If you’ve been feeling the call to join, this is a beautiful opportunity to immerse yourself more fully. We would truly love to share this space with you.

Welcome home, Ana 🤍

After three months in Mysore — immersed in early mornings, devoted study, and humbly assisting fellow students — you return to our Shala carrying the quiet strength of the lineage.

You embody Abhyasa, the sacred art of returning. Returning to the breath. Returning to the method. Returning to the Self. Your practice reminds us that Ashtanga is not about perfect poses, but about showing up with steady effort and finding our own inner rhythm.

Through your time in Mysore, you felt the living thread of Parampara — the teachers before you, the tradition that guides you — and now you pass that wisdom to us with such humility and love.

We are so grateful for your devotion, your depth of knowledge, and your generous heart.

Ana, our Shala feels whole again. 🤍🙏🏼 🕉️

‼️Students, Ana returns to the Mysore room this Monday, February 16th‼️

7 headstands.
From the Intermediate Series.

It’s not magic. ✨
It’s time.
It’s dedication.
It’s commitment.

Day after day. Breath after breath.

This practice will give you balance — not just on your head, but in your life.
Confidence — because you’ve faced fear.
Strength — because you’ve built it patiently.

There is no shortcut.
There is only practice.

And the beautiful part? Everyone starts somewhere.
If you’ve been thinking about beginning your yoga journey, this is your invitation to step onto the mat and start. 🤍

Keep showing up.

🔥 RAJAS — Nourishing Without Overstimulating

Rajas is heat, intensity, and movement.
While necessary for disciplined practice, excess rajas overstimulates the nervous system and disrupts breath and focus.

Ashtanga refines rajas by stabilizing energy rather than feeding excess fire.

Asana to balance rajas:
Strong vinyasa, backbends, and Intermediate postures require steadiness of breath and restraint.
Twists support digestion and help redistribute heat throughout the body.

Nutrition and rajas:
Overly spicy foods, excess caffeine, stimulants, refined sugar, and irregular eating patterns inflame rajas and disturb prāṇic flow.

To soothe rajas, emphasize:
• Regular meal times
• Cooling and nourishing foods such as rice, milk, ghee, soaked almonds, dates
• Well-spiced meals that support digestion without overheating
• Adequate hydration and simplicity in food combinations

Balanced nourishment allows intensity in practice without agitation.

Join us for a special Valentine’s Day meditation focused on gratitude, connection, self-love, and self-acceptance.

This heart-centered session is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and reconnect — with yourself and with those you love. You’re welcome to bring a guest and share this moment together. We’ll also take time to honor significant others in our lives, and if you’re not partnered at the moment, we’ll gently expand that love toward family, friends, and yourself.

Expect a calming guided meditation designed to help you:
✨ Cultivate gratitude
✨ Nurture friendship and connection
✨ Practice self-care and self-acceptance
✨ Let love expand outward from the heart

No experience necessary — just come as you are.

This offering is free and open to all.
Bring a friend, a loved one, or simply yourself.

Still soaking in all the magic from our recent retreat. Just a little taste of our time together 🩵

So grateful for this beautiful retreat and everyone who joined us 🤍
Thank you for showing up with open hearts — for the practices, shared meals, deep breaths, laughter, and quiet moments by the sea. Watching everyone reconnect with themselves and each other was truly special. This week was a reminder of how powerful it is to step away from daily life and come back to what really matters.

Until next time… and if you’re feeling called, keep an eye out for our next adventure ✨🙏🏻💕

🌿 TAMAS — Supporting Agni to Overcome Heaviness

Tamas manifests as lethargy, dullness, and resistance to movement.
In Ashtanga, we counter tamas by kindling agni (digestive fire)—both through movement and food.

Asana to balance tamas:
Surya Namaskara A & B awaken circulation and prāṇa.
Standing postures in Primary Series build heat and rhythm.
Forward folds help release stagnation while maintaining steady breath.

Nutrition and tamas:
Foods that are stale, overcooked, processed, fried, or eaten late weaken agni and increase heaviness in both body and mind.

To reduce tamas, favor:
• Freshly prepared, warm meals
• Light grains (rice, quinoa)
• Cooked vegetables with mild spices (ginger, cumin, coriander)
• Soups and stews that are easy to digest

✨When digestion is clear, the mind naturally becomes more alert and receptive to practice.

Yoga Sutra 1.33 reminds us that peace of mind is cultivated through the way we meet life—and each other.
“By cultivating friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the suffering, joy for the virtuous, and equanimity toward those who cause harm, the mind becomes serene.”

This sutra is a practice of love in action.
It asks us to soften envy into maitri, genuine friendliness when others are thriving.
To open the heart with karuna, compassion when life is heavy—for ourselves and for others.
To celebrate goodness with mudita, delighting in integrity and sincerity wherever it appears.
And to protect our inner stillness with upeksha, choosing clarity and boundaries instead of reactivity.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, this teaching gently expands our idea of love.
Love is not only romance—it’s how we relate to joy without comparison, to pain without turning away, and to difficulty without losing ourselves. This is the kind of love that steadies the nervous system, clarifies the mind, and deepens our practice on and off the mat.

✨ From Monday, February 9 through Saturday, February 14, we’re celebrating connection, community, and self-love.
Bring someone to class with you — any class, any time.
Let your practice be an offering of presence, kindness, and shared breath.

Anandamaya Kosha — The Bliss Body

The Anandamaya Kosha is the innermost layer, experienced as peace, contentment, and quiet joy.
It is not dependent on external conditions.

This bliss is subtle and often revealed in stillness—after effort has softened and the mind has settled.

Yoga does not force this experience; it prepares us to receive it.
As the outer layers harmonize, we naturally rest closer to our true nature.
