🌿✨ Your Power is Revealed Through the Challenge ✨🌿

Yoga Sutra 1:30 Vyādhi styāna samśaya pramādālasyāvirati bhrāntidarśanālabdha-
bhūmikatvānavasthitatvāni cittaviksepāste'ntarāyāh.

“Disease, dullness, doubt, carelessness, laziness, sensuality, false perception, failure to reach firm ground and slipping from the ground gained— these distractions of the mind-stuff are the obstacles.”

There will be days when the fire dims — when doubt creeps in, motivation fades, and the mind leans toward comfort, distraction, or even pride in past progress. This is not failure. This is part of the path.

On the journey of yoga, it’s common to rise… and then slip. To feel inspired… and then dull. This is the nature of the mind.

These moments of tamas — inertia, lethargy, carelessness — are not signs to quit, but signs to awaken. Like a river held back by a dam, your full power is often revealed only when you meet resistance.

Yoga is an obstacle race — designed not to defeat you, but to strengthen you. Your setbacks are sacred. Your struggles are shaping you. The ground may shake beneath you, but your inner Self is unshakable. 🕉️

Keep showing up. Not perfectly — but honestly.🧘‍♂️

🌿The Selfless Path to True
Happiness🌿

Yoga Sutra 1.15
Drstānuśravika visaya vitrsnasya vaśikāra samjñā vairāgyam.

“The consciousness of self-mastery in one who is free from craving
from objects seen or heard about is non-attachment.”

Non-attachment isn’t dullness or apathy. It’s living without personal cravings while being fully alive in service to others. Real joy comes not from chasing desires, but from helping ease the suffering of others. That’s the beautiful paradox—when you let go of self-interest, you find the deepest happiness.

Let your practice be rooted in love, not longing. In giving…find your freedom. 💫

✨ Through practice, yoga reveals the patterns we cling to—our habits, fears, and resistances. It asks us to sit with discomfort, to breathe through it, and in doing so, offers the possibility of transformation.

Curious about Ashtanga Yoga but not sure where to begin? Mysore style is the perfect place to start. ✨
In this traditional method, you’ll receive personalized, one-on-one instruction within a group setting. No need to know the sequence beforehand—your teacher will guide you step by step.
Expect your first sessions to be about 45 minutes, as you slowly become familiar with the practice and begin to memorize the sequence at your own pace. Over time, your practice will naturally grow and lengthen.
✅ Mysore is truly for everyone—whether you’re a complete beginner or returning to deepen your practice.�✅ It’s also a good idea to try our Beginner Classes first if you’d like some extra preparation before starting Mysore.�✅ Commit to 3 days a week and show up by 8:30 am to build consistency.�✅ Just $165 for your first month—the only way to understand Mysore is to experience it.�
✨ After your first month, continue your journey at only $129 per month for your first 3 months of membership.

🧘‍♀️ Come as you are, and begin your journey with us. 💫

🌿 Ashtanga Yoga & Nature: A Sacred Connection 🌿

At Yoga Shala, we honor the deep connection between yoga and the natural world — both are powerful systems of healing, rhythm, and renewal.

Ashtanga reflects nature:
☀️ The daily rhythm of practice mirrors the cycles of the sun
🌕 We rest on moon days, tuning into lunar energy
🌬️ Breathing with sound flows like wind — steady, vital, cleansing
🔥 Tapas (inner heat) mirrors the fire of transformation in nature
🌱 With time and repetition, we grow — just like the natural world around us

🌳 Being in nature:
✨ Lowers stress + lifts mood
✨ Boosts immunity + improves sleep
✨ Reconnects us with what truly matters — presence, peace, and breath

When we step outside and onto the mat, we’re not just doing yoga — we’re remembering that we are nature.

Join us in practice — and experience the healing power of both breath and earth.
🌍🧘‍♀️✨

Bhagavad Gita 18.64-68

Now listen to my final words,
the deepest secret of all;
I am speaking for your own welfare,
since you are precious to me.

If you focus your mind on me
and revere me with all your heart,
you will surely come to me; this
I promise, because I love you.

Relinquishing all your duties,
take refuge in me alone.
Do not fear: I will free you
from the evils of birth and death.

These teachings must not be spoken
to men without self-control
and piety, or to men
whose hearts are closed to my words.

He who teaches this primal
secret to those who love me
has acted with the greatest love
and will come to me, beyond doubt.
