As nature is prepping to drop its colors, we’re reminded not to hold on too tightly. True growth happens by nurturing our roots and doing the deep work beneath the surface.

This month is about non-attachment to our outdated rules, beliefs and should haves we’ve been carrying. Even the roles we play and the number of candles on our cake can be stories we don’t need to grip anymore.😚

Our pose of the month, Twisted Roots, that can be enjoyed as a nurturing twist, or a courageous arm balance. This is the season for nourishing twist works the large intestine meridian and the lungs to help us wring out what no longer serves and make space for growth.
September at Glow is about reflecting, releasing, getting strong and making room for what’s next.

We’re looking forward to enjoying this fall season together,

Wishing love, peace,
Natasha and team

Save these questions and discuss at your next dinner or a date! ☺️ Harvest season isn’t just about peaches and tomatoes, it’s also a chance to look back at the first 8 months of the year. Which of your efforts have given fruit? 😍
Which ones never really took root, no matter how much you tried?😏
The truth is, we don’t just sweat our own goals, we often carry the timelines and expectations of our parents, our culture, even society at large. And sometimes we wake up and realize… wait, I didn’t actually choose this for myself.

This harvest season, pause and ask:
Does it serve me, or just cause stress and suffering?
Is it time to compost it, and plant something new?
For me, this honest reflection feels like the real work of growth: appreciating what is mine, letting go of what isn’t, and making space for what lights me up. 🌞

Celebrate what’s thriving, release what’s not, and keep walking to the rhythm of our own drum❤️💕❤️💕

As August arrives, we enter Lughnasadh (also known as Lammas), the ancient festival of the first harvest. Traditionally, this was a time to gather what the earth had grown — to bake the first loaves of bread, to give thanks, and to pause for a deep, honest look at what was thriving… and what wasn’t.
In yoga, we practice Satya, the principle of truthfulness. Not dramatic, not moralistic — but clear seeing. Satya invites us to look at life, our bodies, our habits, our desires — exactly as they are. Not as we hoped they would be. Not as we fear they might be. But as they are. Truth, in its raw, liberating form.
​
This season, Satya meets the harvest. We are seven months into the year — far enough to reflect, and with still enough time to realign. When we live in contradiction to the highest values, when we avoid taking the higher road - we can get stuck in a rat. ​This August, we’re diving deeper into self-reflection.

What have you truly grown this year? What has quietly blossomed in you, despite all odds?
What has withered from neglect, or needed to die off?
Rather than shaming ourselves for unmet intentions, this is a time for honest gratitude and truthful reckoning.
The field doesn’t lie. Neither does the breath.
As your practice continues this month, we invite you to ground your awareness in Satya — to honor what is actually present in your life, body, and heart. This is where healing begins. This is where the next chapter grows.
Take a breath. Then ask yourself:
​
5 Satya-Inspired Questions for This Season of Harvest:
1. What intentions did I plant earlier this year — and which ones actually took root?
2. Where have I been telling myself a story that no longer feels true?
3. What have I accomplished, even if it doesn’t look the way I expected?
4. What habits, relationships, or goals need more of my honest attention — or loving release?
5. What is one truth I’ve been avoiding that might set me free if I finally faced it?

I look forward to seeing you in classes this month as we continue to cultivate self-awareness, clarity, and peace—on and off the mat.

‘I started coming to Glow regularly about 9 months ago, when I had just left a toxic job that had torn me down and my stress levels were insanely high. I was determined to slow down and find a way to manage my stress and anxiety. I always focused on high intensity workouts and heavy weights in the past, so Glow helped me find balance and a different kind of strength.

The sound baths have been the most healing for me. Sitting still and meditating are very hard - my mind is always racing. But now I don’t worry about where my mind might go while I meditate. I’ve become much more in tune with my body and less in my head.

Although I continue to work a high-pressure job, continuing to come to the sound baths and yin classes has been non-negotiable for me - and I’m handling my work stress 100x better now.

I am also convinced that slowing down and doing yoga regularly helped me get pregnant. During a sound bath back in June I had this sudden realization that I was pregnant. But I brushed it off, figuring I was just crazy (lol). Sure enough, about 1-2 weeks later I had a positive pregnancy test. Continuing to come to yoga has helped me manage my anxiety throughout my pregnancy. And I feel confident that practicing yoga has helped prepare my body too - opening my hips/pelvis and keeping me virtually pain-free throughout pregnancy (except now - these final weeks are no joke...).

I’m so grateful to you for providing a peaceful, judgment-free place for me to come to these last few months. I couldn’t have gotten through the last 8+ months without Glow.’ - Nina

Please join me to wish beautiful Nina the sweetest meeting with her adorable mini soon! With 1 more week before due date she is coming in tonight, and I’m so touched and inspired by her wisdom, and determination to be a healthy mom and a human. Also, she and I share the favorite book 📖 and a 🎶 band, woot woot! 😍😍

This month, join us in exploring the yogic principle of Asteya (non-stealing)—not just in the material sense, but also in how we may be stealing from ourselves our potential, and our well-being by undervaluing the sacredness of time, living out of our fears or limiting beliefs. Without treating time as a spiritual resource, we may rob ourselves of experiencing the richness of life itself. We’re here just for a short little while - let’s live it with intention and pleasure.

Please join us in classes and workshops this month, and take us up for 2 rolling challenges
1. Selfcare Rewards - take 12 in-person classes
2. Pillow vs Fitness - take 10 7:30 in-person classes

Congratulations to all our January winners, you did amazing!! Lets keep this massive self-love energy for February and beyond!!
