Join Heidi in this 3-part reading 🧘‍♀️ 11 Life Lessons I Learned From Yoga

PART 1:

1
There is great peace in the present moment. In the past, there is a wish to rewrite it, which is impossible. In the future, there can lie fear. Right now, right here in the present moment, I am content, grateful, and full of Joy. Yoga taught me to dwell in that divine space.
2
Each moment we begin again. The Buddhist in me learned about the beginner’s mind, and I moved this knowledge into my heart, off the mat and into the world.
3
It’s not about the pose. Yoga has taught me to appreciate that I can use the breath and my focus to be grounded and present even if I’m sitting in traffic. It has taught me that I can move, but that it’s not a competition. Yoga taught me not to look around the room, Whether or not I do Scorpion pose, I am doing Yoga. I live Yoga.

Think blankets are just for savasana?

Blankets are one of the most versatile (and underrated!) props to add challenge, support, and stretch throughout your yoga flow. Whether you’re looking to deepen your strength, mobility, or mindfulness, here are a few ways to slide into something new:

🌀 Bridge & Core Flow
→ Place your feet on a folded blanket and slide them out and in during bridge lifts to fire up your glutes and hamstrings.

🐾 Downward Dog Challenge
→ Under your feet, a blanket turns your dog dynamic—sliding into pike or plank variations to activate core control.

🌊 Forward Fold Stretch
→ Elevate your heels or toes to change the intensity of the stretch and shift fascia and muscle engagement.

🧊 Shoulder & Neck Relief
→ Tuck a rolled blanket under your shoulders or upper spine in supported fish to decompress and soothe.

🌱 Wrist TLC
→ Slide a small blanket under your palms in tabletop or plank to reduce pressure and strain on wrists.

🌙 Dynamic Lunges
→ Use a blanket under your back knee and slide it back slowly for a flowing hamstring + hip flexor release.

💫 Knee-Friendly Flow
→ Use it under knees for comfort or under the hips for stability in seated poses.

Bring one to class or grab one from the studio—and explore how softness can actually build strength and precision in your flow.

Tag yourself or a friend if you loved this prop-centered flow with Gretchen in last Sunday!

✨ Winter Solstice Yoga Nidra & Sound Bath ✨
Sunday, December 21 | 1:30–3 PM | South Portland Studio

Captured as the seasons shift at Fort Williams Park, these serene moments remind us of the beauty in slowing down and tuning in. And while our shoot included an adorable furry friend 🐶, please note: no pups will be joining us for the sound bath—just cozy props, calming sounds, and deep restoration. 💚

Join Robin for a peaceful Solstice offering of Yoga Nidra + Sound Healing, where you’ll be guided into deep rest through meditation and the harmonic sounds of crystal bowls, flow chimes, ocean drum, and more.

Timed with the Winter Solstice and New Moon, this workshop offers space to reflect, reset, and welcome the return of light—with your whole self.

✨ Benefits include:
🌀 Nervous system regulation
🌀 Emotional balance
🌀 Enhanced clarity and rest
🌀 Deep restoration through sound + stillness

🧘 No experience needed—just bring yourself (and a mat or rent one for $1), wear cozy clothes, and hydrate. The studio provides blankets and props.

Let this solstice be your turning point inward.
Space is limited—register now to reserve your spot!

Yoga connects us—to ourselves and to each other. 💚 At its heart, yoga is more than movement. It’s a shared space for breath, stillness, laughter, challenge, and growth. When we come together on our mats—whether in class, outdoors, or even virtually—we create something powerful: community.

This season, let’s carry that connection off the mat.
✨ Text someone just to say you’re thinking of them.
✨ Hold the door, offer a smile, or give a compliment to a stranger.
✨ Share your favorite pose or playlist with someone who could use a lift.
✨ Invite a friend to class.

Kindness is yoga in action. Generosity is community in motion. And every small gesture ripples out.
Whether you’re showing up for a sweaty flow or just stopping by to say hi, we’re so glad you’re part of our GPY family. 💚
