Messages like this never get old…

‘I found your Yoga Wall Book, bought the Kindle version for myself, and it’s awesome!’

‘I reviewed it on Amazon and am sharing it with my yoga buddies.’

I don’t know her personally… she found the book on her own.

Today I had the opportunity to teach a corporate yoga class at LLCC for a retirement celebration.

Instead of a traditional party, Tricia chose yoga… sharing that it reflects, “the joy that yoga has brought to my life.”

After 35 years in education, she wanted something meaningful to mark the transition.

So we moved through a practice focused on:
• letting go of the past
• grounding into the present
• opening to what’s next
• moving (and even dancing) into the day ahead

A simple, intentional way to acknowledge a big life shift.

This is something I love about corporate yoga… it can meet people in real moments.

Retirement
Staff appreciation
Wellness events
Team connection

Not just movement, but an experience that helps people pause, breathe, and reset.

If your workplace is looking for something a little different, I’d love to bring this to your team.

Happy Retirement, Tricia. Wishing you well in this next chapter.

Your feet are the foundation of your body.
When they get stronger, everything above them benefits.

Join me for the Foot Strength Lab, a small group session focused on strengthening the feet, improving ankle mobility, and building better stability so the knees, hips, and back don’t have to compensate.

This weekend in Yoga Teacher Training we didn’t just talk about breathing…

We studied the mechanics of how breathing actually works.

The diaphragm is the primary muscle of respiration. It separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity and moves up and down with every breath you take.

When you inhale, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward, creating space in the lungs and allowing air to flow in.

When you exhale, the diaphragm moves back up, helping push the breath out.

Simple in theory.
But many people aren’t using this muscle well.

Stress, posture habits, and years of being told to “hold your stomach in” often disconnect us from our natural breathing patterns.

When breathing mechanics improve, many people notice changes in:

• posture
• nervous system regulation
• stress reduction
• sleeping better
• feeling better
• core support
• rib mobility
• overall energy

Breathing isn’t just something that keeps us alive.
It’s something that can help us live better in our bodies.

This is the kind of anatomy and body mechanics we study inside Balance Yoga’s Teacher Training.

And yes… we teach it in regular classes too.

You do not have to want to teach yoga to take this training.

Some people join to teach.
Some join to understand their own body.
Some join because they’re tired of surface-level yoga.

If you’ve ever left a class thinking…
“There has to be more than just stretching”…

There is.

Balance Yoga’s 200-Hour Teacher Training begins July 31, 2026.

This is anatomy-grounded, alignment-focused education designed to help you truly understand:

• why bodies hurt
• why they compensate
• how to move with precision
• how to teach safely

Whether you want to teach, deepen your practice, or build a second career… this is depth.

Registration opens Monday.
If this is your year, don’t wait.

Think of some shoes like dessert.

They’re not evil.
They’re occasional.

When heels lift the back of your foot,
When toes are squeezed together,
When the sole is rigid…

Your foot stops doing its job.

Over time, that changes mechanics.

And mechanics matter.

This weekend in Yoga Teacher Training we read an ancient story from the Prashna Upanishad about the senses debating which one was most important for survival.

The eyes argued for vision.
The ears argued for hearing.
The nose argued for smell.

Then prana, the life force carried on the breath, spoke up.

Without it, none of the others could function.

The story is a powerful reminder that breath is not just air moving in and out of the lungs. It is the vehicle for energy, focus, and life itself.

Yet most people today were never actually taught how to breathe well.
Stress, posture, and years of being told to “hold the stomach in” have disconnected many people from their natural breathing patterns.

Breathing well is a skill. And it can be relearned.

If you're not sure whether your breath is supporting your body or working against it, come take a class with us at Balance Yoga. We'd love to teach you this forgotten skill.
