✨ Just in time for the holiday season ✨
Give yourself a moment to slow down with Kelly this Sunday for a special Yoga Nidra session held from 2-3:30pm. Refill your inner tank, relax deeply, and bring emotional balance back online.

Often called yogic sleep, this potent practice guides you into conscious rest: aware, peaceful, and connected to your inner world.

You’ll be led through Yoga Nidra meditation and soothing imagery to unwind the body, ease emotional tension, and tap into your own innate healing potential.

A gentle reset for the busiest time of year. 🌙✨

Clara will also be holding a Yoga Nidra pop-up class on 12/16 (see class schedule for details).

Just in time for the holiday season, Yoga Nidra comes as a respite and refuge to refuel the inner tank, relax the body and balance the emotional spirit.

Indian mythology is rich and diverse, filled with stories of deities and sages that illuminate the spiritual philosophy at the heart of Hinduism and yoga. The Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Bhagavad Gita (a part of the Mahabharata) bring the philosophical teachings of the Vedas and Upanishads to life through story, symbol, and the human experience.

The Ramayana tells the story of Lord Rama, his wife Sita and his loyal companion, Hanuman, who is a half monkey-man, half human god (father is Lord Vayu, the wind god).

In one tale in the Ramayana, Rama’s wife, Sita, is kidnapped and when searching for her, Hanuman sees the island of Lanka, which has not yet been searched. In order to see if Sita is there, Hanuman must take a literal and figurative “leap of faith” over an ocean to the island. He kneels down, prays to his father (the wind god), and summons every iota of faith he can muster to take this leap, all while chanting Rama’s name in deep devotion. Spoiler alert: he makes it and finds Sita. That’s not the end of the story, but it’s the end for now

This imagery of the “leap of faith” is represented in our asana practice through hanumanasana (split pose or monkey pose) as a pose of devotion, faith, and surrender. We take a leap of faith when we come to any yoga practice or class. We put faith in our teacher to guide us, and we put faith in ourselves to do the practice to the best of our ability. We devote ourselves to the practice.

Some food for thought:

✨When was the last time you took a leap of faith?
✨What's stopping you from taking your next leap of faith?
✨How does it feel to envision taking the leap?

Annie here! I wrote about non-attachment in the most recent WSY newsletter. Do you subscribe? Here's an excerpt!

Fall brings on significant change (in weather, schedule, clothing, etc). Particularly during this time of the year (and while the world simultaneously feels chaotic), it can seem hard to ground yourself, so I ground myself in my practice.

In my practice (abhyasa), non-attachment (vairagya) has been coming up a lot. In simple terms, non-attachment means to let go or release expectation.

Non-attachment doesn't mean we become indifferent or aloof to the matters of the world. Non-attachment teaches us to not be attached to a specific outcome and to be in the present moment of what's happening.

Imagine you decide, "I want to go for a walk on my favorite trail." When you get to the trail, the leaves are falling, the temperature is perfect, and you have a very pleasant walk. You feel joyful. Imagine the same scenario, but your trail is closed for maintenance, and you can't go on your walk here. How do you feel? Do you still feel joyful? Or do you feel disappointed?

One practicing non-attachment might say to themselves, "That's disappointing, but I can discover a new trail today or I can come back tomorrow. I feel joyful."

Attachment to a specific outcome causes suffering. You expect something, you get disappointed. Non-attachment helps us release from ups and downs, so we can maintain a certain level of steadiness in our lives.

This doesn’t mean we are complacent or we don’t have goals that we wish to attain or that emotions don't come up. It means, when there is a roadblock, we don't get completely derailed. Non-attachment helps us to stay steady on the path and to see things as they truly are.

What are the small ways you can bring non-attachment into your daily life and your practice?
