Bolder Not Older — Part 3 💥
Barbara and Bonnie are back…

If you’ve been to Parts 1 or 2, you already know: yes, you’ll learn a ton (your feet and hips will thank you)… not to mention the magic that is and together.

Smart, playful, a little unexpected — and a lot of laughs in between poses.

Saturday, May 2
1–3pm in Studio City 🐾

Come for the tips. Stay for the duo. Spots will go. Sign up quick. Either on the website or the free Black Dog Yoga app

Two weekends. Lots of long holds. Plenty of learning.

Congratulations to this great group who just completed the BDY and YV Yin Yoga Teacher Training + immersion with Sigrid Matthews 🐾

They spent the past two weekends exploring the slower side of yoga — patience, anatomy, philosophy, and the quiet power of Yin.

Next up: Restorative Teacher Training later this month (March 28 and 29), and then in the fall, we gather again for our annual 200-Hour Teacher Training with Amy Santiago, Larry Santiago and Sigrid.

If you’re feeling the call to dive deeper into yoga — teaching or simply your own practice — we’d love to have you.

Two speeds of Sunday with Anna Orbison at Black Dog 🐾

4p — Flow it out.
5:30p — Restorative Yoga (aka the deep exhale).🐾

Flow a little. Then slow way down.
Props, blankets, long holds, nervous system reset.

Also worth noting: it’s the only Restorative class on the schedule right now — so if you’ve been craving deep rest, this is your window.

Studio City Sundays done right. Sign up through the website or on the free Black Dog Yoga app 📲

Hands-on assists in yoga can be a hot topic.

We believe they can be powerful — when done with consent, skill, and respect for each body.

In the Yoga Vibe/Black Dog Yog 200-Hour Teacher Training, we teach you how to:
• read bodies
• support alignment
• offer helpful adjustments
• and most importantly — teach people, not poses

Because great teachers don’t just memorize classes. They understand the why, adapt to different bodies, and find their own voice. Plus we cover the real-world business of yoga and immerse ourselves in the kind of community that forms when a group practices and learns together for 10 weeks

Led by Amy Santiago, Larry Santiago, and Sigrid Matthews.
📍 Sept 11 – Nov 15 (Friday nights, Sat/Sun days)
📍 Black Dog Yoga, Studio City

Curious but not quite ready for the full training?

Our Restorative Yoga Teacher Training is coming up the last weekend of March — a beautiful way to deepen your practice or dip a toe into the teaching path. It’s also great for yoga teachers seeking continued education 📖

Everyone wants a selfie with Barney. 🐾📸

On Friday afternoons, checks you in for class, while Barney often shows up to check your snack situation. 🦴 (He’s highly motivated by chew sticks, in case you hadn’t noticed).

Your flight leaves Saturday at 1pm. ✈️🐾

’s Arm Balance Workshop returns this weekend to BDY 🤸 It’s actually Part 2, which means we’re exploring different shapes than Part 1. New entries. New exits. New ways to surprise yourself.

Arm balances aren’t about being fearless. They’re about understanding setup, using props, and learning where your strength actually lives.

Think you “can’t” do them? Perfect.
Already playing with them? Even better. We’ll give you more layers to explore.

Come play. Come fly. Saturday, 1pm in Studio City. Save your spot on the website or the free Black Dog Yoga app

We saw a recent post about letting students be chatty before class. It sparked a conversation. 🐾

At VDT — there’s a little buzz before we begin.
Friends reconnecting.
Mat neighbors finally saying hello.
A quick life update before we move and breathe.

Then class starts. We shift, we focus and the attention turns inward

But that pocket of connection beforehand? We’re good with it. Because that’s part of it, too.
BDY isn’t a silent, anonymous workout room. We’re a community studio in Studio City.
There’s space for quiet (hi, candlelight + yin 🤍). And space for laughter before the first down dog.

Both belong here.

Plushies as props? Yes please. 🐒🤎 Now we just need to find 30 stuffed emotional support monkeys 🐵📸:

Real rest. Slower breath. A chance to reset. ✨

Breathology at BDY this weekend was sold out for weeks — and you could feel why.

With .matthews guiding Yoga Nidra, breathwork, and meditation — and layering percussion beneath the crystal bowls — the whole room dropped in. Nervous systems getting what they needed.

Thank you to every Studio City yogi who softened, breathed deep, and trusted the process. 🤍

The Yang during the week.
The Yin on the weekend.
And today… we celebrate the woman who does both beautifully. 🖤✨ Happy Birthday, — our midweek fire and weekend exhale at BDY 🐾

Tuesdays + Thursdays at 12N → Mat Pilates
• Strong core. Shaking muscles. That deep, sneaky burn. Focused. Fiery. Precise. 🔥

Saturdays at 4p → Yin Yoga
• Long holds. Deep stretch. Nervous system reset. ✨

But today? She’s got it off. 💌 No Saturday Yin — it’s her birthday and Valentine’s Day, and we’re fully in support of her being celebrated properly. ❤️ Jaclyn holds space for strength and surrender all week long. Today, we hope she’s on the receiving end of all that love right back 🖤

Still riding the high from Part 1… so obviously we had to run it back. 😏🐾

Arm Balance Workshop Part 2 with Shiloh Filin is coming in hot on February 28 from 1–2:30p in Studio City

This round we’re playing with:
✨ Flying Pigeon
✨ Grasshopper
✨ Side Crow
…and a few more fun surprises.

Let’s gently retire the myth that arm balances are only for the ultra-strong, ultra-bendy, ultra-experienced yogis. They’re not exclusive. They’re just… misunderstood.

With smart breakdowns, solid technique, and a couple trusty blocks, will show how these shapes become accessible, supportive, and way less scary than they look. It’s less about muscling up and more about setting up.

Come discover. Come play. Come surprise yourself.

Spots tend to go fast—grab yours on the website or the free Black Dog Yoga app 🐾
