Our beautiful oak dropped a large piece of itself sunday night, including its big heart 💚. Fortunately, the experts say it will survive after some pruning. 🙏
The ramp is out of commission until a structural engineer deems it safe. Stairs are open. Business is as usual.
If you are not able to make it up the ramp for class or an appointment, please let us know.
The tree was otherwise healthy. I'm guessing it had enough of the heat🔥

Benefits of Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II):
*Strengthens the Lower Body: engages and strengthens the front of the thighs, activates and tones the back of the legs and buttocks, and works on improving calf strength and stability.
*Improves Balance and Stability: enhances overall balance and coordination by engaging the core and stabilizing muscles.
*Increases Flexibility: opens and stretches the hip joints, and lengthens and stretches the adductors (inner thigh muscles).
*Enhances core strength and improves posture.
*Boosts Endurance: holding the pose builds muscular endurance and stamina.
*Stimulates Circulation: promotes blood flow to the lower limbs and helps to energize the body.
*Mental Focus: encourages concentration and mental clarity as you focus on maintaining the pose.
*Breathing Efficiency: enhances awareness of breath and encourages deep, controlled breathing.

Avoid Warrior II or speak to your doctor if you have anything of the following:
*Knee Issues: avoid or modify the pose if you have a knee injury or chronic knee pain, as the pose places significant stress on the knee joint.
*Hip Injuries or Conditions: be cautious if you have recent hip injuries, hip replacements, or severe hip arthritis. Modification or avoiding the pose might be necessary.
*Lower Back Problems: If you have lower back issues or recent back injuries, be mindful of maintaining proper alignment to avoid straining the lower back.
*High Blood Pressure: people with high blood pressure should practice caution, as the pose can increase their heart rate and blood pressure.
*Pregnancy: Pregnant individuals should modify the pose to avoid excessive pressure on the abdomen and lower back. Consult with a healthcare provider or yoga instructor for modifications suitable for pregnancy.
*Shoulder Injuries: those with shoulder injuries should be cautious about extending their arms and may need to modify the arm positioning.
*Glaucoma: if you have glaucoma or other eye conditions, avoid turning the head to the side as it may increase intraocular pressure.

Benefits of Happy Baby Pose (Ananda Balasana):

*Hip Opener: Stretches and opens the inner thighs, hips, and groin, improving flexibility in these areas.
*Lower Back Relief: Gently stretches the spine, helping to release tension in the lower back.
*Stress Relief: Encourages relaxation by promoting a calming effect on the mind and body, often used in restorative yoga sequences.
*Improves Alignment: Helps to realign the spine and pelvis, especially after sitting for long periods.
*Calming the Nervous System: Encourages deep breathing, which activates the parasympathetic nervous system, aiding in relaxation.
*Hamstring Stretch: Gently stretches the hamstrings and strengthens the arms as you hold the feet.
*Relieves Fatigue: By stretching the hips and lower back, this pose can help alleviate fatigue and promote a sense of ease.

Avoid Happy Baby Pose, or speak to your doctor before trying, if you have any of the following:
*Knee Injuries: Those with knee injuries or pain should avoid this pose.
*Neck or Shoulder Issues: Use caution or avoid this pose to prevent further strain.
*Pregnancy: In later stages of pregnancy, this pose may be uncomfortable or inappropriate due to the compression of the abdomen.
*Hip Injuries: People with hip issues or injuries should avoid this pose or modify it to avoid aggravating the hips.
*Severe Lower Back Pain: This stretch might cause discomfort or exacerbate the issue.
*Tight Hamstrings: Those with extremely tight hamstrings may find this pose difficult; using a strap can help ease the stretch.
