Empower--soon to be even more awesome.

Starting on Saturday, May 16th, our Saturday morning Empower class with Shannon will be growing from 60-minutes to 75-minutes.

A little more time, a little more space, a lot more empowering.

This extra 15 minutes will give us the space to cool down, learn breathwork techniques, and enjoy a more meaningful Savasana.

Because of our new, longer class, we'll be moving the start time up from 9am to 8:30am.

May 2nd and May 9th will still start at 9am, but from May 16th and beyond, we'll start class at 8:30am. We can't wait to practice with you!

May is an exciting month at Sweet Lotus!

Not only is it our 5th birthday on May 15th, we also have a fun Handstand Workshop on May 1st; our two free community gatherings--Handcrafting Circle on May 3rd and Women's Circle on May 21st; and a special Yoga For Runners class on May 29th that will introduce another new community gathering--Sweet Lotus Run Club--which will start June 5th.

On top of all of that, our 6am Moderate classes will be returning on our birthday week. Join Sheena on Mondays starting May 11th and Melissa on Fridays starting May 15th.

AND...!!

Starting on May 16th, Shannon's Saturday morning Empower classes will be growing from 60-minutes to 75-minutes to allow more space for breathwork, meditation, and longer, more meaningful Savasanas. Because we'll be practicing together a bit longer, we'll be moving the start time from 9am to 8:30am.

Lastly, to celebrate our 5th birthday, we have a special 5-class pass that you can only buy during the month of May. This special pass costs $75, making each class $15--that's $5 off the drop-in rate.

We look forward to a fun-filled gorgeous month of yoga and community with you, friends!

Join Jen this Friday for our next Handstand Workshop from 6:30-8:00pm.

When we turn ourselves upside down, we increase the flow of blood to our brain, heart, and lungs. This boost in circulation improves the available oxygen to the brain, which fosters mental clarity. This simple act of placing your feet over your head can help ward off symptoms of depression and anxiety while building strength, resilience, and the wonderful feeling of trusting in yourself.

During our time together, we will work on building strength and activating the muscle groups necessary for successful time spent on our hands. Jen will guide us through techniques that will set us up for success as we journey toward a confident handstand and arm balance practice.

This workshop is geared toward yogis beginning or continuing to work on handstands and forearm balances. All levels are welcome, but inversions require a certain amount of yoga familiarity that might overwhelm a complete beginner. Balancing on your hands can be stressful on your wrists and shoulders, please exercise care if you have an issue with either of these areas.

Workshop Leader: Jen Daniels
Limited to: 18 participants
Cost: $40 per person

Join us for our next monthly Women’s Circle on Friday, May 8th from 6:30-8:00PM. Share openly, listen patiently, make friends, learn about the phases of the moon, the seasons, and planetary cycles.

We're astrology and nature, a safe space to vent, and most importantly, a network of supportive women from all backgrounds, ages, and perspectives.

Each circle may include movement, breathwork, meditation, or visualization, but most of our time together will be spent in open conversation.

Please dress comfortably and bring a journal or notebook with you.

Our Women’s Circle is a monthly gathering of thoughtful speaking and deep listening. It is a space for women to come together in a sacred circle created with the intention of making each other feel seen, safe, heard, and held. Within the circle, women can share their true selves, find their voice, reclaim their power, and remember their self-worth.

This class is free for all to attend. Advanced registration is not required but it does help us to know how much space to save. If you know that you'll be attending, please sign up online at www.sweetlotus.yoga or through the MindBody app.

Join Jen on Friday May 1st for a playful evening of exploring the joy of being upside down at our next Handstand Workshop from 6:30-8pm.

As spring returns and both energy and light levels are increasing, you may be feeling a bit out of sorts. Maybe you’re trying to get back on track after a winter season of hibernating and now you’re feeling depressed, listless, or exhausted.

Have you considered going upside down?

When we turn ourselves upside down, we increase the flow of blood to our brain, heart, and lungs. This boost in circulation improves the available oxygen to the brain, which fosters mental clarity. This simple act of placing your feet over your head can help ward off symptoms of depression and anxiety while building strength, resilience, and the wonderful feeling of trusting in yourself.

"It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us and makes us unique."

-Conan O’Brien, from his 2011 Dartmouth college commencement address

I've been thinking about perfectionism a lot lately. The idea that we have to be an expert at everything we do, that we have to speak and move and exist without a single flaw, and it's really been bumming me out.

The perfectionism invades every part of my day, even choosing a picture for this post--this photo isn't right because of this body part and this body part and this body part... Even the tiny pumpkins in the background made me pause because it's not perfect to post pumpkins in April.

Sigh. Why do we do this?

Every differently-shaped, differently abled, differently captured part of me is what makes up ME. I'm not you, you're made up of different shapes and different abilities. I'm me. This. And it's my failure to become my perceived ideal that makes me uniquely me.

Friends of all abilities, shapes, sizes, and fitness levels, please join me. Let's work together to release our perceived ideals and embrace our glorious uniqueness.

We have classes for everyone at Sweet Lotus and if you've been thinking that yoga isn't for you because you're too stiff or can't clear your head or can't sit comfortably on the floor--give us a try. If you're scared to try a group class because you're not an expert yet, remember, no one's an expert and this isn’t a recital. It's a practice. Come and practice with us.
