🌊✨ Recently, I stood on the beach with a dear friend as the waves rolled in, one after another, caressing our feet and ankles. Each time they pulled back, the sand slipped away — the foundation beneath us shifting, dissolving, reshaping.

It felt like a mirror of life itself. The chapters unfolding before me have been stirring within my heart for months, even years, perhaps even decades, and now I feel brave enough to share them with the outside world, to speak them aloud. I trust that this is my dharma, the path that God and the universe have set before me. Some chapters are closing, even as new ones, radiant with promise, begin to rise.

The ocean whispered its timeless truth: every ending carries the seed of a beginning, and the rhythm of change is as constant and eternal as the tides. Like prana flowing through all things, life moves in cycles of letting go and receiving, guided by sankalpa and the surrender of Ishvara Pranidhana.

If you, too, are moving through shifting foundations — through the sacred balance of endings and beginnings — I invite you to join me this Saturday at 4:30 for a restorative practice infused with Reiki energy healing. Ground yourself, rest in the mystery, honor what is passing, and leave refreshed, more relaxed, and ready to open to the unfolding paths before you — living in alignment with Ahimsa, your heart, and your soul’s purpose.

Much love,
💙 Karen Durgapriya

🌟 They walked in as trainees… and taught like seasoned teachers. 🌟

✨ Proud Yoga Mama Moment ✨

Yesterday was something truly special — my three amazing teacher trainees taught their very first combined class, and they absolutely shined. 🌟

I’m super proud of the dedication they’ve poured into their training, and how beautifully they’ve deepened their personal practice along the way. Watching them step into the studio and guide with such insight, heart, and skill was pure joy.

I’m excited to see them finish their journey strong — and to witness all of the students they will inspire with their beautiful, thoughtful teaching in the future. What an honor it is to guide them through this path. 💛

Gentle Relax and Restorative Yoga is a calming practice that helps you slow down, recover, realign, and rejuvenate.

The first half of class, Sonja will guide you through soft and gentle movement that prepares your body and mind for deeper meditative stillness and relaxation. During the second half of class, props such as bolsters and blankets are used to completely support your body in gentle poses that are held for up to 2-5 minutes.

Expect to release excess tension in the muscles to allow for full relaxation of the body and mind. This class is perfect for anyone and everyone, especially those who need extra TLC, those seeking deep relaxation and alleviation of stress, or those recovering from illness/injury. It’s the best way to end a work week and the best way to start your weekend.

Do you have a gratitude practice? 🙏🏽

Before going to bed each night, remember and repeat to yourself all the things for which you are grateful.

It’s a simple practice that can have profound benefits. Give it a try 💜

Welcome to Krista Boren, our newest teacher at Collective Yoga!

Get to know more about Krista from our short interview, and take class with her on Wednesdays at 6:00 PM.

WHAT BROUGHT YOU INTO YOGA?
I moved from Europe back to the States and my two children went to live with their biological father for six months and that completely changed my life. It brought me to the journey of sobriety, which brought me to the journey of yoga. I started to do yoga on my kitchen floor in my house and I completely fell in love with the practice.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PRACTICING?
I’ve been practicing consistently since 2021, when we all had to get quiet and sit with ourselves more often, when everything kind of slowed down.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING, AND WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE STYLE OF YOGA TO TEACH?
I’ve been teaching for two and a half years now, and I’m pretty rooted in my Baron Baptiste method from Hot Spot Power Yoga in Jacksonville, Florida. That’s my favorite type of power yoga to teach.

WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR STUDENTS TO WALK AWAY WITH FROM YOUR CLASSES?
I want my students to find what feels good, to explore their body and fall in love with themselves, and their practice. And also to find that silence and stillness, and just feel the power that we all have within us. So, that journey of their own self, I hope that my students find that.

DO YOU HAVE ANY LAST THOUGHTS, ADVICE, OR TIPS FOR US?
Keep showing up. Keep unrolling your mat. Keep sitting with your journal, your book, and finding that introspection and diving in and listening to your inner self.

Please join us in celebrating love and all types of motherhood in this special Mother’s Day event!

Ceremonial cacao is known for its heart opening properties, allowing us to connect with unconditional love present within ourselves and each other. As we sip this sacred plant medicine together, we will open our heart space to gratitude for all the nurturers and maternal figures in our lives, for our beautiful Mother Earth, and for the loving spirit of “Mama Cacao”.

In addition we will be welcoming the energy of the “Flower Moon” as we open up to the abundance of the season. With our hearts open and ready to receive, we move right into a beautiful sound journey. Sound journeys use the vibrational energy of sound to create a meditative state, helping participants to release tension, calm the mind and foster a sense of inner peace.

Both Joan and Debbie are Reiki Master practitioners, and they infuse their offerings with loving Reiki energy. This magical gathering, including sacred ceremonial cacao, the harmonizing power of sound, and Reiki energy, offers a unique opportunity for self-awareness, for deepening connections and fostering a sense of gratitude, peace and unconditional love.

Space is limited Registration is required. Sign up on MINDBODY or call the studio 757.201.9044.
