🎉 August is a BIG month at Shabach!
We’re celebrating 8 years in the river on 8/26—and yes, we opened our doors on 8/26/17. All those 8s? A divine sign of new beginnings, resurrection, and renewal. 🙌🏾

To celebrate:
Members can bring a friend for FREE all month long
Try a new class, revisit an old favorite, and reconnect with your practice

Our Theme of the Month is Be Curious, and our Pose of the Month is Warrior 3—a posture that teaches us to balance strength with softness and lean into the unknown with grace.

And guess what? We just launched a blog!
Peekaboo Faith is where Courtenay will be sharing monthly reflections tied to our studio themes.

The first post is live:
“What a Burnt Bagel Taught Me About Curiosity, Mindfulness & Grace”
It’s tender, funny, and deeply real. Don’t miss it.

This month we invite you to
Come celebrate with us.
Let curiosity lead.
Step into the river.

✨NEW BLOG ALERT ✨
I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my new blog "Peekaboo Faith" — going live on 8/1 at 7AM!

Romans 12:6 reminds us to "use the gifts God has given us." While I now lead a beautiful yoga community through Shabach Yoga Studio, I’ve also been blessed with over 25 years of experience in editing, writing, and publishing.

Peekaboo Faith is my way of honoring all of my gifts — blending my passion for faith, storytelling, and mindful living. This blog is where I’ll share honest reflections from the mat and the mess of life, all through the lens of curiosity, grace, and purpose.

This is more than writing. It’s obedience. It’s joy. It’s faith in action.

First post drops 8/1 at 7AM — don’t miss it! Check it out at https://www.shabachyoga.com/peekaboofaith. Read and BE ENCOURAGED.

Today has been a very hard day.

I was all prepared to throw myself a pity party, but something within me shifted.
I remembered my tools: faith & yoga.
Instead of spiraling, I chose prayer.
Instead of sulking, I chose to move my body and shift my energy.

I’m not sharing this for hugging emojis.
I’m sharing because you can probably relate.
And I want to tell you how I’m getting through it.

That inner voice reminded me—you’ve been here before, and you’re stronger now.

At Shabach Yoga, this month’s theme is Be Unapologetically You.
That means honoring every part of your journey—especially the messy, unfiltered parts.

Come as you are.
Step into the river.
You don’t have to walk through it alone.

💫 July at Shabach Yoga: Be Unapologetically You 💫

This month, we’re standing tall in our truth—and inviting you to do the same.

Theme of the Month: Be Unapologetically You
Pose of the Month: Goddess Pose (Utkata Konasana)

Goddess Pose is more than a shape—it’s a stance of power, presence, and purpose. It opens the hips, strengthens the legs, and activates your inner fire. Just like you, it’s bold, grounded, and full of divine energy.

This month, take up space. Speak your truth. Move with intention. You don’t need permission to be who God created you to be.

Come flow with us throughout July:
Core Strengthening Flow
Somatic Yoga for Sleep Health
Gospel Yoga Flow®
Sound Bath Meditation
Chair, Yin, Restorative, and more

Click the link in our bio to download our app and register to flow through July with us!

✨ Why do people choose yoga teacher training? For Nanette, it was about healing—and then helping others heal. 💛

She joined our 200-hour YTT during a challenging time and found tools to manage stress, build stability, and deepen her faith and practice. Now she’s an RYT 500, guiding others with wisdom and compassion.

Your journey can start here too.
Our next 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training begins July 25—and there’s still time to register.

📅 Meets just one weekend a month
