Glenna Bedoya Yoga & Whole Being Ayurveda

03/04/2026

Hope you’re feeling the feels and enjoying this Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Virgo energy. Thank you to for another beautiful altar for our FULL MOON MOVEMENT this last Saturday 💖 As I’ve said many times…I LOVE SPRING. In Ayurveda it’s an invitation to return to our bodies and “access the creative intelligence that flows through us.”

So many of us are navigating new levels of anxiety and overwhelm…can we start to use those as a signal, a calling from our bodies to return home and “instead of seeing [our] symptoms as something wrong with us that we have to fix, we can try to be curious about what lies beneath, what is causing the lack of ease that we experience…

…continuing with words from, Mystic Mamma,
“INNER PEACE is CULTIVATED BY GOING DEEPER INTO OUR BODIES-OUR BODIES ARE SO MIRACULOUS, [AS WE] DEEPEN OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THEM THRU LISTENING WE CAN INHABIT OUR EXPERIENCE MORE FULLY… RATHER THAN TRANSCENDING, WE WITNESS, WE ACCEPT AND WE EMBRACE WHAT IS, FOR ONLY HERE CAN WE EXPERIENCE OUR WHOLENESS.”

The invitation is this:
WHAT IS YOUR BODY TRYING TO SIGNAL?
WHAT IS THE KNOWING THAT WE ARE TRYING TO BYPASS AND IGNORE?
WHAT CAN WE DO TO BETTER SUPPORT OURSELVES?

May we continue to listen and learn… through practice.

With strength + heart,
Glenna

Happy Solstice Dear Friends!

This longest day of the year is a day to fill yourself up with life!

It is a reminder of our ALIVENESS.

That we too are nature. We exist in the same cycles of letting go and evolving into the new.

My practice of Ayurveda has allowed me to attune to these rhythms.

Ayurveda is both the “science of life” and the “art of living”, but more accurately means “TO KNOW THIS LIFE.”

To know who you are
To know your nature
To know the nature of the cosmos that created you

It empowers you with the tools to take your healing into your own hands.

No one knows you and your body better than YOU.

Ayurveda is the path to a well functioning body and mind. It has provided humans with the healing habits that support our circadian rhythms for over 2000 years.

If you are feeling tired, stressed, overwhelmed with a pain in your gut and/or disconnected from your body and your life…reach out!

This Sunday is the opportunity to connect with community in celebration of summer and to get to know me and Ayurveda. Join us!

I am just returning from a 4 day long pilgrimage in Sante Fe, New Mexico…it is one of the most magical and radical things I have ever done.

It was four days steeped in ritual. A blend of chanting, meditation, somatics, dancing and ritual theater led by a dear friend and colleague.

Sooo much laughter and joy accompanied by tears and rage…a true exploration of all that’s included in our human experience.

An embracing of our aliveness.

The best part? It’s the first time leaving a retreat where I don’t need to pause or re-assimilate back into the real world because there was so much focus on nervous system regulation and integration so we can be ever more present in the real world…and meet it!

I can’t wait to share the magic with you!

I cordially invite you to this Sunday’s Summer Solstice Yoga + Ayurvedic Brunch + Basics Talk.

We’ll practice yoga poses to both celebrate and balance your body for the new season. Expect a slower flow yoga and meditation. Invite your friends! Enjoy your life.

Join us after class for time with friends and delicious Ayurvedic food! Sign up ahead of time for a recipe you will bring to share!

Share a meal with Glenna while she talks about the basics of Ayurveda and the ancient ease of tending to your health (and self) on purpose. This will be the perfect time to ask Glenna your questions about Ayurveda and her upcoming summer series, Micro Habits for Macro Change!

Learning about Alignment changed everything for me.
 
Not just the physical alignment of my yoga practice, but as my body opened - everything else seemed to follow.
 
Alignment is defined as arrangement in a straight line, or in correct or appropriate relative positions. I prefer the secondary definition, a position of agreement or alliance feels more relevant to our yoga practice. 
 
Alignment gets a bad rap because of its rigidity and lack of understanding that every body has a unique blue print…we all have  a different expression of a pose. It’s not about forcing your body into a straight line, but finding a position of agreement - that sweet spot when your bones  line up, your muscles engage, your blood flows, your breath opens, the mind quiets and time stands still. 
 
That is how I experience balance in a yoga pose.
 
When body-heart-mind find a position of alliance - everything comes together.
 
It begins with Tadasana.
 
Also known as Mountain Pose, it is “the pose that contains all poses.” It is an exploration of balancing the lower and upper body, back to front, left to right side, even the diagonal lines of our body.
 
Align your body and everything follows.
 
This Saturday, June 4th at 1:00-3:00pm we will explore what  it means to be aligned…not just in Mountain pose, but aligned anytime and anywhere and able reset your choices with your values…your truest most self guiding you every step of the way.

TONIGHT! 6:30pm…As we continue our journey through the chakras you are asked, how do you feel?

Known as Svadhistana, the Sacral Chakra is our ability to adapt and feel our way through a changing world. Associated with the element of water it is our ability to go with the flow. When this power center is in balance we may experience graceful movement, emotional intelligence, ability to experience pleasure, nurturance of self and others, ability to change, healthy boundaries. This practice is a beautiful part of your evolution.

This warm, level 2 practice is tonight at 6:30pm. Registration and Journal link in bio or comments.
