2024 Holiday Season kicks off with a sale!

As we get ready to jump into the holiday season, I want to take a quick moment to thank you for being a part of our community and supporting this small business. Todd and my vision for this community has been to cultivate a space for wellness and for healing and seeing that come to fruition has been something both of us find so much joy in.

So what's next? We've just wrapped up a really stressful election season after recovering from a global pandemic with another stressful election season. We know that there is still a lot ahead of us and plenty of anxiety about coming economic changes. Every year when we descend into the holiday vortex, I am also working behind the scenes to cement in the next year's Q1 schedule, special events and pricing. Thankfully this business isn't reliant on the shipping in of goods from overseas, but we're trying to make sure we are well prepared in the coming months.

Coming up next week is our biggest sale every year - Black Friday/Plaid Friday. While finalizing those plans, I had an idea to help the studio move into 2025 in strong position AND make a commitment to you to maintain our pricing into next year.

If we can hit a total of 100 sales of the below items over the holiday weekend, we will not increase our pricing on membership, drop ins, packages or privates in 2025. 

5 class packs (yoga)

Unlimited memberships (yoga, new members only)

Private Lesson 3 pack (yoga)

2025 Workshop Package (yoga)

So stay tuned for the email announcement on Black Friday/Plaid Friday that the sales have begun! The class packs will be discounted from Friday through Cyber Monday and each day we will roll out additional discounts on workshops and private lesson packages. We will also feature exclusive retail discounts so please come by to get a head start on your holiday shopping and to say hello!

We'll be pouring the kombucha all weekend!

XOXO,

Lindsey

July: Brahmacharya

We commonly reference the eight limbs of yoga and many of us focus solely on asana, or the physical practice of yoga. The richness of this practice extends far beyond what we experience in our physical body. Two of the limbs, called the wamas and niyamas are commonly paired together. The yamas are the five practices and the niyamas the five restraints.

This month the focus is on the yama, Brahmacharya. This is one of the more divisive yamas as it is commonly translated and described as "purity". Most contemporary religious beliefs include some beliefs and practices around sexual purity - so its understandable why this can carry a negative connotation! Instead of focusing on how you can practice Brahmacharya in that very narrow translation, we want to encourage you instead to consider the also accepted translation of "discipline" or "moderating the senses". There are many ways that this can be practiced, but how we include Brahmacharya is by being mindful of what we consume digitally (social media, movies, tv, etc) and focus on giving space for the things that support us emotionally and spiritually!
