Anacortes Yoga Sanctuary

Sometimes it's just good to go back to basics.
Here is one of those poses that you will learn right from the beginning of your Yoga journey.

The Cat-Cow pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilisana) is a gentle flow between two shapes on your hands and knees. It links your breath to the movement of your spine to build flexibility, warm up your back, and ease tension.

If you wanted to give it a try, here is the easy steps to see if it feels good to your body:

1.Start in a tabletop position on the floor with your hands under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.

2. Keep your spine flat and your neck long.

3. Inhale into Cow pose: Drop your belly toward the floor, lift your chest and tailbone, and look straight ahead or slightly up.

4. Exhale into Cat pose: Round your back toward the ceiling like an angry cat, tuck your tailbone under, and bring your chin toward your chest.

5. Repeat the flow smoothly for 5 to 10 breaths, moving at your own pace.

Are you remembering to be easy on yourself?
Life can life really hard sometimes and we just want to remind you that you are doing amazing job!

If you are looking for a little more peace in your life this week, come spend a little time with us.

When you break it all down, yoga is good for you because it improves physical health, mental well-being, and stress levels. Key benefits include building strength, increasing flexibility, and reducing anxiety.

If any of that resonates with you, come see us. Your first class is actually on us to make sure this is something you would like to make part of your life.

Getting touched by your yoga teacher to some can be a bit much.
What we have done at AYS is give you access to a card that lets your teacher know how you feel about being touched at that moment. One side says it’s ok, and the other asks gently not to be given feedback with touch.

We value how you want to be interacted with so you can feel safe in all of our classes.

Still not sure? Come try your first class on the house. We would love to show you the way of Yoga🙏

Yoga might be the exact think that has been missing in your life. Your body, mind, and soul with thank you.

Not sure? No problem. First class is always on us to help you decide if this practice feels good to you or not.
