Elevated Yoga

Today, I personally honor the outer freedoms that have allowed me to build a life I deeply cherish in this beautiful country. And I also honor with gratitude the inner freedom that each of us has the capacity to cultivate every day - the freedom to express and speak, to gather, to worship, to build a life, to follow a calling, and to serve others in the way our hearts are meant to serve.

May we never lose sight of the blessings that surround us and may we practice gratitude as often as we practice movement. And may the freedom we celebrate today inspire us to live with open hearts, kindness, and deep respect for one another.

Another fun session for kids starts next week. Just a few spots still available!

Reminder:

No Classes with Elisa tonight.

Yoga Nidra serves as a gentle complement to mental health support.

Every Yoga Nidra script I create is intentionally designed with the nervous system in mind. My approach is rooted in helping participants move from states of stress, overwhelm, or constant activation toward greater regulation, safety, and ease. Rather than striving to "fix" anything, Yoga Nidra offers an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with the body, and cultivate deep rest. Something our nervous systems often need but rarely receive.

Yoga Nidra can beautifully complement therapy by supporting emotional resilience, increasing body awareness, and creating space for healing and integration. While it isn't a replacement for mental health care, it can be a powerful practice alongside counseling, helping people access rest, regulation, and inner resources.

It is such an honor to hold this space and witness the ways deep rest can support overall well-being. 💙

Mark your calendars - Livia from Elevated Yoga is hosting Yoga Nidra sessions on these upcoming dates. You won’t want to miss this deeply restorative practice!

Our wonderful regular members are off enjoying their summer adventures, which means it's the perfect chance for some familiar faces to come back and fly!

If you've done aerial yoga with me before but haven't been in a while, this is your sign! Come join us this week. I'll make the class a little more beginner-friendly so you can ease back in, have some fun, and surprise yourself with what you still remember.

Who says you have to walk across the road when you can walk upside down instead? 😄

Our "Abbey Road" pose is inspired by the iconic Beatles crossing, but with a little more hanging and a lot more fun! 🙃

Come join us, make some memories, and let's see if you can create your own upside-down version of a classic photo! Pre-registration for class is required - either inline or message me to save your spot.

Am I missing anything? 🧐

I've learned that the pose is rarely the point. On the mat or in life, things often feel overwhelming when we are focused on the final destination. We see the full expression and wonder how we will ever get there. The task seems huge, we doubt ourselves, we don't even try or start.

Alignment changes everything. When we pause to focus, establish a solid foundation, and follow one step at a time, what once felt impossible begins to unfold when we no longer are fighting against the process.

The same is true beyond yoga. Like big goals or difficult conversations or new beginnings. They don't require us to have everything figured out from the start. They ask us to stay aligned with the next right step.

Th pose is a reminder that when the foundation is steady, effort becomes more intelligent and what once seemed intimidating becomes accessible.

☀️ Summer Yoga Schedule☀️
Summer is here, and we know vacations, longer days, and busy schedules can make it harder to stay consistent with your practice.

While attendance may naturally ebb and flow this time of year, your yoga practice can be the anchor that keeps you feeling grounded, energized, and connected all season long.

Show up for yourself, whether you make it once a week or twice or three times, every class matters.

May you fully enjoy the light of longest day of the year, a turning point in the wheel of the year. Some extra Sun Salutations will be included in the Power Yoga class this Sunday morning. 🤗☀️🧘🏼‍♂️
