Welcome Home! 🙏🏽💜

Today we honor our teachers and our teachers’ teachers, who’ve lit the path and offered compassion, guidance and their hard won experience along the way. We’re especially grateful to our recent guest teacher Kino MacGregorall of the dedicated teachers who’ve devoted their lives to lighting the way. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

In the yogic tradition, Guru means “remover of darkness.” They help us learn to see the light already within. We deeply appreciate their remarkable ability to see people, not just their yoga practice, but their character, their potential, and what they need at any particular moment.

A masterful teacher recognizes that two students may need completely different instructions to approach the same posture. And for us, that is one of the defining qualities of the Ashtanga method.

Yoga is about more than postures. It is a lifelong practice of humility, discipline, presence, and coming home to yourself. That journey isn’t solely about opening the shoulders, hips or spine, or developing stronger legs. It requires patience, persistence, and a willingness to change both body and mind.

Today, we are celebrating the lessons, and all the teachers who have shaped our lives and communities in ways they may never fully know. 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

On Guru Purnima, perhaps take a moment to think of the people who have quietly helped you move forward. Not only spiritual teachers, but all those who, at the right moment, helped us grow into who we are. Parents, school teachers, coaches, mentors, friends... the people who saw something in us before we could see it ourselves.

To the ones who guide us home, thank you. May we walk with reverence, courage, and love. 🕊️

Happy Guru Purnima. 🙏🏽
