Just in time for the end of summer before school starts, set yourself up to relax, restore, and rejuvenate your body, mind and soul with Miki in this Sound Bath. Miki uses a variety of sounds from Alchemy and Tibetan Singing Bowls, Chimes, and more to lull you into a dreamy and meditative state so you can release stagnant energy and emerge refreshed and ready for fall.

Sign up early as this event has limited spaces available to ensure adequate room for all participants.

Comment "sound bath," and we'll DM you a direct booking link.

We'll be practicing 108 Sun Salutations outside in the park this year as we welcome in Summer!

Did you know that on the summer solstice, we celebrate the longest daylight of the year. It's also a day that as we move from the first half of the year to the second, the sun appears to stand completely still.

In celebration of this sacred day, we will be outside in the park as we move through the sacred 108 Sun Salutations! 108 is a powerful number that represents unity. This special class will be outside at Potomac Crossing Park, with the sun shining and the birds chirping! The asana practice will be from 4pm-6pm but feel free to show up early and stay late with your sangha to further connect and embrace the longest day of sunlight of the year! 

Location
Potomac Crossing Park
508 Shanks Evans Rd NE, Leesburg, VA

SMRITI PARISUDDHAU SVARUPA SUNYA IVA ARTHA MATRA NIRBHASA NIVITATKA
‘The storehouse of memory completely purified, one’s own true-self shines forth beyond thought’
Yoga Sitra 1:43

True self.
Higher self .
True consciousness.
There are many words and only one meaning.

When I move beyond thought, beyond reaction to any object or any thing, my higher self shines through.

Has this sutra landed for you? How?

SHIFT into Spring - 21 Day Challenge! - https://mailchi.mp/fivepeakspoweryoga/tis-always-a-season-to-give-receive-13591769

Our love, compassion and prayers go out to the families, friends and brave service men and women involved in the tragic events last night's fire. Our own Five Peaks community has members affected directly by these events. We will be earnestly seeking ways to be of service for the community and in support of those affected over the coming days and weeks to follow.

What is possible when we commit to using the tools of yoga intentionally and consistently over time?

What is possible when we set our single point of focus on a specific tool of yoga, a specific pose, or even on one body part and then commit to practicing that intention for 21 days?

Welcome to the Shift into Spring 21-Day Challenge at Five Peaks Yoga: Leap Day Feb 29 to Spring Equinox March 20

Here is how it works:

Choose a single point of focus: Make it a tool (Breath, Drishti, Meditation, the Yamas or Niyamas…the possibilities are endless), a pose, a body part, or a specific practice
Commit to a 21-day balanced practice schedule (Balance will include.Yin/ Yang practice as well as stillness and movement) .
Sign up for the challenge, and add your name to our Challenge board in studio!

What’s in it for you?

In addition to an exclusive T-shirt that is available only to those who participate in the challenge, the Yoga Sutra says,

“Mind chatter is controlled by means of practice and non-attachment (to results). Practice is the repeated effort to follow the disciplines (of yoga). Practice becomes firmly grounded when it has been cultivated for a long time, uninterruptedly with earnest devotion.” Yoga Sutras 1:12-14

You will also be invited to a challenge completion party, where we will gather to share what we have learned from our 21 day expereince.

Our challenge will run from Leap Day (Feb 29) though the Spring Equinox (March 19/20), the day of the year when we have equal day and night.

What are you waiting for? Let's make SHIFT HAPPEN!
