You belong here.

Those words have been part of RealJoy Yoga from the beginning.

Because we believe yoga is less about what you can do with your body and more about how you learn to be in relationship with it.

Presence over performance.

You don’t have to be more flexible. More experienced. Stronger. Calmer. Thinner. Younger. Or better at yoga.

You get to show up as you are.

And tomorrow, as we celebrate RealJoy Yoga’s third anniversary, we’re opening our doors and inviting you to experience that philosophy in three different ways:

Yoga Basics: I want to move gently and intentionally.

Flow: I want to challenge myself without performing.

Yin: I want to slow down without having to accomplish anything.

Different practices. Same invitation.

Come into our spacious, candlelit studio. Grab the props you need. Take up some room. Meet the people practicing beside you. Move when you want to move. Rest when you need to rest. Pay attention to your own experience.

Because belonging isn’t about fitting yourself into a room.

It’s about discovering that there is room for you exactly as you are.

Tomorrow, there’s room for you at RealJoy.

What if the point of yoga wasn’t to do more?

Yin is a different kind of yoga.

Instead of moving quickly from pose to pose, we slow everything down. We use longer-held poses, stillness, and lots of props to give you time to settle into your body, release tension, and notice what you’re actually feeling.

At RealJoy, Yin isn’t an occasional specialty class. We offer it nearly every day because we believe slowing down matters.

Yin can be physically powerful, but there’s nothing to keep up with and nothing to perform. We use our huge collection of props generously, and you’ll have plenty of room to spread out in our spacious, candlelit studio.

The practice can help quiet some of the noise, reduce stress and anxiety, and leave you feeling calmer, more grounded, and more connected to yourself.

This Sunday, 9/20 at 11:30am, experience RealJoy Yin for FREE as part of our 3rd Anniversary Open House.

Come exactly as you are.

There are some things a screen can’t give us.

We can work from home. Shop from home. Exercise from home. Watch a yoga class from home. We can communicate with hundreds of people without actually being in a room with any of them.

But there is something different about showing up.
Walking through a door. Putting down your phone. Rolling out a mat beside other human beings. Being greeted by name. Moving and breathing together.

Having a place you return to often enough that people notice when you’re there.

RealJoy Yoga is a place to reconnect with your body, but it has also become a place to reconnect with other people.

You don’t have to be outgoing. You don’t have to know anyone. You don't have to fit some image of what a yoga person looks like.
Just show up.

There’s room to breathe here.

You belong here.

Join us Sunday for our free 3rd Anniversary Open House.

What if you could challenge yourself without having anything to prove?

RealJoy Flow is an active practice. We move. We build heat. We strengthen. We balance. We move from the floor to standing and back again. There is absolutely a workout to be had.

But the goal isn’t to keep up with the person beside you or take the hardest version of every pose.

We offer options throughout the practice so you can choose where you want to work, where you want to challenge yourself, and when you want to back off.

You can work hard without performing.

This Sunday at 10am, experience RealJoy Flow for FREE as part of our 3rd Anniversary Open House.

Come ready to move, breathe, build strength, and pay attention to your own experience.

Want to try yoga, but not sure you want a fast-paced class?

Maybe you want to move, stretch and build some strength, but you don't want to spend an hour trying to keep up. Maybe getting up and down from the floor repeatedly isn't particularly appealing. Or maybe you simply want yoga to feel good rather than feel like something you have to perform.

Yoga Basics might be exactly what you're looking for.

This Sunday at 8:45 a.m., I'm teaching a special FREE Yoga Basics class as part of RealJoy Yoga's 3rd Anniversary Open House.

We'll move slowly and intentionally, with time to actually feel what's happening in each pose. We'll stretch. We'll strengthen. We'll balance. We'll breathe. We'll spend time on the mat and some time standing, without constantly moving up and down. And you'll always have options for making the practice work for your body.

This isn't yoga you have to be “good at.” It's an opportunity to slow down, release some tension, reconnect with your body, and leave feeling better than when you walked in.

Sunday, September 20 at 8:45 a.m.
Free. No yoga experience required.

You belong here.

Just keeping it real over here. Sometimes yoga doesn't solve your problems. Sometimes you just need to make an ice cream run.

Oh, and next Sunday 9/20 we are celebrating our 3rd anniversary at RealJoy Yoga! 3 free classes. Links to register in the comments.

What’s your relationship with uncertainty?

Not whether you like uncertainty. Most of us don’t.

But what happens in you when you don’t know what’s going to happen? When you’re waiting for an answer? When something is changing? When there simply isn’t enough information yet to know how things will turn out?

I’ve been developing, teaching, writing about, and living with these questions for years, and I’m incredibly excited to finally bring this work into a room with other people.

On Friday, I’m opening registration at RealJoy Yoga for something I’ve never offered before:

REALJoy Living: Befriending Uncertainty

A six-week experience exploring what it might mean to become a more conscious participant in our relationship with uncertainty, rather than treating uncertainty as a problem we can finally solve.

I can’t wait to share this!
