Repost @messagewithabottle 🙏🏼

Missed you while you were gone @thebalancingotter, but we’ll see you next week ☺️
.
Nicolas returns from vacay, not only to his regular 9am Monday/Wednesday Mixed Level Flow, but also covering the 12N Tuesday/Thursday classes for @paigecarloh while she’s away on her Peruvian adventure ✈️
.
Lots of options for you, whether you prefer your practice to be chill or spicy. See our full schedule of in person classes in Studio City and livestreams to your place on our website (link in bio) and the free app 🐾

Can you believe it? We’re already almost a year in our new(ish) space 🤯
.
If you haven’t yet checked out an in-person class in Studio City, come join us in our beautiful practice room with high ceilings, lots of natural light and plenty of space to move and breathe. Find us on Moorpark, just a block west of @tujunga_village 🛍🍰 where you’ll find lots of small businesses (just like ours) to shop, eat and drink at ☕️🍷
.
We know some of you have moved further away, or out of LA entirely. That’s why there’s also a full livestream lineup, so you can do yoga with BDY anywhere you want 👩‍💻 Our full schedule of class options are on the website (link in bio) and the free app 🐾

Yoga can mean breathwork. It can mean a restorative pose. And yoga can mean a beautiful headstand, demo’d with such grace by @zoe_wirth 🙌🏼
.
Take Zoe’s class and she’ll probably greet you by name. (Or learn it fast if you’re new to us.) And ask how your vacation went. And remember that injury you told her about last time. It’s about connection and we like to think of it as the BDY way. Join Zoe on the mat Tuesdays and Thursdays at 715p for in person Candlelight Flow 🕯 Our full schedule of classes is on our website (link in bio) and on the free app 🐾

Enjoying the last bit of season 🌸

Did you know that jacarandas aren’t native to California? However they’ve been part of life for a century, blooming from April to June, covering the streets and sidewalks with purple flowers 🌺
.
The end of jacaranda season means it’s is also Summer Of Love season at BDY: unlimited yoga from now until August 31 for $400. It’s the second best deal after BDY Club. Get at the front desk, on the website (link in bio) and the free app 🐾

Says it all, but feel free to add to the list. What else means to you?

Thanks @spiritdaughter for the reminder 🙏🏼
.

Thanks BDY yogis for making yet another Soundbath + Restorative Yoga event so special 🙏🏼
.
Sold out 3 months in a row with big props to @amy_melinda and @lilabassior for creating such an experiential event 🙌🏼 We’ll take June off to make room for @sigrid.matthews Yoga Nidra Workshop, but will be back with another evening of sound healing in July 🧨
.
Speaking of Yoga Nidra, that special event is happening Saturday, June 25 from 530p-630p. Sigrid will take you through a form of guided meditation, sometimes called “yogic sleep” to take you into the deepest form of relaxation 😌 It’s $30 in advance and $35 at the door. Sorry, unlimiteds and class series don’t apply. Space is limited, so reserve your spot ASAP on the website (link in bio) and the free app 🐾
.

The BDY crew. Not just great teachers and desk staff. More importantly, good human beings too 🙌🏼
.
Say hey to @stephaniegrecoyoga 👏🏼 Find her Mondays and Fridays at 12N for Mixed Level Flow and Thursdays at 9am for Hatha Yoga. She’s also part of our Memorial Day lineup this Monday. Be sure to check out our modified holiday schedule resumes and sign up for class either on the website (link in bio) and on the free app 🐾

We’re fortunate to have such a wonderful community from all walks of life, many of whom are educators and teachers. Someone practicing next to you might be one. Someone on the mat next to you might be a school psychologist or nurse. Someone might be a student. Or someone just dropped off their kids at school. That person might be gone forever tomorrow through no fault of their own because of a senseless act of violence. That’s how close to home this hits. Yes, it’s a mental problem. Yes, it’s a gun violence problem. Both can be true. Perhaps someday we can put our needs before our wants.

We had some classes yesterday where tears were shed. We come to our mats to find solace, with an opportunity to work through grief. Yoga is powerful and healing. Hug your loved ones. Be kind to a stranger. And take care of yourself 💕

Yin for the win! 🏅 Congrats to our Yin Yoga training grads 🎓👏🏼
.
Such a good group of yogis who finished up their 2-weekend immersion into Yin on Sunday. And thanks to @sigrid.matthews and @redbecca108 for leading the training and sharing your knowledge of the practice 🧘‍♂️
.
Lots of good stuff coming down the pike at BDY. This weekend, it’s Soundbath on Saturday at 530p. Sigrid has a Yoga Nidra workshop June 25th at 530p. And of course, our next training, the Fall 200-Hour kicks off in September 🍂 Everything’s on the website (link in bio) and the free app 🐾

Pink hair, don’t care 👨‍🦰 TBH, it’ll probably be a different color by the time we lost this. Anyway, lots of birthday love for the birthday boy @thebalancingotter 🥳🎂
.
So glad to have Nicolas Diiorio in the BDY 💕 What we love about his classes are that they’re both challenging and accessible 👏🏼 Find him Mondays and Fridays at 9am for Mixed Level Flow, with your choice of taking him in person in Studio City or from home via livestream 💻
.
Speaking of, our Summer Of Love special covers both in-studio and online classes; unlimited all summer from June 1 to August 31 for $400 🌞 Grab it and sign up for class on the website (link in bio) and the free app 🐾
