Those Santa Ana winds did a number on our sign, but it’s back up 🙌🏻 It might be a little rougher around the edges, but aren’t we all 😮‍💨 (Is it STILL January?!)

Walk through the door and what will you find? It could depend on what you’re looking for. To stretch and/or strengthen? Yes. To breathe and find stillness? Also yes. To find community? Absolutely 💯 So no matter if you need to escape the noise, find some calm or simply just have the day off, we’re here for you.

We’re sure you can relate. The texts, calls, messages. It’s what community is. When you really need it. Even when the fires subside, the impact will continue. Keep reaching out and checking on one another 🥰 and hold your people close

We’re here and open when you need us. And if you are and know of a first responder or fire victim that could use a yoga break, DM us and we’ll set up a guest class for them 🙏🏼

We’ve been in fire mode mindset all week, but couldn’t let the weekend pass without wishing a happy birthday 🎂

Caroline’s been on holiday for the last couple weeks and celebrated another year on Friday. Wish her well when she returns next weekend for her 1130a Saturday Basics 🎊

The devastation is in fathomable 😢Some of us are able to count our blessings while so many others have lost so much. All we can do is offer support the best way we know how and hold space for those affected while at the same time processing our own feelings. Even those of us in the Valley felt a tinge of that anxiety when the Sunset Fire near Runyon Canyon and the Sunswept Fire in Studio City brought things closer to home.

These are the times when having
community to rely on becomes so important.

Aparigraha 🕉️ It’s part of the Yoga Sutras and from Sanskrit means, among other things, non-attachment. And that’s the mindset we hope to begin the New Year with 🎊

In yoga, we can practice Aparigraha by letting go, to move forward; whether it’s freeing ourselves of expectations while on our mats. Or of letting go of things that weigh us down, when we’re off the mat IRL.

We choose gratitude on this first day of 2025; reflecting on what we had, have and will.
