Nourish & Grow Yoga

Core health isn’t just about strong abdominal muscles.

In this week’s Roll & Release class we’ll use therapy balls to gently massage the muscles and connective tissue of the abdomen. We’ll then move into supported yin yoga stretches that create space through the front of your body.

Whether you're looking to release tension, improve mobility, or simply slow down and reconnect with your body, you'll leave class feeling more open, grounded, and refreshed.

Join us for this monthly offering to create more freedom and ease in your body.

Have you ever noticed how a change of scenery can reinvigorate you?

There's something about stepping away from your everyday routine that helps you come back with fresh eyes. New places, new experiences, and even a different pace and rhythm of life have a way of reminding us to be present.

Whether it's a vacation, a walk through a new neighborhood, or simply spending an afternoon outside instead of indoors, sometimes a change of scenery is enough to help us reset.

These are a few of my favorite moments from a recent trip. I hope they inspire you to find your own little adventure before summer comes to an end.

What's your favorite way to recharge?

Your lower back carries more than you realize.

Tonight, give it a chance to release, restore, and reset with Roll & Release.

Roll & Release combines targeted myofascial release with therapy balls and the slow, supported holds of Yin Yoga to help work into areas that tend to hold onto tension. Especially the lower back, glutes, hips, and surrounding areas.

This class is for you if you’ve been feeling:
- Tight or achy through your lower back
- Stiff in your hips or glutes
- Like your body needs a really good reset
- Ready for something slower, intentional, and restorative.

Ashley will guide you through the entire practice, and all of the props are provided. No experience needed.

Come as you are and leave feeling a little lighter, a little looser, and a lot more connected to your body.

You deserve this time.

We all need rest sometimes, and there isn’t a single perfect number of rest days that works for everyone.

How much recovery you need depends on the intensity and frequency of your workouts, your experience level, your sleep, your overall stress, and how your body feels.

Some people may benefit from one or two scheduled rest days each week. Others may need more frequent recovery days, especially when starting a new routine, returning after time away, managing pain or illness, or navigating a particularly stressful season.

Rather than following a rigid formula, pay attention to patterns and how your body feels.

Starting yoga can feel confusing.

Instead of leaving you to figure it out alone, Nourish & Grow Yoga starts you out with two weeks of unlimited access, a personalized practice plan, and the guidance to begin with confidence.

We had a great time at the Lavender Barnyard today.

My students told me how wonderful it was to practice out in nature, to feel more connected to the earth through yoga and meditation, and how great a chilled towel (lavender-scented, of course!) feels while resting in Savasana.

Summer might be winding down, but there's still plenty of beauty in this season to soak up.🧘😎🪻

The Lavender Barnyard

Summer has a way of speeding by.

We spend these warm, sunny months trying to fit everything in—gardening, backyard barbecues, vacations, festivals, time with family and friends. Before long, it's mid-August, and we're left wondering where the season went.

Whenever I catch myself feeling like time is slipping away, it's usually a sign that I need to slow down and come back to the present moment.

That's exactly what yoga at The Lavender Barnyard is all about.

Instead of rushing from one thing to the next, give yourself permission to pause. Breathe the fresh air, move your body, settle your mind, and enjoy this beautiful season while you're in it.

Join me tomorrow:

11:00 AM — Slow Flow Yoga
12:00 PM — Guided Meditation
1:00 PM — Yin Yoga

Summer won't last forever, but the moments you slow down enough to truly experience often become the ones you remember most.

I'd love to share one of those moments with you. 💜
