Ask five yogis what makes the perfect cheeseburger and you'll get five different answers. That's kind of our whole philosophy here: everyone's practice looks different, and that's the point.
Here's how our team takes theirs.

Elizabeth goes classic smash burger, all the fixings.

Melissa is smashed, pickle, onion, and garlic aioli.

Cheryl says mushroom swiss with grilled onions on a pretzel bun.

Karina keeps it simple, plain cheeseburger.

Kelly skips the cheeseburger entirely (we still love her).

And Jenny? Patty melt, always.

What's your order? Tell us below.

Grace over perfection. That's one we live by on and off the mat. Some days your practice is deep breaths and stillness. Other days it's just showing up. Both count. See you on the mat this week.

You do not need to be a yogi to come to this.

You do not need to be flexible. You do not need yoga pants or a special mat or any experience whatsoever.

You just need to show up.

Move for a Cause, Practice with Purpose is a Vin to Yin class, which means we start with gentle flowing movement and ease into long, restful holds. It is one of the most accessible styles of yoga there is, and Elizabeth and Jenny will guide you through every single moment.

This is for you if you've been yoga-curious and never tried it.
This is for you if you used to practice and lost the thread.
This is for you if you just want to do something good for yourself and for women in your community on a Saturday afternoon.

October 3rd · 1 to 3 PM · Springboro Eagles, Springboro OH · Suggested donation $10 to $150 · All proceeds benefit Womanline.

Healing. Whole. Heard. Come as you are.

Boat Pose: The Most Hated Pose in Yoga? 🚣

Let's be honest. Nobody walks into class hoping for boat pose. We've heard it all: "I can't do boat pose I get seasick." "My abs are staging a protest." "Can we just skip to savasana?"
And yet... your core, your balance, and your hip flexors are all quietly thanking you every single time you hold it.

Why we incorporate it into practice anyway:
✅ Fires up your entire core

✅ Strengthens hip flexors and spine stabilizers

✅ Builds the balance that keeps you steady on stairs, ice, and life in general

✅ Improves digestion by actively engaging and compressing the abdominal organs

Variations:
🔹 Bend the knees, feet stay on the floor. Helpful if you are building strength and you feel boat pose in your lower back.

🔹 Hold under the thighs for support while you build strength.

🔹 Use a strap around the legs and the back.

Lets hear your thoughts....
Do you love boat pose it is your jam / or do you groan inwardly or out loud when we come to a seat a little early in the practice?

Tag your favorite boat pose buddy. Misery loves company, but so does core strength. 😉
