Full Circle Yoga

09/10/2026

Our Yoga Teacher Trainees spent time this past weekend unpacking cultural appropriation vs. appreciation in yoga: what it looks like, why it matters, and how to teach with real respect for the tradition we've inherited. We talked about honoring yoga's roots in Indian philosophy, the responsibility that comes with teaching sacred practices, and practical ways to study, acknowledge, and give back to the culture yoga comes from.
We also went deep on the nervous system — how stress actually works in the body, the difference between hyperarousal, hypo-arousal, and true regulation, and hands-on tools for helping students (and ourselves) come back to a state of safety and presence.
This is the kind of training that makes someone a responsible yoga teacher, not just a certified one.

Huge thanks to Karina Mirsky for leading such a thoughtful, rigorous weekend — this material shaped how our teachers will show up in the world.

Yoga Bootcamp: A 6-Week Deep Dive
Let's bust a myth: yoga isn't just a workout. It's not about touching your toes or nailing a handstand for the 'gram — it's a life hack, a real toolkit for finding freedom in your body, mind, and soul. It's a whole system built to help us work with suffering, not just push through it. This bootcamp is your invitation to meet that bigger version of yoga.
No competition, no judgment, no need to already know what a klesha is. Just come curious, and leave with something you can carry off the mat.
Over six weeks, we're going to slow down and dig into what yoga actually is…the parts that don't always make it into a 60-minute class. Each week blends practice with real discussion, so you're not just moving through it, you're understanding it.
What we'll cover:
Week 1 – Asana: Getting grounded & learning how our bodies move
Week 2 – Pranayama: The breath as the bridge between body and mind
Week 3 – Pratyahara: Turning inward and quieting the noise — from your phone and from your own head
Week 4 – Yamas & Niyamas: The ethical heart of yoga — how we treat others, and how we treat ourselves
Week 5 – Kleshas: Naming the obstacles that keep us stuck
Week 6 – Meditation & the Koshas: Bringing it all together and sitting in what remains
Begins October 8th - Ends November 12th. 6-7:15pm. $108 for the full 6-week series. Come with an open mind and comfy clothes. That's it.

New or intimidated by a heated class? This series is the perfect gateway! This series focuses on accessible posture alignment and breathwork to navigate the heat. Rather than rushing through postures, we will hold poses longer to gradually increase muscle flexibility and strength. Each class builds upon the previous to improve confidence, accessibility and skill. Move mindfully with intentional breathwork to find balance in the heat.

4-week series, October 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th. 6-7:15pm. $65. Registration is required. https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=39457&stype=-8&sView=day&sLoc=0&sTrn=100000145&date=10/07/26

✨ A Weekend of Bhakti Yoga with Luna Ray ✨

Have you ever felt a moment of pure aliveness...a piece of music, a sunset, a hug from someone you love...where your whole body just opened? That's the doorway into Bhakti Yoga: the path of the heart.

This October, join Luna Ray for two special offerings that blend somatic awareness with the ancient practices of devotion, mantra, and ritual.

Friday, Oct. 2 | 6:00–9:00pm | Soma, Mantra & Magic

In Sanskrit, soma means "the juice of life," and mantra means "to protect and purify the heart and mind." This evening begins with a gentle introduction to Somatic Experiencing® and a short bhakti-inspired asana flow, then moves into the language, history, science, and psychology of mantra. We'll close with a powerful group ritual weaving together mantra, community, and somatic practice...an invitation for the magic to emerge.

Bring: a yoga mat + a sacred object meaningful to you (a photo, something from the earth, a piece of jewelry — anything that holds meaning).

Sunday, Oct. 3 | 1:30–3:00pm | Yin Yoga & Live Music

Slow down and settle in for a deeply integrative yin practice with Luna. Through stillness and beautiful music, the body will soften, the mind will melt into the present moment, and your inner radiance will have room to emerge.

Why come?
Somatic practices help us build our capacity to be present with the full range of what we feel...not just the comfortable parts. When we combine that awareness with the heart-opening tools of Bhakti Yoga...mantra, ritual, devotion...we create space to feel more alive, more connected to ourselves, to each other, and to the world around us.

You don't need any experience with Bhakti Yoga to join. All you need is a willingness to feel. Join us!

Shift Happens: Kundalini Yoga for Seasonal Transition
_
Change is in the air and moving into fall requires a shift from the expansive, outward, fire-driven energy of summer to the more grounded, subtle, reflective, and air-driven energy of autumn. In Ayurveda, fall is governed by Vata dosha, which embodies cold, dry, light, and erratic qualities. When Vata becomes excessive during this seasonal transition, it often manifests as anxiety, restlessness, dry skin, and digestive issues.

This 4-week Kundalini Yoga series is explicitly designed to ground the nervous system, strengthen the immune system, and transmute accumulated heat (Pitta) to prevent seasonal burnout. Through somatic movement, physical postures (asana), dynamic breathing techniques (pranayama), sound current (mantra), and meditation, Kundalini yoga provides an energetic blueprint to align with the changing rhythms of nature.

This series is for anyone, No experience is necessary, all are welcome!

4-weeks series $65. October 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th at 6:30pm. Registration is required https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=39457&stype=-8&sView=day&sLoc=0&sTrn=100000020&date=10/05/26

Formerly known as Bikram Yoga, this class is a throwback to where it all began in 2001.
26 postures and 2 breathing exercises practiced in a heated room. Improve flexibility, strength, and balance. Increase mental focus, lung capacity, circulation. Lower heart rate, lose weight, move out toxins, move in Peace...list of possibilities goes on and on.

We start with Pranayama breathing, filling the lungs to oxygenate the body and prepare for postures. There is a standing posture series to encourage balance and strength and then we move to the floor for deeper work in the spine and major joints. In 90 minutes we will have worked 100% of the body in some way or another. We will see improvements every week and I encourage you to commit to your weekly class the best you can. Consistency is where you will see and feel true change.

If you have not done this class for a decade or more do not worry, we will be taking things slow, having fun and giving ourselves permission to be where we are and loving it. “Do the posture correctly, have good form and all benefits will follow.”
This is not about doing things we used to be able to do, it’s not about pushing ourselves into places we used to be able to go. It’s about renewing ourselves in this present moment through physical challenge and mental focus.
It’s about coming together and working hard for a flow experience and tapping in to something bigger and more powerful than ourselves.

This class is for beginners! There are many steps and paths into a yoga posture and none of the postures we practice in this series is of an advanced nature. There will be more focus on breath, form, and rest. You will never be asked to keep up, do more, go further, but instead encouraged to take your time, enjoy the process, and go easy. If you have any questions or concerns
contact Lori @304.588.5674. Cannot wait to see you there!!

Space is limited, commitment is necessary
October 4th- November 8th
Sundays 4:30-6pm

BHAKTI EMBODIED: A SOMATIC BHAKTI YOGA WEEKEND with Luna Ray

Join Luna Ray for an inspiring weekend as we use a body-centered approach to explore the mystical and heart opening practices of bhakti yoga. According to Staci Hines, Somatic practices are about growing our capacity to be present with a wide range of sensations and emotions. We will study the path and practices of Bhakti Yoga, including mantra, song, ritual and more to expand our Somatic awareness, and our ability to feel alive and connected to ourselves, each other and the world around us.

Friday October 2nd, 6:00-9:00pm.
Soma, Mantra & Magic: In sanskrit, Soma means the “juice of life”. Mantra means "to protect and purify the heart and mind".
This evening workshop will begin with a simple overview of **Somatic Experiencing (™), followed by a short accessible bhakti yoga asana flow.
We will then learn the in's and out's of mantra, from the language of, to the history of, to the science of, to the psychology of.
The evening will conclude with a powerful Bhakti yoga ritual that will merge, mantra, community, and somatic practices.

This will give us access to “the juice of life”, and the magic will emerge.

You will need a yoga mat and a sacred object that is meaningful to you. (i.e.- pic of family, something from the earth, jewelry, etc…)

**Somatic Experiencing TM (SE) was developed by Peter Levine, Ph.D. to help people heal and thrive. It is a gentle, and effective approach to healing trauma. SE uses the “felt sense” (learning to feel body sensations) to explore where energy may be constricted, and even “stuck” in the body.

This can be acute trauma, (i.e. car accident), chronic trauma (i.e. body pain), developmental trauma (i.e. childhood challenges), or intergenerational trauma ( i.e. trauma carried through your ancestral lineage). Trauma here is defined as an emotional state where the nervous system is too overwhelmed to complete a healthy flight, flight or freeze cycle.

Instead of the energy dispersing from the body, it gets stored in the body, and can affect the brain, organs, and emotions. This constricted energy in the body shapes the way one experiences themselves, and the world. Over time, this can cause chronic pain, anxiety, depression, challenges in relationships, digestion, hormonal, or immune system weaknesses, and more. The body is very wise, and when we slow down, listen and feel, a lot can happen. With this awareness of the body, the “stuck” energy can begin to release in gentle ways.
