Past Tense

Sound baths: no water required. 🤭

For this edition of The Lowdown: Stuff Worth Knowing, we’re breaking down what a sound bath actually is, the science behind it, what you might experience, and the different tools and instruments that create all the sound.

And yes, there can be many more instruments involved than the ones pictured here. Singing bowls, mallets, gongs, chimes, drums, harmoniums, and other instruments can all make their way into a sound bath depending on the practitioner and experience.

Curious what it feels like for yourself? Kelly is leading a sound bath tonight, Sept. 3 at 7:30pm, and there are still a few spots left!

Come get comfortable, slow down, tune in, and see what you notice.

New to yoga? Coming back after some time away? Or maybe you just want a little more space to explore the foundations?

Beginner Vinyasa gives you time to learn, explore, and get familiar with poses and transitions that show up again and again in your practice.

No experience required. Just a place to land, begin— or begin again.

Start here. We’ll meet you on the mat! Our schedule is linked in our bio! 💫

Introducing The Lowdown: Stuff Worth Knowing 💫

A new series where we break down the things you might see, hear, or wonder about in your practice.

First up: Props

They can support, strengthen, challenge, help you release, and also make a familiar movement or pose feel completely different.

Blocks, bolsters, blankets, bands, tune-up balls and more ~ consider this your official introduction.

A simple prop can do a lot!

Today’s feature: Yogalates

If you’ve been curious but weren’t quite sure what to expect, we’ve got you covered. Swipe through for the who, what, and what-to-expect. Then save this post for the next time you’re planning your movement for the week!

Have you taken Yogalates, or is it still on your list? 💫

Whether you’re outside the city, across the country, or staying in your in-laws’ guest room, your practice can travel with you.

In a world that constantly asks us to move faster, Slow Flow offers something different.

A little more time to breathe.
A little more time to align.
A little more time to notice what your body is trying to tell you.

This intentionally paced class blends movement, strength, and mindfulness without rushing from one pose to the next. Longer holds and deliberate transitions invite you to feel the poses, check in with your alignment, and connect more deeply to your breath.

It’s not about doing less, it’s about experiencing more.
