Pranayama
Our breath can be a powerful tool to help us stay present, centered and feeling sane in this overwhelming world. In Yoga we refer to working with the breath as Pranayama, which means to harness the power of prana (life force energy), via the breath. Some translate Pranayama to breath control, but ultimately the practices are not about mastering control, but rather about creating freedom.
Asana
Yoga postures are definitely not a “one size fits all” kind of thing. To make the practice truly steady and comfortable, we have to fit the pose to our body, not our body to the pose. It’s important to find the essence of each posture and then to explore how that essence comes to life for you, by using props, changing the orientation of your body, or simply exploring a different way to expand into yourself.
Mudras
Mudras are symbolic hand gestures used in yoga and meditation to channel energy and influence the flow of prana (life force) within the body. They can help to deepen focus, balance emotions, and enhance spiritual awareness. Each mudra holds unique significance, promoting physical, mental, and energetic well-being.
Language of Yoga
Understanding Yoga at its roots is fundamental to a well rounded practice. Sanskrit can be scary and Yogic philosophy can be overwhelming. So lets break it down into manageable bites that you can easily digest, enabling you to deepen your understanding of not only the practices, but yourself as well.

Come celebrate the Winter Solstice with us, honoring this time of reflection, renewal, and turning toward the light. Join us for a challenging, yet inspiring afternoon at the studio where together, we’ll honor this sacred moment with 108 sun salutations. Guided by Kate Thuss, this practice will enriched by a recording of Swami Satchidananda, featuring mantras that correspond to each pose of the practice.
Move at your own pace — there’s no need to complete all 108 sun salutations to experience the power and beauty of this ritual. This rhythmic and meditative practice will be followed by a deeply grounding Yoga Nidra session to restore and center. Let’s welcome the light and step into the season ahead with intention.
