“Sthira sukham asanam” is a Sanskrit phrase that appears in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. It translates to "postures should be stable and comfortable". It is often interpreted as a balance between "effort" and "ease". A lesson we can practice both on and off of the mat. Finding our ebb and flow. Entering with intention, activating what is required, readjusting when necessary and to find our breath to bring us back to the present moment.
"I go in and out, don't you?
Into flow and gratitude, and out of it again.
Into grief and hopelessness, and out of it again.
Into routine; cooking, walks, connection
And then into bed, the bath, my head my tears.
These days call for the ability to sway,
sway into reality, sway into empathy,
and back again.
Dip toes into fear, anxiety, awareness
and rest in creativity, distraction, comfort.
We go in and out, like tides
creating our own slow rhythms-
finding the pulse of survival."
-Alex Klingenberg

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS + EVENTS
BLOOMING WITH THE PINK MOON: FULL MOON YOGA & SOUND BATH EXPERIENCE
As the Pink Moon graces the sky this April, join Catherine Walker and Leanne Molnar for a transformative yoga workshop designed to harness the energy of the full moon and the season of renewal. The Pink Moon, named for the blooming of pink wildflowers in the Northern Hemisphere, symbolizes new beginnings, growth, and the awakening of nature. This full moon is the perfect time to shed old patterns and embrace the fresh energy of spring, aligning with the blossoming of both the earth and our inner selves.
In this special workshop, we’ll begin with an invigorating yoga flow led by Catherine Walker, designed to energize and awaken your body. As we move through poses, we’ll focus on letting go of what no longer serves us, making space for new intentions to bloom. After the flow, we’ll settle into a calming sound bath led by Leanne Molnar, allowing the healing vibrations to help release tension and restore balance.
To close out the evening, enjoy a refreshing pink mocktail, a toast to new beginnings and the exciting opportunities the season brings. This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to reconnect with their body, set intentions for the season ahead, and celebrate the beauty of transformation under the glow of the Pink Moon.
What to bring: An open heart, a mat, and a willingness to bloom into the new season with us.
Space is limited, reserve your spot today!
