We have been working on various diversity & inclusion initiatives for years, the details of which we will be making much more transparent in our future. The first matter we wish to bring to light is our YTT Diversity Scholarship, which we began raising funds for back in February of this year. We have opened up this fund for our community to donate to at any time, will be offering regularly scheduled donations based classes to raise funds, and will also be providing a full scholarship in our upcoming training to one of our diversity scholarship applicants. Our goal in this effort is to continue to cultivate a more diverse and representative teaching population in our area. Let us know if you are interested in learning more or applying.

Join us for Community Outdoor Yoga Class & Meditation practice these three days. Times TBD OUTSIDE EVENT at 2000 Kraft Drive green space Limited to 25 in person outdoors.
|

HEAT IS ON IN STUDIO - HOT CLASSES WILL BE SET TO 85 & ALL OTHER INDOOR CLASSES 75
|
Limited to 9 with more than 10 ft. of social distancing between mats.
Between classes we will use our two exhaust fans and open windows for fresh air exchange. The exhaust fans pull fresh air from outside in for circulation and exhaust out the current air.
We will use our Radiant heat panels. Radiant heat is transmitted through electronic waves. When these waves are intercepted and absorbed they are converted into heat. The radiant energy is absorbed by objects in the room and warms the space similar to your clothes absorbing the light from the sun vs blowing heat in the room through vents similar to your home forced air unit.
Online & Outside Options also available

CREATE YOUR OWN AT HOME YOGA RETREAT
TEMPLATE TO DESIGN YOUR OWN
RECLAIM YOUR BALANCE

Morning Practice with us, get outside in nature, afternoon practice, evening restorative practice and pranayama, free time, hydration and healthy eating to reset your energy and cultivate balance.

TIPS TO CREATE YOUR AT HOME YOGA SPACE
|
If you are able to dedicate an entire room to your home yoga space, consider a repaint of the walls with a natural earth tone or calming color. If you need to dedicate a space in a room versus the entire room, try to get the space around you as clean as you can so you are able to come back to that consistent space each day.
For either - simplify and declutter to make the space feel calming. Accent your space with plants or any meaningful object you would like such as a singing bowl and your favorite props. Make it feel clean and cleanse the space with fresh air, sage, vibrations from a singing bowl and sunlight. Create a special area where you can relax and enjoy your practice. Join us for over 40+ online classes per week - start your IBY Membership with us and also receive access to over 425+ On Demand and Audio On Demand at your convenience.
Hope to practice with you soon!
