Peace
Dear Yogis,
With the busyness of the holidays behind us, a new year brings a welcome sense of peace. It’s the perfect time to reconnect with our priorities and gently refocus on what we’d like to cultivate as we move into 2026. With this in mind, let us not forget what yoga teaches us every day. On the mat, that may look like listening to your body, letting go of comparison, or choosing rest when you need it. Off the mat, it shows up in the way we speak, act, and care for one another.
May this year be less about rushing forward and more about moving through life with a deep sense of inner peace.
All my best,
Amy
Pose of the Month
Viparita Virabhadrasana: Peaceful Warrior
This month at the studio we breakdown
Viparita Virabhadrasana: Peaceful Warrior.
Learn how best to practice this pose in any class all month long!
Sutra of the Month
Yoga Sutra 2.35 teaches that when we are firmly rooted in non-violence (ahimsa), hostility around us naturally dissolves. In simple terms, when our thoughts, words, and actions come from kindness we create a sense of peace that others can feel. This sutra reminds us that peace isn’t something we force. It grows from how we choose to show up in the world, starting with compassion toward ourselves and extending outward to everyone we meet.
Oil of the Month
Our January OOTM is:
Pink Grapefruit Oil
“Bright, sweet, and bursting with freshness, Organic Pink Grapefruit is a cheerful citrus oil that uplifts the spirit and revitalizes the senses. Steam-distilled from the peel of organically grown grapefruits, this USDA Certified Organic oil carries a juicy, sparkling aroma that helps ease mental fatigue and promote a more positive outlook. Its lively scent adds a refreshing touch to diffuser blends and DIY creations alike.
When properly diluted, Organic Pink Grapefruit helps purify congested or oily skin, minimize the appearance of blemishes, and restore a healthy-looking glow. Add it to a carrier oil or cream for a naturally balancing toner that leaves skin feeling clean and refreshed.”

Intentional Listening Circle
Sunday, January 11th
6:30-8:00pm
with Kaitlyn Pawlukojc
"I will ask you questions, I will try to understand, and if you give me your story, I will hold it in my hands . . . " Revolutionary Love, Ani DiFranco
Listening is an act of compassion -- for our own selves as well as for one another. In the practice of deep listening, we pause, become present to what is, and connect in new ways. The intention is to listen with the "ears of your heart."
When we speak aloud our stories, the words and emotions shared weave our lives together. This helps us remember that we are not alone and that we can learn from one another. The encouragement is to add your uniquely colored thread to the tapestry.
Please join us once a month to engage in loving listening as we grow our community together. The invitation is to bring what you have and ask for what you need. All are welcome!
FREE to attend (Registration is required)

Through a series of long-held, floor-based poses, you’ll gently release tension from the connective tissues, allowing your body and mind to unwind. Yin yoga is the perfect complement to more active styles by bringing balance, calm, and a deep sense of inner ease.
