Celebrating Community
Dear Yogis,
This month marks nine years of Oyster Bay Yoga, and while so much has changed since our very first class, the heart of this space remains the same: people coming together to move, breathe, reflect, and grow.
To celebrate this milestone, we’re dedicating June to you. All month long, we’ll be hosting special events, sharing weekly raffle prizes, and inviting members to bring a guest to class on us. We’ve even brought back our suggestion box because your voice helps shape this studio, just as much as your presence does.
We want to thank you, whether you’ve been with us since day one or just unrolled your mat for the first time! This studio wouldn’t be what it is without you, and we’re so grateful to keep growing together.
All my best,
Amy
Pose of the Month
Parighasana : Gate Pose
This month at the studio we breakdown
Parighasana : Gate Pose.
Learn how best to practice this pose in any class all month long!
Sutra of the Month
Sutra 2.39 from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras teaches that when we release our attachment to possessions such as material, emotional, or even mental, we create space for deep self-awareness and spiritual insight. Practicing aparigraha (non-hoarding or non-grasping) allows the mind to quiet and the inner self to become clearer. This reveals the deeper truths of our existence, including the nature of our past and the potential of our future. Letting go opens the door to understanding who we truly are.
Oil of the Month
Our June OOTM is:
Seabreeze Citrus Oil
“Seabreeze Citrus is an invigorating aroma crafted to refresh and revitalize the senses, blending bright citrus notes with cool, light hints of sea air for a scent that’s as uplifting and inviting as a fresh ocean breeze. Perfect for anyone who craves a cheerful scent with a touch of seaside serenity, it’s your go-to companion for the arrival of warmer days. Add a few drops into your diffuser to fill your space with a breezy, sunlit vibe or mix it into your favorite DIY projects, like soaps, room sprays, and lotions.”
-Plant Therapy
Enjoy 20% off your purchase of Seabreeze Citrus essential oil all month at the studio.

Women’s Circle
Sunday, June 1st
2:00-4:00pm
with Kaitlyn Pawlukojc
“Yoga helps us to remove all obstructing (mental) clouds, so that we may come to enjoy the sunshine within. It is an extensive program of reeducation through which we learn, step by step, to live the light of our true nature. Only when we have truly found ourselves will we be able to live in peace, harmony, and happiness in the world.” - Georg Feuerstein
Consider deepening your personal practice by engaging yoga as a way of life. Every second Sunday from 2-4pm, we gather to create sacred community by grounding in our breath, gently moving our bodies, settling into our hearts, and listening for our inner knowing. This experience of mindful inquiry encourages you to show up for yourself and one another as we explore the spiritual in every day life. Your level of participation is up to you as we honor the Light and Love within and among us all.
Registration is required to attend. This event is FREE.
We gratefully welcome donations to help sustain and grow the Women's Circle, ensuring it remains an ongoing space for connection and healing.
