Dear YogaSource family,
Explore transformative practices designed to enrich your mind, body, and spirit. Discover techniques to enhance your inner peace, physical health, and creative expression.
We are overjoyed to announce that we have been voted the Best Yoga Studio in Palo Alto in two publications – Palo Alto Weekly and The Almanac! This incredible honor, awarded by our wonderful community, fills us with immense gratitude.
Thank you for being an essential part of our community. We are excited to continue this journey together and look forward to seeing everyone in our daily classes at the studio.
On July 13, 20224 at 1:30 pm, join Shivani Patel in the “Meditation and Journaling: Creating Possibilities” where you will be immersed in a Yoga Nidra meditation practice. Here, Shivani will be guiding you inward for deep relaxation and insight, then you will have time to journal, reflect, and practice self-discovery. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to blend mindfulness with personal expression, unlocking new possibilities within yourself.
Have you ever wondered how small, precise movements can lead to significant breakthroughs in your overall physical health? Join Kiersten Jakobsen for the “Interstitium & Fascia: The Space Between Micro Movement and Whole Body Breakthrough” workshop on July 27, 2024 at 2:00 pm to discover the answer. In this unique session, we’ll guide you through dynamic movements using conventional asanas like Crescent Pose and low lunge. Come and discover how can we build greater strength, mobility, healing, and recovery through fascial conditioning.
Just like physical movement is natural medicine for our bodies, so is our own sound vibration. Come and join Alyse Romano as she brings back Vocal Activation Circle! On August 2, 2024 at 7:45 pm, let’s exercise the throat which helps us connect with our expression, creative power, and highest truth. Alyse will guide you through vocal warm ups, Mantra (sanskrit), Medicine Music Sharing and vocal exploration. Together we will exercise our voices to increase the transmutation, creation, and expression power of our throat chakras.
Confidently express yourself and let your dance be your moving meditation. Feel your movement from the inside out and make space for your authentic movement to express freely through you with Alyse Romano’s Embodied Dance: Authentic Movement workshop on August 3, 2024 at 1:00 pm. This session will focus on authentic movement: your natural movement that occurs when the mind takes a back seat and lets the body flow freely.
Take the break you deserve and join us for a transformative yoga retreat designed to refresh your body, mind, and spirit. Join Hillary Acer from Oct 2 – 6, 2024, for Serenity in Sedona, a 5-day immersion in the Arizona desert, and enjoy daily yoga classes that weave together breathwork, meditation, and movement. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat to disconnect from the hustle of city life, looking to deepen your yoga practice, or simply in need of a nature-filled escape, this Yoga and Hiking Retreat offers it all.
Get ready to sweat and build your cardiovascular endurance, stamina and strength! Practice Core + Strength with Denise Henry every Tuesday and Thursday at 11:00 am. The exercises are constantly varied but focus on core, upper body and lower body combinations. This class will build cardiovascular endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, coordination, balance and will enhance your performance and fitness for any activity or sport.
We invite you to Natalie Javid’s Restorative Yin Yoga class, designed to help you find deep relaxation and inner harmony. Join her every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30 pm for Restorative Yin, where students will be guided through a period of meditation, intention setting, and a gentle warm-up practice that flows and slows down into a deeply healing Restorative practice.
We’re ecstatic to have Kristine Tom back in the studio! Join her and practice Power on July 17, 2024 at 9:30 am as she subs for Nadia. Kristine’s teaching style integrates the fields of Psychology, Neuroscience, Biomechanics, Physical Therapy, and Mindfulness Meditation – which is perfect for the class! Power is an energetic style of Yoga that synchronizes breath with movement. It emphasizes strength, flexibility, and endurance.
We’re thrilled to announce that the YogaSource Spiritual Book club will be starting on a new read! Join Shivani Patel as we reflect and dive into Boyd Varty’s acclaimed work, “The Lion Tracker’s Guide To Life”. Boyd Varty, a lion tracker and life coach, reveals how the wisdom from the ancient art of tracking can teach you how to recognize these essential ingredients in a meaningful life. Join us in our first meeting on July 23 at 7:45 pm!
