Good news – we are in full-on summer cleaning mode in the studios, getting ready to welcome you back to in person classes for a soft-reopening in August!

February, 2023 “The heart opens. The heart closes. This is the systole and diastole of human life. We may imagine that we want our hearts to stay open, but full-hearted generosity – with others and with ourselves – is all-inclusive. It is not a command. It is an invitation...
From the beginning of Source Yoga, I have had a strong desire to use the platform of our business to make a difference. Of course I know that yoga in itself makes a difference in the bodies, minds, and hearts of those that practice. But I also have always known that I wanted to expand that beyond the confines of the studios and into the greater community around us.
A couple of years ago, I was looking at how I wanted Source Yoga to give to our larger community. From our very first year in business, we offered Thanksgiving donation classes, giving the proceeds to local service organizations, and donated regularly to many local schools and other non-profits. We have offered scholarships for workshops and events provided by our “Source Yoga Scholarship Fund,” but I kept asking myself, “How can we continue to make an even bigger difference?”

I invite you to bring Beginner’s Mind to your practice and to your life this month. What would it be like if you didn’t have to get it right? If you didn’t have to be perfect? What if you allowed yourself to be a beginner, to make mistakes, without self-judgement and self-criticism? What if you could approach anything from a place of being brand new?

When I taught on New Year’s Day morning, I was happy to see my regular Monday morning crowd. I am not a rah-rah kick butt yoga teacher, and if you come to my class regularly, you probably know this about me. I just couldn’t get fired up about inspiring my...
