Just a little reminder that you don’t have to chase every new habit or keep up with every trend. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is slow down, breathe, and listen to your own inner voice. You’re already more than enough. 💛

Ari’s classes are where strength meets play. She blends advanced poses with precise alignment cues, grounding somatic practices, and strength-inspired flows to get you out of your head and into your body. Expect a challenge, but also space to explore—because yoga is humbling, silly, and meant to be fun. Whether you’re building strength, refining technique, or getting upside down, Ari’s goal is to help you feel more connected, confident, and at home in your body.

“Elevate yourself through the power of your mind, not degrade yourself, for the mind can be the friend and also the enemy of the self.” — Bhagavad Gita 6.5

It’s easy to think that pursuing ourselves means chasing success, accumulating things, seeking approval, or grasping at what never truly satisfies. Yoga teaches that the deepest fulfillment doesn’t come from what we accumulate; it comes from what we cultivate within. When we quiet the mind and turn inward with curiosity and devotion, we become our own greatest ally. We live from a place of clarity, peace, and purpose. As we align with this inner truth, the outer world naturally follows, falling into place with greater ease, harmony and wholeness.

If you’re ready for THIS kind of pursuit, teacher training may be on the horizon…

OCTOBER 2025 - MAY 2026
Applications are open now 🤍

are you practicing “𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥“ yoga?

this concept of perfection follows the human experience everywhere.
the looking around on the mat to make sure you’re doing it “right”.
yoga is not folding yourself into a pretzel any more than it is going to work or making dinner for your family.
yoga simply, 𝐢𝐬.
every breath, every step, every thought…it’s yoga.
even if you never step foot inside of a classroom, you still practice yoga should you choose to be aware of it.
pranayama, asana, mantra, meditation; these are all just outlets. pathways to connect deeper into something beyond yourself.

to practice, is to jiggle the imaginary door handle of all you could ever be.

you are becoming the key to the reality you would like to live.

Science is slowly catching up with what yogis have known for centuries—yoga transforms not just the body, but the brain.

A new review of studies reveals how yoga boosts brain function, improves mood, and helps ease symptoms of depression, anxiety, and even PTSD.

As the winter months settle in, this ancient practice can be a powerful antidote to seasonal blues.

Here’s what the research found:

🧠 Yoga sharpens your brain:
• Regular practice strengthens areas tied to memory, focus, and learning
• MRI scans show yogis have a thicker cerebral cortex (for processing information) and hippocampus (for learning and memory), areas that usually shrink with age.
• Yoga may help slow age-related cognitive decline and boost mental sharpness.

💙 Yoga lifts your mood:
• Increases GABA, a brain chemical linked to calmness and reduced anxiety.
• Activates the parasympathetic nervous system through deep, steady breathing—bringing the body into a state of rest and ease.
• Reduces emotional reactivity, helping you respond to life’s challenges with more grace and less stress.

🤲 Yoga settles the mind:
• A review of 15 studies found yoga is one of the most effective complementary therapies for easing depression and anxiety—especially in older adults.
• Yoga’s mood-boosting effects were found to last longer than other relaxation techniques, including massage and music therapy.
• Research also shows yoga can reduce symptoms of PTSD when used alongside other treatments, helping to calm intrusive thoughts and emotional overwhelm.

✨ ❄️The science is real, but the magic is felt. As winter continues on, let your practice be a source of warmth, clarity, and deep inner connection. Yoga doesn’t just help you get through the season—it helps you bloom within it. 🪻

So you wanna get physically AND emotionally strong and steady?

Find Strength at Your Center—Core Flow Mondays & Thursdays at 4:30 PM

Your core is more than just muscles—it’s a center of power, stability and confidence. In yoga, intentional core engagement is about creating a foundation for deeper movement, injury prevention and energetic alignment.

Core Flow Class Focus🫴

Support & Stability – A strong core helps support your posture, your spine and allow for safe, sustainable movement.

Strength Before Openness – Before we expand into deep backbends or twists, core activation ensures we move with integrity and balance.

Energetic Fire (Manipura Chakra) – Located at the solar plexus, this energy center is connected to confidence, willpower, and transformation.

Strengthening your core isn’t just physical—it’s personal empowerment.

See you there 😉
