Manifestation
Dear Yogis,
Happy March! As we transition from winter’s stillness to the renewal of spring, take a moment to reflect—what are you hoping to bring into your life? A specific intention, or simply a greater sense of balance and clarity? According to Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras 4.13-4.14, everything in our world exists in different states of change, shaped by perception and energy. What if transformation isn’t about forcing something new, but about seeing through illusion, shedding what no longer serves you, and making space for what is already waiting to emerge? Join us in the studio as we explore these timeless teachings and step into spring with fresh awareness.
All the best,
Amy
Pose of the Month
Garudasana: Eagle Pose
This month at the studio we breakdown
Garudasana: Eagle Pose.
Learn how best to practice this pose in any class all month long!
Sutra of the Month
Yoga Sutra 4.13-4.14 explores the nature of reality and the ever-changing forms of existence. Sutra 4.13 explains that all objects—both tangible and intangible—exist in potential, active, or subtle states, influenced by the three gunas (sattva, rajas, and tamas). This highlights that everything we perceive is a manifestation of these fundamental energies. Sutra 4.14 states that an object’s essence remains unchanged, but its appearance and experience shift based on the observer’s perception and the interplay of the gunas. Together, these sutras remind us that while the external world is constantly in flux, the deeper essence of things—and of ourselves—remains steady. Understanding this allows us to cultivate a sense of detachment and clarity, recognizing that our experiences are shaped by perception rather than absolute truth.
Oil of the Month
Our March OOTM is:
Sweet Orange Oil
“One of the brightest citrus oils of the bunch, Organic Sweet Orange is a great essential oil that holds even greater benefits. Its refreshing, juicy aroma can help cheer up any environment and boast any stale-smelling room. It can help ease nervous tension, uplift feelings of sadness and can also support normal functioning of your immune system. Dilute Organic Sweet Orange into a carrier oil and apply it to your skin to help brighten and reduce dullness.” -Plant Therapy

“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.
