Get ready to flow through a fun, invigorating, and adventurous two-hour hybrid of all three Rocket Yoga series (Ashtanga Inspired). 

This strong and inspiring journey blends power and play as you work inside and out, take flight, go upside down, and explore expansive postures, rhythm, breath, focus, and energy. 

Jasmine brings her vibrant spirit and deep practice to guide this dynamic experience.

Expect moments of stillness and challenging practices of meditation, breathwork, drishti (gaze), and bandhas (energetic locks). Optional adjustments are offered. 

All levels are welcome with some previous experience required. Come ready to sweat, explore, and lift off.

When do you actually like yourself? Some of the ti When do you actually like yourself?
Some of the time?
Never?
Only when things go perfectly in your already predetermined idea of how youโ€™re meant to look or sound?

Or can you say always?

Because honestly, how often are we putting ourselves in the outhouse without even noticing? The tone we never use on a friend becomes the tone we use on ourselves. And then we wonder why we feel so small, so insignificant.

Think of what happens when someone demeans you or mocks you. Notice how that lands in the body, how it chips away, how it changes how you see yourself. So why do we think doing that to ourselves is any different?

Liking yourself always doesnโ€™t mean loving every choice or pretending that we donโ€™t, at times, mess up. In fact, life is a colorful, messy art project.

Showing up for yourself and not abandoning yourself in the moment you need support the most is part of what it takes to like yourself.

Maybe today is a good day to practice answering always, even if it feels awkward, even if it feels new.

Remember, you can still wish you handled something differently and still stand with yourself. You can still say I didnโ€™t love that and still stay kind.

Maybe thatโ€™s the whole practice.
Standing with yourself and remembering youโ€™re someone worth liking.

Throwback to July ๐Ÿ”ฅ It wasnโ€™t just hot outsid Throwback to July ๐Ÿ”ฅ
It wasnโ€™t just hot outside, it was hot in the studio too.

Meno, Jackie, and Angie earned that glow after Angieโ€™s fiery hot Santosha flow.

Three amazing teachers/practitioners sharing sweat, smiles, and the post-practice bliss we all know and love.

Grateful for these incredible humans and the energy they bring to our Santosha community.

Grounded in truth or stretching into story? The m Grounded in truth or stretching into story?

The mind can quickly build a narrative that is completely false.

There is a tendency for the mind to fill in the gaps, project meaning, and turn moments into stories, even when they are not based in truth.

Right knowledge arises through three means: direct perception, inference, and reliable testimony.

You may not know every yoga posture by heart, but when a skilled teacher explains it with clarity and lineage, you trust the teaching.

What if you paused to ask, is it true?
And noticed the moments when the mind clouds perception, when stories take over before truth has even had a chance to land.

Kirstinโ€™s heart share is our newest blog โ™ฅ๏ธ Kirstinโ€™s heart share is our newest blog โ™ฅ๏ธ
This is how it begins:

โ€˜Friends. You are welcome here and you belong here.

If you donโ€™t always feel like you belong, yet a tiny part of you remains open to the idea that it may not be the whole truth โ€“ these words might change your life.

And although this is hardly the whole story for me, itโ€™s as good a place as any to begin.

I remember distinctly the moment these words landed, unexpectedly, channeled by a wise and beautiful stranger whoโ€™d Iโ€™d later call one of my great teachers as I settled into her class. And I broke. I couldnโ€™t have anticipated the degree to which I would be impacted by such simple language. But the potency of her words penetrated me, and my cracks began to show. The foundation I had built and lived upon had started to shift and as it did, I too, began to come apart.

A series of less than gentle awakenings delivered me to the truth of my reality: that the world in which I felt alone, unwelcome and an outsider to โ€“ had been in large part my own creation.โ€™ ~ @kirstindoesyoga 

Read the full piece through the link in our bio.

If you havenโ€™t met Kirstin or practiced with her yet โ€“ she is an exceptional human. Heart-led. Powerful. Courageous. Devoted to the practice and devoted to life. She listens, really listens. She keeps learning, keeps exploring, and she shares from a place that is honest and brave. She is willing to swim into the depths.

We are incredibly lucky that she joined Yoga Santosha after completing her teacher training with us in 2023, and is now one of our beloved teachers. 

Thank you, Kirstin, for sharing your heart, your prose and for reminding us that we all belong.

Come meet Kirstin on your mat:

Thursdays 9:30 a.m. Core Flow (Mission)
Fridays 6:00 p.m. Rhythm + Flow (Mission)
Saturdays 12:00 p.m. Vinyasa Flow (Kensington)

An hour returned today. Daylight savings happened An hour returned today. Daylight savings happened and time stretched for a moment. 

A friend asked, what if we did that on purpose? What if every week we set aside an hour that was not already spoken for before it began.

Not an hour to catch up or get ahead. An hour with room to breathe. To feel supported enough to soften, to say yes and open wide. 

What would that hour hold? What would you choose if time was not already full.

Maybe the real gift is not the extra hour at all. Maybe the gift is the reminder that we can choose to make one.
