Lets welcome Dina Ivas (Instagram: @dinaivas) to the squad! She's bringing her amazing teachings for the next three weeks beginning this Tuesday. On her official website (YogaWithDina.com) she states,"My mission is to make yoga fun and accessible to everyone! I specialize in working with beginners, and strive to inspire students to explore on their mat without judgement. My teaching philosophy is simple: “Breathe. Play. Grow.”
OUTDOOR CLASSES: We will continue to have loads of outdoor offerings in the coming weeks... including another rooftop Yoga/Pilates class.

We have more outdoor sessions and in-person events coming...
I want to send a special shout-out to all the yogis who have made this summer series a special one! Hit me up via email (CLICK HERE) to join the fun and bask in the end of the Summer and early Fall sun! Love, Victor Our ancient experience confirms at every point that everything is linked together, everything is inseparable.  Never would I ever imagined US being where we are right now! It's been seemingly several hundred days since we began quarantine and life was altered. What has been unimaginable initially, but very inspiring is how we have built a massive community of yoga practitioners online that has not wavered and are rooted in our determination to feel good, savor our journey into an exploration of self-awareness & creating a common place for us to realize...
No pandemic, no quarantine... can separate us, can sever human connection or the fact that we are all linked as the above quote says. This past week, we reached the 200 class total mark... and more than that tally, we've amassed many more mindful souls to unite in breathing, movement, brotherhood & sisterhood. I salute you all for creating this and continuing this. I honor your commitment and will continue to hold space for us and create more opportunities to come together, stay together & celebrate life together. Here's the schedule for this week: (Outdoor Sunset FREE Class this week for active subscribers) SUNDAY -- 7/26/2020 10:00 am -- Church of Vicyasa™ MONDAY -- 7/27/2020 7:00 am -- Morning Vinyasa 12:00 pm -- Lunch Special 45 Minutes Flow 7:00 pm -- Power Hour TUESDAY -- 7/28/2020 8:00 am - Wake up Vinyasa Yoga 7:00 pm - Vinyasa Flow WEDNESDAY -- 7/29/2020 7:00 am -- Morning Vinyasa 6:30 pm -- Power Hour THURSDAY -- 7/30/2020 7:00 am -- Vinyasa Yoga 6:30 pm -- Vinyasa FRIDAY -- 7/31/2020 7:00 am -- Morning Vinyasa 12:00 pm -- 60 Minute Flow SATURDAY -- 8/1/2020 9:00 am -- Sweaty Saturday Vinyasa SUNDAY -- 8/2/2020 10:00 am -- Church of Vicyasa™ *ALL CLASSES EST *SESSIONS 60 MINUTES UNLESS NOTED RATES: (NEW OPTIONS)

Per scholars, Sangha is one of the safest and most suitable environments for advancing toward enlightenment. This cannot be overestimated, that trying to achieve enlightenment by yourself is very difficult and it is better to open yourself to others, support each other and learn from one another within people in a community that can provide guidance and support, which will help pave a path towards enriching your life.
In Buddhism, the characteristics and qualities of Sangha are:
I truly believe when we all come together to practice, to bring awareness to our thoughts and feelings and empower ourselves to make choices that serve us, our community, your family and friends, loved ones and people that you come in contact with physically or virtually... benefit. Building relationships is something I am proud of... about OUR community, because during this time of quarantine that is unprecedented and that the world has never experienced, we have come together in a remarkable way. #Namaste Here's the schedule for this week: MONDAY -- 7/6/2020 7:00 am -- Morning Vinyasa 6:30 pm -- 45 Minute Flow TUESDAY -- 7/7/2020 7:00 am - Wake up Vinyasa Yoga 6:45 pm - Vinyasa WEDNESDAY -- 7/8/2020 8:00 am -- Morning Vinyasa 12:00 pm -- Vinyasa THURSDAY -- 7/9/2020 8:00 am -- Vinyasa Yoga 6:30 pm -- Vinyasa FRIDAY -- 7/10/2020 7:00 am -- Morning Vinyasa 12:00 pm -- Vinyasa Flow SATURDAY -- 7/11/2020 12:00 pm -- Sweaty Saturday Vinyasa SUNDAY -- 7/12/2020 10:00 am -- Church of Vicyasa™ *ALL CLASSES EST *ALL SESSIONS 60 MINUTES RATES: (NEW OPTIONS)

Week #1: TRUST Week #2: COMMITMENT For this Week #3: INTENTION The YOGA is there for you! Set intentions to SHOW-UP and SHOW-UP! Set intentions to focus on the MOMENT. Set and intention to be playful on the mat! Set an intention to let the practice come to you, instead of trying to force yourself into a more uncomfortable situation. Set an intention to allow the mind to be more at rest during your asanas (POSES). Then can we see how that translates to our daily lives? Trusting your intentions and commit to your intentions!

This has been a difficult week, one that was filled with emotional highs and lows, and one that will be remembered for a very long time. What has driven me the last few days? The optimism of everyone who I have been in contact with, and the powerful resiliency everyone has approached this situation we are in. One thing that has been a saving grace? THE POWER OF YOGA!
