“Change does not wait for readiness; it simply unfolds, teaching us the power of adaptation.”  One of the most profound benefits of a seasonal yoga practice lies in the enhanced mind-body awareness it can bring. The calibrating of our senses to the nuances of nature around us can allow us to become more attuned to the needs of our bodies. This awareness leads to a more mindful and intuitive practice that can not only prevent injury but also encourage exploration to the edges of our comfort zones with a sense of grace. The invigorating and expansive postures of summer, the grounding and stabilizing poses of autumn, the introspective and restorative postures of winter, and the revitalising postures of spring. Looking into the realm of spring, a season that breathes life into every corner of our lives. This chapter of the year is marked by new beginnings, vibrant blossoms, and the promise of growth. Through our yoga practice, we can immerse ourselves in the energy of spring, aligning our intentions and sequences with the spirit of renewal that vibrates through the air. Spring’s ever-changing weather reminds us of the beauty of adaptability, a lesson deeply ingrained in the practice of yoga. We can weave the theme of adaptability into our classes, guiding students through sequences that challenge their balance and flexibility. Through dynamic flows that mimic the unpredictable nature of spring, we empower our students to embrace change with grace and to find stability amid the flux. With each breath, each posture, and each intention, we channel the energy of renewal that defines this season. As we guide our students through practices that cleanse the body, open the heart, celebrate growth, and foster adaptability. ADAPTABILITY: the quality of being able to adjust to new conditions. the capacity to be modified for a new use or purpose. A PEEK INTO MENTORSHIP WITH VICYASA™... New manuals have been printed...

“The thickest sweats produce the sweetest life. A hard work surely brings unheard happiness. Dig up your gold.”  Sweating is essential for the human body to regulate itself. And during this transition to a warmer season, you'll be sweating more during yoga and throughout the day. But when is the best time to drink water so it complements your yoga?
Your best strategy to prepare for a yoga class on hotter days is to drink plenty of fluids the day before a class and if on the same day, you should intake hydrating fluids 3-4 hours before. Make it water, nutrient-rich clear drinks or juice blends even sports drinks. Add to your day plenty of fruits and vegetables. And most of all, with any class, make sure to drink plenty of water to rehydrate after. If possible, avoid drinking water immediately before or during class. In addition to making our physical bodies feel inflated, consuming large amounts of water before or during a practice also interferes with our energy bodies; one theory says that sipping during yoga practice is akin to pouring water over our inner fire as we try to build it. In Yoga and Ayurveda, it is thought that a sip of water during practice disrupts the body’s energy and concentration. Hydration before will make you perform better, increasing strength and flexibility. A lack of water can damage the cardiovascular system & your body will have difficulties regulating itself. This makes yoga a strain and limits your performance. Hydration ensures that your immune system functions properly so that you do not get sick or feel stomach pains by flushing out toxins. Muscle weakness, muscle cramping, fatigue, irritability, and headaches are just some of the symptoms of electrolyte imbalance. Ultimately, a yoga practice can be used to reduce compulsions and become more comfortable with discomforts. When we lean into resisting the urge to drink water, or go to the bathroom, we become better at dealing with the discomforts of life such as hunger, thirst, or the weather. After yoga, feel free to drink your favorite tea, water, or electrolyte-enhanced water to replenish the body and get ready for your next practice. A PEEK INTO MENTORSHIP WITH VICYASA™...

Expand your experiences regularly so every stretch won’t feel like your first.” ― Gina Greenlee  Like love, the practice of yoga expands from the inside out. And like yoga, we do the same. We live in an ever expanding universe and are meant to expand with it.
We are meant to expand our consciousness, our minds, horizons, hearts and in doing so, we can reach our all encompassing potential. Expansion is the action of courageously moving from our comfort zones and what we perceive as our discomfort zones -- the unknown. This type of growth requires openness – to new ideas and experiences, to setbacks and to letting go. Let us celebrate the action of moving from the inside out. To wake up each day with the mantra "to grow" – emotionally, intellectually, spiritually, and in our capacity to love and to feel. As for asanas (poses) let's create expansion with a bridge and wheel, half moon and triangle. Bridges can be symbolic... enabling us to safely cross through potential hazards, wheels can represent the infinite and the possibilities and opportunities to grow. Let's grow together, expand with courage and boldly open our hearts and minds. CLASSES... Yes -- we'll set-up again in Long Island City and Manhattan for scheduled classes.

And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.” -- Oprah Winfrey  There isn't a single moment that I am separated from my yoga. Maybe I spent an hour practicing asana and meditation, but there is no difference at all when I am not doing asana and meditation practice in the other hours.
I am practicing yoga when I am walking, when I am eating, when I am listening to music, when I am doing laundry. Being in the present moment, accepting the reality of the present moment now as it is, from moment to moment. Many times I wanted to do something but it was not possible at that moment, and so, we had to try again some other time. There were other times that I didn’t plan to do anything special, but things happened accordingly and we ended up doing something unexpectedly. And that is enjoying every moment of it. #Yoga There is nothing wrong exploring “what's next” with the perception of the present moment and what I think that is going to be, and at the same time, allowing the reality to be what it is even though it is not what we thought it could be. That is yoga. On and off the mat. All day. Every day. UPDATED PRICES ... Check below for our discounted prices and secure your next subscription or stack your class cards.
