Weekly Yoga Calendar for 8/24 - 8/28
Here is the weekly calendar of yoga classes! This week we have a Full Sturgeon Moon in Pisces! Pisces is a Water sign ruled by Neptune. Represented by two fish, we know pisces to signify empathy, connection to our emotions and spirituality, and imagination. During this time, we are absorbing the world around us, and taking it to heart.

Weekly Yoga Calendar for 8/16 - 8/21
Here is the weekly calendar of yoga classes! Now is the time for a reset! There are a lot of new schedules and things are shifting.

Weekly Yoga Calendar for 8/9 -8/14
Here is the weekly calendar of yoga classes! This week's focus is the New Moon in Leo. Leo is the sign of boldness and pride.

Here is the weekly calendar of yoga classes! This week's focus is Lammas or Midsommer. Known as the ripening time, or the fruiting time, Lammas is the mid-point between the summer solstice and fall equinox. All the crops are ready for harvest and reaching their peak. The first harvests are made here. We see the art of transformation in action as the harvest is transformed into their intended forms. It can also be lughnasa based on calendar or culture. There’s a lot of overlap

Here is the weekly calendar of yoga classes! This week we have a Full Buck Moon in Aquarius. Aquarius invites innovation and authenticity. This is a time for self-liberation and recognition of progress. During this time we should focus on building and supporting the community, inviting a fresh perspective on collective improvement.
