As Venus rises bright in the morning sky at its greatest western elongation and a series of planetary alignments in early June invite emotional healing, vulnerability, and renewed connection. This is a time that favors reconnection and the quiet rebuilding of trust, shared pleasure, and purpose in relationships.

Our midday practice draws on myth to embody both discipline and surrender—moving through steady, heat-building sequences inspired by Shukracharya’s penance, then softening into hip openers and sacral meditation in homage to Aphrodite’s ocean-born grace.

We’ll close with Venusian delights—peaches and mint tea—to ground the experience in sensual nourishment, honoring the luxury that follows inner alignment.

Dancing with the Lions

A workshop led by Lekshmi

$30 in studio $25 online | May 18^th Sunday 12pm

This all-levels yoga workshop is inspired by the myth of Narasimha, the man-lion avatar of Vishnu. The sequence is built as a dance of emergence—one breath, one step, one stance at a time. In shapes like the extended hand-to-big-toe pose, we embody a turning point—steadfast, eyes focused, and no longer afraid to take up space.

Expect breathwork, grounded effort, and lion’s breath to awaken clarity and voice. We’ll close in stillness, resting at the threshold of change—where who you have been meets who you are becoming.

Come as you are. The lions are already here.
