distraction (disĀ· tracĀ· tion) : a thing
that  prevents  someone from giving 
full attention to something else

We have all had that moment in class when we lose our focus (and subsequently our balance). It can be frustrating. Whether we are distracted by something inside of us - a thought or self doubt. Or something on the outside - the person next to us or the sound of a cell phone buzzing.

We can only relax into our pose by giving our full awareness to the present moment. And, part of that practice is learning how to both minimize and respond to distractions.

Easier said than done, right?

As always - awareness is the first step. Next time you find yourself distracted, take note. Ask yourself, what was so enticing to pull your attention away - Was it just a force of habit? Curiosity? Discomfort? Self doubt?

Now that you're aware of the distraction and why it draws you away, the next step is practice.

Your yoga practice is the perfect time to practice staying focused in spite of distraction. Learning to be with yourself without thoughts of judgment or comparison to the person next to you. Learning to stay in the moment when a distraction occurs (and to get back on track when you veer off course).

You can practice this outside of the studio as well.

We spend so much of our time in a state of distraction. Think about your cell phone for a minute and how it reinforces and rewards this state. Constant notifications and connectedness, draw us away from our own full awareness in any given moment.

Notice your behavior this week with your cell phone. How often does it draw your attention away? Use your phone as an opportunity to learn about yourself and what you might be avoiding. This practice will not only help your day-to-day life, but your yoga practice as well. Give it a shot and let us know what you discover.

And, by all means, protect your yoga practice. Shut off unnecessary distractions before you step into the studio - for the sake of both you and your fellow practitioner. Take a moment before you step out of your car to put your phone in airplane mode. Take a deep breath as you step into the studio and give yourself the opportunity to be unplugged and present.

With time and practice, you will notice distractions having less power over your practice and life, both on and off the mat.

Studio Manager : Jess Marie Larrain

*EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH*

I started at the studio by being a part of the first re:form YOGA Teacher Training. It was an incredible experience that sparked my passion to help others through teaching yoga and to also become a healthier, more peaceful person. It lead me to change both my career & educational goals to pursue the practice of yoga and integrative health. I'm so thankful to be on this path that has been leading me in the right direction for my future. I'm incredibly grateful for the training; I learned so much about myself, the purpose of yoga and what it truly means to me.

After graduating from the Teacher Training, I couldn't imagine not being a part of re:form on a larger scale. I reached out to the owners to ask if there was a position open for front desk work. Soon after that, I put my notice in at my previous job and have been working at re:form ever since. It was such a healthy transition, for I noticed how much happier I became just by being in the studio's environment on a regular basis. I've also gained wonderful relationships with the entire staff and the students, who I value being a part of my life.

Everyday I witness gratitude towards teachers from students. Students really do feel the difference of re:form YOGA's environment compared to other studios. From teacher-trainees to first-time students, people feel welcomed here. The owners had a vision of helping people and creating an environment that would feel like home away from home. And like many re:form students and teachers, the studio truly has become a second home to me. It's a safe haven.

I'm honored to be a part of the re:form family and enjoy being in the presence of such wonderful people.

*A note from the owners: We chose Jess as our employee of the month because of her tenacious drive, her ability to multi-task, her willingness to go above and beyond her duties, her ability to connect with students and our team, her amazing smile, her ability to learn new things quickly, her love for yoga and our studio, and most of all her huge heart. She has been a blessing to the studio and our family from the moment we hired her. We are so thankful to have her on board and look forward to growing with her for years to come. Speaking for the entire team: 

WE LOVE YOU JESS!



 
PRIVATE YOGA SESSIONS


Yoga was traditionally taught by one teacher directly to one student. The ancient teachers knew the importance of individualizing each yoga experience to meet the needs of each individual student.

The benefits of individualized attention and guidance are needed by everyone. Each session is tailored to your specific needs and goals, whether you are recovering from an illness or injury, are new to yoga, want to increase your strength, flexibility and balance, or want to improve your performance in sports.

Private lessons allows for a more detailed view into your practice; learn the basics of yoga and proper alignment for a firm foundation and understanding of yoga; or deepen your current yoga practice.

Private yoga lessons are the perfect way to work with special health concerns, injuries, or any other limitations you experience. Working one-on-one, you will learn how to adapt certain postures with modifications or the use of props, as well as find out if there are specific poses to avoid.

Private yoga lessons can offer a highly viable option if you have a specific goal - whether it's mental, emotional, spiritual or physical. With a specific goal in mind, private yoga instruction is designed with specific practices for you to meet your goals.
