Happy Anniversary, BYS Yoga Collective Community! This month marks one year since we transitioned to the collective – we are humbled, honored, and grateful to be sharing this journey with you all. This month, we’ll be reflecting on what the collective means to us and how it has evolved over the past year.
At its core, the collective is the group of yogis, teachers and students alike, who come together with intention from many different backgrounds, experiences, and walks of life. Together, we share space, we make space, we move, we breathe, and we grow. Many of us have spent years together. Others are newer to the studio as we continue to grow our BYSYC family. All are welcomed and loved.
And on this note, we are pleased to welcome Sarah Silk, our newest instructor. She has been a longtime student at the studio and we are thrilled she is joining our team of teachers. She will be teaching the Tuesday 9:30-10:45 class. Please say hello when you see her!
Love,
Alana

Adding resistance bands to your yoga practice is a perfect way to strengthen your entire range of motion. The incorporation of external load on the body by way of a resistance band not only adds stability to your structure, but can also result in proprioceptive gains and motor control. Come rediscover familiar shapes of asana with an inventive approach to this living tradition of yoga which will help stabilize your body, enhance your mobility, & create joint resilience. Students will receive resistance bands to take home as part of the workshop.
Cost: $45 (including bands for take home)
