Make your summer stretch at The Fire Within Yoga

Greetings!

Thank you to all who have joined us this summer! We had an action packed July with Junior Aerial events, Elevated Meditation, Aerial Intro courses, Aerial Yin, and Cat's Kids Yoga. We had wonderful feedback on these events and look forward to hosting more this month. Special thanks to Sue Davies who provided live music for our Elevated Meditation. If you are interested in future events, be sure to check our website event pages, or see our August list below.

As we look toward next month, we have some exciting opportunities and schedule changes heading your way to ease back into a fall routine. Keep your mind and body happy by making yoga a priority.

We hope to see you soon!

Karma Yoga!

This month's Cat's Kids workshop is all about sharing snacks! The Helping Hands Food Shelf is low on healthy snacks for growing kids. When your child brings a snack donation they get to participate in a Cat's Kids Yoga Class for free!

Some days, kids are animals. So let them breathe fire like a dragon or pose like a seal at Kids Yoga! While doing yoga, they will discover the value of deep breathing when life gets challenging, explore positive body awareness, and gain respect for individuality and togetherness. Wear clothes easy to move in!

Yoga and the immune system

Yogi's are typically quick to tell you the benefits of a regular practice. What we don't often discuss, however, is how yoga helps support a healthy immune system.

Yoga helps lower stress hormones that compromise the immune system, while conditioning the lungs and respiratory tract. A regular practice stimulates the lymphatic system, assisting in removing toxins from the body, bringing oxygenated blood to organs and ensuring their optimal function.

While the asanas (or the physical practice of poses) make up the cornerstone of infection prevention, benefits don't stop there. Since both colds and flu attack the bronchial passages, it makes sense that conditioning the lungs and maximizing one's breathing capacity through pranayama (breath awareness) would build resistance to preying organisms. M editation also reduces the incidence of infectious ailments by de-stressing the body and mind.

And really, what isn't improved with a nice long savasana? Join us for mat or aerial yoga and reap the full body benefits yoga has to offer.
