Be Inspired!

At Beyond, we are continuously evolving to support your journey toward optimal health and wellness. Beyond the physical, yoga can be an integral part of a journey toward the true self.

As we enjoy the warm, waning weeks of summer, we look toward fall with optimism. We are, and encourage you to be Inspired! We continuously search for all that inspires us and strive to pass that inspiration onto you, invoking thought and action, while watching your practice grow.

Be inspired to deepen your practice by exploring the many offerings of our Beyond School of Yoga this fall. Be inspired by the resilience surrounding us and the return to some familiar routine. Be inspired through the facilitation of your yoga journey by Beyond's wonderful instructors, and the introduction of new services at Beyond, such as Beyond Boutique Fitness!

We look forward to continuing this journey with you and supporting you along the way to Be Inspired. Shining Brighter Together.

Your Practice
In-studio Yoga
It's been a great return to in-studio yoga and it has been lovely to see so many familiar and new faces!

A few reminders:
  • We ask that you familiarize yourself with all covid protocols before arriving at the studio. Please do your own health assessments and do not come to the studio if you have any symptoms, are feeling unwell, or have been in contact with someone who may have COVID-19.
  • Blocks and vinyl bolsters are available for your use during in-studio classes. Please leave any used props in your practice space and they will be gathered and cleaned prior to being re-shelved.
  • Even when it is warm outside, we suggest bringing cozy layers (blankets, socks, sweaters) for your comfort as our studio rooms can cool especially during restorative, nidra, yin yoga and all of your savasanas.
  • Many of our classes are using a hybrid model, meaning they are available for both in-studio and virtual attendance. Remember to check closely when registering. Upon registration for virtual classes, you will immediately receive an email confirmation with the zoom class link.
  • Ensure you pre-register up to 7 days in advance and familiarize yourself with our cancellation and waitlist policies.

Yin Half Dragonfly grounds us from heel to the low back. Keeping a tall spine focuses the benefits into the hamstring while rounding the upper spine can access the low back. Love the versatility!

Breathe Easy
The rhythm and ease in which the breath flows is our true nature. Overtime with the demands of daily life many of us have become thoracic and or mouth breathers which can create more stress, tension and everything else that goes with stress.

As one of the greatest sources of energy, conscious breathing is free and always available. Developing the habit to breathe deeply is a powerful practice and going back to our true and natural breath requires knowledge, practice and guidance.

DATES: Tuesdays, October 5th - 26th
Registration closes Sept 28th
