June Newsletter: Changes

June 2025

Changes

A new space has a feel of invisibility until we enter it and fill it with our presence. It already carries within it an essence of the spirit and energy of those who have occupied it in the past or currently continue to be there. Knowing this, when we make a physical move either temporarily or permanently, the space becomes real and visible. The richness of the space is there to lend richness to our spirit. Willingly or unwillingly, it is a space already reserved for us without our even knowing it. We will enter fearlessly and fully in the present, and in our bodies. Let no other thoughts, conjectures, guesses and doubts enter your mind as you enter. Drop all thoughts of your mundane stresses as you enter for self care and self love. It is for the best.

So it is with our lives. Remember that change is essential for growth and life. It is a new life. Live your life in the present moment. We are grateful and appreciative of what we have.

We will be moving out of our current studio to a space on the second floor in the Fourth Avenue Christian Church at the beginning of July.

Namasté,

Update on our space

Yoga-Well-Being will be in our current studio space through the end of June; Awaken Church will take over the space on July 1. However, in-person classes will still take place at Fourth Avenue Christian Church (296 W. 4th Ave). Our new class space will be on the second floor, through the same door we currently use.

Thank you for your patience during this transition. We hope to make it as seamless as possible for student.

sipra returns!

We are happy to announce that sipra’s wrist has healed to the point that she can resume teaching classes. Her schedule for June is as follows:

Mondays, 9:30-10:45 AM - Virtual Only
Thursdays, 6:00-7:15 PM - Hybrid (in-person at the studio or online)
Fridays, 5:00-6:00 PM - Virtual Only
Saturdays, 9:30-10:45 AM - Hybrid at the studio. Saturday morning may move to Whetstone Park, depending on the weather and interest.

Isabelle at the Park

Sunset Yoga at Whetstone Park/Park of Roses
Wednesday, 6:00 PM

Join Isabelle for her Wednesday class at a new place and time! She’ll be teaching at the Park of Roses every week, rain or shine (except for severe weather).

This class has its foundations in Hatha Yoga, and includes a blend of standing/seated asanas, emphasis on the breath, meditation, and mindfulness. Held in the evening, this class provides an opportunity to process one’s emotions from the day through mild to moderately challenging movement and breath, and will end with a slow unwinding to help relax the body, mind, and spirit. You can expect each class to be woven through with the thread of nature, intuition, and curiosity.

Please bring a mat, any blocks, blankets, or props you might like to have, and a willingness to immerse yourself in nature. We will meet at the gazebo, located across from the bleachers: map link.

GPS coordinates: (40.0434058, -83.0241467)

Please register in advance, in case of severe weather, so that you can be notified if there are any changes to the location.

Everyday Self-Care with Ayurveda

Self-Care with Ayurveda
Every Monday in June
7:30-8:00 PM
Online Only

Join vaidya Vandana Baranwal for Self-Care with Ayurveda and learn simple daily self-care tools for a life of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. This month’s topic is your Ayurvedic Mind-Body Type.

Have you ever wondered why some people thrive on a fast-paced lifestyle while others need calm and routine? Why one diet suits your friend perfectly but doesn’t work for you? The answer may lie in your unique Ayurvedic constitution, or Prakriti—your natural mind-body type.

In these 30-minute sessions, each Monday you will explore the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda to discover your individual Dosha—Vata, Pitta, or Kapha—and learn how it influences your personality, digestion, energy, sleep, and emotional tendencies. Understanding your Dosha can empower you to make personalized choices in food, lifestyle, and self-care that support balance and long-term wellness.

Whether you are a beginner or a practitioner, join the class and learn timeless wisdom to enhance your well-being!

We have been happy to share space with a yoga club that meets on Saturdays. This month, they will be meeting on June 21 and 28 outdoors, depending on the weather. Contact the club for more details.

Yoga Club is a group of people who gather once a week to connect and deepen their practice. This community does an activity (art therapy, clothing swap, donation drive, pose workshops, etc) followed by a 1.5 hour practice. We aim to create a community of people from all walks of life to come together to take time for themselves as well as to encourage others. We’d love to see you there!

If you don’t cancel before the class, the absence will count against your pass.

If at all possible, please cancel at least 90 minutes before class for in-person classes. If you absolutely need to cancel closer to the beginning of class, please text or call us at 614-432-7553; leave a voicemail if no one answers.
