Getting ready for the intro to yoga series I’ll be teaching during the first two weeks of January. This is the first class. It’s so simple, yet so complete. I l...ike coming back to these classes on a regular basis. They slow me down and bring me back to basics, they also just feel good. It’s nice to skip an 80min moderate class once in a while and do something like this. . 6 classes MWF starting on January 4th. Only $13 per class. Class (me practicing and cueing) will be recorded. No need to attend the live class if you can’t make it. **All registrants will receive a link to the recording** . More details at https://fb.me/e/4X6ZMGn0M See more

Coming up on January 4th! Six classes that are sequenced and progress for beginners to learn some basics they’ll get in class. Also, six classes that are wonderful for seasoned yogis to slow down, revisit basics, and have a less intense, shorter practice. **all registrants receive a link to the class recording**

Our Small Business Saturday wish? Google reviews! If you have any stories or comments to share, please do. It can make a real difference for us. If you search anything close to the right names, you'll get there (thanks google!), but if you want to be precise: "Rebecca Ayn Cutright Yoga"... "Leigh Ann Cutright Yoga". If you do bodywork with Becca, switch the word "yoga" for "massage".

The website has had a bit of a facelift. Check it out :) https://speaktruthyoga.com/

We have been quieter on the social media front, we know . Like everybody else, we are navigating this year as best as we can. We're sure you've noticed that time seems to be different throughout this pandemic. Either each week drags on and on or a whole month flies right by without seeming to be noticed. Can you believe we're almost to Halloween, which means November is just around the corner? This whole experience makes the social media part of being a yoga teacher a b...it more difficult to keep up on, especially when neither of us are particularly good at it to begin with! Sometimes it feels like we just don't have anything to update you on. BUT!!!! We do have one bit of NEWS that we are very excited about. We are upgrading and streamlining our online booking and payment system! You may notice when you visit our website that there is new content smack dab in the middle. While we transition, you are going to start seeing our new set up for November classes AND our current setup for October. For our remaining OCTOBER classes, please scroll to the bottom and proceed as usual. We will send an email very soon about switching over fully to our new system. Whether we've been continuing to see you regularly, sporadically, or haven't seen you for a little while, we sincerely hope you are doing well and have found ways to practice self care throughout this year. Leigh Ann & Becca

We will continue marching on strong with continued zoom yoga this October. Click our sign up link to learn more, to buy classes, or to sign up for class. From our homes to yours, we will see you on your mat! Thank you for the continued support during these challenging times

Hello Yogis! Can you believe it's about to be September? A lot of changes have occurred for all of us during this pandemic, and it seems that the perception of time is no exception. At the very least, we can and will continue to provide at least one constant in your life - a place to safely and consistently practice your yoga. September classes will remain virtual and are open for registration. HERE... Leigh Ann has added some helpful "how to virtual practice" videos on the website. HERE 9:30am class on Labor Day, no evening class. Sunday musings from Becca about why yoga: Yoga is a practice of both self care and self inquiry. The self care helps us manage our well being. The self inquiry develops our mindfulness. Both in turn foster our personal growth. There is currently and understandably a lot of unrest in our world, and I could probably add a lot of disconnection, or maybe missed-connection. Yoga will not save the world or solve all the problems, and I will not pretend that it can. However, I do think it seems likely that the people we affect most in the world are those who are directly connected to us, whether it be a long term connection or just a short moment of one. What I do hope at the very least, is that the yoga we offer can support your self care and self inquiry so each connection you make (including with yourself!) can be made as your wisest self. My belief is that this can have a positive ripple effect. So... that's why yoga :) We will see you on the mat! -Your secret yoga club!

One of our Forrest Yoga Guardians is offering Movement Labs virtually from California. These are not yoga classes, check out his description for more details :) <3

Hello Secret Yoga Club! We hope this message finds you well and healthy! As we move into the green phase, there are limitations and restrictions that will remain in effect. Due to the nature of our small space, we are unable to hold group classes that comply with the green phase order. For this reason, among others, we find that the best option is to continue virtually for the time being. We will continue to reevaluate the situation as it changes and keep you informed of h...ow we plan to proceed. When we do return to practicing in person, we will make the transition slowly. Stay tuned for updates. We are eager to see all of you in person once again. Until then, see you on zoom! -Becca, Leigh Ann, Mike, and Michelle

More virtual yoga on schedule for June! We will be discussing options for in person practices this week. Once we figure what the best option is for our tiny space (where practicing social distancing is quite difficult ), we will post an update. Until then, grab your passes and sign up for your zoom classes at: https://speaktruthyoga.com/... Or just click the Sign Up button on our page.

Hello Secret Yoga Club! Firstly, we want to share our gratitude with all of you who have been able to join us for class virtually. Getting the chance to connect with our yoga community has been a highlight of our days at home. Just as importantly, attendance to our virtual studio has also provided us with a way to have some income and, so far, a way to ensure that we still have a studio to go back to when we are safely able to. Simply put, thank you! Secondly, we plan to abi...de by the state's guidance on when and how to reopen. This means that we will remain virtual as we move into May, so that we can continue practicing at a safe distance and reduce the risk to all of our health. To those of you who haven't been able to join us virtually, we miss you! We hope that you are staying safe and healthy, and that your loved ones are as well. If you'd like to join us virtually and have any questions about how to connect, how to set up at home, or what your options are for virtual classes, please feel free to contact us. May is ready for registration! Click the "Sign Up" button or the link below. Please remember, we personally know about the financial burden that this pandemic has caused. If you want to join but don't feel you can afford it right now, contact us: [email protected] We'll figure something out :) -Your Forrest Yoga teachers of Pittsburgh https://speaktruthyoga.com/studio-654/

So today, while deleting a reservation for someone, I deleted... my entire Saturday class. If you were signed up for that class, would you please comment here or sign up again? Thanks! - Leigh Ann

We have been loving the chance to share a sneak peak of our home lives with each other including all of the pets. Join Becca for some allergy free cat yoga this morning at 9:30am and again this evening at 6pm. See you and your pet parade on zoom

If you are experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19, and are thus unable to take class, please email us at [email protected].

For your friends who are also stuck at home but don't have a yoga practice and community to fall back on... We are rolling out a quick start yoga series for beginners next week. You'll have two time options to choose from - lunchtime and evening. Details to follow.

Another grateful yogi that we are in turn grateful for! I tried my first Zoom class this evening and it blew away my expectations. I had no idea we'd feel as cozy and close as a regular class and it truly felt like we were all together. What an inventive way to carry on our community in a time when we need each other and our practice more than ever. Thank you for making it happen

Another zoom class testimonial... Thank you Becca and Leigh Ann. It was great to have human interaction, practice social distancing and be social. To top it all off, what a great class! I highly recommend you zoom classes! It was good for both mind and body.

A testimonial to our very first zoom class yesterday... "Thanks again for the remote yoga class today. I thought the class worked remarkably well and I felt great afterwards. It’s not quite the same as being with you and the other yogis in the little #secretyogaclub studio, but it was pretty close. And it definitely pushed me to get up and practice yoga today, which is a whole lot better than not doing yoga at all."

We’re expanding our studio! We now have room for 20 people in each class, because all classes will take place on Zoom for the remainder of March. Everything is the same, except that you stay home. PJs welcome. Many of our studio community members are unable to take class in person in the current circumstances. This will allow all of us to practice together and connect without the risk of transmitting COVID-19. ... We believe that yoga is even more important for maintaining wellbeing in times of stress and change. Our temporary online studio format will allow us all to sustain our yoga practices and yoga friendships safely. Please sign up for class as normal. You’ll receive a link via email before class. Click to join. We recommend signing in about 5 minutes before class, so you have time to get comfortable with your computer/ yoga mat positioning. Ps. Ever wondered what your teacher’s houses looked like?

Just got home from my regular weekly grocery shopping trip -and having my eyes opened to the level of anxiety people are experiencing. In times of challenge, I ...try to focus on what I can do: For myself, I hope to meet the situation with patience, calm, and excellent hygiene. I am currently free of symptoms, and I plan to teach my classes at our tiny studio tomorrow and Saturday. In the comments, you’ll find a list of the extra steps we are taking at Studio 654.

Where are those Tuesday yogis at?! 6pm class tonight, see you there!

March is ready for you! https://signup.com/go/ftEShYf

Can you see the light through the dark? We all have a shadow side... one full or sadness, anger, pain, doubt, fear. When you’re in the midst of the dark, can yo...u see the light within it? The light that shines on whatever it is that’s really causing the shadow you feel stuck in? The thing that you can choose to work on? . There’s something to being in the dark... feeling it, not running from or denying it... that allows you to fully realize it and make your way out. Or at least take the first step, maybe? . Hmmmm just thoughts thinking themselves around in my head after having had a moment earlier in the day. #forrestyoga is part of why I feel comfortable with these things, not 100% comfortable, but more than I would be without it, and quicker than I would be without it . It’s an introspective practice that follows me throughout my daily life. It’s an embodied practice that teaches me how to completely learn an intent by practicing it in my mind and feeling it with my body at the same time. . (Please no concern needed, I’m not in a bad place. Just like everybody else, yoga teachers also have shadows to experience, that’s all ) . Interested in trying it out? Why not take the first step and sign up for class this week? . Monday 9:30am, Tuesday 6:00pm, saturday 7:50am with me at Studio 654 (link in bio, check out all teachers times, in case my times don’t work for you) small classes, 6 or less, great opportunity to get more one on one guidance . Tuesday 7:30am and 9:30am @hartsrunfitnesspgh - earlier class is a foundations class and only 60min if that feels more your speed. . Saturday 10:15am @schoolhouseyoga squirrel hill- class is gentle yoga, great if completely new to yoga, nervous about yoga or unsure of what you’re physically capable of, or simply need a slower less intense practice . I hope to see you on your mat #secretyogaclub #yogaeverydamnday #lessstrugglemoresnuggle #riskfeeling See more

Lots of Leigh Ann on the schedule next week.

It’s me on Wednesday this week!

Plenty of space for class tonight, 6pm with Becca, who will we see?

February classes are ready for registration. Grab your spot for tomorrow, Saturday the 1st!February classes are ready for registration. Grab your spot for tomorrow, Saturday the 1st!

Yeeeaaahh for impromptu balanced forearm balance within the camera’s 10second timer window on my first try!! Yes I’m bragging because I’m real proud of that .... Now the real point of this post... we’re a few weeks into January now and people are slowing down, getting bogged down from the return to full time schedules since the holidays. And I’ve noticed the lull in class attendance. Your yoga practice is just as important as it ever was, and maybe even more so at times like this. . So I’ll see you tonight? At Studio 654 in etna at 6:00pm. Link in bio. . #forrestyoga #yogaeverydamnday See more

Class is on this morning and still plenty of space, so grab a spot and come on in for 7:50am with Becca

In massage school #pittsburghschoolofmassagetherapy we get to learn a bit of Alexander technique, a posture and movement technique. I think one of my favorite i...deas from it has been the idea of sensing for the actual size of your bones and muscles and then letting them be that size... let them be the length and width and depth that they are... basically letting your body take up the amount of space it truly needs, or maybe wants. No shrinking, no making yourself smaller, for any reason . Who wants to practice taking up space with me?? Let’s dare to be bigger . Classes are on for Monday 9:30am, Tuesday 6:00pm, and Saturday 7:50am Studio 654 in Etna (link in bio). Class on Tuesday 7:30am and 9:30am Harts Run Fitness in Glenshaw. Class on Saturday 10:15am Schoolhouse Yoga squirrel hill. .

Back on track with day 7 and wave dancer!

Yesterday’s actual Forrest yoga challenge pose was flashing arrow. Our crew probably knows flash prep quite well which is a precursor to this pose. While Becca was a bit tired after all the other practice and pose demos yesterday that she had to catch up on, she put out her attempt of this pose anyways See Forrest Yoga for Darin’s beautiful demo of the full pose without falling out

Dorsal fin! Mike can surely do this, and Leigh Ann probably as well. Don’t ask Becca to demo unless you’re going to steady her hips for her

What Becca now knows about half twining vine and twining vine...

Day 4 twining vine and day 5 dorsal fin with Becca on the #fychallenge
