You can be anything you want to be today... be a FISH! Matsyasana (fish pose) is a supine heart-opener which allows for a deep stretch along the anterior fascial line of the body. Shoulders, chest, abdomen, and throat are all encouraged to open - and with a full deep BREATH, you’re helping to tone and strengthen your lungs. Your back, glutes, and legs are building strength the whole time! This can be a very vulnerable pose, both emotionally and physically. But there are ma...ny wonderful benefits. Give it a try by laying on your back comfortably, tucking your palms underneath the glutes, slightly bend the elbows while keeping them tight to the body, and resist the mat with your forearms to lift and hover your crown above the floor. Relax completely through your face, and breathe deeply for a few moments in this space (Check out the standing partner fish pose in photo #3!) #studiobyoga #fishpose #danvillepa #matsyasana #vinyasa #yoga #heartopener #tone #strength #practice #smallbusiness #smallbiz #shoplocal #shopsmall

Fearlessness, purity of heart, persistence in the yoga of knowledge, generosity, self-control, nonviolence, gentleness, candor. Integrity, disengagement, joy in the study of the world, compassion for all, modesty, patience, a tranquil mind. Dignity, kindness, courage, a benevolent, loving heart these are the qualities of a person born with divine traits... Bhagavad Gita [16.1-16.3] Stephen Mitchell ......... Our trainees are approaching weekend 9 of the program, and their continued journey through the epic ‘Bhagavad Gita’ has become in-depth and intimate Study of this ancient poem has been woven into their learning process, as they answer weekly response questions and provide their own unique reflection. I am always impressed and deeply moved by the personal responses. #studiobyoga #danvillepa #bhagavadgita #ryt200 #yogateachertraining #yogafam #epic #poem #tribe #community #thoughtful #training #vinyasa #yoga #studio #sangha #journey #ancient #dedication #focus

Not only was today’s yoga class relaxing, it was SO MUCH FUN! While communicating seamlessly with seven virtual students through a Bluetooth earpiece, I was also able to be very present with my seven in-person students. We grooved to @djdrez and all had a great time. This class gave me a hopeful glimpse into the future, and running smooth classes that can serve everyone in our community.

Dear community, Moving forward, all of StudioB Yoga Center’s weekly classes will (temporarily) be 100% virtual due to a new state mandate. Thank you for understanding. We understand that being away from the studio’s physical practice space is challenging, but virtual yoga still offers a wonderful sense of togetherness amongst you and your fellow mat mates Meeting for a class via Zoom can offer us an opportunity to catch up, touch base, offer support, and show up for one a...nother during this difficult time. Please consider joining us! Our weekly schedule is currently staying the same, so you’ll still be able to join your favorite class and see your instructors We’re here for you. #studiobyoga #danvillepa #virtualyoga #community #zoom #support #smallbusiness #yoga #yogafam #smallbiz

Each training weekend, our group goes through a teaching exercise called Round Robin Through this hour-long practice, trainees work together and take turns to weave together a seamless class. The goal is to gain important skills such as: - Thinking on their toes... - Adapting a flexible and confident teaching style - Observing one another’s energy and movements - Cueing asana appropriately and safely - Building a supportive and encouraging vocabulary - Cultivating a dynamic teaching presence #studiobyoga #danvillepa #yogateachertraining #ryt200 #roundrobin #practice #vinyasa #yoga #studio #yogafam #courage #community #sangha #tribe #worktogether

Hello community! Apologies for the inconvenience, but 6PM virtual power flow is postponed for today. Please join us for another class soon

Reading through trainee response papers and teaching scripts... here comes the red pen! Don’t worry, the red pen is a tool used to offer helpful suggestions along with a healthy bounty of varied smiley faces, hearts, question marks, stars, and comments. Each and every assignment that I review inspires me in new and exciting ways. Great job, everyone ... #studiobyoga #danvillepa #yogateachertraining #ryt200 #vinyasa #yoga #yogafam #studio #hardwork #focus #dedication #community #tribe #smallbiz #smallbusiness #shoplocal #shopsmall #yogapractice #gratitude

Wowee! Teacher training weekend six is a wrap. Great job everyone From here on out, our RYT-200 program will switch gears and focus heavily on energy, philosophy, lifestyle and discipline studies, ethics, and business. Let’s all get some good rest - we need it! #studiobyoga #danvillepa #yogateachertraining #ryt200 #lotus #lotuspose #padmasana #scorpionpose #headstand #yogafam #asana #tribe #community #vinyasa #yoga #studio #mask #smallbusiness #smallbiz #shoplocal

Last night, our training group discussed injury and emergency management (thank you @linzeehanna for co-teaching and inspiring us all). Today was day one of our balance & invert asana lab This is a very lengthy lesson requiring energy and focus, consisting of 36 poses including standing and seated balances, arm balances, and minor/major inversions. Although time flew by today, we still have day two of this lab tomorrow! After this weekend, our current group of wonderfu...l trainees will officially be halfway through the program Thank you @alignedheather for instructing a great yoga for all session this morning and helping our gang properly warm up for their long day. Great job, everyone! #studiobyoga #danvillepa #yogateachertraining #ryt200 #yogafam #hardwork #focus #vinyasa #yoga #studio #crowpose #halfmoon #mask #smallbusiness #smallbiz #shopsmall #shoplocal #community #sangha #balance

Our beloved wood chakra cookies have received a major makeover! These birch slices traveled with me from New York to Pennsylvania, and over the past 8 years they have been painted, sanded, and repainted on repeat. With the help of some generous friends this week, each of them has been laser-carved and varnished. They’ll be home and back up in the Moon Studio soon.
