Join us for the last week of our “Built to Move” series.

This week we’re going to discuss the importance of getting up from a seated position and how that functional movement improves and helps other areas of the body as we age.

Age gracefully, live fully & functionally with the most quality possible!

Here’s a little snippet from the beginning of Tuesdays class if you missed it! We’re focusing on our balance this week, practicing movements and stretches that can help keep our bodies strong as we get older! Join Stephanie tomorrow (5/20) at 8 AM for sunrise yoga or Sunday (5/21) for mat yoga! Also please try this exercise at home for a good laugh 😂

Join us this week as we work on our ever so important skill of balance! No matter what age you are it’s so important that we support our bodies with the street guy and balance to do everyday tasks. In this weeks class you’ll enjoy a couple of tests to really get a sense of where you’re at and then learn some simple but effective exercises you can incorporate into your everyday life! This series has been inspired by “Built to Move”, a book we’re living right now. Join us this week! 💚 Checkout the schedule in our last post.

Continuing with our Built to Move series this week & you won’t want to miss!! It’s all about balance and how important it is for us now and especially as we age! Let’s be real, balance is tough - in life AND in our bodies!

Think of all the things you do that requires balance - we don’t want to lose that just because the calendar keeps turning. Simply walking requires balance, riding a bike, bending over to tie our shoe, reaching down to put on a sock or to do tree pose!

Join us as we practice the tools we need to get stronger with our stability!

We’re continuing with our “Built to Move” series this week as we move on to shoulder & neck mobility.

Are you aware that if you’re having neck “issues”, it’s most likely starting in the shoulders.

Join @stephanieneighbor this week and make some space in the upper body!

Have you ever thought about investing in your future self? Not your 401k, but what physical skills and capabilities would you like to develop that will allow you to do the things you’d like to do in your 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and beyond?

I don’t know about you, but I want to be that super mobile granny who is chasing her grandkids around, hiking the Rocky Mountains and taking extended walks along the beach.

I also want to have the strength to get up off the floor, to hoist my luggage into an upright bin and carry my groceries without struggle.

Mobility is the key! Join @stephanieneighbor for the month of May as we focus on mobility for our longevity!

It’s Spring, and change is on the air (literally). Did you experience all the seasons on Saturday like I did? It seems Mother Nature didn’t know what to do.

Have you noticed that Life is a little like that too. One day seems great and the the next, “BAM!”, something changes. It may be big or little, but change happens every day.

What is your tendency, do you resist or can you go with the flow and adapt as needed?

Let’s explore this week in our practice!

It’s already Week 4 of our Spring Into Yoga series!

Tis the season to remember that April showers bring May flowers. That Beauty comes from muck. That tapping into our yoga glow helps us find contentment when outside conditions may try to pull us otherwise.

Come get your yoga glow this week!

I couldn’t be more proud of these 12 incredible women!

They have been dedicated to this journey for nine months - taking classes, learning Yoga philosophy, reading, teaching, learning anatomy and yes, yoga poses.

But more than any of that, this was a deep dive within themselves, they learned so much more than the poses. Each of these women have transformed, they have become the best version of the person they’ve always been!

Congratulations Ladies!! 🎊💕🙌🏼🧘🏼‍♀️

“Yoga is the journey of self, through the self, to the self”
