Encouraging Connection

Barre at Woven Yoga

//  by 

Woven Yoga is excited to add Barre classes to the schedule!

Since experiencing barre several years ago, I’ve been hoping to bring it into the studio. My friend Kelsey has been practicing at Pure Barre for years and recently completed her training with Barre Intensity at GoYoga and she’s ready to share this powerful practice. 

Barre isn’t a form of yoga, but rather it taps into poses and adds strong movement to smaller muscle groups that often get looked over in traditional workouts like running and biking. For yogis who are regularly lengthening our musculature, a practice such as barre that aims to work those areas will help to keep us safe and strong. 

Barre classes run on the same pricing and packaging as yoga and it’s already been added to options for passholders and members – just sign up the way you would normally for a yoga class. 

Kelsey is offering 3 classes each week:

  • Thursday, 7 PM
  • Friday, 4:30 PM Barre Express (in & out in 30 minutes)
  • Saturday, 10 AM

Yin Yoga

//  by 

Sunday, October 4
7:15 PM

Have you ever wanted to “linger longer” in a pose? Looking for a slower paced counterpart to your workout routine? Join us for an inquiry into the benefits of Yin Yoga. We will gently stress the connective tissues of our bodies while working to calm the mind and focus on the sensations we uncover when we give ourselves time to find stillness in each pose.

Sign up now for our October offering of Yin Yoga!

Ayurveda & Fall Reset

//  by 

Yoga is far more than a series of poses you perform on your mat. Yoga – yoking, linking, connecting – is a way of living.

The winds and changes of fall affect us all…

Ayurveda, the “sister science of yoga” is an ancient way of seeing the world using elements, textures, tastes, and sensory experiences. By understanding the qualities of what you eat, watch, breathe, and think, you can understand how to restore balance and make effective changes in routine that don’t require rearranging your entire existence.

This fall at Woven Yoga we will host a 90-minute workshop on the basic premises of Ayurveda. We’ll explore the Doshas and provide a framework for understanding your unique constitution so that you can approach the changing season with grace and ease.

This workshop will be held at 6 PM on Sunday, September 13. Cost: $35.

Sign up for the Fall Ayurveda Workshop

Use your newly discovered understanding of Ayurveda to transition into fall unlike any other detox experiences.

The last half hour of the workshop will include an outline of self-care practices to engage during the fall Vata season and introduce the Fall Reset experience. This week includes changing habits related to diet, movement, and mental well-being to re-center and ground yourself in nourishment and care.

Woven Yoga will also host a guided Reset experience the week of September 14-17, following the workshop.

The guided Reset experience includes:

  • Outline of daily self-care practices
  • Most necessary ingredients for the kitchari mono-diet
  • Oils for abhayanga (self-massage)
  • Daily guided meditations
  • Daily pranayama (breath) practices
  • Priority scheduling for daily yoga practices
  • Community and support while processing the experience
  • End-of-week group reflection and personal intention-setting practice (Thursday, September 17 at 5:30 PM)

Cost: $70 | $40 for Unlimited Members

*Those on the Surviving September pass, email me for discounted pricing codes

New Schedule next week!

September will welcome back the 6:15 AM class on Wednesdays and add a Chair Yoga option on Tuesdays. With the addition of Barre, our studio will have evening classes 5 nights a week! Now’s the perfect time to commit to a regular practice and find a routine that fits your schedule.

Anticipate the Change of Seasons

Ayurveda, the Sister Science of Yoga (literally translated “the science of life”) is an ancient way of seeing the world. It uses ideas of opposite qualities (hot-cold, dry-wet, solid-spacious) to help identify ways to restore balance. Most often, Ayurveda can be used to help us decide what to take in to our lives and bodies through foods, media, and use of time.

Most years I take a week for an Ayurvedic “reset” to help me restore balance and prepare for a change in the seasons, mentally and physically. Every time I bring up this topic amongst friends or in the studio, I get a surge of interest. This year I will offer both a workshop that gives an overview of Ayurveda, the doshas, and how it can be a tool of restoring balance, paired with a guided reset experience for those interested. Details are coming your way soon, but for the moment, please email me if you have interest in participating in the workshop and/or the reset experience so I can begin to make preparations.

Welcome, Barre!

//  by 

Welcome, Barre!

Since experiencing a Barre class several years ago, I’ve been on the hunt for a way to bring it into the studio. A friend who taught here in town moved on to new things; I was nearly signed up training three different times, but the scheduling didn’t work. Then I had a visit from my friend, Kelsey, and she revealed that she has been practicing at Pure Barre for years and was interested in taking a training and becoming a Barre teacher. I gave her some strong encouragement and within the month she completed her training with Barre Intensity at GoYoga! 

Barre isn’t a form of yoga, but rather it’s a form of movement that taps into some yoga poses and adds strong movement to smaller muscle groups that often get looked over in traditional workouts or gross motor movements like running and biking. And for yogis who are regularly tending to the act of lengthening our musculature, a practice such as Barre that aims to work those areas will help to keep us safe and strong. 

I’m super excited about this addition and you can anticipate seeing me in the classes! Barre classes will run on the same pricing and packaging as yoga and it’s already been added to your options for passholders and members – just sign up the way you would normally for a yoga class. 

Kelsey is going to give a sampler class on Saturday, August 29 at 10 AM. Try it out for free by using the discount code TRYBARRE at checkout. 

September Schedule

//  by 

What will be different about this fall? 

  • Evening classes Monday-Friday
  • The early morning Rise & Shine on Wednesdays returns!
  • Expanded options for Gentle Yoga – now Chair Yoga is an option for those who are more hesitant to get on the floor. 
  • Barre will begin after Labor Day to help diversify our intensity levels

Our teaching team has been working diligently to listen to your needs and help you find the style and pace of yoga that your body welcomes. While Slow Flow is taking a break as Traci gets her classroom back in order, you’ll see it again in the future! 

Upgrade your mat: It’s for the children

//  by 

Teachers are getting creative when it comes to outdoor learning and I’m seeing several post about getting old yoga mats for kids. Perhaps your mat has some age and served you for many, many practices and so you think to yourself, “well, I could give this one up and get a new one!”

Of course, you can saunter off to T.J. Maxx and pick one up, as I’ve also been known to do. OR, you can treat yourself to a really, really great mat.

If you’re leaning toward the second option, let me help persuade you to give yourself a little Surviving 2020 Treat: a sale!

Get 25% off Manduka mats currently in stock and 20% off any special order Manduka Mat through this Sunday!

Order or purchase your mat through Woven Yoga and save on retail pricing when you give your old mat to a local school. (And to make it easy, I’ll even collect them in the studio and save you a trip.)

So, you take the Manduka Mat Quiz to zoom into what type of mat works best for your body and your practice. Browse my in-stock selection and purchase for 25% off. You can take it with you at the time of purchase for immediate gratification.

If you’d rather pick out your favorite color or find a longer length, than take a look at the selection on the Manduka website and reach out to me to special order on Sunday, August 16. I’ll still give you 20% off the listed retail price (I cannot guarantee that I can honor online sale pricing) and have it in the studio before school starts.

To make it easy on you, you can leave your recycled mat at the studio and I’ll get it to a classroom heading outdoors this fall.

So go ahead and browse these beautiful, quality mats. It’s for the children.

Let’s Get Outside

//  by 

There’s a million reasons to enjoy a yoga practice outside right now. The gorgeous weather, the connection with the earth and the elements, the fresh air… and now, with our state and community needing to care a bit more care of one another, it provides space, safety and peace of mind. Friends have graciously offered their large, private outdoor space for us to practice whenever we wish, and I’m going to take them up on it.

Our next outdoor practices are:

Tuesday, August 11 at 7:15 PM: All-Levels Flow

Everyone currently registered for the All-Levels Flow are already taken care of. I’ve changed the class so that a greater number of participants can join us.

But what if it rains?

Well, the forecast says it won’t. But alas, we live in Ohio and that might change. The first 6 who have registered will get a spot in the studio. All other participants will be refunded.

I am asking that anyone who plans to come pre-registers so that I can communicate any changes easily.

This will be the first of our outdoor classes. Not all future classes will be outside – they will be announced ahead of time and noted in the online calendar.

Welcome to the South Park

Lovingly dubbed the “South Park” by nearby residents, the green space is the center of the homes on 7th, High and Pleasant View Drive. This will allow us to be out-of-doors with privacy – there are many trees to shield us from drivers-by. The kind souls at Simply Flooring & Fireplace said we are welcome to park near the back and the west side of the lot. You can also park on the grass on the other side of the parking lot behind Loose Family Furniture.
