This month, Vetiver is our featured scent—warm, grounding, and rich with a deep sense of earth. We've paired it with the theme Connect to Your Roots, inviting you to pause, breathe, and gently anchor back into yourself.

This month our featured pose is the Twisted Twig, also known as Twisted Roots—a supine twist that gently anchors your spine, hips, and heart. Much like the winding embrace of tree roots, this pose invites you to twist until you feel grounded, then soften into stillness.

There are moments when life feels routine—when days blend together and your spirit is craving something unexpected. It’s in those times that the invitation to “escape the ordinary” becomes more than just a call—it becomes a refresh, a gentle exhale of the predictable, and a welcome return to what truly matters.

When was the last time you let yourself see today as new, curious, and full of possibility?

Shoelace is a seated yin pose that opens the outer hips, glutes, and IT band—the places we often carry daily stress and physical storage. In this posture, the knees overlap like crisscrossed shoelaces, mirroring how life becomes entangled until we pause.

There are moments when the world feels heavy—when grief, uncertainty, or burnout tighten the chest and shorten the breath. It’s in these times that the invitation to “breathe deep” becomes more than a cue—it becomes a lifeline. A reminder that right here, right now, breath is both anchor and guide.

When was the last time you truly filled your lungs—without rushing, without holding back?

This month, we explore the art of breathing deeply—not only into the lungs but into the stories we carry in our hips, our hearts, and our homes.

Yin yoga teaches us that healing often happens in the stillness—in the pause between what was and what’s becoming. In this stillness, Dragon pose rises. Fierce, grounding, and humbling, Dragon calls us into the depths of the hips, where the body stores stories, tension, and truth.

There are moments when the world feels louder than our breath. When the headlines weigh heavier than our thoughts, and even our inner dialogue begins to echo with a sense of urgency that doesn’t feel like our own.

In those moments, may we remember this:
Peace is not something we find—it is something we return to.

And to return, we must first protect it.

In this Yin Yoga pose, allow your upper body to hang passively over your legs while standing, creating a deeply releasing and dynamic stretch.

This gentle inversion uses gravity to decompress the spine, release tension in the lower back, and lengthen the hamstrings. With each breath, allow your upper body to surrender more fully, deepening the stretch and calming the nervous system. The slight bend in the knees is key to encouraging a Yin-style release rather than muscular effort. Hold the pose for 1–3 minutes, breathing slowly and evenly.

In the quiet moments between the noise, beauty lives—waiting to be seen, felt, and honored. This month, we invite you to soften your pace and shift your gaze toward the often-overlooked wonders of daily life. With the calming, heart-opening aroma of rose, May becomes an invitation to notice the subtle, the simple, and the sacred.

When we choose to look for beauty—not just around us, but within—we begin to transform our perspective and deepen our connection to ourselves and our community.

Snail Pose is a deeply introspective, forward-folding pose that gently stretches the spine, shoulders, and neck while stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system. In Yin Yoga, the pose is practiced with softness and surrender, encouraging the practitioner to turn inward and release tension through stillness and gravity.

In our fast-paced world, the simple act of uplifting others can transform not only individual lives but also the fabric of our community. This month, as we immerse ourselves in the vibrant and uplifting aroma of bergamot, we are reminded of the profound connection between this citrus essence and the yogic principle of supporting and elevating those around us.

Supported Bridge pose not only stretches the chest, neck, and spine but also rejuvenates the spirit by increasing circulation and energy flow throughout the body. As you lift your hips toward the sky, allow your shoulders to ground into the mat, creating a stable foundation. Feel the expansion in your chest and the gentle opening of your heart center. With each breath, visualize releasing any tension or stress, inviting a sense of calm and clarity. This is a moment to honor your body’s strength and resilience, embracing the support it provides as you journey through life.

This month, we are focusing on cultivating healing spaces, featuring eucalyptus as our signature scent. In various traditions, eucalyptus is associated with purification and healing. Regardless of the type of new space you seek—be it within your mind, your schedule, or the environments that nurture your healing and growth—we encourage you to reflect on the following questions..

Allowing yourself to wholeheartedly love someone or something can be incredibly daunting, particularly if you've previously experienced deep love followed by heartbreak. We often say that with love comes loss, and it’s better to have loved, even if it leads to sorrow. The reality is that we know we will eventually lose the people and things we cherish—either gradually or all at once. The question remains: would we rather shield ourselves from pain, or is love truly worth the risk?

Sandalwood is a time-honored incense material that has been utilized for thousands of years in both homes and temples. Hailing from Indonesia, it is prized for its wood and oil, which are important in construction and serve as a prominent note in perfumes. Sandalwood is associated with inner peace, mental clarity, and openness

Saddle Pose also known as Hero Pose can be an excellent stretch for very active people or those standing a lot during the day. There are many ways to experience this posture so take your time getting in to feel renewed and confident!
