Little Plums Kids Yoga 💗
With an emphasis on Healthy Bodies and Happy Hearts, our tiny yogis will explore the world of yoga and mindfulness in a fun and creative way. Guided through movement, breathing practices, music, art, and storytelling - our little Plums will deepen the connection between body and mind and learn tools to help reduce stress, improve focus, concentration, and calm and regulate their nervous systems. Each class will end in a calming and soothing savasana with lavender towels to help deepen relaxation ☺️🌿

A bit about our teacher Elida✨

With over 10 years of experience teaching movement to children, Elida brings creativity, energy, and mindfulness into every class. As a former professional dancer and a pilates-based movement instructor, she combines a strong foundation in movement with a playful, supportive approach that helps kids build confidence, coordination, and body awareness. Her classes are designed to encourage self-expression, focus, and joy through yoga-inspired movement and playful activities.

Link in bio 💫

In a world where distraction, disconnection, and overstimulation has become the norm - it takes great effort to go against the grain and sit in silence and stillness. Technology has gripped our collective minds and has directed so much of its thoughts, emotional states and (in)ability to focus. In this moment in time, getting grounded in Self can very well be one of the most vital things we can do for ourselves, our wellbeing and the quality of our lived experience.

Join for an afternoon exploring our inner states and experiencing the seat of the Observer - in a donation-based Community Meditation class. Ricardo is with us this 🌸🌻Spring, Sundays at 5pm - offering a guided Community Meditation series designed for both new and seasoned meditators, combining both theory and practice to help students build a practical foundation in meditation. To help calm the mind, relax the body and experience a quiet introspection.

You will learn how to explore the various layers of the mind, how to work skillfully with thoughts and emotions, and how to apply meditation beyond the sitting on a cushion and into everyday life. Through guided practices and simple tools, this series will support a greater calm, clarity, and a deeper sense of connection - both within yourself and with the world around you.

No prior experience needed, just a willingness to slow down and explore. 🌿✨

*meditation can be done in a chair, seated on a bolster or yoga blankets, against the wall or lying down

The New Year brings fresh new energy, new perspectives and new ways to connect ✨🙏🏼✨

Looking forward to seeing you in studio soon! 🧘🏻‍♀️🫶🏽

Daniela and I got to meet an extraordinary woman, entrepreneur, visionary and small business warrior who started a nonprofit fighting to make sure small businesses have a place to not only survive but thrive in this ever increasingly competitive business climate. Thank you Jane for understanding the importance of this work and how vastly and quickly our neighborhoods are changing, and not for the better.

Small businesses are the heart and soul of our communities. They help create the richness, character, culture, and unique flavors of our neighborhoods.

Think about when you travel - whether you’re road-tripping or flying abroad to another country. What do you look forward to most?

You look forward to sitting at a local cafe people watching, having a beautiful dinner by a local chef, taking a local yoga class, browsing through shops, art galleries - connecting with locals and getting to see a glimpse of the world thru their lens.

But as we all have seen over the last several decades, the business landscape is changing. There are about 5-10 corporate chains that exist in every city across this country, and quite frankly globally. And they OWN the market share.

You go city by city and you find an almost exact copy/paste version of the last. Same sandwich chain, same smoothie chain, same fast food restaurants, same coffee chain.

I don’t have to call them out by name - because you can see their logos in your mind.

And while I’m not saying there isn’t a benefit to having a very predictable meal experience or being able to get the EXACT SAME footlong, burrito bowl or drive-thru latte you can get in 80 different countries. I’m saying that shouldn’t be our ONLY option. God forbid that ever becomes our reality.

I often think about what this world will look like in 10 years, 20 years, 30 years. And if we don’t do something radically to create an economic system that works for more people than the few who own everything, we already know where this is heading.

I know that I don’t want to live in that world. God bless anyone asking themselves what kind of world they want to live in.. and making conscious choices to help us get there.🌎💛

Our blessed Sun is shining upon us, with the scent of the solstice right around the corner 🌞✨. With it brings new energy, new teachers and new classes to the Plum 💜 Help us in welcoming Janeth to our Plum fam 🙏🏼, come experience her grounding energy every Tuesday evening from 8:30-9:30pm for an hour of deep release in our Heated Yin Deep Stretch class.

This class is designed to help us slow down, breathe, and connect to the wholeness of our selves. You will move slowly through various asanas while nourishing our internal landscape of muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. This class will have you on the floor most of the time, using as many props as needed to create the littlest effort required to hold each pose. Each stretch is held for 2-5 minutes to help you connect and breathe into the spaces that need it most. This will allow for the releasing of tension and stagnant energy, while improving circulation and joint mobility. Surrender to gravity with the deep, calming practice of Yin Yoga. Class is heated between 85-95 degrees, and perfect for beginners and experienced yogis alike!

A bit about Janeth’s journey to the mat:

My journey began when I started college in 2015 and wanted to nourish my body again after dancing throughout high school. It took one class that kept me staying consistent with practicing to gain strength and discipline. I started working as a behavior therapist, and decided to learn how to teach yoga and meditation to my clients. Since then, I knew it was going to change my life for the better and brought me closer to my dreams.

I went on to take several other workshops related to special needs and autism. Even taking Reiki to become a Reiki Master has been a huge shift for the better. My completions included of 200hour Multi Style, 95hour Kids, Reiki Master, Animal Reiki, and Somatic and Trauma-informed Yoga.

One of the greatest gift I’ve received was to share my experience in life and how yoga has truly helped connect to my truth. I hope to create a space where everyone feels safe to be vulnerable and listen within. They are reiki- infused and gentle, and a home for Every Body.🤍

Mark your calendars for y’all 🗓️🥳 and bring the whole familia out to celebrate the 19th annual Celebrating Words Festival, happening Saturday May 18th!
