From a place of stillness we are able to turn our gaze inward and connect to our truest self. Within movement we find the energy to create change.
Let’s do both, together.

Journey into the philosophy behind Santosha (contentment) with various practices that encourage finding that place of true acceptance and contentment, including progressive relations, visualization, and yoga nidra with Tara Eschenroeder from Great Abiding Yoga, LLC on Friday, October 7th.

Christi started attending classes with us in August of 2021 and has been so dedicated to her practice. Her smile is contagious!

The reason Christi loves Bloom is the family-like atmosphere and how helpful all the teachers are. Her favorite class is Yoga Basics because of the way it focus on proper form and ex*****on of specific poses. Since starting her practice, she has noticed she is more in tune with her body, posture, balance, and feels better overall.

Be sure you say hello to this delightful human when you see her!

We have so many great events lined up over the few weeks! Be sure you stay up-to-date with all our happenings by signing up for our monthly newsletter at bloomyoga318.com

"This month I’ve been preoccupied thinking about the dependability of my mat! It’s always there, ready… waiting. I can be undependable, I get busy and don’t show up as much as I should! My mat never makes me feel bad, it’s never resentful or unwelcoming! That really is the thing about yoga, once you find yoga, you realize how long you’ve been looking for “it,” once you become acquainted it’s ALWAYS there" - Stephanie Chapman

How much time do you spend moving towards where you want to be versus being content with where you are? Where can you create space in your life? What would that space allow you to let in? What do you cling to (mentally & physically)? How could letting go of this allow you to let yourself live more fully and deeply?
Explore these questions and perhaps begin to work towards answers as you join Tara for a journey into the philosophy behind Santosha, the second of the five Niyamas. Navigate towards contentment that exists within (no matter what life may have to offer) as we partake in journaling and discussion and flow through a Vinyasa practice. This will be followed by various practices that encourage finding that place of true acceptance and contentment, including progressive relaxation, visualization, and yoga nidra.

"Most of us don't come to yoga because life is easy.
We find our way here because of an ache in our hearts or bones or a mind that doesn't shut off. We come to practice staying; staying and not reacting, staying and realizing the chaos is NOT us, staying and realizing we are not broken.
Practice staying - over and over again. Remind yourself you have felt shattered, completely broken and lost. Then remind yourself there will be moments on the other side of the heartache." Elizabeth Pattillo

Say HELLO to Burley McConnell! During the month of July, Kelly attended 16 classes and found her favorite class is Yoga Basics with Stephanie. She loves it at Bloom because of the energy here. She said there is no judgement, that "...everyone is accepted where they are in their practice and encouraged to be their best." She keeps coming back to her mat for the relaxation, tension release, energy, strength, and balance. We asked her if she could have one superpower what would it be? Kelly said, "Healing powers. My dad and daughter, Emily, are diabetic. I would cure them and everyone of all sickness, cancers, etc."

Be sure you say Hey to Kelly the next time you see her!

🤩Give a HUGE Welcome to Jill French Ellis to our Bloom Yoga Family!!✨
In 2000, after graduating from Collins College in Tempe, Arizona, Jill began her career as a graphic designer and moved to Austin, Texas. In Austin, a friend introduced Jill to Hatha Yoga. Since she had studied Tibetan Buddhism since 1999, she was eager to see how she could incorporate her meditation practice with yoga. Once she discovered she could easily make her yoga practice into a moving meditation, she was hooked. Since 2001, Jill has studied many different styles of yoga through the years. Currently her absolute favorite, and love, is for her traditional Ashtanga practice.
In 2011, Jill obtained her Registered Yoga Teacher Certification by completing 200 hours of yoga training taught by Ally Ford of Beyond The Pose Yoga. Jill’s goal is to inspire others through yoga, to help them attain happiness and a peace of mind. In April 2021, Jill completed training with Lindsey Nova in a 50-Hour Oracle Yin Yoga Online Teacher Training program.
In 2012, on Earth Day Jill and her best friend James Osborne and started Yoga Jai in Shreveport which brought yoga in the park to the community and taught every Sunday till 2016.
In the Fall 2022, Jill starts her journey back to school to become a Occupational Therapy Assistant in hopes to help children who may need extra love and attention with everyday lifestyle challenges and she hopes to bring her yoga knowledge to her future clients.
You’ll be able to study with Jill every other Saturday starting Saturday, August 6th for Yoga Flow at 9:30a and for Yin at 11a.

🙌CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR YOGI OF THE MONTH - BROOKE BROWN! 🎉
She started her practice at Bloom Yoga in January of this year and her dedication to her practice is beautiful and inspiring. She told us she keeps coming back to Bloom is because of the connectedness she feels with every class and event and she loves how "the entire studio has been incredibly welcoming and supportive." Her favorite classes are Yoga Basics led by both Stephanie and Elizabeth. Brooke said, "Stephanie’s class helps me experience a flow with the instruction I need for appropriate alignment to help my practice grow. I love that Elizabeth’s class is focused on one pose or even transition to make sure I have a good foundation for my practice." She said she has also learned to listen to her body to know when she needs to move and when to be still. "This translates into my daily life in knowing when I can take on more responsibility and when I need to be content in where I am at," Brooke said.

If she could have one superpower it would be telekinesis. Being able to get stuff without having to get up sounds awesome!
