Happy New Year from the lake! This fog was unreal. So cool to watch Mother Nature do her work. Tomorrow I’ll be teaching Led Primary at 9am on Zoom. Sign up and I’ll send you a link. I would love to guide you through the practice and into your body and breath.

Things are different right now. I’m working on being adaptable and resilient. If I pine for the past or wait for the future, I create more suffering for myself. So I choose to embrace things as they are and do my best to go with the flow. Look at my sweet little guy with his computer. He’s very distracting but oh so cute. I want to give a big THANK YOU to my students for being so understanding while we work through this pandemic. ... Come practice with me tonight. 6-7pm 1/2 Primary. It’s a short and sweet class that always feels just right. Join me! #ashtangayoga #ashtanga #mysoreteacher #ashtangaatlanta #ashtangaatl #zoommysore #atlantayoga #balanceyogaatlanta #yogachallenge #breathe #bandhas #igyoga #yoga

In this two hour workshop, you will be taught the essentials of the Ashtanga Yoga method. The teacher will begin with a short overview of the practice, the breathing technique, and a few other key elements that will form the foundation of your yoga practice. You will then be guided through a portion of the series with plenty of explanation, demonstration, and modifications. This is a great way to learn the practice or restart your previous yoga journey. No experience or physical aptitude is necessary to join. Please register in advance. You have the option of doing this workshop in person OR virtually. We will take all necessary precautions to keep you safe. All are welcome! #ashtangayoga #ashtangaatl #ashtangabeginnerclass #atlashtanga #balanceyogaatlanta #beginagain #yogaworkshopatlanta #learntobreathe #igyoga #yogainthetimeofcorona

This is our 5th Annual Holiday Challenge. Somehow, each year keeps getting harder and harder. I looked back at the first one in 2016 and the challenge was to practice 12 times in 31 days. Clearly, I’ve changed. Wanna join in to stay accountable? Just let me know and then follow up with me each week so I can give you your well deserved stars. So what’s the challenge? Do 35 practices in 45 days 15 minutes of asana, meditation, and/or pranayama constitutes a practice. If you earn 35 ’s by 12/30, you’ll be entered into a drawing for little prizes. However, the real prize is how you feel when you finish practicing. Have you ever regret practicing?!? #ashtangayoga #ashtanga #ashtangaatlanta #ashtangachallenge #balanceyogaatlanta #accountability #yoga #igyoga #disciplinefeedsthespirit

My practice is a moving meditation. It’s a chance for me to TRY to focus my mind and connect to myself and the present moment. It’s also a way to honor and use my body- a gift I don’t want to ever take for granted. Come practice with me today! Mysore 8:30-10:30am. 1/2 Primary 11-12pm. Tomorrow is a moon day! Only classes are Pranayama and Meditation from 7:30-8:30am AND a special Ashtanga Beginner Workshop from 8:30-10:30am. ... Register today!

Last practice at the shala! I love this place but it’s about the people and not the location. So grateful for the opportunity to continue to learn, practice and share with our fine community at a new space. Thank you community for your support and resilience and thank you @puremotionyoga_atl for allowing us to use your beautiful space! #newbeginnings #community #balanceyogaatlanta #ashtangayoga #ashtangaatlanta #meditate #mysoreatlanta

What are you waiting for?

I’m going down memory lane as we approach the end of our lease. We’ve had so many great workshops at Dalon Road!!!

In the meantime, we’ll settle for a virtual workshop with the amazing @timfeldmannyoga Nov. 13-15. Please join us! Thank you @kinoyoga @timfeldmannyoga @davidswensonashtanga @dkeil108 @pauldallaghan @samahitaretreat @larugayoga @taylorhuntyoga for shari...ng your knowledge with the BY community!

Link in bio. #Repost @balanceyogaatlanta with @get_repost @timfeldmannyoga and @katkoher working #urdhvadhanurasana. I love Tim being a #dharmayogawheel. Such expertise adjusting and Kathy takes the adjustments so perfectly: calm and focused throughout. So beautiful to watch! Kathy your back bends have come a loooooooong way in the past 16 years as a result of your consistent effort. So good!!!

This kitty! I like having eyes on my practice. There’s something about it that makes me more focused and self aware. It holds me accountable and keeps me from cutting corners. Do you have someone to watch you and support you in your practice? We can put you in touch with this kitty OR come join us for a class. We have great beginner deals and an affordable membership for only $52/month. Check out our website!

Did you hear, we’re relocating November 1st and will be teaching our classes out of Pure Motion Yoga. We are so grateful they’re letting us use their beautiful studio so we can continue to hold space for our community. I am in the process of clearing out the shala. We have retail items for sale- mostly tanks and tees at this point but still a few Beyond Yoga and Liquido pants, Manduka bras, mat straps, mat towels and gently used blocks, blankets and bolsters. Please let me know if you want/need some new gear and I can send you pics and details. I’m sad to let go of our beautiful space but I’m thrilled to have a transitional location to get us through this pandemic.

Big exciting changes ahead

EVERYTHING MUST GO!!! Join us tomorrow for Mysore outside from 8:30a-10:30am and treat yourself to some new gear. All Manduka gear is 1/2 OFF, Liquido and Beyond Yoga pants are $40, long sleeve shirts/hoodies/cardigans are $20, all tanks/tees for $15. Please help us clear out some merchandise. Since March we’ve only had a dozen or so students at the shala and we could really use your help to thin out our racks. Message me with questions about sizes/styles/pricing. I can also ship right to your door!

Look who’s coming to Balance! Well, not physically but virtually and we couldn’t be more excited. Please join us in our first Zoom workshop with the incredibly talented, knowledgeable, kind and humorous @timfeldmannyoga. Space is limited so he can lend his watchful eye on our practices.
