If you can breathe, sit quietly, and gently bring your attention back to your breath when your mind wanders, YOU are practicing yoga. Flexibility doesn’t matter. And when you get on YOUR mat, you make it your own practice. It isn’t what pose the teacher calls or how far the person next to you is bending … but doing what your body needs.

As parents and educators search for healthy ways to support children’s development, yoga has gained attention as a research-supported practice that benefits both physical and mental well-being.

Yoga combines movement, breathing exercises, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques—all of which can positively affect children’s cognitive, emotional, and physical health.Recent scientific studies suggest that yoga may improve attention, reduce anxiety, strengthen emotional regulation, and support overall wellness in children and adolescents. 

Online sessions are simple and accessible—no frills, no pressure, just an opportunity to keep moving, breathing, and staying connected as a community when our physical space isn’t available. (You also can use items around the house as props… No fancy yoga stuff required!)

Yoga teaches us adaptability, and this feels like an extension of that practice.

Often it can be hard to find the time for a class. Getting there is half the challenge, but finding options that are near to you could make it easier!

I work to keep this updated with paid and free yoga options in and around our Ft. Hunt Community - for classes for adults and kids!

Resources for bee breath and going deeper in yoga beyond movement.

This spirit of selfless action echoes one of the central teachings of the Bhagavad Gita 2:47-49. We are told that we have a right to our actions, but not to the fruits of those actions. We are invited to act with humility—without attachment to reward, recognition, success, or even outcome. We act because it is the right thing to do, being open to success or failure.

I wanted to share a few gentle ways to keep moving and stay warm if you find yourself snowed in.

First things first: all you truly need to practice yoga is your mind, body, and breath.
If you have a mat, wonderful. If not, no worries at all—everyday items around your home can easily double as yoga props. Read on for the household swaps.

It wasn’t until my Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) that I truly understood the 'why' behind this sense of balance—the ritual, the community, the release of burdens, the breathwork, the meditation, and the purpose in each practice.

This 'why' is the foundation of what I now wish to share through yoga: the opportunity to unknowingly discover the 'yoking'—the balance—between mind and body, and the lasting calm or 'SayLa.' This is the heart of why I created SayLa Yoga: an intentional space for others to pause in their lives and be fully present.

The name "SayLa" is a purposeful misspelling of Selah, symbolizing that we are all imperfectly perfect. Practicing yoga invites us to embrace our imperfections—both in ourselves and in others. It challenges us to pause, breathe, and move forward to be the change we want to see, starting with ourselves.
