Tap into Your Summer Potential!

Summertime is upon us, and with it comes the opportunity to embrace the warmth and energy of the season.

Strengthen your body and mind with summer ‘funshine’ yoga balanced with breath work to flow with ease, feel your best, and make the most of the season. You do not want late August to roll around only to realize you totally missed your window of opportunity for summer fun and memory making.

Everyone feels stuck at times, and nature helps move us along with the change of season.

Can you imagine what your days would look like if you stopped doing all of the things you think you “need” to do to “look good” and started giving yourself completely to the things that make you feel vibrant, happy, and most like yourself?

When your life comes from a place that’s authentic, you begin to attract the people, places, and experiences you actually want — not the ones you think you’re supposed to want.

With the summer season temperatures rising and the sun shining brighter with long days, it’s time to embrace the warmth and unlock your true summer potential with strength and ease.

Harness the power of the summer season to help you feel invigorated, rejuvenated, and empowered!

Explore these yoga poses for your “Summer Strength with Ease” practice:

  1. Warrior Poses (Virabhadrasana I, II, III): These powerful standing postures challenge your leg and core strength while also opening your hips and chest.
  2. Chair Pose (Utkatasana): A deep squat that engages your legs, glutes, and core, helping to build heat and stamina.
  3. Crescent Lunge (Anjaneyasana): A dynamic lunge that strengthens your legs, opens your hips, and stretches your hip flexors.
  4. Wheel Pose (Urdhva Dhanurasana): A heart-opening backbend that builds upper body strength and flexibility.
  5. Dolphin Pose (Makarasana): A forearm balance that challenges your core and shoulder stability while also calming the mind.
