Ocean View Yoga

What a beautiful weekend at Ocean View Yoga!

Our Yoga Teacher Training weekend was filled with learning, laughter, movement, connection, and so much growth. We had such a wonderful time with Mayumi during Laughter Yoga, reminding us that joy is truly something we can practice and bring with us into everyday life.

Daisy’s class was absolutely beautiful and deeply restorative. What a gift it was to slow down, breathe, release, and simply be.

Our student teachers also did an amazing job! This weekend we dove deeply into our asana clinic, moving through so many poses and spending time learning how to teach each one with clarity, intention, safety, and compassion. Watching our students grow into confident teachers is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, practiced, learned, laughed, rested, and shared your energy with us this weekend. We are so grateful for our Ocean View Yoga community.

And there is so much more coming this week!

Join us next Saturday from 12 to 4 p.m. for Reiki Training.

Then on Sunday, take some time just for YOU during our Self-Care Sunday Sound Bath with Ursi at 1 p.m.

And of course, all of our regular classes are happening throughout the week.

As we come to the close of August, let’s get back on the mat, breathe deeply, move our bodies, nourish our spirits, and remember that taking care of ourselves is not selfish. It is essential.

We can’t wait to see you at Ocean View Yoga!

There is something powerful about learning to work with energy, intention, and healing.

Happy Monday! As we welcome in a new week, we’re reflecting on a beautiful Saturday spent in nature for our very first Hiking Club adventure at First Landing.

We started with a little yoga drop-in, grounding ourselves with breath, movement, and connection before heading out for 5 miles of beautiful trails, trees, and nature.

The mosquitoes were definitely out hunting, but everyone came prepared and covered, and we kept enjoying the walk! There was something so special about passing other like-minded nature lovers along the trail. Every smile, wave, and friendly greeting warmed the heart and reminded us how wonderful it is to share the outdoors with others.

What a beautiful way to spend a Saturday and reset for the week ahead. There’s still plenty of summer left, so get outside, breathe deeply, move your body, and soak up as much time in nature as you can. 🌞🌿

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first hike! We can’t wait for next month when we explore Nolan Trail.

🥾 Come move, breathe, hike, connect, and enjoy this beautiful summer with us!

Last weekend with our Yoga Teacher Training cohort was amazing!

We took a deep dive into anatomy, expanding our understanding of the body, movement, alignment, and how we can safely and skillfully guide our future students. Special thanks to Haruko for guiding us in this section!!

We also celebrated a BIG milestone. Ann, Ursi, and Marina all taught their very first full classes! Watching each of them step into their own voice, confidence, and unique teaching style was such a beautiful part of the weekend. We are so proud of you!

It is amazing how each weekend we spend together on the mat, we discover just how much more there is to learn. Yoga truly is a lifelong journey. There is always another layer to explore, understand, and experience.

Interested in joining our next Yoga Teacher Training?

Our next program begins January 2027, and we are accepting applications now.

If you have been feeling the call to deepen your practice, expand your knowledge, and learn how to share the transformative practice of yoga with others, this may be your time.

This morning’s Kundalini Yoga class with Yogi Ray was truly amazing.

Kundalini invites us to move beyond the physical, to awaken energy, expand awareness, clear what no longer serves us, and reconnect with the deepest part of ourselves.

Every practice is an invitation to breathe deeper, open wider, and remember who you are.

Sat Nam, a sacred mantra in Kundalini Yoga, means “Truth is my identity” or “I am truth.” It is both a greeting and a reminder of our highest essence, calling us back to authenticity, alignment, and inner truth.

Join Yogi Ray every SECOND SATURDAY for this powerful, expansive practice at Ocean View Yoga. Come exactly as you are and leave with a little more space, clarity, and connection within.

“The greatest journey is the one that brings you back to yourself.”**

Breathe. Awaken. Expand. Become.

My heart is so full after an incredible weekend of Yoga Teacher Training and our beautiful Self Care Sunday celebration honoring Guru Purnima.

Being a teacher of teachers continually reminds me that the greatest teachers never stop being students. Yoga invites us to remain curious, to question with humility, and to keep our hearts and minds open to whatever wisdom is ready to unfold. Every training weekend deepens my own practice just as much as it supports the journeys of those stepping into teaching.

A heartfelt thank you to Yogi Ray for sharing his incredible knowledge and wisdom on the bandhas. His depth of understanding and ability to make these subtle yet powerful practices come alive is always inspiring. We are so grateful for the passion and experience he brings to every training.

Ursi brought all the magic with her heartfelt dharma talk, guiding us through the chakras during a deeply nourishing meditation and sound bath experience. It was such a beautiful offering that perfectly honored the spirit of Guru Purnima, a day dedicated to expressing gratitude for the teachers, guides, and wisdom that illuminate our path.

This season’s teacher training cohort continues to inspire me with their authenticity, compassion, and open hearts. Watching each of them grow into confident, thoughtful teachers has been an incredible privilege.

I cannot wait for our community to experience these amazing new teachers. Be sure to join us for our Student Teacher Classes beginning in August and support them as they step into sharing the gifts of yoga with the world. Their hearts are ready, and I know you’ll leave feeling inspired. Ursi Salkey | Holistic Wellness Coach x Sound Practitioner heather nicole

Happy Guru Purnima!

Today we honor the light of the Guru, the one who removes the darkness of ignorance and gently guides us toward truth, wisdom, and our highest Self. In the yogic tradition, Guru Purnima is a sacred day of gratitude, reflection, and devotion. It reminds us that while we may have teachers who inspire and guide us, the deepest Guru ultimately resides within each of us.

This morning, we were blessed with a beautiful discourse from Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati and Sadhviji. Their words were a heartfelt reminder that the path of yoga is one of love, service, compassion, and awakening. Sharing this sacred morning with our Ocean View Yoga teachers and students made the celebration even more meaningful.

May you take a moment today to honor the teachers who have helped shape your journey, whether they have come in the form of a spiritual guide, a loved one, a life experience, or the quiet wisdom of your own heart. Trust that the right Guru appears when we are open, ready, and willing to listen.

Wishing you a blessed Guru Purnima filled with gratitude, humility, and the light of inner wisdom.

Every day is an opportunity to begin again.

In yoga philosophy, we are reminded that this human life is a precious gift. Each breath is an invitation to become more present, more compassionate, and more awake to the beauty that already exists within and around us. Gratitude is not something we wait to feel. It is a practice that gently transforms the way we experience the world.

This week, we have been exploring the subtle body energetics, the layers of energy that flow beyond what we can see. As we bring awareness to our breath, our hearts, and our inner landscape, we begin to clear what no longer serves us and create space for joy, connection, and peace.

May you take a moment today to pause, breathe deeply, and give thanks for this beautiful journey. Your energy matters. Your presence matters. And every day you are given is another chance to live with an open heart.

Join us this Sunday at 1:00 PM for a peaceful Sound Bath and Meditation led by Ursi as we come together to honor the sacred occasion of Guru Purnima.

Guru Purnima is one of the most meaningful celebrations in the yogic tradition. It is a day to honor the guru, the teacher who helps guide us toward wisdom, self discovery, and inner peace. It is also a time to express gratitude for all of the teachers, mentors, and guides who have illuminated our path, while recognizing the wisdom that lives within each of us.

Through the healing vibrations of crystal singing bowls, meditation, and stillness, we will create space to reflect, receive, and honor this beautiful yogic tradition.

This is a donation based community offering, and everyone is welcome.
