You do not need to be a yogi to come to this.

You do not need to be flexible. You do not need yoga pants or a special mat or any experience whatsoever.

You just need to show up.

Move for a Cause, Practice with Purpose is a Vin to Yin class, which means we start with gentle flowing movement and ease into long, restful holds. It is one of the most accessible styles of yoga there is, and Elizabeth and Jenny will guide you through every single moment.

This is for you if you've been yoga-curious and never tried it.
This is for you if you used to practice and lost the thread.
This is for you if you just want to do something good for yourself and for women in your community on a Saturday afternoon.

October 3rd · 1 to 3 PM · Springboro Eagles, Springboro OH · Suggested donation $10 to $150 · All proceeds benefit Womanline.

Healing. Whole. Heard. Come as you are.

Boat Pose: The Most Hated Pose in Yoga? 🚣

Let's be honest. Nobody walks into class hoping for boat pose. We've heard it all: "I can't do boat pose I get seasick." "My abs are staging a protest." "Can we just skip to savasana?"
And yet... your core, your balance, and your hip flexors are all quietly thanking you every single time you hold it.

Why we incorporate it into practice anyway:
✅ Fires up your entire core

✅ Strengthens hip flexors and spine stabilizers

✅ Builds the balance that keeps you steady on stairs, ice, and life in general

✅ Improves digestion by actively engaging and compressing the abdominal organs

Variations:
🔹 Bend the knees, feet stay on the floor. Helpful if you are building strength and you feel boat pose in your lower back.

🔹 Hold under the thighs for support while you build strength.

🔹 Use a strap around the legs and the back.

Lets hear your thoughts....
Do you love boat pose it is your jam / or do you groan inwardly or out loud when we come to a seat a little early in the practice?

Tag your favorite boat pose buddy. Misery loves company, but so does core strength. 😉

September Is Healthy Aging Month, and We Want to Celebrate You

Aging well is not about doing everything you did at thirty. It is about staying strong, staying connected, and staying you. That is exactly what our chair yoga classes are here for.

Growing older comes with change, but it does not have to mean giving up the things that make you feel like yourself. Our chair yoga program was built around one simple idea: healthy aging is possible at any stage, and it looks different for everyone. Here is how our classes support that:

Functional strength: We focus on the movements you actually use every day, like standing up from a chair, reaching for something on a shelf, or turning to check behind you. Building strength in these specific movements helps you stay capable and confident at home.

Balance and fall prevention: Falls are one of the biggest risks to independence as we age. Our classes work on balance and stability in a safe, supported way, so you can move through your day with less worry.

Mobility and flexibility: Stiffness can creep in over time and make everyday tasks harder than they need to be. Gentle, consistent movement helps keep your joints and muscles more comfortable and responsive.

Community and connection: Isolation is one of the quiet challenges of aging, and it affects wellbeing just as much as physical health does. Our classes are a place to see familiar faces, share a laugh, and feel like part of something.

Joy and laughter: We do not take ourselves too seriously in class. There is real research behind the benefits of laughter for stress and mood, and our students will tell you it is one of their favorite parts of showing up each week.

Accessibility and inclusion: You do not need any prior yoga experience, special equipment, or a certain fitness level to belong here. Every class meets you exactly where you are, chair and all.

Healthy aging is not about turning back the clock. It is about staying strong enough, connected enough, and joyful enough to keep living the life you want. This September, we would love for you to join us and see what a chair yoga class can do for you.

🎉 100 CLASSES! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating TWO very special ladies — Sandy Moore & Sandy Lay! 💜💚

These two are the definition of consistency and commitment, rarely missing a Tuesday or Thursday class. And honestly? I can’t imagine our classes without either one of them!

✨ Sandy Moore keeps us on our toes — literally and figuratively! 😂 She always brings the laughter and keeps us smiling. She’s also noticed some pretty amazing real-life changes from her yoga practice, including how much easier it is to get in and out of the car and even climb stairs! Her holiday homes tour adventure included 10 houses — ALL TWO STORIES! 🏠👏

✨ Sandy Lay is our quiet, steady presence. She may not be the loudest voice in the room, but her consistency speaks volumes. One of the biggest changes she’s noticed? A huge improvement in her balance. And that is something worth celebrating! 🧘‍♀️💚
What I love most is that these milestones aren’t just about counting classes. They’re about showing up, staying committed, noticing the little changes, and continuing to grow.

Sandy Moore & Sandy Lay — you are both an inspiration! ❤️
Thank you for showing up for yourselves, for each other, and for our yoga community week after week.

100 classes down… and I hope MANY more to go! 🎉🧘‍♀️💚💜

Green, glitter, and zero regrets. This costume has seen more hip circles than I can count 😄 Belly dance isn't about being perfect, it's about feeling incredible in your own skin. Who's ready to try it?
