Just a heads up that our AC at the studio is broken right now. We have a contractor working on it and hope to have it fixed soon. In the meantime, classes are still on! We have fans at the studio, and be sure to bring water to stay hydrated and dress lightly. Stay tuned for updates.

New class with Mari starts this Sunday!!!

“Align & Recharge” (Level 1-2)
Sundays 5:30-6:30pm

This level 1-2 Sunday evening class invites you to engage in mindful yoga practice grounded in functional anatomy & movement, with options to level up or down.  At a comfortable pace, it guides you through a sequence designed to build integrated core strength and stability while simultaneously increasing mobility and flexibility, allowing you to flow through each posture with intention. Together, we will move with purpose & self-care to realign our body and feel recharged for the upcoming week.

About Mari mari haneda
Yoga has been a part of Mari’s (MAH-ree) life for many years, helping her maintain equilibrium particularly when facing trying circumstances. As a cancer- and transplant-survivor, she appreciates how movement can promote mental and physical well-being and resilience. Initially certified as a Vinyasa yoga teacher (2020), she has suffered from yoga-induced chronic pain. Yoga Lab’s functional movement-informed yoga teacher training (2024-25) fundamentally transformed how she understands and envisions what yoga can be. It taught her how to practice yoga in a biomechanically safe manner based on functional anatomy, enabling her to pursue yoga pain-free. It also informed her of the importance of compassion to the self and others and of infusing mindfulness into the mat and beyond. She loves the freedom, strength, and creativity that the Yoga Lab method embodies and is eager to share it with others. Mari brings her transnational, culturally and linguistically rich experiences into the mat and strives to create a safe, joyful communal space to practice yoga together. Outside the mat, you will find her running, dancing, doing strength-training, and being an academic.
