On September 22nd, we celebrate balance in the rhythm and ritual of nature as we say farewell to summer and welcome fall. Autumn Equinox is a time to reflect, to create balance and to set intention. Like nature, we internally possess a continuing rhythm. Our breath, our patterns and our rituals lay shape to all that we create and enjoy.
At Beyond, we are excited to present a robust fall schedule with an array of classes. We have upcoming workshops and trainings that can ignite that spark of new rhythms with crystal bowl sound baths and yoga nidra, or build rituals with meditation, asana and pranayama practices. Our offerings are intended to help you shift inward, connect to the changing season and support you in your own unique rhythm and ritual.
We embrace this seasonal shift, the opportunity to cultivate awareness and balance and we look forward to continuing our journey with you into autumn.
Thank you,
Your Beyond Team

We offer a variety of certification programs to support and inspire your yoga/life journey.

The rhythm and ease in which the breath flows is our true nature. Over time with the demands of daily life many of us have become thoracic and mouth breathers which can create more stress, tension and everything else that goes with stress.
As one of the greatest sources of energy, conscious breathing, is free and always available. Developing the habit to breathe deeply is a powerful practice and requires knowledge, practice and guidance.
DATES: Tuesdays, October 5th - 26th
Registration closes Sept 28th
