Had my first class today and it was amazing. I have done yoga in the past but never Iyengar Yoga. It's very different from any other yoga classes I've done, but in a really great way. I was a bit surprised by the lack of mirrors in the practice space. However, I actually found that I was able to listen to my body more about the corrections I needed rather than just looking in the mirror for corrections. So excited for my next class!

Had my first class with Stephanie (old and dear childhood friend) and am so thoroughly impressed with her combo of skill and kindness. Couldn't have chosen a better class to attend if I tried. Thank you.

I've been working with Sharon and Stephanie for over a year and have seen huge improvements in my practice. The studio offers knowledgeable teachers, ample props available, lots of class times, very reasonable pricing, and a parking lot! You can't go wrong at Po :)

I came back to Iyengar yoga practice after a year of shoulder and wrist problems/pain. Studio Po was a delight to find in the area. Big, bright welcoming studio space with very knowledgeable, precise instruction. After a month of once a week of practice my shoulder is in much better shape, and the pain in my wrist is almost completely gone. Highly recommend!

I had my first class at po today and it was amazing. It's a learning process, but the instructor was very helpful. You learn the correct form and the how to extend your learning beyond the classroom. Thank you for a great class!

The higher you pull up your #yogapants, the better your hanging #sirsasana... LOL, no exposed bellies 😉😂😍 ... #kidsyoga #tweenyoga #teenyoga #iyengaryoga #startemyoung #studiopo #junctiontriangle #junctionto #bloordale #torontoyoga #yogalove #yogaisfun #yogaisforeveryone #thisisdavenport #jtriangle #yogaclass #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday
Today’s advanced clinic was a study of how the bandhas facilitate and also optimize space in the torso, with a particular emphasis on the impacts (body, breath, mind…) in a wide variety of asanas. ... Thanks to a joyfully curious and dedicated group(!), @stephtenceryoga lead the students through a strong but playful practice while weaving several key principles throughout. ... Enjoy the photos and remember, if you have requests for an upcoming Deconstructing Asana clinic, don’t be shy to submit your requests! ☺️🙏🙏🙏
For tomorrow's workshop, instead of deconstructing one particular asana, @stephtenceryoga is going to unpack (deconstruct!) the bandhas. She has planned a practice that allows for an in-depth and systematic look at the role of mula bandha and uddyana bandha in various asanas. You can expect both active and more passive interpretations of the bandhas in poses as varied as hand balancings, inversions, twistings, and deep forward extensions. If the thought of an afternoon exploring the subtleties of core stability excites you, you won’t want to miss this! Registration is available online (👉 link in bio). Prerequisite: level 3, or permission from the teacher
Just a reminder, Yoga for Healthy Backs (a 6-week series with @stephtenceryoga) starts on Monday! If you are keen to participate, be sure to register either online through our website or in-studio (drop-in will not be permitted). If you have any questions about this new series, please don't hesitate to reach out ☺️🙏
Can't make heads or tails of inversions? 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️ Join Sharon for a 2-class Inversions 101 series and gain the confidence to turn your practice upside down! 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️ This mixed-level series (levels 1 and 2) is appropriate for students learning Sarvangasana (#shoulderstand) and its variations, and for those ready to begin the practice of Sirsasana (#headstand). It's also a great refresher course for those who find Sirsasana challenging. 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️ Register online (👉 click link in bio).
The first session of kids yoga and tweens yoga has been a huge success! To see more photos of the amazing work Sharon does with these exceptional youngsters (and the loads of fun they have!), copy and paste https://www.studiopoyoga.com/blog/2017/10/2/meet-our-young-yogis 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️❤️ ** If you know a young yogi that wants in on the action, register early to reserve a spot. These programs can fill up.
Some familiar faces, some new faces...all smiling yogis! Sharon has loads of fun stuff in store for the young yogis at Studio Po 🤹‍♀️🤸‍♀️😀 . . . #kidsyoga #tweenyoga #teenyoga #iyengaryoga #startemyoung #studiopo
To wrap up the 5-Day Early Morning Sadhana, @stephtenceryoga emphasized the dichotomy of abhyasa (practice) and vairagya (detachment)…doing and not doing…the need to balance intention and effort in practice with the opportunity to absorb and consolidate the teachings. This consolidation is not an intellectual exercise, but rather an internal, cellular process. As Prashant often teaches, ‘doing' the pose is one thing but ‘being' in the pose is quite another… --- Thank you (& kudos!) to the dedicated group of Sadhana students who made this week very special. ☺️🙏💛
Day 4 of Sadhana combined the exhilaration of backbends with a sense of curiosity that comes from deconstructing the various actions...which action comes easily? Which action is challenging? Which body parts are aware and which are dull? Where am I going to feel this tomorrow 😉🙏💛 --- Little by little, step by step. Dedication and perseverance. ---
Inversions...this way, that way, and with a little help from our friends! After practice, students from @stephtenceryoga 's 5-Day Early Morning Sadhana were reflecting on Day 3: 🔹My right side and left side are so different! 🔹Distortion happens when I kick up, but when someone lifts me up my pose is very different. 🔹The English language is so limiting when trying to express my experience in a pose! How would you describe the sensation that comes from new movement or new awareness? ... Isn't it amazing how different insights can come to light when you play with various approaches? ☺️🙏💛
The Sadhana group worked mindfully (and playfully!) today. Adding to yesterday’s focus on the back body, @stephtenceryoga introduced (umm, and possibly hammered home, hehe) an awareness of the side body. It's safe to say that Day 2 of Sadhana was an ode to the side chest 😉🙏💛. Underlying this vigorous practice was also the theme of developing an ‘internal dialogue’. How do I know if I’m pushing too hard? How do I know if I’m not working hard enough? And how do I develop a gauge to ultimately make these kinds of decisions?
Day 1 of Sadhana was a 'get-to-know-you' type of practice :). Where are we starting from and where will we head? ... @stephtenceryoga began the teaching by citing BKS Iyengar’s interpretation of sutra 2.42: Perfection in an asana is achieved when the effort to perform it becomes effortless and the infinite being within is reached. ... Perfection…is this a reasonable goal? Effortless effort…what does this mean? How do you know if you are pushing too hard and disrespecting your body? At the same time, how do you know if you have become complacent in your practice and are preventing yourself from penetrating inward? ... With these questions percolating in the background, students explored their back bodies using Virabhadrasana I, Padangusthasana, and Virabhadrasana III (can you identify the links?!) Next, they translated similar lessons to their inversions. ... Kudos to this dedicated group who hit the mat first thing! Looking forward to doing it again tomorrow ☺️🙏💛 . . . #iyengaryoga #studiopo #yogaforeveryone #junctiontriangle #junctionto #bloordale #torontoyoga#yogalove #thisisiyengaryoga #sadhana #instayoga #instayogi #yogateacher #yogaeverydamnday #yogalife #yogachallenge #yogainspiration #Yogastudent #yogaaddict#yogamat
