Coming together as a community is something we highly value at Satya. With each of us leading lives across a diverse array of experiences, beliefs, and backgrounds, the practice of yoga facilitates a greater connection with ourselves and each other.  

Community Conversations is a space where members of the Satya community -- and beyond -- can continue the unifying practice of yoga through intentional dialogue. As we practice listening to others without judgment, sharing honestly about ourselves, and cultivate patience and presence as we witness this process, this offering allows us to integrate fundamentals of yoga philosophy, namely ahimsa (nonviolence) and satya (truth).  

Participants will be seated in a circle and have the opportunity to respond to a series of thoughtfully prepared questions led by a facilitator, Madison, who will guide participants through thoughtfully prepared conversations centered around a particular theme. In order to ensure a respectful and patient space for all, each conversation will follow a set of communal guidelines for participation.

Join Hollie for a deep dive into the beginning of the Spring season. Here we begin to experience the impulse of action, initiating new modes of creativity out into the world. Even with this drive to move forward, it is still important to slow down and not get completely uprooted. When we slow down and continue nurturing the light held deep within, there is potential for more authentic ease and harmony throughout all aspects of our lives. 

Pulling from astrological, taoist, and other ancient philosophies, we will honor this initiatory energy through contemplation of the essence of the season. We will review how this time of year was translated in ancient astrology, look at current astrological movements of the stars, and find threads of integration with how it is connected to our own bodies through theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

During this practice we can spend some time looking at individual birth charts. Reach out to Hollie if you need a copy of yours. 

The workshop will conclude with a contemplative Yin practice where we can allow the activity of the mind to settle into the wisdom of the body.

Join us for a family-friendly tour through the neighborhood on our bikes! Maddie is an avid bike-rider and skilled navigator of the streets of Austin. She has a sweet route picked out, including a stop at Northwest Park, and a chance to chill and eat at the Crestview Shopping Center (Little Deli, Violet Crown Wine, or snacks from Fresh Plus) before heading back to the studio. The ride should be about 2 hours total, with about 6 miles of distance covered.

Meet at the studio at 5:30pm to christen the new bike rack!

Join in this sweet community ride, and experience Austin and our Satya community in a new way.

Join Karlie in April to discuss the classic Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. This is not only for women, but is open (and encouraged!) for all to join. 

We will explore the multifaceted nature of women: powerful, passionate, creative and intuitive and the ongoing attempt of society to quiet our "wild" and ask us to conform to particular roles. Women Who Run With the Wolves explores mythology, fairy tales and folk tales and stories from various cultures to support women in exploring and connecting to the profound wisdom within our souls. Join us to take a deeper look at this topic.

Come treat yourself to an afternoon of myofascial release and yin yoga bliss led by Kelly!

Self-myofascial release is a technique used to release sticky and adhered fascia in the body. This practice can help to improve flexibility and range of motion, calm the mind, and develop deeper body awareness. In this workshop, we will use tennis/lacrosse balls (you are welcome to bring your own devices from home if you have them) to roll out different parts of the body. After you roll, melt into infinity as we take a few relaxing yin postures to drop deeper into embodiment. We will end class with a long, nourishing svasana and soundbath. Everyone will leave with their own set of rolling tennis balls to use at home! This practice will leave your body feeling like a noodle and your mind calm and at ease.

Come learn about and flow through the chakras, the subtle body energetic centers, with Sara. In this two-hour workshop, we will discuss and learn tools to balance each of the seven primary chakras. Through a combination of movement, breathing techniques, meditation, and mantra, you will gain a deeper understanding of how these energy centers relate to your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

This workshop will help you develop practical tools to nurture your energetic body. You'll leave feeling more centered and connected to your inner self. All levels of practice are welcome. Bring a journal, writing utensil, and your curiosity!
