The idea for Soaring Spirit Yoga Studio was born out of a desire to provide a welcoming space and community where students feel supported in their exploration of yoga and wellness.
Yoga doesn’t have to be something intimidating, exotic or complicated. The essence of yoga boils down to the practice of being present in the moment. By practicing yoga poses and observing the breath, you can learn to pay attention to what’s going on right now rather than dwelling on the past or the future. Life’s richness lies here in the present and that’s something worth pursuing, even if it is sometimes challenging!

When are 5 breaths really just 5 breaths?
Hello Everyone! This is a blog that my dear friend Ellen wrote and I felt it was quite appropriate for the first blog entry at SSYS! Ellen was probably the most influential of all of my teachers - from helping me develop that "yoga voice" (especially when I am...
