With special guest Bridget McCloskey-Baird — In this class, Bridget will use Chakra-Tuned Quartz Crystal Bowls to connect with each chakra's essence, bringing alignment and balance to the entire body. Sound Healing also recalibrates our nervous systems and brings the mind to a state of harmony through the healing frequencies of each bowl. $25

We’ll dive deeper into the psychophysical-spiritual energy of each chakra; the practices that enliven them; and the ways our practice can bring awareness and freedom to our inner energies. 

This class is open to all: teachers, future teachers, or just those looking to expand their knowledge. These hours can be applied to the Strongheart Yoga Deepen Your Practice 50HR or 200HR Teacher Training schedule to begin in September. And will qualify for 3 contact CEUs with Yoga Alliance.

Come and find your own warrior’s heart. We’ll seek our own inner courage with our practice, as we honor those whose courage gave us peace and freedom. Walk-ins welcome, preregistration encouraged.

Come join us as we celebrate 13 years of Strongheart and the opening of City Yoga Warren. Both of the sister studios will be open to everyone. Enjoy light refreshments, a fun activity, and our vibrant community. All are welcome.

Sandra Aloia will dedicate this Sunday evening practice to what we all have in common—our source of life. You might share this gentle practice with your mother or ask someone who calls you Mom to come share the practice. Or you might just take this quiet evening to contemplate the power and influence of your first human connection, whether she’s with you or not.

We’ll talk about different causes for sciatic pain; practice a mindful, targeted yoga practice to overcome it; learn key actions in yoga poses to get results; learn some do’s and don’ts for sciatic relief and key poses to avoid; and an approach to long-term yoga practice for sciatica prevention.

Participants will get a printed yoga plan to take home with them.

Experience the transformative power of crystal energy healing at our immersive crystal sound healing workshop. Join us and let the soothing vibrations cleanse, align, and connect you to a deeper level of healing. Attendees will receive a Crystal Healing Workbook, 2 FREE Crystals, and a truly unique Sound Bath Meditation. 

Sandra Aloia will be away so we’ll miss Sunday Basic Yoga with Meditation. But that means time and freedom for a great deep relaxation with our next door neighbor Dawn in her lovely studio.

Harness the healing energy of crystals. This interactive workshop will teach you how to utilize crystal healing for your well-being. The workshop will include complementary crystals, a workbook, tea, a meditation and a sound healing. A beautiful afternoon to learn a new way to care for yourself. 

Strongheart is in the enviable position of knowing two wonderful sound practitioners who can take us on a journey of self-discovery with their beautiful crystal singing bowls. Resting back and allowing the vibration to surround us, we can restore our mental balance and leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. $25. Register early for this popular event.

As we light the candles to shine out to the world, we can begin to replenish our inner flame as well. Without harsh judgment, we can patiently reflect to recreate ourselves, increase our joy, and shine.

Our movement practice will be gentle and suitable for all. No previous experience required.

And we’ll finish with a brief yoga nidra guided meditation.

Let’s share some community time together as we assemble toiletry kits for the Macomb Foster Closet with the generous donations everyone has made. We can make the effort festive with some yogi tea or hot chocolate and some treats. Bring along a snack or sweet to share and drop in to lend a hand while we have some fun.

A special class by donation to Macomb Foster Closet, which helps local kids in need. See details in this event listing, and join Dawn for a Thanksgiving morning practice to start your day grounded in gratitude.

Satsang is a gathering of people looking to listen, learn, and share thoughts and ideas about an uplifting or enlightening subject. Usually the chosen topics are related to each of us finding greater fulfillment and good will in our lives.

This year we are introducing a “Deepen Your Practice” 50-hour training program that integrates with our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Program. Whether you want to explore becoming a yoga teacher, or simply want to take a deeper dive into your own practice this is an opportunity to get to know us as we get to know you. 

We’ll share a practice of a signature Strongheart Flow, which will be foundational for both the 50 and 200 hour trainings. And then take time to answer any questions you might have.

Soundbath meditation is a practice that recalibrates our nervous system. And all we need to do is rest in comfort and open our body, mind, and spirit to the waves of sound that wash around and through us. With Strongheart alumna Jenny Medina, who will bring her crystal bowls and gong back to the studio!

Gaining more understanding of the form and function of these often-practiced poses, will make everything easier and help you get maximum benefit from them going forward.

The Strongheart Book Club is always a casual free gathering and everyone is welcome. This month we’ve been invited by a regular member to meet outside in her lovely yard so we’re hoping for a beautiful Indian Summer evening (but there’s room inside if we don’t get lucky). Register on our class calendar and we’ll send along the address.

Here’s a final opportunity to quiet down the busy over-stimulation of long, hot summer days that may be taking a toll on our health, sleep, and energy. Autumn brings another batch of ‘too-much-to-do’ and taking some personal time for self-care practice before we move from one season to the next can be just what our nervous system needs.
