Essential Yoga Studio

We are welcoming in a new teacher and new class! Starting April 11th, join Rhett for a 30 minute guided meditation followed by discussion every Sunday evening at 6pm. This class is a $10 drop-in; can be attended with any class card or gift certificate; and is included for members.... Rhett Roberson is a Springfield native who became interested in meditation several years ago thanks to a few of his favorite authors and thinkers. Through the simple mindfulness of breathing practice, there were immediate noticeable changes in the way he showed up in the world around him. After a few years of practice, Rhett traveled to India and took a more formalized step when he had the opportunity to take bodhisattva vows given by the Dalai Lama in his home temple in Dharamshala. Upon returning home he felt a new sense of purpose that led him to enroll in mindfulness teacher training with Lodro Rinzler and at the same time start a master’s program in organizational psychology. His passion lies in teaching people mediation to build psychological resilience and to promote a more general enjoyment of life by combining philosophies of eastern origin with western life and business models. This approach allows the adaptation of mediation practices that are inclusive of people of all creeds, beliefs, and religions.

Oh how I miss hearing the words Here, we can move closer together to squeeze you in as another student walks in the door. Having to modify a sequence because there’s no room to move limbs off to either side of our mats... There’s something about a room full of people with good intentions, flowing movement and synching breath that is more special to me than I ever realized. For now I am grateful that our studio can house the few that it does and I know someday we will all squeeze in alongside each other again #417yoga #community #springfieldmo

Happy December, beloved yogis. As Winter quickly approaches it is important for us to find ways that help us maintain our health and wellness. Practicing Yoga during the Winter months brings many benefits including - warming the body and internal organs as well as the joints and muscles, improvement of circulation, lymphatic support which builds immunity, raising energy levels, staving off depression, and awakening our inner fire which helps improve digestion and burn away t...oxins. We can use this time for introspection and restoration a time to slow down and rejuvenate. So let’s make this Winter an opportunity to dive more deeply into our Yoga practice, exploring the inner realms, making peace with ourselves and our bodies, letting go of long-buried, self-defeating emotions and behaviors and clearing the slate so that we may live more fully with an abundance of health, happiness and well-being. OM for All.
