Many of us dread the end of daylight savings time. On one hand, it’s totally understandable. All summer long, we reveled in warm evenings that lingered until 9pm. Now we’re faced with cold, dark winter nights that begin at 5pm. BUT . . . what if we could use the end of daylight savings time to instill better habits?

The first two limbs of yoga are the yamas (yah-muhs) and niyamas (nee-yah-muhs). There are five of each. I think of them as the ten commandments of yoga, the dos and don’ts of ethical living. We’ve been studying them in detail in yoga teacher training, and this week, Alex White felt compelled to share her thoughts on the third yama: nonstealing. It’s not as simple as you think.

Here’s another insightful blog post from Main Street Yoga yoga teacher trainee, Alex White. Alex teaches “Bend & Balance” on Fridays at 5:30 pm at MSY. Save your spot now!

I am so excited to announce the addition of two new yoga teachers at MSY! Both of these women have won me over, and I’m thrilled to be able to add them to our roster.

By now, most of us know that yoga provides a myriad of benefits for the mind and spirit. In this week’s blog post, MSY’s yoga teacher trainee, Alex White, who also holds a degree in exercise science, explains how yoga is also a whole-body workout.

This week we’re getting back to our investigation of the three doshas with MSY yoga teacher trainee, Alex White . . .

It’s been a while since we’ve had events to publish, but I’m happy to say that MSY events are back! Here’s what’s happening in August . . .

Hello all! My name is Alexandra “Alex” White. I am currently on my journey to becoming a 200 RYT with your founder and owner, Angela Hammond. For the next few weeks, we will explore the three doshas of Ayurveda and begin to understand ourselves better. By gaining knowledge about ourselves, we can create an even better plan to conquer goals as well as continue our journey to wholeness!

Yoga’s sister science teaches us how to handle the heat of summer.

It’s time to tap into your own innate wisdom.

I hope your summer is off to a great start! For me, June has been, literally and figuratively, a breath of fresh air. Getting back into the studio has lifted my spirits tremendously.

If the past few months have taught me anything, it’s that growth isn’t predictable. It’s not always a well thought out plan that proceeds on a linear course toward a pre-conceived goal. Sometimes it’s an ugly, messy breakdown that leads you toward a breakthrough you didn’t even know you needed.

MSY is opening in a limited capacity on Monday, May 18th!

On April 1, 2016, Main Street Yoga opened its door to a packed house. Four years later, our community of yogis is stronger than ever, despite the fact that our door is temporarily locked.

Thanks to COVID-19, it is now necessary for me to foray out of my comfort zone into the online realm and get comfortable with being uncomfortable (i.e. presenting myself live online).
