Future Focused

Join us for a full moon inspired class on Friday 8/12/2020 from 6PM to 8PM led by Emmalee.

August's full moon (actual time of the full moon is 8/12 at 236AM) is called the Sturgeon Moon. North American fishing tribes called August's full moon the sturgeon moon since the species appeared in number during this month. It's also been called the green corn moon, the grain moon, and the red moon for the reddish hue it often takes on in the summer haze.

This will be a two hour event consisting of a centering talk at the beginning, followed by meditation then a 75 minute yoga flow, and ending with a lengthy savasana.

Do you ever have a sudden urge to throw on your favorite song and dance around the room? Are you tired of putting yourself through grueling workout sessions just to lose weight? Are you ready to experiment with a fierce new combination of yoga, strength, and cardio?

If this sounds like you, wait until you learn about BUTI yoga. It will rock your world!

Classes begin Tuesday March 1 at 730 PM with Emmalee Bolton

We are excited to welcome Alyssa Dausman for her Inversions & "Floating" Workshop. This workshop is for intermediate to advanced Yoga students, as well as for Yoga teachers who get 2.5 Contact CE hours. ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: Are you an intermediate or advanced Yoga student or teacher that regularly attends Vinyasa classes? Do you ever ask yourself, "How do I advance my inversion practice and learn to 'float' to the front of the mat from down dog, or 'float' to the back of the mat from a standing forward fold? How do I build the strength to do inversions that help with the 'float'?" This workshop can help you learn the techniques to begin that process. It's not only building strength, but also engaging the core, maneuvering the pelvis and tilting it properly, stacking your body/bones in a way facilitates ease, and focusing on the breath in a way that supports your body to move safely. We'll focus on safety to be able to grow this part of your practice while minimizing injuries. We'll discuss self talk and how to dispel the fear that often arises when attempting to 'float'. Even if you can't do it, you'll learn exercises and techniques to begin the process safely.

*We will begin with a short discussion on the techniques, what and where to engage, how to move the body and focus on the breath. *We'll warm up and do several different exercises, both physical and mental, to help practice and overcome the fear. *We'll go to the wall to practice some of the exercises, utilize the wall to overcome fear, and then discuss ways to 'get off the wall' in the future. *We'll discuss discipline in our Yoga practice and life, and how discipline is a key to growing physically, mentally, and spiritually.

WHO/ABOUT THE TEACHER: Yogini Alyssa Dausman, E-RYT 200 & RYT 500 has been a teacher for 7 years. She was an athlete most of her life (running and basketball) and transitioned to Yoga in her late 30s as a result of chronic injuries from running. Because of her A-type personality, she spent much of her time in the first 3-4 years of Yoga focusing on the physical part of the practice to turn off her brain. However, through her journey over the last 7 years, she has grown in her mental and spiritual practice and enjoys a well-rounded Yoga life. She was over the age of 40 when she was able to hold her first handstand off the wall in the middle of the room. Now, at the age of 46, she still has an active physical and mental Yoga practice that supports 'floating', handstands, and inversions. While she teaches at, and helps manages, Loft Yoga BSL, she has also done training to teach Yoga to active military and Veterans and has been a Naval Special Warfare Yoga Instructor for over 5 years. She did her training at Transform NOLA, Shanti Yoga Training School (also hosted at Loft Yoga BSL), and Warriors at Ease. Instagram @Yoga.Alyssa and Twitter @YogaAlyssa.

 How long have you been practicing yoga? 

Since March 2019

What is your favorite class/practice? 

It's so hard to choose! I enjoy the challenge of the heated classes and the restorative aspect of the Power and Restore classes.

What inspires you to be healthy?

I've struggled with mental and physical health issues over the years and I've found that I feel the best when I eat healthy and move my body. Yoga has become such a big part of that in the last year; I've always exercised in some capacity but yoga is different, my body feels good when I consistently practice. 

What is your favorite ice cream flavor? 

Mint chocolate chip

If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself? 

Don't worry so much. Things will always work out, whether it's the way I planned or not. 

What celebrity (living or otherwise) would you invite to dinner and why? 

Molly Yeh! I love her cookbook and cooking show, and it would be so fun to eat and discuss good food with her. 

What is one goal you would like to achieve in 2020? 

To spend less time using technology or social media and read more books.
