Walk outside. Feel the warm sunshine on your face. Breathe in the fresh air. Take refuge in the simple miracles. . On March 16th we made the difficult but clear decision to temporarily close the studio through March 31st, at which point we will reassess the safest way forward. This is all happening so rapidly, and for all of us. We are doing our part to respond appropriately to minimize risk, rather than to react out of fear. . We are exploring live online streaming with your... Ojai Yoga Shala teachers. Stay tuned! . We greatly appreciate your support, patience, and flexibility during these wild and unpredictable times. It is a true test of our capacity and inner strength as human beings. May we not forget that we are in this together, that this is a shared human experience, and that this too shall pass. May we be resilient and loving towards ourselves and one another. With love & gratitude, Alana See more

Learning to be relaxed and focused at the same time is an essential life skill. Yoga for pre-teens & teens is designed to do just that. Increase our capacity for attention and ease, while reducing anxiety, stress, depression, and overstimulation. Yoga invites us back into our body and senses through the breath, allowing us feel more deeply connected to ourself and those around us. . The more people practicing Yoga on the planet the better, especially our youth! Please spread the word about our Yoga for Pre-teens & Teens class (ages 10-14) on Wednesdays 4:15-5:15pm with @loveedenflynn @ojaiyogashala . It may actually save someone’s life, like it did mine at age 15.
