Summer is a busy time often filled with new routines, travel, and adventure. These changes can make it challenging to maintain a consistent yoga practice. Fortunately, our Video Library offers the flexibility to practice alongside us wherever you go. Our On Demand Video Library provides two options for deepening your lifelong learning of yoga: Videos and Courses.
Welcome, Gretchen Clore! Dogwood Studio’s New Summer Intern (2024)
We welcome our 2024 summer intern, Gretchen. “I am excited to intern with Dogwood Studio.” Teaching yoga is a lifelong learning and Gretchen looks forward to deepening her therapeutic and functional approach to yoga. She enjoys working with beginners and seniors. “This is an incredible opportunity to deepen my personal yoga practice and to strengthen my yoga instruction,” says Gretchen. “At the age of 57, I’m much more concerned with how I feel in a pose and how my students feel in a pose—not how the pose looks.”
Yoga Supports Lifelong Learning
Engaging in a regular yoga practice invites us to embark on an inward journey creating an environment conducive to lifelong learning. Through mindful movement and self-inquiry, we develop a deeper understanding of how our thoughts (mind), emotions (heart), and physiology (body) are interconnected. This heightened awareness helps us tune into our authentic selves, recognizing patterns, behaviors, and feelings that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Celebrate the Summer Solstice with the Dogwood Team June 21st!
Join the Dogwood Team on Wednesday June 21 as we hold space for these inquiries in a special Mindful Movement class to mark the Summer Solstice.
We will gather in community to celebrate this day of the longest light in the Northern Hemisphere. Throughout human history and across cultures and societies, this day has been honored and celebrated globally. This day is a reminder that we are all connected by the rhythms of the Earth, of the Sun, and of the seasons. Even those who live in the Southern Hemisphere experience the opposite but equal phenomenon: the longest day of dark. Thus, we are living on a planet that is inherently balanced, always oscillating between opposite but equal forces.
