BROWSE MEMBERSHIPS BY TEACHER

The Connective offers two membership formats to meet you where you are.

ALL-ACCESS MONTHLY

A structured learning experience that balances accountability with flexibility.

All live classes come with a 7 day replay, and some memberships offer a library of pre-recorded videos to supplement your learning.

Teachers change class themes monthly, which gives both students and teachers an opportunity to work with a new topic for the month. This ensures that teacher-owners deliver the most relevant, inspired, and well-rounded practices possible. Students benefit from the consistency and continuity necessary for in-depth learning.

SINGLE CLASS MONTHLY

Receive a new class from your teacher each month. This subscription is thoughtfully curated to provide monthly inspiration and material that builds on a theme.

Classes are either live or pre-recorded. You’ll have the whole month to practice with your video or live class replay.

Repost from Owner @sangeetavallabhan Did you know Repost from Owner @sangeetavallabhan

Did you know that a strong yoga practice can look any way you need it to? 🤔

Did this handstand (old pic) make me strong? I'm sure I felt strong in the moment. Truth be told, me holding a handstand in the middle of the room was rare.

When people think of yoga, they usually think of asana, the physical practice. I love asana! I've always gotten so much out of my physical practice, whether it's asana or more traditional exercise. Recently, I've been delving more into yoga philosophy, which can feel like a workout for your mind 🧠

When we think of strength, we usually first think of physical strength. And how the health of the body can impact the mind. But what about the other way around? Working on your mind, your self, your mental and emotional health can shift EVERYTHING else.

🌱Yoga can do this.
🌱The other 7 limbs can do this.
🌱You can do this.

Look beyond the surface of how yoga is portrayed in the media. And perhaps at your studio. Ask questions, ask to learn more or look for teachers that offer more than the status quo.

If you really want to feel strong, yoga has much more to offer you than a handstand.

Feeling like an empowered, sovereign being can offer you much more flexibility and inner strength in the face of all the ways injustice rears its head in our lives and communities. You'll have strength, but you'll also have direction. Ahimsa, guiding the way with non-harming and harm disruption.

As the end of the summer nears the weather is ☀️ and our bodies could use some time to 🧊 down.  Come cool down and slooow your roooll. 

During this 60 minute class, we will use massage balls to roll out the muscles of our feet and hips.  Both of these areas of the body are often in everyday life, hold tension, and can feel a bit sticky.  Once we’ve rolled out and cooled off we will move through pilates strengthening movements for the feet, ankles, and hips with abdominal work sprinkled throughout. 

🎾Grab a ball, any ball; pinky, tennis, or tune up and COME SLOOOW your ROOLL.  All levels are welcome.

Forward bending asana has an effect of calming the mind and the body. Energetically it has a cooling quality as well. Forward bending poses can sometimes be intimidating, but there are a myriad of ways of practicing that don't require being a gymnast to give that effect. 

Join Jocelyn in a forward bending asana practice, where we’ll begin with a warm up and modified surya namaskar. We’ll move and hold poses - we’ll definitely use props.

Recommended props: 2 blocks, a strap, scarf or belt, 1-2 blankets, bolster or a pillow
