Vinyasa flow, supported by the traditional tenets of Hatha Yoga, is integrated into a practice that explores the space where philosophy, self-inquiry and social justice meet. Classes are open to all practice levels, and build progressively through the month with a focus on a central theme which is explored through breath, movement, journaling and the various layers of the body.

Included in your membership:

2 Live Classes Per Week
  • 7 day replays for all live classes
  • Suggested journaling prompts sent weekly to supplement practice
  • Classes are typically held twice per week on Tuesday and Friday, 7:30am - 8:30am, EST
  • Live class times subject to change based on your teacher’s schedule and availability

Coming up:

May 2023: cultivating Joy. starts Tuesday, May 2nd
Welcome to the journey to your heart space. This month's inquiry is invites us to breakdown any walls that exits between our heartspace and other parts of ourselves. This month of inquiry builds to backbends, preparing and strengthening the back side of the body (posterior chain) to support posture, confidence and ease in opening the energetic heart and tapping into more joy.  Check out the weekly themes below.

Week 1: Foundation - Meeting the Heart
An introduction to heart chakra, and exploration of our current definitions of joy and the ways we experience joy. Physical practice will center on the solar traditional of **Surya Namaskara**, sun salutations, and include muscle action drills that we will use throughout the series to support safe and courageous back-bending through the month.

Week 2: gratitude
This week continues to build into backbends as we explore a gratitude practice for ourselves, our community and what we have.

Week 3: softening compartments
What are we consuming and creating that separates us from the joy we could experience? This week movement is focused on revolved postures as we consider what pursuing joy is asking us to release.

Week 4: releasing judgement
Our final week brings all the inquiry together, allowing us to expand our definition of our and how we can experience it as the absence of judgment.

About tiered pricing:

We believe in honoring the value of teaching and offering a practice that is accessible. Our tiered pricing system is self-determined. In deciding which price feels most appropriate to you, consider your social location (proximity to power and privilege), so that we can collectively move towards equity. If you are relatively stable financially, please pay the standard price. If you need to pay less for any reason, we encourage you to pay the community price.

The Connective is the space where my passion for Yoga meets community power. I am forever grateful for the teachers and community I get to share this work with, creating change in the wellness industry, bravely and collaboratively.

While I found empowerment and refuge in Yoga for over 15 years of practice, I also realized I wasn’t reflected in predominantly white spaces, first as a student, and then as a teacher. I believe that Yoga is a liberation practice, dependent on liberation of BIPOC, but I did not see that being upheld in dominant studio culture. As an extension of my practice and this belief, I created Yuja Soul, Yoga for Black Women, and I devote my offerings to The Conenective’s mission as a teacher and Steward.

My special sauce is my passion for Yoga philosophy, and its intersection with social justice. My classes aim to serve as a brave space, and are known for their physical and mental rigor centered on the power of Pranayama, Bandhas and Mantra, and filled with spacious self-inquiry. And sometimes, in that longer than usual Chair or Chaturanga hold (wiiink), there’s humour, wisdom, and most importantly, loving encouragement and community.

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
