Every year, International Yoga Day offers a special moment to pause, breathe, and reflect on the practice that brings so many of us together. For our team of yoga teachers, it’s more than a date on the calendar – it’s a celebration of connection, community, and the transformative power of yoga. From quiet moments on the mat to shared energy in the studio, this day reminds us why we teach, why we practice, and why yoga continues to be a guiding light in our lives.
Here’s a little from the LSY team about what International Yoga Day means to them…

It’s a moment to pause and appreciate the community of yogis we get to move, breathe, and grow with every time we step onto the mat.
