Nature has so much to teach us—its rhythms, its stillness, its resilience. But sometimes we forget… we are nature, too. 🌱

Regardless of the interpretation used, in the ancient wisdom of Patanjali(Yoga Sutras (1.2 & 1.3)), “Yoga chitta vritti nirodha. Tada drashtuh svarupe avasthanam.” we are reminded that yoga is more than movement—it is the practice of quieting the mind’s fluctuations.

When the mind settles, we return to our true nature—pure awareness, peace, and presence. ✨

At Willow Street Yoga, every class is designed to guide you back home to yourself. 🌿💛

Join us in Rock Creek Park for a healing Forest Bathing experience. 🫶🌲🌲

Originating in Japan as Shinrin-yoku (森林浴), or “forest bathing,” this practice encourages mindful immersion in nature to promote well-being. Unlike hiking or exercise, forest bathing is about slowing down, engaging your senses, and simply being present with the sights, sounds, and scents of the forest. 🍃

Follow the Wheel of the Year with guided forest bathing sessions led by Susan West Montgomery, a Kripalu-certified Outdoor Mindfulness Guide.

These seasonal walks will help you connect deeply with nature during times of transition, offering a space to slow down, be curious, and awaken your senses. Each session will follow a different route, allowing you to experience the changing beauty of Rock Creek Park throughout the year.

Benefits of Forest Bathing: • Reduces stress & boosts mood • Strengthens immunity & well-being • Enhances focus & creativity • Fosters deep connection with nature & self

📅 Upcoming Sessions: 🌸 Spring Equinox – Sat, March 22, 3:00-4:30 PM ☀️ Summer Solstice – Fri, June 21, 3:00-4:30 PM 🍂 Fall Equinox – Sat, September 20, 3:00-4:30 PM ❄️ Winter Solstice – Sat, December 20, 3:00-4:30 PM

📍 Location: Different meeting points within Rock Creek Park (details sent one week prior).
 **Early bird pricing expires 3/1!

Give yourself the gift of slowing down, deep listening, and inner restoration in nature. 🌿

*A Yoga Black American History Moment* Yoga has long been a powerful tool for healing, resilience, and empowerment in the African American community.

In 1927, the. Afro-American Yogoda Association in Washington, DC, was an early example of how Black communities embraced yoga and mindfulness to cultivate inner peace during times of social and political turmoil.

Civil rights leader Angela Davis turned to yoga while incarcerated, using it as a means of strength and survival.

Rosa Parks, a pivotal figure in the Civil Rights Movement, was also a practitioner, captured in dhanurasana (bow pose) above.

Black leaders, artists, and athletes embraced yoga as a path to transformation. Earth, Wind & Fire, Alice & John Coltrane, Smokey Robinson, Willie Stargell, and Freda Payne were all devoted practitioners.

In a 1975 Ebony Magazine feature, Krishna Kaur, a Black Kundalini Yoga pioneer, shared her belief in the mental and spiritual power of yoga, saying: “The revolution is really one of the mind. The struggle is not on a physical level. It is on the level of the mind.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was deeply inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolence (Ahimsa)—a core tenet of yoga. Gandhi’s teachings shaped the Civil Rights Movement, demonstrating that peace, love, and unwavering resolve could dismantle oppression.

Organizations like the Black Yoga Teachers Alliance @blackyogateachersalliance continue to create spaces for Black yoga practitioners to find connection, support, and healing.

At Willow Street Yoga, we recognize and honor the deep contributions of Black leaders, teachers, and practitioners who have enriched the yoga community. Their wisdom and dedication inspire us all to see yoga as a practice of healing, empowerment, and self-discovery.

*How would you define yoga?* Joe (@joemiller708 )simplifies his definition for us in this video, yoga is about alignment—not just of the body, but of the mind and the deeper intelligence within us.

He also shared Yoga Sutra 1.2: -“Yogas chitta vritti nirodha” 

Commonly translated as: “Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind.” Through movement, breath, and awareness, yoga helps us quiet the noise and reconnect with our true nature.

Joe has been teaching for over 20 years and brings his light, depth of knowledge, and perspective into every class.

He’s known to ask, ‘How’s your body doing?’ And structure the class around the current needs of his students. Balancing yogic philosophy with anatomical wisdom, compassion, and laughter.

Join Joe for class in-person or online several days a week at Willow Street Yoga! 🌿✨
