🔔training alert!

Yin Yoga is more than slowing down—it is an opportunity to better understand the body, the nervous system, and the principles that create balance between them. This training combines the foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine with functional anatomy and modern movement science, providing practical tools that deepen both personal practice and teaching.

Together we’ll explore the history and philosophy of Yin Yoga, the relationship between Yin and Yang, the three principles of the practice, and the seven archetypal Yin postures. You’ll learn variations, modifications, prop use, and appropriate hold times while developing an understanding of how each posture can be adapted for different bodies.

Alongside the practice, we’ll build a strong foundation in functional anatomy, including skeletal variation, joint function, and myofascial lines. Whether you want to teach Yin or simply gain a deeper understanding of your own body, you’ll leave with the confidence to create thoughtful sequences, adapt poses with clarity, and apply Yin principles to support mobility, recovery, nervous system regulation, and long-term well-being. taken in Ohana Rising by @ohanarising

✨ Community Kundalini & Somatic Yoga Series ✨

Join us for a special community class series led by recent graduates of Ohana Rising’s Kundalini & Somatic Yoga Teacher Training.

🗓 Through August 1
🌿 Wednesdays | 12:00 PM
🌿 Fridays | 4:00 PM
🌿 Saturdays | 1:00 PM

These classes are offered as part of our graduates’ teaching practicum and are an opportunity to experience Ohana’s regenerative approach to wellness, integrating Kundalini Yoga, somatic movement, conscious breath, meditation, sound, and nervous system awareness.

Our practice extends beyond movement. It is an invitation to restore balance, cultivate resilience, and connect with your natural self. As prana (our life-giving energy) and apana (our grounding energy) come into harmony, we create the conditions for greater clarity, vitality, and inner steadiness. From this place of balance, we awaken the potential that already exists within us and learn to live with greater presence, purpose, and ease.

Watching this powerful group over the past several months has been an incredible privilege. Their courage, commitment, and personal growth have been truly inspiring. It has been beautiful to witness each of them discover their own unique voice as teachers, and we are honored to share their gifts with our community. 

💛 Classes are free and open to all. Donations are gratefully welcomed.

✨ Feeling called to go deeper? Our next Kundalini & Somatic Yoga Teacher Training cohort begins in January 2027. Send us a DM to be added to the info list! 

We look forward to practicing with you. by @ohanarising

movement is a love letter to your body, mind & ♥️
new class!!! Mondays 12pm w Marilyn @ondalunayoga !!

functional core & pelvic floor
Rebuild, Restore, Reconnect

This class is open to anyone looking to reconnect with their body, restore foundational strength, and move with greater ease and resilience—whether postpartum or simply seeking a more supportive relationship with their core and pelvic floor.

This class focuses on functional core restoration, pelvic floor health, posture, breath, and whole-body alignment. Through mindful movement and regenerative strengthening, we support the deep core, pelvic floor, hips, and posterior chain—helping the body regain balance, resilience, and ease.

We also address common areas of tension and compensation, including the wrists, neck, shoulders, and upper back, while bringing awareness to movement patterns that influence daily life. Special attention is given to pelvic floor recovery, diastasis recti, postural changes, and the physical demands of caregiving.

The principles taught in this class are valuable for anyone interested in improving core function, pelvic floor health, and sustainable movement for everyday life.

You’ll leave feeling supported, grounded, and more connected to the strength and wisdom of your body.

Please note: This class is supportive for postpartum practitioners. We recommend waiting until postpartum bleeding has stopped (typically 4–6 weeks) before attending. If you have had a cesarean birth, please wait at least 6 weeks and receive clearance from your healthcare provider. by @ohanarising

pov: this girl started singing again🎶🌺 

if you come to any of my classes-  we hum, we sing - we chant- but let me tell you something: i dont teach or share anything that i dont practice or need to integrate myself… my voice was shut for a while… & ngl- i was over “doing yoga” 
i had to remember what this connection meant for me. 

what you may not know is that it has taken me the past 5 years of healing & singing with all of you in the ohana to come back into some deeper parts of myself… moving grief, frustration, longing & joy… 
(if you want to grow & move through your shadows& light, be confronted & have a few ego deaths- some say try plant medicine-  but for real:  try running a small business 🫶🏽) 

especially true in the past few years of showing up in moments where i did not necessarily want to be seen
however, i have learned alot &
this is what i know to be true: 

expression clears what suppression stores

the more you hear yourself, the more you trust yourself
you are not meant to be silenced or made to feel not “good enough” 

your voice builds your self trust & inner leadership (those of you in teacher training w me know 😉🫶🏽)

Naad Yoga teaches that the entire universe is vibration, and your voice is a direct instrument of that current

*when you chant, hum or sing, you are not just expressing sound:  your voice is the bridge between what is felt & what is moved- it is the attunement to your energetic field & what ive been learning & integrating is that your attunement is your gift & contribution to all those you love & your community 🫶🏽🌺🐋❤️
yoga- consciousness, asana, devotion - trust in your inner authority & strength- all these tools connect to the miracle that drives your heartbeat.  That feels pretty nice to me.  Its honest in my body& thats special in this world

I didnt know it but this process has led to something new- and that feels really exciting 💚in the meantime, i leave you w the beloved miss Tina Turner & i look forward to sharing more with anyone who aligns- real soon (i mean- we are already kind of there in the ohana)🫶🏽

🌺 thank you for singing with me, ohana, it has been healing my heart more than you know.  xo lisa taken in Ohana Rising by @ohanarising
