If sound has helped you find stillness, imagine learning to use it with intention—for yourself and in the ways you support others.

Join Courtenay for Make a Joyful Noise: Sound Healing Training at Shabach Yoga.

As a certified Vibrational Sound Therapy practitioner trained through the Vibrational Sound Association in Nebraska and Thailand, Courtenay brings a deep understanding of the therapeutic applications of sound. Her time in Thailand working with elephants helped her witness firsthand the tremendous power of sound, and that experience continues to shape how she practices and teaches.

This training is open to anyone interested in sound as a healing modality. You do not have to be a yoga teacher, Reiki practitioner, or wellness professional. Your curiosity and desire to learn are welcome here.

Part One: November 14–15
Part Two: December 12–13
12:30–6:30 p.m. each day
Shabach Yoga Studio | Waldorf, Maryland

Each module is $650. Register for both for $1,000 and save $300.

Your birthright is to be whole.

In Costa Rica, I held space for 10 courageous women who went into the jungle to unwound themselves. One question I invited them to ask was, “How am I doing?” Then, after answering honestly: “What am I willing to do to change the state of my being?”

This morning, those questions were for me.

I’m sharing this because I want you to check in with yourself, too. How are you doing? What care do you need, and are you willing to offer it to yourself?

If you’re curious about Reiki as another tool for caring for yourself, I invite you to join me for Reiki Level 1. You’ll learn the foundations of Reiki and begin your own self-Reiki practice.

Saturday, October 10 | 12:30–6:30 p.m.
Shabach Yoga Studio | Three spaces remain

Register through the link in our bio. I hope to see you Saturday. 💙🙏🏾

We often check on the people we love. This October, let’s practice offering ourselves that same attention.

At Shabach Yoga, our theme is Practice Checking In With Self—an invitation to pause and ask, “How am I doing, and what do I need?”

Our pose of the month, Goddess Pose, offers an opportunity to listen. Notice your breath, the effort you are making, and whether an adjustment would help you feel more supported. Choosing to adjust or rest is part of the practice, too.

Pose of the Month: Utkata Konasana (Goddess Pose)

Theme of the Month: Practice Checking In With Self

Affirmation of the Month: “I love myself enough to ensure my own well-being.”

Perhaps you need movement, rest, connection, or a boundary. Give yourself a moment to hear the answer—and consider one small action that honors it.

Join us on the mat this month. View the class schedule and reserve your space through the link in our bio. 💙

From this balcony in Costa Rica, I’m reflecting on what it means to make room for my own care. 💙

After holding space for women on our annual Saged + Saved™ Sisters Only Healing Retreat, I’m spending a few extra days here attending to my own healing needs. The beauty surrounding me is reminding me how important it is to have practices we can carry home into our everyday lives.

That is one of the gifts of Reiki Level 1. You’ll learn the foundations of Reiki and begin practicing self-Reiki—a way to offer yourself care, quiet, and attention with your own hands, wherever you are.

If you’ve been curious about Reiki, you can begin right where you are. No prior experience is needed.

Join me at Shabach Yoga on October 10 for an intentionally intimate training, limited to six participants, with space for personal guidance, questions, and quiet reflection.

I would love to welcome you. Learn more and register through the link in our bio.

Peace & Blessings,
Courtenay

We have arrived. 💙

For the seventh time, Shabach Yoga has returned to the sacred beauty of Tierra de Sueños in Costa Rica for our Saged + Saved™ Sisters Only Healing Retreat.

Over the next several days, we will rest, reflect, reconnect, practice, laugh, release, and make space for what God wants to reveal. This journey is about more than getting away—it is about laying down what we were never meant to keep carrying.

We are grateful for safe travels, this beautiful gathering of women, and another opportunity to step away from the noise and listen more closely.

The seventh journey begins. 🙏🏾🌿

Sometimes your practice does not need to be about doing more. Sometimes it is about allowing yourself to be fully supported.

This Fallen Tree setup offers the body a gentle invitation to soften, settle, and rest.

Join us tonight at Shabach Yoga for one—or both—of these opportunities to slow down:

💙 Restorative Yoga at 6:30 PM
💙 Sound Bath Meditation at 7:45 PM

Come for deep rest, soothing sound, or the full evening experience. Click the link in our bio to register and reserve your space.

What does yoga teacher training look like?

It looks like learning to see beyond the shape of a pose. It looks like studying alignment, practicing how to support different bodies, finding your teaching voice, and learning how to hold space for others with confidence and care.

At Shabach Yoga, teacher training is not about performing the “perfect” pose. It is about deepening your own practice, understanding the heart and history of yoga, and becoming the kind of teacher who helps others feel seen, welcomed, and supported.

Our next Yoga Teacher Training begins September 11, and there are only three spaces remaining.

If becoming a yoga teacher—or simply exploring where a deeper practice might lead—has been on your heart, this may be your time.

What if falling out of the pose is part of the practice? 🤔

Balance isn’t something we find once and hold forever. Some days we feel steady. Other days we wobble. We lose our footing, begin again, and keep practicing.

This month at Shabach Yoga, our theme is Practice Showing Up. Showing up doesn’t mean getting everything right. It means meeting yourself exactly where you are and remaining willing to try.

So practice falling in and out of Tree Pose. Practice returning without judgment. Practice showing up for yourself—wobbles and all. 💙

Click the link in our bio to explore Tree Pose with us throughout September.

✨ FROM STUDENT TO STUDIO OWNER ✨

This is Williana Parker — a graduate of our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training right here at Shabach Yoga. Since completing the program, she's opened her own studio, Vira Sangha Yoga, in Panama! 🇵🇦

Recently, Senator Angela Alsobrooks took a class at her studio! From training with us to teaching a sitting U.S. Senator — that's the kind of ripple effect one certification can create. 🌊

Williana's story is exactly why we do this. YTT isn't just a certification — it's a launchpad. Whether you dream of teaching, opening your own studio, or simply deepening your own practice, our training gives you the tools to build something real.

Our next 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training starts Friday, September 11th.

If Williana's journey speaks to something in you, this is your sign. 🕊️

Today, Shabach Yoga Studio celebrates nine years. 💙

Nine years ago, I opened the doors to Shabach without knowing exactly what the journey would require of me or whether I was fully prepared for everything waiting ahead. I was afraid—but I moved forward anyway.

Recently, while hiking toward the Airport Mesa vortex in Sedona in 104-degree heat, wearing a sundress, Birkenstocks and one of my mother’s scarves, I encountered that same woman again: afraid, imperfectly prepared and still willing to go.

That experience inspired my latest blog, "I Went Anyway: Faith in a Sundress and Birkenstocks."

Nine years is not evidence that I was fearless. It is evidence that fear did not get to make the decision.

Nine years later, Shabach Yoga is what happened because I walked anyway.

To every practitioner, instructor, friend, member, and community partner who has supported Shabach along this journey: thank you for stepping into the river with me. I am deeply grateful.

Read the full reflection through the link in our bio or visit the blog at ShabachYoga.com.

✨ 5 Reasons Every Yogi Should Experience a Retreat in Rishikesh, India 🇮🇳🧘‍♀️

Known as the Yoga Capital of the World, Rishikesh isn’t just another destination—it’s a place that has inspired yogis for thousands of years.

Here are five reasons why it belongs on every yogi’s bucket list:

🌿 1. Practice Yoga at Its Source
There’s something incredibly special about flowing where yoga was born. Every class feels more meaningful when you’re surrounded by centuries of tradition.

🏔️ 2. Reconnect with Nature
Nestled in the Himalayan foothills and beside the sacred Ganges River, Rishikesh offers breathtaking scenery that naturally calms the mind and restores the soul.

🕉️ 3. Experience Authentic Indian Culture
From vibrant temples and colourful markets to evening Ganga Aarti ceremonies, every day is filled with unforgettable cultural experiences.

🤍 4. Disconnect to Reconnect
Step away from the noise of everyday life. Without constant distractions, you’ll have the space to slow down, reflect, and rediscover what truly matters.

✨ 5. Return Home Transformed
The greatest souvenir isn’t something you buy—it’s the clarity, confidence, friendships, and renewed perspective you bring back with you.

Sometimes, changing your environment changes your life.

📍Rishikesh, India is waiting.
