If you have ever wanted to explore meditation this is the perfect opportunity! If you would like to learn more check out the description below. Levity is an original collection of 30 ten minute meditations written and recorded by Cassie Maloney. Levity wa...s crafted through a process of creativity and dedication to bring you an easy-to-follow guide in body awareness meditation. Specifically, this course focuses on inviting ease to your body, sparking curiosity in your mind, and blending the two together to create a broader scope of self awareness and self understanding. Each meditation leaves you with a thought provoking prompt to explore in your day! You can complete this course at your own pace and download the recordings for use any time.

We hope you are all staying healthy and safe! Due to the new guidelines set by the PA Department of Health, masks will now be required at all times when we are in the studio. We know this is not an ideal situation, and we appreciate your understanding and patience as we try to roll with everchanging landscape of things.... Your safety and health are our priority, and with cases rising at this time we will be following the guidelines that have been set at this time. As things shift and hopefully cases reduce, we hope to return to having the option to wear your mask in class. As soon as we are given the green light to do so, you know that we will. We will continue to provide live online classes if you are not comfortable practicing in a mask, or prefer to practice at home. We are so grateful for your continued support and willingness to hang in there while we continue to pivot and adapt. We are all connected, and we are here to support you. #btbyoga #pghyoga #pittsburghyoga #doingthebestwecan #hanginthere #adapt #community #love #yoga

Meet Arielle! She’ll be teaching Slow Flow on Wednesday’s at 6:00pm-you can catch her in studio or online starting tomorrow! See her bio below Originally a beach dweller from New Jersey, I moved to Pittsburgh four years ago. I have always been a seeker, pushing my limits, testing how much my mind and body could endure, on and off my mat. More recently I have learned that less, is more. Mental silence is what brought me into the practice of yoga. Being very emotional, natu...rally, yoga helped me hone more into my body and to be able to connect with myself on a more spiritual level. I was first introduced to yoga in 2013 and wasn’t completely blown away by it. I tried different studios, here and there and developed a more consistent practice in 2015. Yoga is that OFF button, or, the ON button, however way you’d like to look at it. Since moving to Pittsburgh, I have sincerely resonated with Bend the Bridge and have deepened my practice within the last 4 years. I deepened it so much so, that I ended up completing my RYT 200 with South Hills Power Yoga in 2020. The stars aligned, the cosmos worked in harmony, and the timing was just right. I am currently trained in power vinyasa, but am interested in becoming trained in other forms of yoga in the future. I want to share with the community the benefits of this practice. I aim to provide challenges, yet create a comfortable space to let you decide what is right for your body, and to let your practice be your playground. Yoga connects us in so many beautiful ways, meeting so many interesting, and authentic people that end up being in our lives for a lifetime. Waking up to who you are, requires letting go of who you imagine yourself to be. -Alan Watts See more
