DAY 6 â LEADERSHIP
Leadership starts with you.
Not someday.
Not when you feel fully ready.
Now.
Itâs taking responsibility for the direction of your life.
Itâs deciding you wonât keep playing small.
Itâs recognizing where you have choice, power, and influenceâand actually using it.
At Up Yoga, we encourage personal responsibility and self-awareness, inviting each person to lead by example on and off the mat.
Sometimes leadership looks like going first.
Speaking up.
Trying again.
Holding yourself accountable.
Taking the next brave step.
Your life responds to how you show up for it. â¤ď¸
DAY 5 â INCLUSION
Inclusion isnât about fitting in. Itâs about belonging.
You donât have to be more flexible.
More experienced.
More calm.
More âyoga.â
You just have to show up.
At Up Yoga, we foster a psychologically supportive environment where everyone is welcomed, respected, and able to show up as they are.
All sizes.
All shapes.
All races.
All religions.
All genders.
All identities.
All backgrounds.
All experiences.
This practice belongs to all of us.
And this community is stronger because of it. â¤ď¸
DAY 4 â EMPOWERMENT
Thereâs something powerful about realizing:
âOhâŚI can do hard things.â
Not because they suddenly became easy.
But because you became stronger.
Thatâs empowerment.
At Up Yoga, we believe strength and confidence are built through practice. Through challenge. Through showing up for yourself again and again.
And eventually, something shifts.
You trust yourself more.
You speak more clearly.
You stop waiting for permission.
You realize youâre capable of more than you thought.
That energy doesnât stay on the mat. â¤ď¸
DAY 3 â INTEGRITY
Integrity isnât about being perfect.
Itâs about being REAL.
Itâs taking the modification when your body asks for it.
Itâs owning your mistakes.
Itâs having the hard conversation.
Itâs saying what you mean and meaning what you say.
Itâs when your actions actually line up with what matters most to you.
At Up Yoga, we believe integrity means operating with transparency, accountability, and respect.
AlsoâŚsometimes integrity looks like taking childâs pose instead of pretending youâre fine. đ
That counts too. â¤ď¸
Celebrate 9 years all week at Up Yoga!
DAY 2 â GROWTH
Growth can look big.
A new job, a hard conversation, a handstand.
And sometimes growth looks much quieter.
One more breath in the pose.
Pausing before reacting.
Trying again.
Coming back to your mat when it would be easier not to.
Picking up a heavier weight or being ok setting them down.
We believe growth happens through challenge, consistency, and a willingness to keep showing up - on and off the mat.
Not all growth is visible.
But it all matters.
Keep showing up. â¤ď¸
DAY 1 â CONNECTION
Nine years of Up Yoga starts here.
This photo was taken right after Katie @katieborman taught one of her very first classes at Up. You can feel it in the hugâŚthe excitement, the momentum, the feeling that we were building something together.
Connection changes everything.
We can move through life believing we are separate, guarded, and on our own. Or we can choose to come from: WE ARE CONNECTED.
Connected to our breath. Connected to our bodies. Connected to our community. Connected through shared experience, challenge, laughter, and support.
That choice shifts how we experience everything.
Today we celebrate our core value CONNECTION: âWe build meaningful relationships through shared practice, honest communication, and community support.â
And honestlyâŚthis community is proof of that every single day. â¤ď¸
NINE years of Up Yoga â¤ď¸
For nine years, this community has been showing up, sweating together, growing together, and creating space for something deeper.
This month, weâre celebrating YOU.
Check out our âWhy Wallâ in the studio and share why this practice matters in your life. Weâll also have Birthday Bingo cards at the front desk all month longâdesigned to help you try something new, connect with community, and maybe reconnect to your why along the way.
Nine years in and still growing.
Letâs celebrate đ
A week in Nicaragua, and itâs everything we love about this practiceâŚexpanded.
Daily yoga and meditation, space to move, breathe, and reset. Mornings that begin with intention, evenings that soften into stillness.
And in between, adventure and play, sailing, horseback riding, zip lines, surfing, dancing to live music, wine tasting, smoothies, tacos on the beach, and fresh, nourishing meals every day at the incredible Verdad Boutique Eco-Resort.
What really makes it though, the connection. New friendships, shared experiences, laughter, support, and that feeling of being part of something bigger.
Itâs the same energy you feel walking into Up YogaâŚjust stretched across a full week, in absolute paradise.
Grateful for this community, and weâre already dreaming about the next one.
