  • New to the BPY Shop – What’s CBD Oil?

    August 1, 2018 /

    Choosing a new product to bring into the BPY space takes serious consideration when Kate is doing her homework.  This month Kate came across WholeMade Bath Company’s CBD oil products and knew they would resonate with the community. Smart sourcing and sustainability are two core values that the studio has been guided by when establishing relationships with vendors and bringing in products to the studio.  WholeMade Bath Company was found by Elissa and Jerell Klaver and today continues to operate out of Fort Collins, Colorado.  WholeMade is proud to be one of the original luxury hemp bath and body care companies in the world. We love that the foundational philosophy of…

  • Taking 5 with Cheryl – Getting to Know your BPY Teachers

    February 1, 2018 /

    Cheryl Van Sciver is the co-owner of Balanced Planet Yoga.  She teaches all-levels at the studio but has a special place in her heart for beginner classes.  We asked her to answer the following 5 questions about her yoga practice: What are some of the challenges you have experienced in your yoga practice and how did you work through them? I have definitely had my share of issues with the physical practice of yoga.  Allowing my ego to get the best of me or pushing myself way too hard in my pursuit of a pose.  This resulted in some seemingly unnecessary injuries.  I say seemingly because it was at times…

    Kate Moats is the co-owner of Balanced Planet Yoga.  She teaches a variety of classes at the studio and has brought all aspects of the practice of yoga into her teaching.  We took some time and asked Kate to her answers to the following 5 questions: 1. What are some of the challenges you have experienced in your yoga practice and how did you work through them? My challenges evolve the same way my physical yoga practice evolves. When I first started practicing my challenge was to not let my ego run how my practice looked or felt. It then progressed to knowing and understanding what my body and mind…

  • Poses in the BPY Flow – Triangle Pose and the Gunas

    November 16, 2017 /

    The three angles that make up the shape of a triangle make it one of the most stable shapes in nature.  In yoga, this posture is comprised of three triangles.  The body makes a triangle with the legs and the floor, a second is revealed looking at the top hand and two feet, and the third one is demonstrated under the side of the body with the arm and the front leg. The triangle is also a visual symbol of many trinities seen in human culture.  The Father, Son and Holy Spirit in Catholicism, the trinity of birth, life, and death, and so on. In yoga, trikonasana (triangle pose) is…

  • Poses in the BPY Flow – Bringing Backbends into your Practice

    November 9, 2017 /

    Chakrasana, Wheel pose, Upward Facing Bow, or Urdhva Mukha Dhanurasana are all names for the family of asanas (poses) that are backbends. Typically, in the BPY flow, we work on moving towards Upward Facing Bow in our backbends, but in today’s blog we will look at the difference between this pose and Chakrasana as well as what we are trying to tap into by undertaking these postures. In Upward Facing Bow, we keep our hands and feet apart, but in Chakrasana the yogi works towards walking the ands close enough to grasp the ankles.  When the hands and feet connect, the body represents a circle.  Achieving this posture allows the…

    November 7, 2017 /

    In this blog series, we will look to break down some of the poses you hear in the BPY Flow to learn more about the myths and intentions behind them.   Natarajasana is a standing balancing posture found in the balancing section of the BPY Flow series of poses .  The posture is also known as Bow Pulling pose.  The pose involves standing on one leg firmly and grasping the ankle of the opposite foot.  As the yogi leans into the posture, both kicking and reaching through the finger tips, the pose reaches its completion.  This asana represents the physical embodiment of one of the many personifications of Shiva. In…
