    April 22, 2015 /

    “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtfully committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” — Margaret Mead Marlton, NJ – Earth Day is honored around the world on April 22nd, although larger events are often organized for the weekends before or after April 22nd. Many communities also observe Earth Week or Earth Month, organizing a series of environmental activities throughout the month of April. Here at Balanced Planet Yoga, we have partnered with Clean Ocean Action (COA) for their 30th annual Beach Sweep to help promote awareness for the event and encourage local residents to head to the beach to participate. This…

    Are you a Spiritual Gangster? We are very pleased to announce that studio has become an authorized wholesaler for Spiritual Gangster clothing and apparel.  BPY has paid close attention to aligning with partners that believe similarly in giving back to the communities we inhabit.  Spiritual Gangster believes in giving back every chance they get, which is why that for every item they sell, the company donates a meal to a person in need.  They have also helped other charities such as the Cambodian Children’s Fund, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, and the Make A Wish Foundation. Besides their philanthropic activities, Spiritual Gangster’s entire line is designed with the aim of “Raising the…

  • A Thousand Mile Journey

    March 13, 2015 /

    A conversation with BPY’s Derek McMahon “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” – Confucius Each person has a different reason for starting their yoga practice but most seek something similar from the practice: a healthy body and a balanced mind. I was extremely stressed when I first started my practice. One day, during the midst of a harsh break-up, my mother handed me a mat and brought me to my first yoga class. I never experienced an exercise quiet like it and I can still remember the feeling of lightness and levity that continued long after my first shavasana. From that moment on I was…

  • BIG change

    February 28, 2015 /

    There are lots of ways to make big changes quick. You could chop your hair off and dye it purple or you could quit your job and move to another country. I think we can agree both pretty severe, life-altering changes. But what about the kind of big change that cannot be made quickly with a pair of scissors or a plane ride? What about the type of changes that require hard work – like losing weight, quitting any bad habit, or getting an education (just to name a few)?

  • Gain Balance

    February 6, 2015 /

    You may have noticed that this is the lead-off phrase in our tagline.  Gain Balance.  We put it first, because we think it is probably one of the most difficult things to attain in a modern society.  With a ton of seeming “have-to’s”, like working to pay the bills, raising children, going to school, or caring for an aging parent, how does a person carve out the time necessary for self-care and reset? We know for ourselves that finding time for the have-to’s is even an increasingly difficult challenge that leaves us sleep deprived, cranky, and reaching for our box of Thin Mints Here is what we know for sure –…

  • The Struggle is Real

    January 29, 2015 /

    I finally got into a pose that I have been working on forever – eka pada bakasana or one-legged crow pose. I was super-excited, had the camera all set up, and was ready to post it on my January Instagram challenge for the Chicago Yoga Lab.  I open up the app to begin the process of editing only to find out that my extended leg was cut off by the angle of the camera. No problem I thought….I’ll just do it again. And again. And again. Well you get the point.  The again never happened.  Such is the life of a yogi.  Our egos are always being put in check.…

  • I Cannot Do Yoga

    January 21, 2015 /

    “I cannot do yoga”. Yup, I know.  I have about a million reasons that I have heard to add after this phrase.  I cannot do yoga because I am not flexible, because I don’t know what I an doing, because I heard that yoga tries to change your religion,  and because, because, because.  The list goes on. But let’s be real….you can do yoga.  Anyone can be a yogi. Here is what I am going to tell you – It doesn’t matter one bit if you can’t touch your toes.  In fact, it’s even better.  Yoga isn’t about learning to touch your toes – at least it is not completely…
