Crown’s Philosophy
-
In a culture that values the hustle, and fast-paced fitness, Crown Yoga offers the rare opportunity to literally slow down, every day. Whether through our Twilight Yin, Hatha or Yoga Nidra, we encourage moments of deep stillness for true holistic healing.
-
Often identified as social wellness, strong community provides the support and shared energy needed to stay motivated through challenges and self-doubt. It fosters personal growth by nurturing collective energy and shared experiences, making it easier to remain committed and deepen one's practice.
-
All of Crown Yoga’s plans include our weekly sound bath sessions. We believe that sound bath is an important component of the journey in yoga. A style of meditation, sound baths use soothing vibrations and frequencies to guide the brain into deep relaxation, promoting significant rebalancing when experience cumulatively.
-
We want you to foster a deeper connection between your body & mind and not be distracted by your thoughts or judgments. As a Crown student, you will cultivate awareness of sensations, listen to your breath, feel the alignments, and develop a more intuitive practice and being in the world.
-
Care for ourselves extends to the care of loved ones, friends, family, colleagues, clients, neighbors, our community, and the world around us. With the demands of parenting, careers, obligations, and other responsibilities, it's incredibly easy to neglect ourselves! That's why being intentional about self-care is essential. And that is why Crown Yoga exists!
At Crown Yoga Shala, our philosophy is rooted in the ancient wisdom of yoga, fostering a journey of self-discovery and holistic well-being. We believe in nurturing a welcoming community where practitioners of all levels can explore yoga as more than just physical exercise, but as a transformative practice that integrates mind, body, and spirit. Through mindful movement, meditation, and deep relaxation, we guide our students towards inner balance, vitality, and a profound connection to their true nature. Below is the foundation of our philosophy.
We believe yoga is a holistic practice that nurtures both the mind and body and soul—fostering greater inner wisdom.
We believe mindful practices strengthen individuals.
We believe these stronger, more mindful individuals and better neighbors, and create and cultivate more cohesive communities and stronger societies.
Building upon our foundational philosophy, our next set of principles emphasizes mindfulness, rest, community, personal growth, and self-care. We encourage students to approach their practice with intention and presence, fostering an environment where each individual's journey is honored. Through embracing patience, self-awareness, and openness, we create a space that supports both personal transformation and collective healing.
The Shala
Crown Yoga Shala is located in the historic Cascade Village center’s old school Cascade Bowl building, built in 1959. Our studio features a welcoming entry way, a temperate (non-heated) practice studio as well as a treatment room in the back of the space. The studio opened in 2023. View the gallery>>
