KNOWvember at Balance Yoga

This November at Balance Yoga, we’re focusing on one simple but powerful idea:

KNOW your body. KNOW your movement.

So many people move through discomfort, push through weakness, or repeat the same habits without really understanding what their body is doing. Sometimes we think we need to “try harder,” when what we really need is better awareness, better mechanics, and a smarter way to build strength.

That’s what KNOWvember is all about.

At Balance Yoga, I don’t just teach poses. I teach people how to better understand their bodies so they can move with more confidence, more support, and often less pain.

This month, we’ll be exploring questions like:

  • Where are you compensating?

  • Where are you strong?

  • Where are you collapsing?

  • What movement habits might be making things harder than they need to be?

When you know what your body is doing, everything changes.

You stop guessing.
You stop forcing.
You start building skill with more clarity.

That’s the spirit behind KNOWvember.

Whether you’re brand new to yoga, returning after time away, or you’ve been practicing for years, this is your invitation to get more curious about the way you move.

This November, let’s build strength with understanding, not just repetition.

And if Chaturanga has ever felt confusing, frustrating, or painful, stay tuned. I’m offering a workshop designed to help you understand what Chaturanga actually requires, where it tends to break down, and how to build it step by step.

KNOW your body. KNOW your movement.
