Erin. Our ripped, wild child. When Erin isn’t whipping our butts into shape in the studio, she is working like a mad scientist in the kitchen to come up with new and delicious vegan recipes. Those are Erin’s two favorite places to be and we are so lucky to be on that short list. Erin has set her sights on cultivating a space where people can come together to eat, brainstorm, and empower each other. Sign us up Erin, we would love to be your first patrons!

What a great way to end an undoubtedly EPIC year! Thank you Jennifer Daily Gress and Steven Procknal for your NYE Tapas class this morning! Tapas is our willingness to step into that fire of growth over and over again. It is the willingness to begin again when it seems like all odds are against us. It is the willingness to pick ourselves back up when we’ve been knocked down too many times to count. Although our individual path is uniquely ours, there is no doubt that we a...re all in this together. There is no doubt that together, we are stronger. And there is no doubt that community and connection matter when it comes to the growth and progress of our world. Thank you for being with us on this wild ride! Cheers to all we’ve learned in 2020 and to whatever challenges and joys 2021 has to offer! See more

It’s officially boot season and we want to make sure you are going home in your own boots and not someone else’s...yes this happens PRO TIP so you leave wearing your own boots and not boots that just look like yours: WEAR SOCKS AND LEAVE THEM IN YOUR BOOTS.... We know the trend with UGGs and other furry boots is to not wear socks...it’s a risky game to play when half the studio has the same boots and everyone is leaving on a yoga high. Happy winter!

Reminiscing with so much appreciation for past holidays full of steamy studios and happy hugs...AND celebrating our privilege to be together again this year even if it looks a little different! No matter what they throw at us there are a few things that remain unchanged: We love you.... We appreciate you. We are committed to holding space for your continued growth, expansion, and discovery NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS! Have a beautiful holiday with your families, in person, on zoom or whatever you’re doing! It’s ok to acknowledge that things are not the same this year...and then take a deep breath in....and out...and when you’re ready, call in gratitude for the strength and resilience this wild ride is building inside each of us(even on the days we don’t feel strong or resilient). Have a beautiful day PYBFAM! See more

It’s week 4! Whether you’ve been keeping up each week with your daily yoga, meditation and Metta practices or you’re just joining now, we welcome you to week 4! Along with your challenge to practice yoga(asana) and meditation daily as a form of self-love, your Metta challenge(practice of loving kindness in the world) for the week is to write gratitude notes to 7 different people and actually send or give them the note! Handwritten is always special but any format will do! Speak and write from the heart and be specific! Get curious: Notice how you feel during the writing process and upon delivery! Notice any attachments to the recipients response. Remember, Metta is loving kindness without expectation

YES! We are OPENING TOMORROW! Details soon!

Practice a daily Metta Meditation You can find many different variations on this meditation. Some practices will use slightly different words in each phrase of the meditation but they are all heading toward the same goal- to send positive, loving, kind intentions to the people we know and even those we don’t know so well. The practice(we will also share a video about this):... Take a comfortable seat, close your eyes or take a soft gaze toward the floor. Hold someone you care about in your mind. Once you have the person in mind, repeat these 4 phrases to them: May you be happy. May you be well. May you be safe. May you be at ease. Repeat all 4 phrases, slowly, at least 5 times, holding this person you care about in your mind. Then, move to *someone you don’t know that well,* maybe someone you see at the grocery story or on Zoom calls for work but don’t know them well. You will hold them in your mind’s eye and offer those same 4 phrases, slowly, at least 5 times, or more if you feel called! You will repeat the same exercise with *someone you don’t particularly like, someone you struggle with.* Offer them the SAME 4 phrases. This is about offering loving kindness to ALL human beings. This has nothing to do with becoming best friends with the person or even forgiveness per se. It is offering good intentions to ALL beings. Throughout the week can extend the intention to groups of people at one time like your family and even the world or individuals. You can change the people you bring in every time you sit. Our one encouragement is that you don’t skip offering the intentions to the difficult people in your life! It does make a difference!

TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’ and we wanted you to hear it directly from our us: We have learned a lot over the past 6 months. One lesson (of many) is that we have to be able to ride the tide of change and be willing to make shifts happen when we need to. Now is one of those times.... The PYB SOUTHTOWNS location is changing it's name to 716 YOGA and will be operating independently of Power Yoga Buffalo as of November 1st. We are still in support of each other, our students and our teachers. Our community is still the most important part of our studios and we stand with each other! It's exciting and bittersweet. Look for an email detailing how your package may be affected by this change. Please reach out with any questions. With Love & Possibility, Jamie, Ashley, & Lauren C.

Love is why... It’s why we can keep showing up to share in whatever capacity we can. It’s why we can stay on this rollercoaster of (sometimes daily) changes and adaptations.... Love is why we are here. ...Because we love being able to share the practice that continues to push us to grow and adapt, with the people, the community we love. ...Because your love for the practice and the community keeps us going when nothing else makes sense. Your willingness to stay in the practice when $#!+ gets really freaking REAL, is what keeps us grounded in our intention to serve and teach when things feel less certain than ever before. You people are the real deal and WE LOVE YOU for that and THAT is why we are here! . . Little throwback photo to remind you of how it feels to be close!

This week’s Metta challenge is to do a random act of kindness daily. . Metta is by nature selfless with no expectation of acknowledgment or praise in return. Sometimes this is A LOT easier in theory than in practice. It is common for us to do something nice and be met with gratitude. It is also possible for us to do something nice and be met with no acknowledgement or gratitude. How we respond in these moments is what truly has the power to change our hearts and can begin to ...point us in the direction of giving without expectation- the true practice of loving kindness. . It’s really good to notice if people’s responses impact you or if your acts are dependent on whether or not you think someone will respond graciously or with reciprocity. How difficult or easy is it for you to release the expectations around how someone should respond to your kindness? Do NOT judge yourself at all! Just notice! See more

Join us tonight for meditation with Michelle!

When you’re not sure which way to go BE HERE NOW When it’s hard to tell which way is up anymore... BE HERE NOW When everything around you is changing BE HERE NOW When you become aware that you are changing BE HERE NOW When it feels like it would be easier to quit BE HERE NOW Become aware of your body. Notice your breath. Be here now.

Welcome to Week 1 of the Metta Challenge! Each week we will provide you with a practice to inspire spreading love and kindness in your community. The goal is for you to complete the challenge EVERY DAY that week. The challenges will be simple. Don’t over think them. Because we are all about self inquiry, we will also leave you with a follow up question that you can answer daily after completing the task. Observe how you feel. Observe resistance and excuses. Don’t make yoursel...f right or wrong, just observe! Week One Call someone *different each day* this week(so 5people total since this is a short week) and tell them 3 reasons why you love them or are grateful for them. Be specific with your reasons. Expect nothing in return Get curious: Journal about how it goes each day. How did you feel before, during and after the call?! . Still need the daily tracking log? You can find it on the December Metta Challenge Facebook event page under the discussion section or email [email protected] to get the PDF to print!

Hey! Did you know we’ve added waitlists back to our indoor classes?! That means if you don’t make the cut into the class on the first try, you’ll be added to the waitlist(only 5 spots available on waitlist). Then, if a spot becomes available, you will receive an email no later than 2hrs before class! A couple things to note:... 1. If you’re added to class, your spot is paid for so please keep a close eye on your email so you don’t miss class! 2. The studio doors lock at the beginning of class at ALL THREE LOCATIONS which means late arrival will result in missing the class. Please arrive a few minutes early! You know we usually wouldn’t care but we have to follow NYS guidelines if we want to stay open 3. If something has changed in your schedule, please remove yourself from the waitlist so someone else can jump on. 4. Please remember we cannot have any walk-ins due to NYS guidance. That means, you only show up if you’ve received the email confirmation that says You’ve Been Added to Class. Be sure to check the email for what class you’ve been added to if you sign up for multiple that week.

Indoor classes can still be found under their respective studio locations: Main St., Elmwood, and Southtowns. Book is exactly the same. We’ve just made a separate location for the ease of searching!... See the images below! First one is from the website under Studios/Schedules and the second is from the app under locations(three lines in top left corner on the home screen)!

Hey school teachers! We just wanted to take a second to say: WE SEE YOU and WE HONOR the journey you are about to begin. Ok, to be more accurate, we honor the *new beginning* in the journey you’ve been on since March. This practice teaches us to adapt and to hold space for what is; to face change with eyes and heart wide open, even when we are scared, even when we know it could get really messy before it’s beautiful again.... Everything you’ve done in your life on and off the mat has prepared you for where you stand now. Be the brilliant, rockstar leaders you came here to be; cry if you need to, laugh as much as you can, take deep breaths often and feel your feet on the floor. Easy for us to say, but we know you’ve got this. Tag a school teacher who you want to send some extra love to right now!
