FOR NEW STUDENTS

What OUR STUDENTS SAY:

  • “I go to All Life is Yoga because I consider it the premier studio in Atlanta for alignment-based Purna Yoga practice. This yoga is not just about the physical postures, but about all of life. This is a diverse place that honors all people, regardless of age, size, ability level, or flexibility, and we all practice together.”
    — Clare Allah
  • “Rutu Chaudhari is one of my mentors. Her sincere, dedicated practice always inspires me. Practicing with her teaches me new things about myself, creates more space in my body, opens me up to new perspectives, and shifts things slightly to move me more in the direction of my heart.”
    — Letitia Walker
  • “Narin is a wonderful teacher who is so caring and supportive with her students. I have always enjoyed her quiet, nurturing manner and encouragement as I grow in ability. She has been a constant presence at All Life is Yoga for many years and I enjoy her classes immensely.”
    — Jim McPhail
  • “What I love about All Life is Yoga is the continuity of teaching method between all the instructors. Narin, in particular, is a wonderful instructor in every way; even her voice is soothing to me. She knows exactly what to say to help each student align their bodies properly and her guidance throughout a class is masterful. Thank you Narin and All Life is Yoga.”
    — Tracey Lane
  • “Rutu is an amazing listener and observer. She has a powerful ability to sense what her students need, while gently guiding them toward their goals. Her deep understanding of yoga as a life practice seems to inform her grasp of the postures, allowing her to explore and integrate creative ideas based on a student's needs. If you are looking for a true expression of all that is good about yoga, look no further than Rutu Chaudhari. Whether in group or private sessions, her depth and love shine through.”
    — Michael Valverde

Our upcoming Restorative Yoga Training includes the study and application of 5 principles from Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. For each of the Modules, students will explore the relevance of Ahimsa (nonviolence), Satya (truthfulness), Santosha (contentment), Svadhyaya (self-study) and Ishvara Pranidhana (surrender) in the context of asana practice as well as a life practice. Begins April 20th. Go to the website to learn more and apply! #alllifeisyoga #restorativeyoga
My advice to other women just starting on their journey is to seek that which makes you uncomfortable and walk towards your fear. Invest your time, resources and energy into cultivating your craft and being the best at what you do. Don’t settle for being good, be great! Find mentors and remove your filters so you can learn from people that have what you want and have been where you are. Check out the rest of @voyageatl interview with Rutu!

Morning yoga. Guys outnumbered the gals! Yoga for everybody! #threeminuteegg #gomukhasana
My favorite part of class is the opening meditation tied together with the closing meditation, everything in between being sacred. I love how the opening moves our awareness directly into our body and breath. And it is amazing to me how different my mind feels during the closing meditation after we’ve completed 60 minutes of asana. Love, Ashley (@youryogaroadie)

Big shout out to The Great Yoga Wall for donating one entire panel with accessories! Stay tuned for opportunities to experience the magic and healing of the yoga wall! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Before we installed the walls, I wanted the symbol of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo to bless the space. The murals are stunning! A hidden beauty lives in our walls. May these symbols of love, truth, and transformation inspire our city. I'm grateful for the talent that came together to paint and install the walls. Big thanks to Adrian Barzaga, Craig Cameron, Stephanie Clayton, John Henson, Helme Calfee and Keith Bushy.

Clare: Hello Rutu, I have an asana question: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In doing the preps for Shīrshāsana and Pincha Mayurāsana, I have this feeling like my elbows kind of roll out. Or rather I guess it's my forearms rolling out over my elbows a little bit, if that makes sense. Is there a small refinement there that needs to happen, or is this something I should try to keep from happening? Is this the reason why a belt would be placed around the lower biceps? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rutu: The elbows roll out because of a lack of flexibility in the shoulders. Do more Gomukhasana. It is important to have the elbows aligned as much as possible. This prevents the shoulder joint from being strained while bearing weight. The belt around the upper arms are used for the purpose of keeping the elbows from splaying and that can be done, but do not get dependent on that. You must still do the work of developing flexibility by doing shoulder openers. Pinchu Mayurasana prep and Shirshasana Prep are postures that require shoulder flexibility, so do the necessary warms ups to prep. Rutu @huntervali #movingtogether
We need to be still, and to create quiet time in our lives, if only for a brief moment. Restoratives offer us a unique opportunity to be supported in physical ways: the muscles learn to rest, the organic system becomes nourished and toned, the skin softens and the nervous system drops into parasympathetic mode,—the mode of healing. Restoratives also support us in energetic ways; they are truly a practice of surrender. Restoratives teach us to be more vulnerable, and to relinquish the hardness attempting to build a wall around our hearts.The intention is not to stretch muscles, but instead to relax them; as you train the muscles, mind, and emotions to let go, the nervous system releases tension, the mind is calmed, and the potential for change is opened.

Narin always needs at least 20 minutes to reflect and warm up before class. This usually means taking 5 minutes to meditate and then about 15-20 to do the morning series, hip series and at least one surya namaskar. Sometimes, where there is time before class, she takes time in a restorative so she can be a little more blissed out when she opens that front door to greet all of you! @winkingthirdeye
Something I have been needing and using regularly off the mat is deep thoughtful breathing. When faced with a difficult or stressful situation or when experiencing unsettling emotions I have found myself stopping and just breathing. I close my eyes, I breath slowly, in and out, I imagine feeling all the cells of my body with clean, white breath. After I feel calmer, stronger, and with a slightly different perspective that enables me to deal with whatever is going on around me more effectively. Michelle #alllifeisyoga #lightonlife
