Christy Marsden, the owner of Yoga Blend in Burbank, often cites Sutra 1.33 when reminding her students of one of the goals of yoga. It states, “If we can be pleased with others who are happier than ourselves, compassionate toward those who are unhappy, joyful with those doing praiseworthy things, and remain undisturbed by the errors of others, our mind will be very tranquil” (Desikachar).

I love that one of the great revelations of this ancient philosophy is to simply join happy people in celebration, to be near those who are doing what you want to do.

Indeed, Yoga Blend is in Burbank, but happily, they are giving me an excuse to review their beautiful studio because they are coming to Glendale for five dates in the month of May, offering free yoga classes on the lawn at The Americana. Yoga Blend is more than just a studio; Christy has created a welcoming community of kind teachers who delight in offering their extensive knowledge of yoga to newcomers and experienced yogis alike. And how lovely that they are partnering with lulemon athletica, a Canadian yoga apparel store whose shirts don’t roll above my belly during down-faced dog.

At Yoga Blend’s classes, you will find no intimidation, no competition or rivalry. Just simply yoga.

I encourage you to join the celebration at the Americana this month, to get to know the caring teachers of Yoga Blend.

But, if you’re still anxious about the prospect of turning upside-down in the midst of Glendale’s public center, you might turn to the subsequent Sutra 1.34, which states, “The practice of breathing exercises involving extended exhalation might be helpful” (Desikachar).

In other words, just breathe.
