Beyond the Poses: Exploring the Subtle Body in OUR Yoga Practice
Yoga is often associated with the physical postures and challenging sequences that test the limits of our strength, flexibility, and balance. While mastering these asanas can be undoubtedly rewarding, there's a deeper dimension to yoga that goes far beyond the physical shapes we make with our bodies —the exploration of the subtle body.
At Better Buzz Yoga, we believe in offering yoga classes that dive beyond the surface level of and uncover the intricacies of the subtle body. Here, at our studio in Denver, we strive to go beyond the poses, guiding our students on a journey of self-discovery and awareness, challenging them to explore the full spectrum of their yoga experience.
But what exactly is the subtle body, and why is it essential to incorporate into our practice, even amidst some of the more vigorous and rigorous postures?
The subtle body refers to the energetic counterpart of our physical form, encompassing channels - in Sanskrit called nadis - energy centers (chakras), and vital energy (prana). In yoga philosophy, the subtle body plays a pivotal role in our overall well-being, influencing not only our physical health but also our emotional, mental, and spiritual states.
Exploring the subtle body allows us to explore the root causes of our experiences on the mat—the fluctuations of the mind (vrittis), the obstacles (kleshas) that hinder our growth, and the inner wisdom that guides us towards liberation.
At Better Buzz Yoga, we seek to empower our students to navigate these subtle realms with curiosity and intention and encourage our students to ask questions as we journey together in learning and exploration.
Through mindful movement, breath awareness, and introspective practices like meditation and pranayama, we invite our students and practitioners to cultivate a deeper connection with themselves and their practice.
By incorporating themes like the kleshas—the obstacles that cloud our perception and hinder our progress—we encourage students to confront and maybe even transcend the limitations that arise both on and off the mat so that we can be better equipped to navigate life outside of the four walls of the studio.
Whether it's feelings of attachment (raga), the aversion to discomfort (dvesha), or the fluctuations of the mind (vikshepa), we provide a supportive environment for students to navigate these challenges with grace and resilience.
Ultimately, exploring the subtle body in our yoga practice enhances our overall experience, fostering a greater sense of self-awareness, balance, and inner harmony. Beyond the physical postures, it is through this exploration that we uncover the true essence of yoga—a transformative journey of self-discovery and self-realization.
So, whether you're flowing through vigorous vinyasas or sinking into restorative poses, remember to pause, breathe, and tune into the subtle whispers of your inner landscape.
At Better Buzz Yoga, we invite you to explore the depths of your practice and discover the magic that lies within.

The gentle heat helps to increase blood circulation, promoting faster healing of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from injuries or those looking to prevent them during their practice.
Moreover, infrared radiant heat has been shown to alleviate stress and manage pain effectively. The warmth induces a state of deep relaxation, calming the mind and soothing tense muscles. As practitioners flow through their yoga poses in this tranquil environment, they experience not only physical but also mental rejuvenation, making each session a holistic wellness journey.
But the benefits don't stop there. Regular practice in an infrared heated yoga studio like Better Buzz can also enhance flexibility, detoxify the body, improve skin health, and boost metabolism.

At Better Buzz Yoga in Denver, we understand the importance of restful sleep for optimal health, which is why we offer a variety of classes specifically designed to promote relaxation and support the nervous system.Scientific research has shown that practicing yoga, particularly Yin, Slow Flow, and Restorative classes, can have a profound impact on the nervous system and improve sleep quality. Here are some key points supported by research:

2. **Slow Flow Yoga**: Slow flow classes focus on gentle, mindful movement coordinated with breath. A study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that slow flow yoga can decrease levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, and enhance parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) activity, supporting deep relaxation and better sleep.
3. **Restorative Yoga**: Restorative yoga uses props to support the body in passive poses, allowing for deep relaxation and restoration. Research in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research has demonstrated that restorative yoga can lower heart rate and blood pressure, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep patterns.

Flexibility Not Required: EMBRACING THE SNAPS, CRACKLES AND POPS at Better Buzz Yoga in Sunnyside
The thought of trying yoga can be intimidating, especially if you believe you need to be as flexible as a pretzel to participate. But here's the truth: flexibility is not a prerequisite for yoga, and at Better Buzz Yoga in North Denver's vibrant Sunnyside neighborhood, we welcome practitioners of all shapes, sizes, and abilities with open arms.
It's time to debunk the myth that yoga is only for the bendy and lithe. In reality, yoga is a practice that meets you where you are, regardless of your current level of flexibility (or any ability!).

In fact, if you're not naturally flexible, that's all the more reason to give yoga a try. Many people will never be able to touch their toes due to factors like personal body geometry, and that's part of what makes yoga so beautiful - it’s not supposed to look, or be like anything.
What we want to focus on in our classes at Better Buzz is how yoga feels. Yoga isn't about contorting your body into impossible shapes; it's about cultivating a sense of well-being, a sense of community, a sense of belonging and sure…we’d also like it if you gained some of the physical benefits of strength, balance, and mindfulness, too but all of that will come in due time.
At Better Buzz Yoga, we believe in making yoga accessible to everyone. Our experienced teachers offer support and guidance to suit every body, ensuring that each student can practice safely and comfortably. Whether you're brand new to yoga or a seasoned student, you'll find a supportive yoga studio, class and community and a welcoming space to explore your practice at Better Buzz.
