Spring Equinox: A practice of reemergence, unfurling and expansion
With Brenda Reyna
On March 20th, we celebrate the Spring Equinox—a sacred moment of equilibrium where light and dark exist in perfect harmony, a time of fertility, renewal, and the boundless potential of new beginnings. I hope this winter offered you a time to plant your seeds of intention, holding them close as you tune inward but now the land stirs from its wintry rest, and life begins to bloom once more. As the energy begins to rise and the wheel of the year turns, the Spring Equinox ushers in a time of expansion. We give full power to our intentions. We clear the last stagnant and cold energy in order to begin to reemerge, stepping out of the darkness into the light… unfurling completely. As we stand at the threshold of spring, we are invited to embrace change, shed what no longer serves us, and realign with our highest path. Say yes to all that you will allow you to break open and let your heart fully bloom..
Let’s step into the hopefulness of the season on our mats & in community. This practice will be all about Anahata Chakra, tending our heart fire and connecting to the pulse of life… the heart.

Brenda found her way to the mat through breath in the early 2000s. She started noticing the important role breath played in her everyday life and how movement could enhance breath. She took her 200 hour yoga teacher training in El Paso, TX through her home studio Casa de Yoga in 2017 in order to deepen her own practice and understanding. She made yoga a big part of her personal life and also her professional life. She fell in love with teaching and has managed three yoga studios including Yoga Mandali. While she began the physical practice with Ashtanga she has shifted to inviting more fluidity into her practice and into her classes. She creates a space where students can breathe deeply, expand, go slow and steady all in order to create SPACE. Space in their minds, bodies and hearts. While her classes are sprinkled with strengthening aspects she provides hands-on assists, laughs, music, poetry and savasana assists to make it all worthwhile.
Brenda currently lives in Saratoga Springs with her honey boo Patrick and their Aussie-mix Alamo. Both Brenda and Patrick are "movement specialists/enthusiasts" working through Yoga Mandali and Ecotone Performance Health & Fitness to help people feel good when moving. Brenda loves hiking, reading, biking, and sipping tea with friends. You can find her on Monday nights and Saturday mornings at Yoga Mandali and at Ecotone throughout the week for Reiki + Recovery sessions.
