A Tribute to Sasha, Cambio Yoga Pup

Sasha, the Cambio Yoga pup, passed away on August 30 after giving our community ten years of smiles, comfort, and hard-to-read signals (Does she actually want to be pet?). In her honor, all proceeds from our Yoga in the Park this Sunday, 9/19/21, 9-10 am, will go to One Dog at a Time.  Sasha was not from this rescue, but she was a rescue dog, and we feel that it’s a beautiful way to remember her! If you are unable to attend, but would like to donate in Sasha's name, you can do so here.

 

If you’re inclined to read more about her and how our animal friends provide us an opportunity to deepen our yoga through the practice of unconditional love, here are some words from Amber, Sasha’s (and Cambio’s) mom.

The stress-bust and brain-boost we all need: Yoga Nidra by Camille Liptak

In this week's installment of the Yoga Living Project, Camille Liptak from UCCS Student Newspaper, The Scribe, interviews our own Cambio Co-Founder Austin Richman on the practice of Yoga Nidra.

Yoga Nidra is a powerful guided meditation that is mentally, physically, and emotionally relaxing and healing. It can rewire the nervous system in a positive way and plant seeds for personal growth. If this sounds like just what you need this month, join Cheryl for Midday Yoga Nidra on Friday January 12 (live-stream or in-person)!
