“I’m fine.” It was my go-to line for years, even when I was anything but. This Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m (Lisa) sharing the story I used to be ashamed to tell: what it looked like to keep up the appearance of success while quietly unraveling inside. Anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder…they didn’t break me, but they did force me to rebuild.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to smile through the storm, this is for you. You’re not broken. You’re not alone. You. Belong. Here. 💙

At Yoga Pod Tucson, we believe in the power of mindful movement, community, and empowering individuals to feel safe and strong in their bodies. Our Tucson yoga studio offers a unique combination of barre and yoga, creating the ideal synergy for a balanced, strong, and mindful practice. While yoga provides incredible benefits for mobility, breath awareness, proprioception, and inner connection, incorporating a barre-based group fitness class into your routine can elevate and perfectly complement your yoga practice. Barre not only improves strength and stability but also nurtures the body in ways that deeply integrate yoga’s expansive movements.

Ever feel physically drained and mentally wired? Yoga Nidra might be exactly what you need! This guided meditation helps your body relax deeply while keeping your mind aware and present. It's the perfect way to reset and recharge in the busy-ness of life. 🌙
