Spring Clothing Swap

Saturday, May 2nd | 1:00–3:00PM
Hosted by Aliena
Free Event | Please register in advance

Refresh your wardrobe, connect with community, and give back—this is conscious “shopping” at its best. Join us at True Love Yoga for a relaxed and welcoming Spring Clothing Swap, where you can clear out your closet and leave with new-to-you, gently loved pieces.

This event is rooted in the yogic principles of aparigraha (non-attachment) and seva (selfless service)—an opportunity to release what no longer serves you, reduce waste, and support others in the process. By choosing to swap instead of shop new, you’re making a small but meaningful impact on the planet.

At the end of the event, all unclaimed items will be donated to Amethyst Place, a Kansas City organization that supports women and children on their journey from crisis to stability through housing, healing, and supportive services. Your contributions help extend care beyond our studio walls and into the wider community.

How it works:

• Bring gently loved, clean clothing with you on the day of the event (no drop-offs ahead of time)
• Upon arrival, check in and place your items in the designated areas
• Browse, try on, and take home pieces that feel like a fit—no limits, just mindfulness
• Stay, connect, and enjoy a casual, community-centered atmosphere

This is a come-as-you-are gathering—no pressure, no perfection. Just a chance to share, connect, and practice mindful consumption together.

✨ Please register in advance so we can plan accordingly
🌿 All are welcome
💛 Come to give, receive, and be in community

Līlā: Open & Receive

Sunday, May 3 · 12:30–2:00 PM

True Love Yoga

This month’s Līlā practice centers on Anahata, the Heart Chakra—the space of connection, compassion, and integration. As we move into late spring, we’re invited to soften, expand, and open to both giving and receiving.

Through a steady, breath-led vinyasa practice, we’ll explore heart-opening shapes, shoulder and hip integration, and the balance between strength and surrender. Our peak postures, Supta Baddha Konasana and Supta Virasana, offer an opportunity to gently open the front body while cultivating steadiness, awareness, and trust.

This is an intermediate-level practice, with thoughtful progressions and options offered throughout to support both depth and accessibility.

This practice includes:

• Breath-led movement to open the chest, shoulders, and hips

• Subtle backbending and supported heart-opening postures

• Pranayama, mantra, and guided journaling

• A closing meditation to anchor into presence and compassion

Come as you are, and allow yourself to soften into what is here. This is a space to listen, to feel, and to reconnect—with yourself and with others.

Bring a journal and anything that helps you feel supported

Sunday, June 7 · 12:30–2:00 PM

True Love Yoga

This month’s Līlā practice centers on Vishuddha, the Throat Chakra—the space of truth, expression, and authentic voice. As we move into early summer, we’re invited to open not just the body, but the channels through which we speak, share, and connect.

Through a dynamic, breath-led vinyasa practice, we’ll explore the relationship between heart opening and self-expression—how what we feel and what we say are deeply connected. Our peak posture, Urdhva Dhanurasana (Wheel Pose), offers a powerful opportunity to expand the front body, energize the nervous system, and access both courage and vulnerability.

This is an intermediate-level practice, with thoughtful progressions and options offered throughout to support both depth and accessibility.

This practice includes:

• Shoulder, chest, and spine preparation for deeper backbending

• Breathwork to support openness and steady energy

• Exploration of voice, sound, or subtle mantra

• Guided journaling and a closing meditation to integrate

Come ready to open, to listen, and to express—on your mat and beyond.

Bring a journal and anything that helps you feel supported
