Studio Updates

All our classes remain on Zoom, probably for the summer. Live workshops and community events to be announced soon.

Luna's Wednesday 8:30a Therapeutic Stretch class has returned!

Spring Theme: Fire Practices

Fire (agni) is a metaphor for spiritual transformation, the force that transmutes the unknown into the known, obstacles into awakenings, the mundane into the sacred. Fire practices point towards the final destination of yoga - experiential knowledge of the Mystery.  No dogmatic lectures here - just possibilities to be tested with first-hand experience.

This theme comes last in our yearly curriculum, as it draws on the physical and mental stability of Earth and Moon practices, and the energetic expansion and sensitivity that comes from Sun practice.  Classes will include more opportunities for self-reflection and longer (5-10 minute) meditations.  

Learn more about our year-long syllabus here.

Grateful Yoga Is Virtual

Because our space can only hold a few students with social distancing measures, despite a move to Phase 4, we have decided to continue holding all classes online through the Zoom platform.  You can attend through your phone, tablet or laptop.  The procedure is fairly simple:

• Register for class as usual through our schedule page.  If you have trouble with our website, try the Mindbody website or the Mindbody phone app
• You will receive a confirmation email with a link to the Zoom meeting. SAVE THIS EMAIL
• Before class begins, find a quiet place in your home large enough to fit your mat with space to stretch out in all directions. A stack of books can serve as a block, beach towels and small blankets work for cushioning and couch cushions can be bolsters.  Maybe turn on Do Not Disturb mode on your phone?
• When you are ready, click the link you received in the reservation email to sign in for class.  Please try to "arrive" at least 5 minutes before class starts so the teacher knows who is there.

Class recordings now available

If you'd like to attend a class but cannot make it during the livestream, we can send you a link to view the recording, good for 7 days.  Register as normal, then email us to say you'd like to receive the recording.
