Hello boat challengers!

Due to rain we will reschedule our FREE (earned) workshop until the next sunny Tuesday. Hopefully next Tuesday the 27th.

This is a family friendly workshop and Hudson will be around to entertain little ones on the playground at King and Shakespeare. Plenty of shade and sun there to practice in.

I am focusing on prop free routines that we can do anytime anyplace so we can take our practice with us into the real world!

Even if you didn’t master your 10 minute boats ALL registered students are welcome to!

Hope you can make it.

EVERYONE WELCOME
All classes are taught by Michelle and are designed to suit individual student needs. As a Yoga Therapist and seasoned Yoga practitioner Michelle has developed a system of Yoga she calls myYOGA; it is Yoga designed for you, to maintain your body and mind, regulate your hormones and emotions, focus your mind, detox your system and cultivate energy so that you can thrive. This system pulls from decades of practice, teaching and mentorship. These alignment based classes bring a mind body connection and understanding of movement that empowers students to continue to live their best lives doing what they love to do minimizing the potential for injury. As a skilled body reader and intuitive healer, Michelle is able to recommend specific homework routines to help eliminate repetitive strain injury, train optimal range of motion and create focus to help you reach your health goals. Expect individual attention, customized alignment, a strong focus on breath, meditation and results. Students are taught how to work hard where they are weak and learn to relax where they tend to over work to bring balance and connection improving all body functions. Students are invited at each class to make requests so Michelle can customize classes around specific needs. This myYOGA is for you regardless of your experience, Michelle has an incredible gift of structuring classes to challenge the most experienced practitioner while embracing the needs of new students. Michelle is able to truly help students reach their goals and pursue their potential in this non-drop in the ongoing educational and healing experience.

PROP SPOTLIGHT: The Bath Mat

This one is so versatile! Whether we are working with this long way along our spines or the short way tucked behind our knees... We love the bath mat, right?
Learning to find stability with it tucked under your spine and head and then going deeper and learning to find a balanced body WHILE maintaining that initial balance is tough!
Learning awareness of our front and back knees when using the bath mat behind our knees helps us learn to engage our knees healthily—ensuring better hiking, biking, and walking... FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT! (where we always end up!)

TOMORROW! This Saturday is our April workshop! If you are thinking about tomorrow morning and wondering what you might get up to before lunch... look no further! Come spend a few hours in the studio, or online and enjoy this Student Request Focused Workshop.

We still have room and would love to see you!

ONE WEEK FROM NOW! A workshop curated by you!

This will be a great workshop where students bring their requests to class and from there the workshop will go!

Three hours is a great amount of time to go beyond our usual class length and dig a little deeper into areas of the body, sticky spots (who doesn't love a good nerve flossing?), and advance our asana practice.

As always, this workshop is safe for all levels and everyone is welcome!
See you next Saturday—when we let your needs lead the way to relief, release, strength, and learning!

It is APRIL and so beautiful and also... pollen. It is everywhere! If you love to be outside walking, hiking, running, biking or in the garden, knowing a simple series for kicking your allergies in the behind is SO helpful!

If you practice with us, you know our classes are always seasonally focused... it's a game changer and this season is no exception. Finding relief and doing that for yourself is a gift that keeps on giving!

If you are curious about what yoga for allergies is, we still have some room in our weekly Monday 4:30 PM Breath + Basics Beginner Yoga class and always room online in any of our classes!

Or register for our April 13th 3 Hour Workshop (in studio or online) where students get to choose the focus areas and we can work on allergy relief.
