The Embody School

Coming this month!! A 90 minute experience designed to realign the mind, body, and soul. Usher in the changing of seasons with Loula as she guides you through a sequence of postures, breath work, meditation, and sound healing.

Our mission to get lobster rolls at the beach was a success!! What a wonderful way to celebrate one of the best New England summers on record. Hazel brought her new puppy, Luca, who got to see the ocean for the first time at only 10 weeks old. He had a mouth full of sand after tasting everything he could find, which seemed suitable for a land shark. 😂
Next weekend is the Greek Festival in Somerville. And after that, we’ll be going roller skating at the outdoor rink in East Cambridge. Reach out if you want to join us on one of our field trips! Bringing ppl together is my jam! Making new friends is so hard these days. Join us if you want to meet some truly excellent peeps. ❤️🥰🙏🏼

Just a little plug for another local business, Tenoch Mexican. This lovely little dish is carnitas enchiladas with an INCREDIBLE mole sauce. You have to try it! It was heavenly. For realz.

K hasn’t practiced yoga in 6 years and is just coming back to her practice now. Today I invited her to try crow pose again. And voila! The body always remembers. ❤️❤️

It’s national dog day!! Leela, my current pup, is in the first pic. Missy, my first, is in the 2nd. I love all dogs and still dog sit whenever I can but my heart is with greyhounds. Forever and always. They are the sweetest, goofiest couch potatoes who want nothing but peace, snuggles, and snacks.

What is a New England summer without a proper lobster roll? I went to Kelly’s yesterday at Revere beach and it was so good that yogis Hazel, Diana, and I decided to get together next Saturday to do the same. Let me know if you’d like to join us!! Just a small gathering where we can sit together, chat, and enjoy lobster rolls at the beach. 🏖️

Rest doesn’t just mean laying down or sleeping. There are actually 7 types of rest, and it’s important to respect them and listen to your body when you need one or more of them. Yoga and embodiment practices are one of the many ways to let yourself rest, along with turning off your phone, spending time alone, taking a break from socializing, and more!

Sorry friends! I thought the rain would stop but since it’s off and on, it’s better to cancel than to keep hoping for dry weather. 🙏🏼

REMINDER! This Sunday, The Embody School is partnering with the City of Cambridge to offer FREE embodied flow yoga in the park. This class is suitable for all levels and will be at Dana Park at 4pm. Details above, on our website (embodyschool.com), or at cambridgema.gov/plays. See you Sunday! ☀️

THIS is why we do it ❤️

REMINDER! In collaboration with the City of Cambridge, we’re helping host 3 FREE yoga classes this week at various public parks throughout the city! Come practice with us Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday 🧘

In collaboration with the City of Cambridge, The Embody School is very happy to announce some free classes this August! Bring a mat, sunscreen, and water. These classes are for everyone, regardless of your skill level, body type, or flexibility! Do make note of where each session takes place, as each date’s location is a different public park within Cambridge.

We had a field trip today! We went as a group to the Lowell Folk festival and I got to show my students where I grew up and how proud I am of the diverse immigrant city I was raised in. We tried Cameroonian and Liberian foods for the first time. We also enjoyed Greek food (natch) and some pastelitos at the end of our day. We also enjoyed music from Cape Verde, an amazing gospel group, some funk, Americana, and an Iraqi Jewish ensemble. It was a perfect day with wonderful company. 🙏🏼 This is how we build community.

Need access to an affordable yoga class? Come and practice on Saturday mornings with Dierdre for only $8! All levels are welcomed. Class is from 11:00am -12:00pm. 50% of the proceeds go to charity. *You can’t use a class pack or membership for this class in order to keep spaces available for those in need. See you in the mat!

Got away from the never ending admin work for some fun with my girl Tiffany . Tried bouldering for the first time. It was very challenging to use my muscles in ways I normally don’t because I’m always protecting my right shoulder.
Yoga taught me how to use my shoulder in more stable ways and today I’m not experiencing any discomfort or inflammation. My neck feels fine, too! So yes, definitely going back to try again and looking forward to more upper body strength. 🤗
Check out because she’s truly an amazing artist and all around lovely human. ❤️

We have 2 very exciting classes this Saturday, July 20th — Baby and Me Yoga & Family Yoga! Register on our website, embodyschool.com. Details below ⬇️
👶 Baby and Me Yoga — Focus on regaining body awareness after all the physical changes of pregnancy and birth. Reconnect to your core. Learn how to move with your baby and gain some infant massage skills, too! This class is for moms who are at least 4 weeks postpartum after a vaginal birth and 6 weeks postpartum after a cesarean birth with your doctor’s okay. Your baby should be in the pre-crawling stage.
👨‍👩‍👦 Family Yoga — This is a yoga class for the whole family! Age 4+. Connect with your children through yoga, postures, breath awareness, and relaxation. Learn fun, partner poses to do with your child as well as simple exercises to help you and your child regulate your emotions.

Something about Child’s pose feels like coming home.

So many different body types and so many different abilities require many different options for each pose. Our job is to bring the pose to you, not the other way around. 🙏🏼

It’s hot 🥴 But we have AC! The perfect way to practice and exercise safely during the heat advisory. Stay cool and remember to drink a lot of water!!

We’ve been officially, fully open for over 2 months and updated our star board! Congrats to our yoga stars on 25+ classes. Their persistence is so admirable and we’re grateful for the positive energy they bring every class! ⭐️✨

Welcoming the new month! July is also Disability Pride Month, which is a cause that is close to us at The Embody School. One of our talented instructors, Tonya, has extensive experience working with disabled children and families. She is available for single sessions and private groups in addition to her regular teaching schedule. If you or your family are interested in possible public group classes, reach out to us. If we get enough requests, we can put something on the schedule! Happy July ☀️

What exactly is mindfulness? And how do we practice it? Mindfulness has become a buzzword lately which simply means the ability to be present, in the moment, which is harder than it sounds! In this workshop, we’ll explore a few easy ways to bring a mindfulness practice into your life so you can access the benefits and watch yourself transform over time.

We are so lucky to have created a wonderful space with such an incredible community. Tell your friends, family, and neighbors! We’re open for wellness practices 7 days a week — you can check the schedule on our website, embodyschool.com 💗

Are you ready for Kundalini Yoga? We’d love to start this class but we need your support so I’m sending out feelers. What are your thoughts? Noelia is a highly trained teacher who is also a PA and she really knows her stuff! You’ll be in great hands. 🙏🏼

Yes, some of you need incentive and accountability to practice throughout the summer. Here it is. You’re welcome. ☺️🤘🏼
