Try something new this summer~YogaBody Trapeze!
Tuesdays 6pm and Saturdays 10am with Chelsea. What people are saying: No matter age or fitness level, a trapeze yoga class stretches and challenges you in many ways. Yes it is a workout combined with yoga elements, deeper stretches and incorporates different poses beyond a regular yoga class. Guess what? I’m afraid of heights and haven’t hung upside down since I was 12? (56 now) It is amazing what you can do when you try – still nervous about heights- but I can hang upside down! Body seems realigned even! When one expands their experiences you grow as a person and open yourself to other possibilities. ~ Wendy G I had never seen a trapeze class before so I had no idea what to ...
Phew!
We did it! We made it through our first week being open with COVID-19 protocols. There was some uncertainty. We practiced indoors and out, as weather permitted. We reconfigured the studio a few times to determine the best way to teach live and remote students. It was good to be together. Thank you for your patience as we move through this uncharted territory. I wanted to share a few happenings this month. Our Meditation Circle. Friday, June 12 at 6pm. Join Kim either at the studio or remotely for a meditation designed to soothe your soul and share compassion with your community. $20 Root Chakra Workshop. Friday, June 19. 6-8pm. Through meditation, group discussion and journaling, you will find and access your body’s inner wisdom. ...
It’s Happening!
Hi, everyone!We are planning to re-open on June 1! It is exciting! It is scary. I can’t wait to see your face!I want everyone to be safe and well. <3 So, there are some things you need to know. Firstly, protocols have been put in place to comply with the guidelines set forth by the Governor’s Economic Reopening Taskforce. Please read through these CDC universal guidelines before attending an in-person class. I understand that each of us has a different assessment of the risk involved for them, students and instructors alike, and wish to honor that. As a result, classes will be held in a variety of formats. Some will continue to be online only. Some will meet in person with an option of attending remotely, and some will be ...
I miss you.
I was just sitting with a cup of tea listening to a training for yoga businesses. There were a series of questions inquiring as to what I am passionate about, what makes me unique, what feels authentic to me, when am I the happiest in my business and what type of client have I loved working with in the past. I turned off the video and started writing this. Yes, this. To you. I miss you. If you are reading this and I have seen you via zoom this week, feel free to delete (or keep reading if you are a curious one…lol xo). If I haven’t seen you, can we talk about why? Before we do, I want ...
Pondering…
I am finding myself rather blue today which is in direct opposition to the magnificent day we are being met with. I am contemplating the weight of what it means to be a good leader. I read once that “a good leader knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.” As I reflect on this, I feel the need to reach out. I am so proud of how quickly we were able to pivot to online classes (really more to Ron’s credit than mine if we’re being honest). The studio experienced no loss of daily yoga offerings! I am so grateful for my instructors, who learned along side me (while social distancing!) how to offer our students the ...
Checking In.
We have been doing online classes for a few weeks now. I wanted to take a moment and see how we are doing. Some classes have been well attended and others not so much. The instructors leave their homes to come to the studio to lead classes. I want this effort to be of value to both you and them. I have created a survey to determine how we can best meet your needs and enhance your experience. Please take a minute and fill out for me. I appreciate your time and value your opinion.

Stay at Home
Yesterday, the Governor issued a “stay at home” order and closed all nonessential businesses and extended remote learning until May 4. I may have cried. I didn’t know I had any attachments to how long we would continue in this way. In the back of my head, I was thinking through April, so why the tears? I have been pondering this all evening into this morning. I think I am lonely. I am accustomed to entertaining often, having lunch with girlfriends, dates with my husband, 5 yoga classes a week with my students. I miss the closeness, the camaraderie, the community. How do we reclaim it? Over the weekend, I hosted and attending a Trauma Aware Yoga Training and was ...
Happy Spring!
Last night, at 11:50pm, we experienced the vernal equinox; the end of winter. It marks the return of light and longer days. A new beginning. A time to clean out stagnant energy within ourselves and our home. It is also a new beginning of sorts at the studio as we navigate our classes virtually. I am pleased to say it is going well. I want to assure you that we are here to support you! We have made it as simple as we can to “attend” classes. You just click on the class title in the online schedule. You can purchase your monthly passes on this same page. If you are attending Yoga by Donation, you have the choice to use ...
Coronavirus and stuff….
So yesterday, I made the decision to suspend live classes at the studio. This isn’t going to be a coronavirus post because I am tired of discussing it and thinking about it and worrying about it. This post is a love letter of sorts. Yesterday, we had 3 students in the 9am class and 2 in the 6pm class. Even though I hadn’t made the call, my students were making best choices for themselves by staying away and I applaud that. Last night, I realized that I didn’t have an opportunity to say “see you later”. I didn’t get to tell my students how much I enjoy them. How important they are to me. How grateful I am for them. ...
