What’s Happening in January 2018 to get You (back?) on your Mat
~ The divine in me salutes the divine in you ~
Every New Year, we are often motivated to detox, kick start, and get moving. I encourage each of you to consider adding yoga into whatever regimen you currently have set for yourself. It may be that yoga is a new challenge for you, you’re trying to add power to your practice, or you’re attempting to slow your practice down. Whatever your motivation, January is always a great time to turn over a new leaf and discover that new you is just another layer of the you you’ve actually always been.
I am offering many opportunities to join me on the mat this month, please click on any of the experiences below to learn more. I can’t wait to practice with you!

This class is held around the pool deck and the temperature in the room is @88-90 degrees. The idea is to use the heat to open tight muscles we tend to repetitively use when we run. However, this class is appropriate for anyone looking to stretch and relax their muscles. This class will take place at the Essex PT Meadows location next to CVS. Enter through the side pool door (around the back) of the Essex PT Building. Don’t forget to bring along a bottle of water and hand towel!
