Center Street Yoga Collective

12/02/2025

Jan 2026 the doors open on a new yoga studio in St. Albans.
Center Street Yoga Collective! I have joined up with a great friend, collaborator and yoga teacher, Nicole LoPresti, to bring some long-time dreams to fruition. We are very excited to be creating this studio for the community. There will be yoga every day, sometimes 3 times a day!

Also joining us will be Jessica Frost, a beloved yoga teacher in the area who will be doing a kid's class, Yoga Nidra, and a Flow & Let go class. Nicole has her own self-styled B***y Camp that includes fitness! As well as her incredible yoga classes, I can't wait to attend again myself. I'll be in the studio all week teaching and diving further into these practices I so love exploring. I can't wait to experiment with classes that really expand, ground, center, restore and enliven.

We have lots of plans for other events, like ecstatic dancing, book conversations, movie showings, poetry cafes, open mic, teatime & conversation groups and exciting workshops to include guest teachers.

There is a lot of energy around this project, and we are excited to invite everyone in. We truly appreciate you and look forward to engaging. You'll be hearing more from us in the coming weeks. We are working on a logo, equipment, schedules, web-site, and a ton of things to bring it to life. Ultimately, we are excited to let the great wonder of our minds, bodies and breath take a deeper dive. We are honored and excited to share in these practices with many others we have practiced with already, and many new friends to meet. Stay tuned!!

Does anyone know the community spaces in Saint Albans that can be used? I have a few in mind, but wondering what is out there.

Hello! For anyone still here with me, I have moved back to St. Albans and I am re-opening my private practice here to see individuals and also create groups in the community.

It was an unexpected twist of fate but it feels really just as it should be. For the last 3 years I have been living in Burlington working with kids and adults in community mental health. I also got to explore many passion projects with many amazing humans. I helped in opening an art collective, worked with a mutual aid group, started doing performance art and holding art shows. It has been an incredible time, also very stressful given the state of things and the effort it takes to survive and thrive.

There was a weekly yoga class created to just show up, be together and do your own practice without much instruction. It flowed together so freely and beautifully. Allowing for conversation, break downs and explosions of enjoyment.

Almost everyone there was also part of the same mutual aid group deepening connections and work together.

Based on that class, I was just invited to participate in the MAD pride march on 7/12 @ Battery Park to create a space for meditation and yoga. Come on thru if you can.

Also, I have been experimenting with human interactions and creating groups to explore who we are together doing exercises to go deep and connected. It has been challenging and educational to discover just how much resistance we all have and how much willingness to work together anyhow because we know it’s important.

We are working on some street theater ideas too and other ways to keep the arts and human expression alive and well. The amount of talent in everyone is incredible. I have learned a lot about myself and others through the trials and tribulations of relationships and effort.

So here I am, in St. Albans, and creating a practice to teach meditation and yoga privately again. The waiting lists for doctors and therapists continue to grow and this work is valuable. I have also started yoga therapy school and am continuing my work to help people explore and expand who they are and finding the needed relief and focused attention forward. We are amazing aren't we? The work being done together despite the challenges? It is a lot to keep momentum going.

I love this work with people and have started seeing clients already. It has been really impactful and deepening in all the good ways. A web-site with more information and scheduling will follow in the coming weeks.

Also, if you have a group that would like to add some mindfulness and good feeling expansion, please reach out. I am beginning to reach out to schools and organizations, like hospitals, recovery centers, and support groups. Especially if you are a teacher or know people that work in schools that want some mindfulness for kids in the coming school year, that is a focus.

These times certainly are asking for something new and to me a good way to get there is by breathing, expanding and moving forward from where we find ourselves.

My best to you all and all of us.

Hello out there! Yoga & meditation every Saturday . It’s an attempt to encourage our inner workings towards deepened awareness and radical states of consciousness. That’s the goal anyway.

Hello! My yoga teacher, Will Duprey, has written a book. It is a lovely dive into ancient Indian texts he has studied in depth and has created a poetic teaching of his own from it. Inside are amazing illustrations of his favorite asanas you can do that build very gracefully onto one another. It is a great practice and a sweet read that takes you into the beauty and freedom of yogic philosophy.

Hello! Come see some art & performances Friday night in Burlington. I have some paintings hanging.

Saturday class in Burlington is at 10am. 19 Church Street.

This Saturday a good friend, Nicole LoPresti, is joining me with her amazing tuning forks! She is a trained Biofield Tuning sound therapist.

Class is a free-flowing experimental yoga and meditation class. By that I mean people are easy going, we chat during class. The beginning is guidance to help get into meditative states. A few deep stretches and asanas are offered, but for much of it we are practicing together in a space with what naturally comes or inspires us with support and hands on assistance. If you are a great yogi show us your stuff. If you are just learning, we'll start with the breath. If you need more you'll get it. It's a conscious class. It's a good yoga and meditation hang out space. And now Nicole is joining in to offer up some magic energy elixir.
Tune in - tune out - recover - restabilize your energy. Enjoy Saturday with a group of people.
Nicole's tuning is far out fun.
