Ever feel like your mid-back is constantly "stuck" and your shoulders are creeping up toward your ears?

Tomorrow's yoga class is all about:
✨ Freeing up that locked mid-back
✨ Melting away shoulder tension (goodbye, permanent shoulder earrings!)
✨ Smart core work that gives your back the support it's been begging for

You'll leave feeling like you can actually breathe deeply again and move without that constant background tension.
All levels welcome!

🧘‍♀️ In-person yoga this Friday — and yes, you’ll be totally fine even if it’s been a while.

I’m teaching a new class this week at Grounded Yoga in Mendon, and I’d love to see you there:
📅 Eclectic Hatha Yoga
🕘 Friday, June 13 at 9am (75-minute class)
📍 Grounded Studio, Mendon VT
💲 $20 | $18 for seniors & students

This class blends traditional hatha yoga with movement science — you’ll learn how and why your body moves, with plenty of guidance and modifications along the way.

👉 If you haven’t practiced in a while (or ever), don’t worry. We’ll start from the ground up, move mindfully, and build strength and confidence together.

Have questions? Drop them below or message me.
✨ Sign-up link is in the comments!
Hope to see you Friday,
Darci

Want to help your yoga students find more freedom in their hips? 🧘‍♀️
This wall-supported clamshell is a game-changer for hip mobility! Unlike traditional stretching (which can actually make tight hips feel tighter), this exercise uses strategic alignment to create real mobility.
Give it a try in your next class - your students will feel the difference immediately!
