Lots of new Manduka mats available! Stop by for class and check out the rainbow of options 🌈

Manduka Pro ($110) will last a lifetime. A lot of our teachers practice daily on a Pro. And after years (or decades) they show no sign of wear. (Well, the teacher might, but not the mat 🤣)

Pro-lite ($88) has a similar feel to the Pro but is thinner, lighter, and easier to carry.

Begin ($58) is a soft, cushioned, and reversible mat that’s great to start with.

X Mat ($58) is Manduka’s do it all mat with a comfy weave feel.

We also have travel mats, mat towels, and mat carriers!

Traditional Ashtanga is not practiced on the new or full moon and Yoga East does not hold Mysore classes on those days – making it a perfect time to take a break from your usual practice and invite in some nurturing, supportive practices!

But why doing Laura for a moon day practice?

1. Recognize the Cycles of Nature
Since these classes are only held on new or full moon mornings, it helps you connect to a rhythm defined by nature. Recognizing that rhythm helps us live in harmony with nature.

2. Supportive Energy
Each moon day class supports the energy of the day. On Full Moon days the class is meant to support and balance the amplified & external energy of a full moon. On days with a new moon, the class helps support the more muted and internal energy brought out by that moon phase.

3. Casual Introduction to Other Limbs of Yoga
Each moon day class includes some gentle yoga poses. But they’re also a great opportunity to practice pranayama breathing, meditation, and even chanting in a relaxes, no-pressure environment.

Look out for these special classes on mornings with full or new moons. They end up being about once every-other week.

Gentle poses, Reiki, & Yoga Nidra 💙 Join Deana Cavan, from Rett’s Roost and Michelle Verdi, from Yoga East, for a donation-based class for the grieving body. We welcome all levels, including beginners to yoga, and all grievers, not just bereaved parents. Yoga brings clarity to the often inaccurate and self-deprecating thoughts that surround our loss. It opens our hearts up for love and gratitude. And it can fill in the broken places.

In the first part of class we will incorporate readings, an offering to our loved ones, meditative exercises, and gentle body movement. In the second half, Michelle will offer reiki during a led Yoga Nidra meditation led by Deana.

This is a fundraising class supporting . If you lost a child, this class is free. If you’ve had another type of loss, please make a donation of at least $22 on the Rett’s Roost website. We will also accept cash, check, and Venmo at the yoga studio.
