Main Street Yoga

Where do you go to find a deep place of silence? Your room? Your garden? Your bathtub? For over two decades, people have been finding that deep place of silence in the practice room at MSY. The other night I practiced there by myself for the first time in a long time. Just me. No talking. No guiding others. Just the mat and me. And the light. And the sounds from outside. I ended my practice saying out loud: "This is, truly, a wonderful space." If you've never experienced it, put it on your list. I hope to see you tonight for a thoughtful, gentle, quiet practice.

Come and do some yoga. It's good for you, and I love seeing you. Classes are sporadic in the summer because everyone is on the move, including me! There will be Power and Gentle classes this week, but I'll be away next week. Tonight we'll move and groove!

Ever notice how hot weather can jangle your nerves and make you snappy? Yeah. Me, too. Give yourself a time-out. One hour of stretchy yoga in a cool, quiet room can do wonders. It really can.

The HVAC is fixed!! Hooray! The studio is quiet and incredibly cool. Ahhh... Escape the humidity and join me for a Power Flow class tonight in the serene, cool magic of the studio. Alternatively, you can also zoom in from home. Either way, it's gonna be sweet!

Do nothing today. Let everything go, especially your to-do list. Would that be easy? Doing nothing is hard. Try sitting in a waiting room without your phone. Try just staring into space. One of the lessons of yoga is learning to be okay with doing nothing. More than okay, actually. Happy. Grateful, even. It's when we relax into nothingness that we find our true selves. It takes practice to develop this skill, though. Come and practice doing nothing tonight at 5:30

Yoga tonight! Yay! If you're in town and want to do some intentional inhaling and exhaling, come to the studio or join online. Yoga classes are spotty in the summer, but there's a class tonight and tomorrow night too! Come and practice! Let's scrape the barnacles off our chaturangas, heh.

Hi, my daughter is visiting from Portland, Oregon, and will be attending Gentle Yoga tonight. If you plan to attend class, I hope you can stay a little after and meet her! Even if you aren't planning on coming to class, we'll be hanging out and talking in the lounge after class, so feel free to join us! 6:45-7-ish.

My daughter is in town! I want to spend time with her today! See you tomorrow for Gentle Yoga! I hope to see you then!

Nobody HAS to go to yoga. That's what I love about it. When I taught school, my students HAD to be there because of compulsory education laws. Most of them did NOT want to be there. And teaching a bunch of kids who didn't want to be there was miserable for me. But nobody makes you do yoga. You go because you WANT to go. You go because it makes you feel better. Everybody doing yoga around you is there because they want to be there, are happy to be there, are even grateful to be there--even when they can "do it." A yoga studio is an awesome environment! It's a happy, peaceful environment. I love going to yoga! It's a vibe, man.
