The theme for our yoga class this week is the feet! Our feet perform so many tasks, and it’s very common for us to not give them a lot of attention, unless they are injured or in pain. Did you know that your feet can help hold the key to your overall health? Simply applying pressure to certain areas of your feet can send messages to specific organs of the body, that correlate with specific nerve endings in your feet.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the neural pathways that send these messages from those pressure points to the organs are called meridians, and when you apply pressure in these areas, such as foot massage, the signals are sent along these pathways that literally help to stimulate these organs to do their job properly!
In our practice this week, we will get into a couple of different ways to massage the bottoms of our feet, such as with the use of tennis balls, work on some foot stretches, and build some strength in our feet during our standing postures. Your feet will thank you for joining this class!
 Offerings for the remainder of the week are: Tuesday, January 13 from 10 to 11:15 AM at Manor Memorial Methodist Church in Newmarket, Thursday morning, January 15 from 6:15 to 7:15 AM at A New You Salon in Mount Jackson (or virtually via Zoom ), and I also have availability Wednesday, January 14 from 6 to 7 PM for a one on one yoga class, right in the comfort of your own home, or even virtually! Reach out to me for more information and questions, and you can also visit yogammonchild.com for more details as well! Hope to see you! 🧘🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️🕉️🦶

Greetings and happy holidays from Moon Child yoga! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday however you celebrate it, and I also hope that you are making the most out of these last couple days of 2025.
Starting in January, in addition to current offerings, Moon Child Yoga has some new ones to add to the schedule!
-Saturday, January 3 starts the opportunity for one on one yoga sessions. Each session will be an hour long, and will be held in a space that is determined by both myself and the student. (this could be at your home, or at a space that I am able to provide. ) We will start with a consultation on what your specific needs are for your yoga practice, and then I will “do my homework“ and come up with yoga sequences that are tailored to those needs. The cost for this will be $25 per session, and we will move forward with a schedule that suits both of our needs. This can also be for 2 to 3 people at a time as well.
-Saturday, January 17 I am going to start offering hot yoga sessions at the Shenandoah County Community Center in Mount Jackson! These classes will be from 4 to 5 PM on select dates throughout the cold weather months. Never practiced hot yoga before? It is exactly as it sounds. we will practice a gentle yoga seat sequence in a room that is heated to about 90°. This is a great way to warm up the muscles and help them get more limber for your practice! It’s also a great way to beat the winter cold. These dates are limited, so I highly recommend that you reserve your spot as soon as possible!
-and lastly I am offering two yoga workshops, one on Saturday February 21 from 3 to 430 PM at the Shenandoah County Community Center, and the other one will be March 14 from 1:30 to 3 PM at the Wellness and Activity Center in Woodstock that is operated by Shenandoah County Parks and Recreation. Each workshop will be the same content, which is “Introduction to Yin Yoga”. Yin is a slower cooler and more meditative style of yoga, that benefits, the joints, ligaments, and my facial tissue.
For more information on any or all of these offerings, visit my website at yogamoonchild.com
You can also get further information by visiting the Shenandoah County Community Center website at crewva.org
And the Wellness and Activity Center website at scpr.info
I’m so excited to be able to share these offerings with anyone who is interested in joining in 2026! Here’s to a happy and prosperous new year for all!
