New Tuesday evening Slow Flow Yoga class with Kate Pousont Scarborough begins this week!
Slow Flow Yoga combines gently paced, standing posture flow with balance work, joint movements, seated postures, and moments of stillness for a rejuvenating and calming yoga experience.
With a focus on breath and body awareness and plenty of opportunities to do more or less as your body guides you, this all-levels practice is a great way to integrate and reflect at day’s end.
Soma Soothe: Fascial Release, a new class with Beth Paulson, begins tomorrow! This class meets every Thursday morning, 8:30-9:30am
Soma Soothe is a gentle, slow-paced and deep practice designed to release tension and restore ease in the fascial system—the interconnected connective tissue that links and supports every part of you. With a blend of fascial release techniques and somatic healing practices, you’ll learn to unlock stuck patterns and cultivate greater freedom of movement.
Jill is a locally trained yoga teacher who received her certification in 2016 and brings a calm and supportive presence to her classes. She enjoys guiding slow flow and mindfulness-based practices that help us reconnect with our breath, body, and inner awareness. After stepping away from teaching to focus on her PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, Jill is excited to return to teaching and reconnect with the yoga community. She is passionate about mindfulness and believes in bridging awareness from the mat into everyday life. Her classes offer a welcoming space, whether you’re an experienced practitioner, a beginner, or easing back into your practice.

New dance class with Felice Wolfzahn begins Monday June 23!
Back in Motion: Contemporary Dance-
Would you like to take a dance class or get back into moving! These all-levels classes will focus on the enjoyment of moving and being in our bodies through a variety of approaches.
Warm ups will use developmental movement patters that emphasize body awareness, use of breath and release of excess tension. Classes will build using basic movement patterns, learning short movement phrases and guided improvisations. We will explore luscious moving across the floor and end with a gentle warm down. Classes help us build strength, flexibility coordination, musicality and spatial awareness through a gentle, somatic, and fun approach.

The practice of Yoga is both ancient and broad.

Our aim is to provide a nurturing and challenging environment in which you will learn the skills for discovering and sustaining long-term health and vitality at whatever depth and level of practice is suitable for you. Listed below are just a few of the practices you will have an opportunity to explore as a member of our unique yoga community:
Safe and Efficient Movement Patterns- Learn to identify how muscles are in use in a given posture, how the spine, pelvis, and limbs relate to one another, and where to initiate motion and effort for safe and effective movement.
Non-Judging Awareness- Practice suspending judgment while anchoring attention to the present moment, cultivating a more meaningful and realistic relationship with your body and your surroundings
Stability and Mobility- Find a functional and dynamic balance between strength and flexibility, allowing for optimal range of motion while avoiding the potential dangers of excessive mobility.
Balance- Promote balance in thought, in motion, in breath, and in the systems of the body to create a strong foundation from which to choose your next course of action both on and off the mat.
We look forward to welcoming you to Shelburne Falls Yoga!
