Cancelling Yoga on the Lawn’s last meeting

Dear Outdoor Yoga friends,
Due to the pop-up nature of the forecasted thundershowers today, and the relative dampness of the grounds, we will not meet on the lawn for yoga this morning.  Find a cozy spot in your home to move through a short practice.
We had a great run this summer!  Thank you all so very much for coming outside to enjoy our yoga practice together.  Each summer I am reminded of how lovely it is to experience yoga in nature.  When we get beyond the wood floors, walls, and ceiling, we rediscover Yoga’s ancient wisdom.  Feeling our feet root into the earth and encouraging our hearts to soar into the sky is invigorating!
Please keep in touch and keep practicing.  Email me if you and a group of friends would like to meet up for some more outdoor yoga during the lovely Autumn days.
The Fall schedule is in the works and will be posted soon at thecatholicyogi.com.
With gratitude and happy practicing,
The Catholic Yogi

Ashtanga-Based Power Yoga (Beginners Welcome)

Mondays, 7:30-8:30pm, No Limits Studio (A)
June 20, 27; July 18, 25; Aug. 8, 15
$55 for the Summer or $10 drop-in.

Ashtanga-Based Power Yoga is grounded in the traditional Ashtanga tradition.  This is a focused, 60-minute, short-form class designed to build strength and flexibility through vigorous movement and use of the ujjayi (victorious) breath. We will spend time working on individual poses, as well as cultivating the “flow,” linking movement to movement through the breath, which is one of the joys of vinyasa (moving and breathing at the same time on purpose). We will learn modifications that support us where we are weak and ones that challenge us where we are strong. This class is open to beginners, however, it is not recommended for those recovering from illness or injury. Please be prepared to work hard, as many of the sequences are physically demanding.

Morning Yoga

Good morning, Yoga Friends,

If you haven’t joined us for outdoor morning yoga yet this summer, you have two more opportunities:  today, as well as next Saturday (July 30th), 9:30am – 10:30am at the Mansfield Art Center on the Lawn.

Additionally, if you’re ready for a slightly earlier start, my friend and former student, Hatha yoga teacher Tiffany Gavula, will be offering a free class this morning (July 23rd) at Lexington Bicentennial Park at 9:00am.

Grab your mat and head on out!

Happy Practicing!
