More yoga, more options, more tools for navigating 2012. See you on the mat.

Happy to say I’ll be teaching a little vinyasa at Treetop Yoga in Gloucester starting this Friday at 9 AM.  This is a 90 minute class designed to finish your week/start your weekend on the right note: steady and free, baby.  Come and see Rebecca and Katy’s beautiful new space at 7 Parker Street in Gloucester.  See you on the mat.

As promised lo these months ago, we finally have a guerilla yoga class.  My former teacher Greg Gurmucio is in the forefront of this movement — real yoga practice available and affordable to all  – with his raging success Yoga to the People®.  As an alternative to expensive drop in rates (it costs $24 to drop into a class in NYC; $22 in Boston; $15-16 on the North Shore), Greg has offered a yoga lifeline in this time of recession to folks who love yoga but are excluded for economic reasons, providing quality instruction for donation-only at some of his studios and $8/class at others. I’ve been practicing at his studio in NYC for the last several months and am psyched to bring this model to Massachusetts.

Starting on November 13, 2011, I will be teaching vinyasa on Sundays, 10-11 AM @ GymCore Crossfit, Topsfield, MA.  We have been warmly welcomed to GymCore Crossfit in Topsfield by owner/trainer Greg Damigella and these classes are open to the public. Everyone is welcome and your level of yoga experience (a lot or none at all) is unimportant.

This is Guerilla Yoga. Expect to:

• Get your practice on. This is a powerful, fun yoga practice geared to all levels.
• Pay less. $8 drop in for non members;$6 drop in for GymCore Crossfit members
• Pay in cash.  There is no CC machine.
• Make your own heat. Dress in layers.  Space is heated to 72* but you’ll make your own tapas, promise.
• Bring your own gear.  Self-reliance is a tenet of guerilla yoga.  Carry your own mat, blocks, water.

I’m teaching a few extra classes at Yoga Sakti in Salem this week: Prenatal Yoga for Kara Mears on Thursday, October 20th at 10 AM and Anusara-esque for Marc St. Pierre on Friday, October 21st at 9 AM. Looking forward to seeing you on the mat, dear ones.

Not sure who she is. Yet. But she is fun-nay.

It’s not that complicated. Anyone can do yoga and we’re here to prove it to you!

No matter your stage of life, degree of fitness, or level of stress, you will be surprised how these simple yoga poses can change your life. Instilling flexibility, balance, and a sense of calm, a mere 10 minutes each morning will start your day right. Had a tough one? A few yoga poses after work will reboot your mood. Anyone can do yoga, especially with a little encouragement from these seasoned yoga instructors.
