(WRJ) Womens’ New Moon Circle
Sunday, May 5
5–7 pm

Natasha

Join Natasha for a New Moon women’s circle in our beautiful WRJ studio. A potent time for intention and reflection, the new moon will serve as a catalyst for connection with one another and community building through sharing, movement, and breath. Open to anyone who identifies as a woman.

The Full Moon circle is open to everyone, and will be an evening of sharing from our hearts in the support of community. We will lean into the practice of yoga to create safe and sacred space to hold us through our collective healing efforts. All are welcome. Bring a mat, an open heart, and an open mind. 

Our beautiful space has limited capacity,.

Please register for either event here with the New Moon/full moon Pass, sliding scale 10–25, to ensure your spot.

(THETFORD) Sunrise and Shine
Wednesdays, April 24, May 8
6:30–7:30 am

Leslie

Sunrise and Shine is offered once or twice per month in Thetford. This early morning class provides a lovely mid-week reset and is open to everyone. We combine a 10-minute seated meditation, a well-rounded blend of stretch, standing poses, core and breath work. The consistent format and moderate pace make it a powerfully grounding practice, leaving you clear and refreshed as you head into the rest of your week.

Sign up to save a spot.


 

MAHA SADHANA
the "Great Practice"

Saturday, May 11
3:30-5:30 pm

Aleah

Please join us for a long-format complete yoga practice, which seems to be increasingly rare in yoga studios these days. In a kind, unhurried, and exploratory way, we use movement and focus of the body, breath, and mind to explore the experience of yoga and being alive, tapping a deep well of potential. This class includes a bit of Sanskrit chanting, an invigorating and balancing physical practice incorporating selected postures from the Ashtanga primary and/or secondary series, along with breath technique and seated meditation. Along the way, we will address and perhaps uncover for ourselves some of the more subtle and esoteric aspects of yoga. No particular experience is necessary; everyone is welcome. Experienced students will find this class helpful to enrich and refine their practice.

Register here to reserve a spot. You are welcome to use your existing multi-class pass (the workshop will use two class credits) or you can purchase the “long format” drop in pass, for $30. Get in touch if you have questions).

May 11 will be the last session until the Fall.

Restorative Yoga
Sunday, April 28, May 19
4–5:15 pm

Natasha

Restorative Yoga is a gentle, supportive practice suitable for all levels. In this practice we use props generously—bolsters, blankets, blocks—to facilitate deep and nourishing rest. No experience is necessary; all are welcome.

Sign up to reserve a spot as space (and props) is limited to ensure a deeply nourishing experience for everyone.

UPSIDE DOWN!
Fridays, May 3 and May 10
5:30–7:30 pm

Greta

Join UVY teacher, Greta Calabrese, for a weekend of playful exploration on your hands! In this two-part workshop, students will move through a thoughtful warmup and asana sequence to prepare the body for being upside down. With the employment of props and the wall, we will identify alignment concepts and techniques to incorporate inversions into our regular yoga practice. Focus will be placed on headstand, forearm stand and handstand. This workshop is open to students of all levels but a basic knowledge of asana will be useful.

$60 if registered by April 26 $65 thereafter (price includes both days)
