I received a last minute invitation to sub at Lila at noon today. I heard that this class likes to flow, and to “bring the fire.” Going over my class notes for flow classes I’ve taught, I came across this gem:
Because it’s Friday, I decided also to haul out my “Hymn for the Weekend” Coldplay Yoga playlist, perfectly dialed in for a one hour class I taught for a Happy Hour Yoga class I taught at a studio in Massachusetts. Here we go!
Maybe see you there!
I’m back at Yoga Basics tonight. Never mind the flurries, come out for some yoga.
You didn’t think I was going to say “Triple Threat,” did you?
Tonight, Monday January 8, begins a Trifecta of teaching back at Pause Yoga Amesbury, with Yoga Basics, from 6 – 7:15 PM. This’ll be my regular weekly gig.

Tuesday, January 9, from 7 – 8:15 PM, I’ll be subbing All Levels Yoga for Jennifer Freeman.
Wednesday, January 10, from 5:30 – 6:30 PM, I’ll be subbing All Levels Yoga for Barbara Galarza.
Time to “rev your resolutions”! This week we’ll explore “foundation first,” and opening to what’s new.
One week into the New Year, I’ll be returning to the schedule at Pause Yoga Amesbury, after a brief hiatus. I’ll be offering a Yoga Basics class, which is intended for all levels.
Find depth in the basics. This class makes the hard poses easy, and the easy poses hard. Beginners and more experienced practitioners alike can benefit from attention to fundamentals. We use the same alignment and actions to build a foundation or strengthen it. We open ourselves to what’s new by reinforcing the familiar.
This is based on the fundamental insight that the same alignment cues and actions used by more experienced practitioners, are used by beginners. Moreover, poses we think of as “easier” or “more basic” can be intense with the right sort of attention.
I’m happy to have a class that suits my regulars and welcomes a brand new crop of students who are coming into the studio from Introduction to Yoga series. Although it’s my philosophy that each person’s practice is unique, it’s also my view that we benefit from the energy of practicing in community. We learn both from exposure to “beginner’s mind” and the breakthroughs that come from consistent practice.
I look forward to teaching from this approach, and hope you will join me. To add the class to your Facebook calendar, scan the QR code below, or use the following URL: https://www.facebook.com/events/284111975446404/. To sign up for my mailing list, use the following form:

There are three opportunities to catch a class with me this New Year’s weekend. On Friday, December 29, I’ll be subbing for my teacher Marc St. Pierre. On Sunday morning, December 31, I will be offering a yoga class in lieu of a formal worship service at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Andover, of which I am a member (and past President).
This is a reminder that Flow and Restore at Pause Yoga Amesbury is cancelled tonight, Monday, September 4, on account of the Labor Day holiday. See you Tuesday at Hour of Power. Check out the new fall schedule for Pause Yoga Amesbury, which includes some special events.

Mindful Vinyasa at 7 PM tonight!
I’ve a full week of teaching yoga. In addition to my regular Mindful Vinyasa and Form and Flow yoga classes at Pause Yoga Amesbury and Discover the Wonders Yoga in Dracut, respectively, I’ll be subbing for Roberta Dell’Anno’s All Levels Yoga at Essential Yoga Studio in Andover, and for Linda’s Slow Flow class following mine at Discover the Wonders.
I’ll be squeezing the most out of summer!
When I reposted MC Yogi’s instagram this morning, I got props in a tweet.
I am definitely burning up my 15 minutes of fame.
It looks like he also got props from Trevor Hall, another peaceful warrior who is a favorite of mine.
But this is great because I first heard of MC Yogi from a yoga teacher, and heard a track by East Forest in Genell Huston’s Expanding class at Lila East End Studio in Portland, ME.
I was listening to Ritual Mystical in the car on the way to and from yoga this morning, and I can’t wait to use it in class.
Wholehearted Yoga
