Present Moment, Beautiful Moment - a Gift

Whatever is happening in this moment is exactly what is supposed to be happening in this moment! It is perfect, it is beautiful. These are the reminders that help me to manage the sometimes crushing Holly Daze. So when it gets to be overwhelming take a moment to close your eyes, tune in to your breath, letting the breath wash over and thru you as it begins to release all those hidden tensions...And now, in this moment, present moment, beautiful moment, rest in its embrace.

SKIERS/RIDERS YOGA

Get ready for the slopes!

Class focus is on strength and flexibility training for legs and core.

Downhill sports require leg strength to protect the vulnerable knee joint on vertical descent. Ankle and hip flexibility enhance performance and enjoyment! Core strength and spinal flexibility enhance reaction time and reduce the liklihood of injurious falls! This mid-week class will prepare you for your weekends on the mountain!

WINTER SPORTS YOGA

Please note that the time for Winter Sports Yoga on Wednesday evenings was incorrectly posted as 5pm. I will be at Simply Yoga for anyone who shows up at that time. HOWEVER, all subsequent Wednesday Evening classes will begin at 5:45 pm and end at 7pm. Depending on when people show up for this first class, I am prepared to teach a short version from 5pm-5:45 and then beginning again at the correct start time. Sorry for any inconvenience this posting error has caused. Looking forward to a great challenging class!

Men's Yoga

How did it go!!? Shall we offer another session? Let's get some feedback...

A Potential Additional Location...

Simply Yoga is considering an additional location for classes and bodywork, in Exeter RI on Rte 2 just north of Rte 138 in the Oak Harbor Plaza. A modest space (1100 sq ft) with a corner orientation, big windows, 2 dressing rooms, bathroom and an separate space to be used for treatments, healing, massage, and other modalities of personal work. Close enough to URI to potentially net some students, several businesses in the plaza already that can be mutually supportive. The space will have to be created, a mission more articulated, since the space will be primarily Yoga oriented in it's nature. So these are the details I am aware of at this point...Sherry can add more, and let's get some conversation on this...

WINTER SPORTS YOGA

This 1 hour class is designed for active folks who are looking to increase strength, flexibility and endurance for the ski season and take their mountain skills to the next level. Physical focus is on torso and legs; Mental focus on determination and confidence.

Folks that are new to yoga are encouraged to come find out what all the hype is about but should have intermediate level of physical fitness.
No previous yoga experience necessary!

Class start date is Wednesday, November 4th, 5:45pm-7pm
This will be an 8 week series.

Warm Welcome to all

Hope you all enjoy this site.
Have a beautiful day.
