Slow Yoga (In-person)

Saturdays 8:30 am – 9:45 am

Classes will be held in a rustic  art studio built in 1764.  There is plenty of light, heat AC , bathroom and lots of parking and charm.

During class, you will be guided in ways of self-care, strengthening, lengthening, releasing and resting. Attention to alignment, breath and mindful transitions will help build your confidence along with strength, balance and mobility and most importantly, awareness.

Restorative Yoga with Reiki Assist

This class will provide soothing practices to restore your body and calm the mind. You’ll be invited into deep listening as we practice: breath, mudra and gentle movement, and soothing poses.

No experience necessary

Using various props; bolsters, blocks, and blankets, you can rest in each pose from 5 to 10 minutes. Gentle movement is offered between each posture. You will be guided and encouraged to find the most easeful position for your body, as to relax deeply and comfortably. Guided imagery and breathing practices are offered to promote calmness and ease.

If you have any questions, please contact Lynn McCarthy: lynnmccarthy08@gmail.com or 860-227-0658.

Peaceful Yoga (Online)

Monday & Friday 9:00 am – 10:15 am

This is breath-centered, healing -yoga practice grounded in tradition & science.  You will be guided through mindful transitions, options for poses to fit your body and your needs, and enjoyable path of well-being, ease and the ebbing of pain.

Chair Yoga (Online)

Wednesday 9:00 am – 10:15 am

This chair class is for everyone! Put simply, a chair is just another prop. Like blocks and straps it allows the freedom to access the poses, support your body and to try new postures. The chair also provides more security to strengthen muscles and practice balancing, all while boosting your courage and enjoyment of movement.
