Hello neighbors,

I teach Vinyasa Flow Yoga at the Montague Common Hall on Tuesday evenings, and I am looking into offering two 5-week Gentle Yoga sessions this summer called "Yoga Essentials for a Strong Practice." This is a great opportunity to kick-start or refine your practice, right here in your neighborhood. Don't miss it!

Please help me assess the level of your interest by clicking a couple of buttons in this 20-second survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QTR65RS

CLASS DETAILS:
Thursdays: 5:30 - 6:45PM
Session 1: June 9 - July 7
Session 2: July 14 - August 11

THE GOAL of this series is to provide an opportunity for a gentler, slower paced yoga class, which will spotlight several fundamental postures to help establish safe and optimal alignment for your advancing practice. Gentle Yoga postures will help reduce stress, unwind the body and calm the mind, while low-impact core strengthening exercises will help increase stability and mobility and help with postural injury prevention and balance. In addition, each class will feature a new breathing and relaxation technique helpful in maintaining a calm focus and in improving emotional well-being. The series will provide a safe a nurturing environment for beginners and advancing Yogis, while seasoned practitioners will benefit as well by bringing an open mind and curiosity, and refining their practice.


OTHER DETAILS:
Cost: $10-$13 per class, depending on when you register and for how many sessions.
Pre-registration required. (sign up for one or the other, or both and save!)
You can miss one class per session and comp by attending a Tuesday class at any time.

Please let know soon if you might be interested! Again, here is the 20-second survey to help me assess the level of interest in the community: 20-second survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QTR65RS

If you know someone else who might benefit from this class, please forward this info to them.

Thank you so much!
Warmly,
Nadya

Hello SusanKay,

Thanks for responding about the old time jam. You are the first person to respond to the note. I don't have a time, place or frequency to do this thing. I thought once enough of us showed interest we could decide amongst ourselves. I was thinking it would be great to be able to use the Montague Grange. I don't know if it would be free or not at this point but I plan on checking into that part. That's great that you can round up a fiddle or two. I'll stay in touch after giving more people time to respond and check on Grange availability.
