I’ll be teaching a Yoga II class at Pilgrimage of the Heart Normal Heights starting on June 11. This is a one-hour class from 5:00- 6:00 PM. Yoga II is a slower-paced Hatha style class which is intended for students with yoga experience who wish to build strength, balance and flexibility while exploring more advanced postures, including inversions.

As of today, June 9, my Vinyasa and Deep Rest class at The Little Yoga Studio will be extended by 15 minutes to allow you a little more time to enjoy your practice. This class features meditation, flowing yoga, and restorative poses for the perfect balance of movement and stillness. You’ll end class relaxed and refreshed – a perfect way to end your Sunday afternoon.

Please see my schedule page for an updated schedule, or like my Facebook page for regular updates.

My Hatha Yoga class at The Little Yoga Studio is moving to a new time this coming Friday, March 1st. The class will now be held from 9:30- 10:45 AM each Friday. Hatha Yoga is a slower-paced style of practice which can easily be adapted to your level and personal needs. It is great for beginners to build a foundation of knowledge about yoga poses, but it also helps more intermediate and advanced students progress in their practice. By holding poses longer, you can arrive at a deeper understanding of the pose – no matter what your level. Some advanced poses – such as inversions and arm balances – will be included, but modifications and alternatives will always be provided for beginners. Come find out how Hatha can transform your practice!

All of my classes will be cancelled for the holidays from December 23 through January 3rd. Pilgrimage of the Heart Yoga is completely closed from December 24th through January 1st. The Little Yoga Studio is operating on a modified schedule over the holidays – please see the studio websites for details.

Wishing all of my students a loving and peaceful holiday season. See you in 2013. Thank you for sharing your practice with me this year.

With love,

Rachel

I’m very excited to be teaching a new Hatha Yoga class at The Little Yoga Studio from 8:00- 9:15 on Friday mornings, starting September 28. This slower-paced class is great for beginners or to balance out Vinyasa or other vigorous practice styles. Hatha yoga builds strength, flexibility, balance, and of course, relaxation. I focus on the alignment of body, mind, and breath to help students of all levels connect into themselves and ultimately transform their practice.

If any of the following applies to you, this is the class for you.

• You are a beginner.
• You have questions about the poses or are interested in how to practice more safely.
• You are recovering from injury or a hard workout, or you are working with physical challenges.
• You are feeling busy, stressed, or fatigued.
• You have already been practicing yoga but are interested in deepening your understanding of poses or breathing techniques through a slower practice.
• You want to build up strength and flexibility in order to support your practice of other styles.

Please note that the class cancellations at plan-B-fitness are now permanent as the studio has been closed. Please stay tuned to this site or my Facebook page for the latest information on new classes and other schedule changes. You can always find my current schedule on the Schedule page, and information about classes I am subbing for will be posted regularly on the News section of my site and on Facebook.

I hope to see you in class. Have a beautiful practice!

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances affecting the studio space, we have had to suspend yoga classes at plan-B-fitness effective immediately. This means my Tuesday and Thursday morning Vinyasa classes and Sunday 11:30 Hatha class will be temporarily cancelled until further notice. I’ll let you know as soon as I’m able to resume! Thank you so much for your understanding.

This doesn’t affect my other classes, so in the meantime, please join me on Sunday at 4:30 at The Little Yoga Studio for Vinyasa and Deep Rest. I also assist Nikole Fortier’s Yoga 2 class on Sunday mornings at 8:45 at Pilgrimage of the Heart Normal Heights. (See my Schedule page for details.)

Don’t forget to check my Facebook page for announcements about class cancellations, as well as extra classes I am subbing. I sub quite frequently at Pilgrimage of the Heart, as well as at The Little Yoga Studio.

Hope to see you in class soon. Namaste.

My exciting news for this summer is that I’m getting married on August 4th. I’ll be heading out of town for the wedding and honeymoon, so there will be some schedule changes for my classes July 28- August 17.
