It occurred to me yesterday that all of the habits that we learn in Body Wisdom prepare us for a situation like this one.

2020 is proving to be a year of exponential growth at Main Street Yoga. It’s been so exciting to welcome new faces to the studio, and we are so very grateful for those of you who have been with us for years.

In the past week, I’ve seen a lot of Facebook memes suggesting that January was inordinately long and difficult. I have to say, that wasn’t the case for me. January flew by, fueled by all of the happenings and all the new faces at Main Street Yoga.

Namaste, MSY yogis! This is just a short mid-month check-in to let you know about a few new offerings at the studio.

It’s shaping up to be an exciting year at MSY!

Regardless of whether or not you set new year resolutions, there’s no denying that this time between Christmas and the start of the new year is a natural time to reflect on where we’ve been and imagine where we’d like to be.

With the holiday week upon us, I thought it might be appropriate to remind you of all the special events happening at Main Street Yoga

With a late Thanksgiving, I suddenly find myself over a week into December! Christmas will be here in a flash with a new year hard on its heels. Lucky for you, MSY provides plenty of opportunities for you to slow down and enjoy some time caring for YOU!

Welcome to Thanksgiving Week! I hope some of you are enjoying some time off from work and that all of you will enjoy time with family and friends over the coming week. I also hope you’ll join us at Main Street Yoga for the special events we’ve planned to help you slow down a little and experience Thanksgiving in a more heartfelt way.

This is it. November. Two months left in 2020. The warm weather is coming to an end; fall sports are winding down; and there are already way too many Facebook posts about “the holidays.” But at Main Street Yoga, November is packed with events and fun things to do!

There’s no need to lament the passing of summer when there are so many great things happening at Main Street Yoga!

If outdoor summertime activities have been overshadowing your yoga practice, now is the perfect time to get back to the studio!

Here’s what we have planned for August! 

The weather is heating up and so is the schedule at Main Street Yoga! June offers you several opportunities to refine and uplevel your energy!

Take a moment to reflect on your yoga practice. How is it serving you? Do you continue to strengthen your body, improve your posture, reduce aches and pains, increase your flexibility? Are you able to use your breath to focus your attention, reduce your stress, increase your energy? Do you continue to deepen your awareness of the inner workings of your mind, your intuition, your spirit?  

This week, my Body Wisdom group is covering Habit 3 – Start the Day Right. For many of our members, this habit has made the biggest positive impact on their day-to-day lives. So I thought I’d share some of the philosophy behind this habit and our best tips and tricks for waking up early feeling rested, refreshed, and ready for your day. 

Main Street Yoga kicks off each month with our Relax & Recharge open house. May is no exception, and I’m so excited to announce that this month – in addition to reiki, AromaTouch, and tarot – we’re introducing a new therapy and a new practitioner: Marma Chikitsa with Aurora Taylor!

We need to find time to relax, to let the “rest and digest” state undo the effects of “fight or flight.” And since many of us aren’t sleeping well, we need to find time to do that during our waking hours.

Yin Yoga is a deep, satisfying practice that targets connective tissue and calms the nervous system.

Spring is finally in the air, and MSY is ready to bust you out of the winter doldrums.
