February is officially Mindfulness Awareness month at Stone Turtle Yoga! For this month, we are extending the 15 minute meditation after Thursday evening’s Slow Flow/Yin class to include not just meditation but also some light discussion on the modern technique of Vipassana-meditation, or mindfulness as it is known in the west. This session will begin at the end of the yoga class and last approximately 20 minutes, is meant to help students learn meditation and mindfulness by both practicing it and by discussing the techniques with Lexi. Come exercise your mind! No experience necessary, all levels welcome!
This Thursday’s (Feb 5) class takes place from 5:30-6:45pm (1 hour of yoga + 15-20 min of meditation/mindfulness practice). Class is usually 6:00-7:15pm, except for the first Thursday of the month when class is at 5:30pm.

Much love, see you in class! Namaste,
Mariah, Lexi & Amy
PS – a big hug to the Grayling yogis who braved the chilly studio this morning, and apologies to those who showed up to the 45 degree temps yesterday! The heat is back on as of noon today, and the pipes are being worked on. We will continue have class as usual going forward!
