Starting Saturday, June 8th,  Empower Yoga will be held at Stone Turtle Yoga on Saturdays at 10:00am. This is a 75 minute class which is open to all levels, and is best suited for people who enjoy an alignment-based practice with a flow-like feel. Empower Yoga often includes Sun Salutations, standing and seated poses, arm balances, balancing poses, back bends, and the occasional inversion. The practice generates heat, endurance, flexibility, strength and concentration, and is centered around linking breath with movement.

This class was especially popular last summer, and is an invigorating, refreshing way to kick off the weekend! As always, please let us know if this class, or any other class you’d really like to attend regularly does not work for your schedule. We definitely want to meet the needs of our community, so if there is resounding support for a schedule change, please let us know your input!

Also, there is still some space left for Partner Yoga next Wednesday, June 12th at 6:00pm. Send an email to mariah@stoneturtleyoga.com or call her at 989-302-7928 to reserve your spot! Cost is $15 per couple, and refreshments will follow the hour-long Gentle Partner Yoga class.

Have a great week!

Namaste,

Mariah, Lexi, & Stu
