Join us tomorrow morning at 10:00am EST for a live Hatha yoga class, led by Mariah! This class, taught on Zoom, is open to all levels, and will incorporate movement, breathing, and stretching in ways that encourage openness and lightness, as well as grounding and relaxation. It is available free of charge to anyone with a computer/smartphone and internet access. Please join us!

Hello, friends!

As you are probably aware, Michigan’s shelter-in-place order has been extended until April 30th. We are very hopeful that we will be able to re-open the studio May 1st, but we will continue monitoring the situation closely and keep you posted as that date gets closer.

Until then, we will be offering 3 live yoga classes per week via Zoom, a free online platform that is super easy to use. This way, we can practice live, together! Here is the class schedule for online Zoom yoga classes, from Monday, April 13th through Thursday, April 30th:

Mondays 10:00am: Hatha Yoga with Mariah
Thursdays 9:00am: Core Yoga with Amy B.
Saturdays 10:00am: Vinyasa Yoga with Laurie

How to take our Zoom yoga classes:

1. Download Zoom to your computer or phone.
2. Up to 15 minutes before the start of your class, click the link to the class you’d like to take from the list at the bottom of this email.
3. Follow prompts to join meeting (if you get a pop up window, make sure to allow video and audio on your computer).

For the time being, these online Zoom classes are free, and we welcome you to share them with anyone who might be interested! If you would like to make a donation, please Venmo (click here on how to use Venmo) me at @mfcolie and those funds will go directly to the teacher (please specify which class you are donating towards).

We hope all of you are taking care, enjoying the outdoors as much as possible, and remaining socially connected despite the physical separation. If you would like a break from the news noise, and a chance to read and think deeply about the collective moment we are in, I invite you to take 20-30 minutes to read this essay by Charles Eisenstein. It addresses pressing, existential questions about our path forward as a society, which I believe need to be seriously contemplated before we take even one step forward.

Also, stay tuned for a survey coming out in the next few days regarding the upcoming Spring/Summer in-studio class schedule. We want to hear from YOU about what days, times, and classes would fit your life the best!

Ready to take a class NOW? Check out our Online Library of pre-recorded yoga classes on YouTube.

With love and gratitude for each and every one of you,

Mariah, Patty, Amy M., Amy B. and Laurie
