Weather-wise March might have come in like a lamb, but at Main Street Yoga, March is on fire!! We now have eleven teachers (yes, I know I need to update the teachers page on our website), and they all have incredible things in store for you this month.
First, yoga teacher training (YTT) starts on March 19th. The deadline to apply is March 12th – just one week from today! We have an outstanding group of yogis ready to go, and we’d love to welcome you to it. YTT isn’t only for people who want to teach yoga – it’s for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding and practice of the full scope of yoga. If you’ve felt a pull in this direction, apply today or contact me if you’d like to discuss it.
If you know YTT isn’t for you, but you’d like to improve your practice, consider joining us for our asana (pose) workshops. Each session includes a warm-up, breakdowns of the mechanics of each individual pose, explorations of modifications and variations, a flow practice focused on that week's asana type, and - of course - śavasana (our final resting pose)! RYTs can earn continuing education credit with Yoga Alliance.
In addition to the asana workshops, we have a full slate of special events planned for you this month including . . .
· A Full Moon Circle on March 7th
· A Healing Sound Bath on March 10th
· A Chakra Balancing Session on March 17th
· Kitten Yoga (yep, it’s back!) on March 25th
Also keep an eye out for an Ayurveda workshop at the end of the month.
Even without all of these events our calendar is filling up. By the way, did you know that on our schedule page you can click on the name of a class to see a full description, including the name of the teacher and a hyperlink to register? It’s true! Try it out. You can also toggle between a list (agenda) view and a calendar view.
Speaking of our weekly schedule, I need to let you know about an upcoming change to our Sunday classes. Beginning March 19th, Beginners Qigong will move to 5pm, and the 6pm classes (Restorative and Yin) will move to 6:30.
We’ve also added two new classes to the Wednesday schedule: Early Morning Flow at 6am and Restorative Yoga at 7pm. For you early birds: We ask that you please register for Early Morning Flow by 9pm the night before. If no one has registered by that time, class will be cancelled. On the other hand, if others have registered and you’d like to drop in last minute, you are welcome to do so!
I think that’s it for now. On behalf of all the MSY teachers, thank you, thank you, thank you for an outstanding start to 2023! We’ve had so much fun welcoming new faces to the studio. Let’s keep the momentum going and make 2023 our best year ever!!
