                       Restorative Yoga with Danielle

                        This Thursday, January 26th

As you may have noticed, we have been running a monthly Restorative Yoga class on Thursday nights with Danielle. The class has been quite busy and the feedback outstanding.

For cold, dark January, we have another class planned. Please join us this Thursday, January 26th from 7:00 - 8:30 pm

This class is a great combination of heat and meditation, relaxation and renewal. Holding restorative poses for a few minutes combined with meditation techniques lets the muscles and other tissues fully surrender, rinse and detoxify. A great stress relief both physical and mental, restorative yoga is appropriate for beginner to advanced practitioners. Danielle tops it all off with a guided meditation, light massage with aromatherapy oils and a long savasana!!!!

Local masseuse and Yogini Sandy Marcus will be assisting to make sure the relaxation is spread throughout the room.

Class fee is $15, or one punch. No need to sign up, , so mark your calendar, grab a friend, and come join us :)

Clean Up Your Asana

Fundamentals of Alignment w/Vito Politano

 

 

Confused about appropriate hand or foot placement?  Not sure if you are engaging the right muscles?  Join us this Sunday, January 29th from 2:00 – 4:00 pm as Vito Politano leads a fun workshop on the nuts ‘n bolts of proper alignment.

 

Whether we’ve been practicing for years, or are just getting started, many of us have questions or lingering misconceptions about alignment. This workshop will be a great way to clarify, refine, and transform our practice.

This class will focus on the structural alignment of standing poses, vinyasa transitioning, and standing balances – and include as much floor work as time allows. 

 
Class will be held this Sunday, January  29th, from 2:00 – 4:00 pm. Class fee is $25 in advance, or $30 day-of. Sign up at front desk. Space is limited. No refunds w/in 48 hrs.

           Can The Yoga Loft Community help ???

While we're on the subject of Vito ... we thought we'd share something happening in his life right now. Vito's 1 yr old niece Alicia, was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. She has had several surgeries at Children's Hospital in Boston over the past few weeks and is still there. Her prognosis is cautiously optimistic, but she has a long road ahead.

Vito's sister also has a 3 yr old at home and a husband who works full time. Needless to say, life in their family is very challenging right now. They have a support network in Newton helping, but we wondered if we might be able to help out in our own little way.

We thought The Yoga Loft Community could raise funds to purchase a selection of Whole Foods and local restaurant gift cards. We figured this might make one less thing for Alicia's family to worry about during her treatment.

If you have any interest in joining to help, we will have an envelope at the front desk to gather donations. As an alternative way to give, we will be happy to convert "Punches To Gifts". You can donate punches from your punch card and we will convert the value to a donation for Alicia's family.

Drop a note w/any questions, or if you'd like to donate any punches.

P.S. If you are accustomed to dedicating your practice to someone, perhaps you will consider Alicia and her family ... every little bit helps.

                    Mid-Winter Retail Therapy

We had a winter doldrums inspired (aka Merlot) idea last night that we thought we'd pass along. As a way to offer a little "Thank You" to our punch card and monthly members (as well as create an incentive to become one), we wanted to offer a retail discount to all punch card and monthly members.

Here's how it works: For the month of February, anyone who has a valid 10 punch card, or purchases one, can take 20% off any one retail/apparel item. Same holds for Annual members.

Just let the desk person know that you'd like to use your punch-card discount ... and enjoy !
