What a beautiful autumn this has been in Maine! Now that the hectic pace of summer is over, it's time to take care of yourself again. Have you been missing your yoga practice? Village Yoga is pleased to be able to offer a variety of yoga classes and workshops, both in studio and on Zoom.
On a schedule note, Elizabeth Spahr will be away in November for a wedding in Chicago. Therefore, a few of her classes will be cancelled. No classes on Friday November 5th and Sunday November 8th. No need to miss your regular class! Elizabeth has recorded both a moderate class and a gentle class. They are available for free on Vimeo. Settle onto your mat at your regular time or a different time of your choosing and enjoy the class. Each class can be viewed as many times as you would like.

Yoga Nidra requires no more of you than to sit or lie down in a comfy position and listen. Take this time for yourself to relax and rejuvenate during this busy holiday season.

Easing Tension in the Head, Neck, and Arms We are often not aware of the tension we hold in our head, neck, upper back, and arms that can affect our posture, how we breathe, and our sense of well being. In this two-hour workshop, we'll explore ways to release tension in the cranial bones, soft tissues of the neck, chest, and arms. Optional manual assists will be offered by the instructor. There will be homework! Students must be fully vaccinated and are required to wear a mask as will the instructor.
Equipment: yoga mat, face towel that will be folded to place under the head.
Ginger Laurits is a physical therapist with 46 years experience in multiple areas including pediatrics, rehabilitation, and outpatient orthopedics.
