Spring in the studio

Happy Spring!

It is always so inspiring to hear the birds sing and see the flowers and trees come back to life. Spring is truly a beautiful season!

It is wonderful to be able to slowly move forward from the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. CDC just announced that masks are no longer required indoors when all people present are vaccinated. This is great news for the studio. We will slowly begin to allow more people into the studio for classes. Elizabeth Spahr is now allowing 6 people into the studio for a class with prior permission. Please text the studio (207-423-0663) or email the studio at least one day before the class to allow us to keep the number to 6 students. We hope to be able to increase the number of students in the studio as the spring/summer progresses and no longer require you to sign up. Zoom will still be available for all classes. Contact studio if you need the class link. The same link is valid for all the classes in the studio except for Susan Mirisola's classes. Susan hopes to be back to teaching in the next several weeks. She is healing and recovering well from her surgery.

Elizabeth Clarkson continues to offer her class on Zoom only. She is hoping to return to the studio at the end of May/early June. Students will slowly be able to return to her class in person once she returns.

We will be offering a new class - Stretch and Strengthen with Carolyn Martin starting on June 5th. Carolyn is a long time student of Village Yoga and we are excited to welcome her to the studio as an instructor. Her bio and class description are on our website. She has lots of experience teaching fitness. This should be a great class!

There will be a sign for Port Yoga going up at our building. Leslie Fiore will be renting the yoga studio by the hour to teach her own classes. Village Yoga and Port Yoga are not combining, just sharing space. Class cards from Village Yoga will not be honored by Port Yoga and vice versa. Leslie needed a place to teach and Village Yoga had time available in the studio. It is a win/win for both of us. We welcome Leslie to our beautiful studio.

Once again, I would like to thank all of our loyal students who have enabled Village Yoga to continue to provide yoga with a sense of community. I have heard from many people how important the yoga classes have been during this challenging time. I agree! I have truly enjoyed teaching and seeing you all on Zoom. Even though we look forward to having more students back in the studio for classes soon, Zoom classes will continue for those of you who have enjoyed staying home.
