Wednesday Night Hatha Yoga!
Exciting news! Green Mountain Shakti has picked up a Wednesday night (hot) Hatha yoga class at 802 Pilates Health and Fitness in Middlebury! Join me for a 75-minute class where we’ll practice flow, restorative, meditation, pranayama, and my favorite… shavasana.
Hatha yoga aims to strengthen and purify the physical body, cultivate prana, and activate spiritual energy. Practicing in a heated room enhances flexibility, circulation, and detoxification. Classes focus on the union of mind-body-spirit through practice of asana (postures) pranayama (breathing), mudra (hand gestures), and meditation. Great for all levels of experience.
Classes are being held through June and require 3 people to run, so please sign up on our Events page to reserve your spot!

Friday Night Yoga
Last night we bathed in the light of the full moon and shared a beautiful asana practice with pranayama, mudras, mantras, and meditation. It was a lovely evening that ended with tea and snacks, and I can’t wait for the next one. The energy of the full moon is powerful, and it is a great time to go inward and reflect on all that we’ve accomplished since the last full moon. It’s also a wonderful time to decide what no longer serves you, and to gently release it. Our mantra for last night’s class was “I release,” and I could literally feel the stress drip off my body, only to be received by Her one and only, Mother Earth. It was magical and I hope to see you there for the next one.
I’ll be offering hot Hatha yoga on Friday nights starting in May at 802 Pilates Health and Fitness. If you haven’t been there, I highly encourage you to check it out! Karrie has so much life force and passion for health… her classes are always rejuvenating and electrifying! You can check out her schedule here to sign up for my classes, and hopefully you’ll poke around and try some other new classes while you’re there!
Hatha yoga aims to unite the mind-body-soul by using techniques like asana (postures), mudras (hand gestures), mantras (sacred chants), and meditation. It is a true holistic experience. It’s generally a slower pace, and we move in alignment with the breath. Wonderful for all levels of ability and experience!
