Yoga on the Farm

After spending my Memorial Day weekend with friends up in Hadley, MA who live on a lot of farmland, I was inspired. We went for ice cream to a working dairy farm called Flayvors of Cook farm that had chickens and cows which gave the kids such a sense of where their ice cream came from! I loved it. The farm sells an ice cream called Hadley Grass in which they use the local asparagus. Hadley was once called the “asparagus capital of the world” because of how fertile their soil is for growing asparagus. The wheels started turning in my brain while we enjoyed the cows and the ice cream. I love to take a real experience and then create a class out of it. I taught a lot of preschool classes this week which makes teaching about the farm so much fun. Preschoolers love the farm! Most of my classes… Read More »

Yoga Outside

Ah, this is a post I’ve been meaning to write all summer long! I love teaching outside and try to do it as much as possible. As soon as the sun starts shining, I try to hold as many classes as I can in the beautiful outdoors.  What could be better then using a real tree to help us focus for tree pose? or even using its trunk to lean on?    I love hearing the sounds of nature around us as we stretch and fly and breathe.  The kids seem to love it- as long as it’s not too hot! I try to find a nice shady spot (especially since this summer has been super hot and I’m super pregnant!).  The best part is relaxation before the eye pillows. I love having the kids look up at the sky and notice what they see.    Clouds, tree leaves, birds,… Read More »

Sno-ga!

All this snow here in CT has definitely affected my teaching. Lots of school cancellations have caused lots of yoga classes to be canceled.  After spending an hour shoveling out our cars this morning, I was wiped. But my friend Dana wanted to take her 2 girls for a walk in the park to see the snowman building contest. I figured it would be good for me, since both our husbands had to work and we had been holed up in our apartments for what seems like days now! So we trudged along to the park, in and out of the snow and enjoying the beauty of our surroundings. As much of a pain this snow has been, it really is so beautiful in the trees and piled up in the park. Once its been hanging around, taking up parking spaces and getting dirty, I’m ready for it to disappear.… Read More »
