Join us in a transformative journey into the realm of arm balances with our exclusive workshop, "Mastering Eka Pada Koundinyasana I & II." 

Led by Micol Piccoli, this immersive experience invites practitioners of all levels to delve deeper into the intricate art of balancing mind, body, and spirit.

Eka Pada Koundinyasana, a dynamic arm balance pose named after the sage Koundinya, represents strength, focus, and unwavering determination. In this workshop, you will learn how to seamlessly integrate this powerful pose into your practice through a thoughtfully curated vinyasa flow sequence.

Through precise alignment cues, Micol will guide you step-by-step, offering modifications and variations to accommodate all levels of practitioners. You will explore the foundational elements of arm balancing, cultivating core stability, upper body strength, and mental clarity essential for mastering Eka Pada Koundinyasana.

The vinyasa flow will prepare the body to awaken your inner strength and harness your focus. As you progress through the sequence, you will gradually build strength and confidence to fly into Eka Pada Koundinyasana.

Whether you are a curious beginner eager to explore new horizons or a more experienced yogi looking to refine your arm balance practice, this workshop offers a supportive environment to explore your potential and awaken your inner light.

Listen to your body and honor its limitations. Approach your practice with patience, mindfulness, and perseverance, and you'll gradually build the strength and confidence needed to master Eka Pada Koundinyasana.

Take time this pregnancy to plan for self care and healing movement in the first six weeks postpartum.

While we are often given very little guidance as to how to navigate this period, the immediate postpartum can be a transformational time of recovery, rest, and bonding with your new baby and yourself. This workshop provides you with essential tools to prepare for the first six weeks, focusing on gentle movement and healing practices that promote physical recovery and emotional balance. We will lay the groundwork for a nourishing postpartum experience, exploring options for preparation, support, and self-care.

You will leave with daily movement options that are gentle enough to begin as soon as you’d like post-birth, mostly done from bed, and all designed to support the specific needs of your postpartum body, regardless of your birth experience.

This workshop can be taken at any time in pregnancy.

Have you ever met our front desk staff member Kendra? She works on Sunday mornings and is always there to help greet you, check you in and help keep the studio clean. She has been with us in our Woburn location since we opened there and we are always so appreciative of her help.

Kendra’s son, Aidan, was very recently in a terrible car accident and the excerpt below is from a gofund me page setup by family friends. It is our hope that our LPY community can rally around her and help her as much as she has helped us.

Lorraine will be leading a 15-20 min Metta Meditation on Sunday 1/21 right after her 11am class. This Loving Kindness meditation is a powerful way to send our healing energy to Aidan, Kendra and all who need it. We hope to ask for a suggested donation of $15 at the door but any amount is always appreciated. Please join us. Details are below the excerpt.

“Aidan McElhinney from WHS class of ‘23 was in a serious car accident early in the morning on December 20, 2023. He is in a coma and on a ventilator in the ICU at a level 1 trauma center and is suffering from life threatening injuries. Thus far, he has had 6-7 surgeries. He has several more surgeries and numerous other medical needs ahead. As you can imagine, the family will likely incur loads of expenses to help him get through this. Hence, we set up this fund.

In addition to this tragic situation, this family also lost use of their home in April due to a house fire. It’s been a terrible year for them.

They are tremendously grateful for all the love and support this community has continually given them. As their friends, we are asking for more love and support of these kind people in this time of great need.”

Her Fight Is My Fight...SHiNE Pink Out & Yoga Class for The Ellie Fund

Join The SHiNE Team, including Ally Cohen (a breast cancer survivor & warrior) & Anita Aiyer for an amazing mash up! 45 minute SHiNE Dance Fitness to an amazingly empowering playlist & 30 minutes of the perfect wind-down, hands on yoga class.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  We'll be dancing to songs with a strong "Her Fight is My Fight" theme.  Wear pink in support and memory of the 'Pink Warriors' in our lives.

Ally’s story & why we love this cause!

I left my four year old with a babysitter on a sunny August afternoon in 2016 to head to a routine yearly mammogram.  It was anything but routine.  I remember getting dressed and waiting for the all clear to head home, but being pulled into a back office by the on-call radiologist. I was told I needed to get an oncology team together as soon as possible.  I was convinced they had the wrong person--and I remember telling them so!  I had no lumps, felt no masses, had no family history of breast cancer.  But there was no mistake. Scans, biopsies, and tests were only the beginning.  Weeks, months, and even years of surgeries, treatments, and appointments followed. But because of a strong support network in a caring community, I was never alone. I had resources at every turn. Organizations such as the Ellie Fund lead the fight against breast cancer, empower women, and ensure quality care for all.  I was lucky.  In September of 2021, I celebrated five years cancer-free. I plan to dedicate this month to helping to increase  awareness and to promote regular screenings and early detection of breast cancer.  Nearly 1 in 8 women in America will receive a diagnosis during one's lifetime. Together, we can make a difference.

Join us on the Saturday 5/13 for an amazing fundraising class for an amazing cause. Wildflower is a non-profit that supports kids who have lost a parent. 

It is hard to imagine anything more devastating to a child than the loss of a parent. Wildflower strives to help these young families with a unique approach that starts with the gift of camp!  Camp is so much more than a fun adventure for families who have faced the life-changing experience of loss. Summers are often the most challenging time for single-parent families. While parents work, children need a safe, nurturing place to go when the school year has ended.

The experience of carefree summer days, the comfort of making new friends and wonderful mentors, a break from the pain and stress at home is an invaluable experience for grieving children and a much-needed respite for the surviving parent. A child’s anticipation of another year at camp can soften the life stresses that come with the loss of a parent.
