Just a quick note to say hello, and hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. We are loving it down the street and around the corner. The beautiful new studio boasts space and light. In addition, Marie has incorporated a rope wall as used in many Iyengar studios around the world. These ropes will deepen, open and unwind your heart and soul. Classes range from a beginners level Foundations class to a very energetic vinyasa. Gentle yoga is available twice a week, and Marie’s signature Anjali Yoga makes use of all that the studio has to offer.
Currently, Ashley is teaching Anjali Yoga on Thursday and Friday mornings at 8:30am. This is very similar to the Explore Class that was held at Santi on Friday mornings. I have also brought the Slow Flow Vinyasa class, Sundays at 4:00 over with me. Kyndra continues to teach her Vinyasa on Wednesdays at 5:45. If you enjoyed these classes at Santi, then come on over! I know you will feel at home in this safe, clean, restorative space.
As most of you know, I have continue my training through Wilmington Yoga Center’s service-based Kunga Yoga program, where I have studied Thai Bodywork and have completed their Prenatal Teacher’s Training Program, and most recently training in Therapeutic Yoga for chronic pain. One of the most exciting things about the new space for me is its accessibility to all- no stairs! I truly believe that the practice of yoga is a personal, unique experience and I am honored to have the opportunity to offer people of all ages and physical ability a varity of yoga experiences. If you have had a private session in the past, or feel you could benefit from one, I would love to work with you! Private sessions are designed based on the specific needs of the client, such as alignment, relaxation techniques, or injury rehabilitation. They are especially beneficial to those who would prefer a more personal setting to a group environment, those who have specific health conditions or injuries who could benefit from a session designed specifically for their needs, or those who wish to take a slower approach to developing a yoga practice. I can be contacted at 910-585-4084 to schedule a session.
Hope to see you all soon. Namaste! Ashley
If you are new to the area, or new to yoga, welcome! We look forward to practicing with you soon. For those of you who practice with us regularly, thank you for being such a loving, supportive community. As you may have heard, several of the classes that are currently offered at this studio will move to Anjali Yoga Studio on Pennsylvania Avenue beginning in July. I am excited about the growth and expansion of our community, and the opportunities at the beautiful new studio.
I truly believe that yoga is a personal, unique experience that nurtures physical, mental and spiritual growth. My intention in teaching yoga has always been to serve our community by offering people of all ages and physical ability the opportunity to experience yoga. The accessibility of this new space is huge for me as my interest in yoga therapeutics and yoga for pregnancy grows. And the rope wall is really cool! Thank you Marie for opening your doors to us!
So, what will happen at the Sunrise this summer? Santi Yoga Studio is such a special, unique place, perfect for practicing so many styles of yoga and more. We truly would love for it to remain available for our community.
- Do you have something that you would like to offer our community and need a cool spot to do it?
- Have you have practiced for years in this loft and don’t want to see it go?
Let’s stay open minded. This does not have to be limited to yoga. Please share your thoughts and ideas with us by e-mailing santiyoga@me.com or calling me at 910-585-4084.
Thank you all so much for your continued support, and for practicing with me!
Namaste,
Ashley
