Some very gentle movement, breathing techniques, and meditation to release stress and tension and prepare you for the week to come. Very centering. Suitable for all. Regular class price.
This course is designed for those who want to understand the deeper layers of yoga, but may not feel a pull to teaching; or for those who want to refresh what they studied in a previous 200HR training. This 4 week training is also the Foundational First 50 hours of the complete teacher training program.
Renee Laster RYT will bring her warmth and thoughtfulness to a Sunday evening class for everyone. Wrap up your weekend with some calming movement and some quiet time. Included in your regular class package. Suitable for all levels.
We’re in the spooky season so it’s the perfect time to turn down the incandescents, turn on the black lights and have a little fun. We’ll provide the glow sticks, some treats for the tricksters, and create a little spooky atmosphere. All you have to do is think about some glow in the dark attire, grab a friend, and come enjoy the yoga and beats! Suitable for all levels. $20
The new fall session of advanced training is scheduled to begin on October 16th.
These two free classes (Friday 9/18 at 6pm and Sunday 9/27 at 11am) and are designed to give you a little sample of what training would be like.

We are so happy to welcome Bridget back to Strongheart. She’ll bring her Chakra-Tuned Quartz Crystal Bowls to bring us another beautiful evening practice with sound.

We’re going to set up some black lights, grab some glow sticks, and set our movement to some beats! Jennifer is putting together a playlist that will inspire the rhythm and a flow that will move along with it.
We’ll supply the glow sticks! Plan your “glow in the dark” attire, grab a friend, and come
enjoy!
We’ll begin a new session of our 200HR Teacher Training and the 50Hr Deepen Your Practice Training
in October. If you’re curious about what yoga is beyond a stretching class, this might be the time to take your study a little further. Whether you want to explore becoming a yoga teacher, or simply want to learn more about the asana, philosophy and ideas, health/lifestyle ideas for your own self-enrichment, this is an opportunity to get to know us as we get to know you.
Deepen Your Practice is a four weekend training that develops understanding of the ideas of yoga and the basic yoga postures that can help you to build a personal asana/meditation practice.
Teacher Training continues the yogic journey with weekends through February (all holidays excluded) with training to teach and share the practice with confidence, understanding, and compassion.
If you’ve always thought about it, come explore our Advanced Trainings at the Open House! Find out all about the full schedule, tuition costs, and how much time commitment the trainings require. Pattie, the lead instructor would love to meet, chat, and answer any questions anyone has ever had about taking yoga beyond a group class.
Our teacher training begins with some study about the essential things to know about the asana—the postures of yoga. We begin to get familiar with poses—how they work and what the intention of them is. And we start to talk about what yoga really is beyond a stretching regimen.
These two-hour workshops are a preview of our upcoming 50HR Deepen Your Practice & 200HR Teacher Training.
This Father’s Day we want to celebrate the masculine among us! Bring the man in your life to yoga and share the experience. Register for class and bring along your masculine support as your guest.

Resilience, freedom, and balance are words close to yogi hearts, so we want to celebrate this day with our community.
In honor of the holiday, Renee is offering a special free Basic Yoga class suitable for everyone.
As we come to the 250th year of America, join us to celebrate a second Independence day for those who had been denied for so long.

Yoga for Migraine Attack Onset & Recovery
w/ Pattie McCann ERYT500 $20
Those who have suffered with migraine attacks are likely to know and recognize their triggers so they can anticipate the onset. They probably also know the “migraine hangover” feeling when their brain feels fogged and their body is still exhausted. Calming the nervous system can be a great help during the anticipation and aftermath of migraine attacks. And gentle yoga, calming breath practices, and mindfulness are proven to be wonderful aids to offer that nervous system calming.
This will be a very gentle yoga movement practice with some soothing breath practice and will include a little restorative yoga with a brief yoga nidra (yogic sleep). It could be a helpful practice for those with chronic pain as well. Participants will receive a handout to take home as a reminder of the practice.
This is a practice suitable for anyone, with yoga experience or without. Pattie recently studied yoga and migraine specifically with medical professionals, yoga teachers and therapists who have specialized in the subject. She’s anxious to share what she learned about migraine and yoga with our community.
Register Here to reserve your space.
We’ll go over how Ashtanga yoga is sequenced and taught; take a look at some poses that might be completely new to many of us; and just try to really look at the source that we’re adapting.
Some video, some discussion, some practice. We won’t be practicing for 2 hours, but we will try some things out just for fun. Handouts will be provided. CEU credits available for Yoga Alliance instructors.

Partner yoga is a great way to enhance and enliven your practice with the spirit of play! Regain your childlike nature, let go, and enjoy life through movement, breath, and touch. The leverage and assistance gained by having a trusted partner can help take you deeper into poses with less effort. This special event will be led by our Strongheart teacher Sue Andrzejewski RYT, and her husband Joe, one of our regular Strongheart yogis.
The standing poses of yoga ground us while they help us build strength and endurance. They improve our balance and our posture and help us open up and become more flexible. Understanding how subtle movements of hips, legs, and feet give us the strong foundation
can make these poses feel right and easily doable.

Let’s have an open discussion about how we make change happen.
We’ll follow our group discussion with a breath practice to lead us into a positive and peaceful place and then move to a guided meditation led by Pattie McCann ERYT500.
For 40 days, beginning Monday, January 12th until Saturday, February 21st you can pick up a motivational inspiration card and then drop your name into the jar at the studio every time you practice. At the end of the challenge we’ll draw three winners to receive yogi gifts. Practice more and increase your chances of winning!
The focus in this class is movement with the breath—not too fast or too intense. So we get the beautiful effect of movement that becomes meditative. Forty minutes of movement to release our physical and mental tension and then a period of meditation.
During our 40 Day Challenge, the focus of our meditation will be on enhancing our self-compassion and gratitude.
Bridget returns to Strongheart to guide us to a state of deep relaxation and meditation with the soothing sounds of her chakra-tuned crystal singing bowls. As we settle back comfortably and let the vibration wash over us, Bridget will use her beautiful bowls and skill as a practitioner to rinse away the tension that binds up those energy centers.

This tag line convinced us that The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times by Jane Goodall was a great choice for our next read. In times of uncertainty, a book about finding hope, by a woman who did so much good in the world, seems like a good way to reinforce our spirits.
