Due to a lock snafu at the main entrance to the building, we were unable to get into the studio yesterday morning. I had to cancel the usual class, but since the weather was absolutely perfect, I offered to lead an outdoor class on the front lawn. Thank you to those of you who were willing to do yoga outdoors, as it was a beautiful practice. Some had never done yoga outside, and it was a revelation. The sunlight, the breeze, the feel of the earth beneath us…amazing. It’s an entirely different experience. Although it’s challenging to schedule outdoor classes because of weather variability, I will try to incorporate more outdoor yoga into our practice whenever possible.

And it inspired me to move forward with my proposed yoga retreat on Monhegan Island, Maine, for next summer! It’s an absolutely magical place, and the combination of its natural beauty, tranquility and wonderful people will make for an amazing retreat. I’ll keep you posted as details develop.
