Linda
Hatha Yoga
Mondays 5:30 PM
This traditional beginner-friendly Hatha yoga class will completely stretch the physical body, focus the mental body, soothe the emotional body, and recharge and revitalize the energy body. Each week the class will be different. Expect to do a round of sun or moon salutations, and standing, kneeling, sitting, prone, and supine asanas, always moving with and mindful of the breath. We may incorporate some short flows, moving from one pose to the next. We will pay close attention to alignment for the safety of the body and to maximize the flow of the life force, prana, in each pose. The foundation of the practice is mindfulness and use of the breath to find strength and sweetness in the practice, balancing effort with ease. Linda has practiced yoga for 42 years and has been teaching for the past 27. She has taught a wide variety of classes, from chair yoga for dementia facility residents to pre-K yoga for libraries to flow yoga. She teaches to whomever is in the room and appreciates the wide scope of yoga which allows everybody, at any age, to practice. She believes yoga is a gift and is happiest when sharing the practice with others. After 30 years living in Central MA, Linda moved back to ME in 2024. She enjoys gardening, hiking, keeping honeybees, and attending local open mics with her ukulele and repertoire of quirky songs. She earned her RYT-200 certification from Frog Pond Yoga in 2000, a school based on the classical teachings of Raja Yoga and has attended yoga workshops over the years in many traditions with nationally known teachers. This class offers a drop-in rate of $20 or the option to use a class card. If you are not a class card holder and plan to pay for a drop-in class, please complete your payment before class.
Jen
Beginner Mat Pilates
Wednesdays 5:30 pm
Join us for a 4-week introduction to mat pilates. Over four weeks, we'll build a strong foundation in core stability, breath, alignment, and controlled movement. Each class welcomes both beginners and those looking to refine their practice. Jen found Pilates in 2009 after a back injury led her to search for healing when surgery did not provide the answers she hoped for. Through Pilates, she discovered not only strength and stability, but a deep respect for the body’s natural intelligence. Certified in STOTT Pilates since 2009, Jen’s approach emphasizes natural spinal alignment, breath, joint mobility, and mindful movement. She believes Pilates is not about forcing the body, but about listening to it—building strength, resilience, and confidence from the inside out. A lifelong learner at heart, Jen holds multiple certifications through ACE Fitness, including Certified Personal Trainer, Health Coach, and Youth Fitness Specialist, and is also trained in Kids Yoga. She brings a warm, accessible teaching style shaped by her work as an elementary school teacher, where curiosity, patience, and encouragement are at the center of everything she does. Outside the studio, Jen is an alpaca farmer, gardener, and herbal remedy enthusiast. She is also a travel lover and writer behind the blog Pastures to Palm Trees, where she explores the balance between grounded farm routines and expansive travel experiences. Jen believes we are all capable of living our best lives—through intention, goal setting, and compassionate movement. Her classes invite students to move with awareness, honor where they are, and trust in their body’s ability to heal, adapt, and grow. This class offers a drop-in rate of $20 or the option to use a class card. If you are not a class card holder and plan to pay for a drop-in class, please complete your payment before class.
