Special Events

We invite you to join us for special events designed to strengthen your yoga practice and build community at UVY.

“Our breath is constantly rising and falling, ebbing and flowing, entering and leaving our bodies. Full body breathing is an extraordinary symphony of both powerful and subtle movements that massage our internal organs, oscillate our joints, and alternately tone and release all the muscles in the body. It is a full participation in life.” – Donna Farhi

Vinyasa Flow: Feed the Fund! A by-donation practice to fund our scholarship program

Hey hey, UVY is turning 14! 14 years ago Kat and Leslie taught the first class on Labor Day, at the Black Center in Hanover. People came, the class was free, a studio was born, and here we are! Join Leslie this Labor Day for a well rounded, feel-good flow class. The active part of the class will end at 10:15, we'll take a short break, and then offer an optional 15 minute guided, seated meditation for anyone who wants to stay.

This "by donation" class will use the proceeds to help re-build our Karma Fund. The Karma Fund is a scholarship fund created to ensure that everyone can come to yoga, regardless of ability to pay. Students inquire privately as to their eligibility, and then receive class credits so that they can take classes at our studio. It's a fabulous program but has dipped into the red due to demand. We periodically teach these by-donation classes so that together we can continue to make this a part of what UVY has to offer. Plus, yoga class on Labor Day! Cash or check only, and no amount is too small. All are welcome; sign up on the website to make sure you have a spot.

ACCOMMODATIONS:

The building itself was renovated to be energy efficient, and the room is moderately heated in cooler seasons to promote a good, healthy sweat, but not heated to an excessive or wasteful degree. There are cubbies in our large office to store your personal belongings, a spacious changing room, a comfy sofa and a water cooler (please bring a water bottle to fill, to cut down on paper cup usage). Two nice, clean bathrooms are located just down the hall. There are also cubbies in the studio itself for valuables, which students are welcome to use. We have a full lending library of yoga books, and encourage students to borrow freely. Gift certificates are available for purchase in any amount.

GUIDELINES FOR PRACTICE

Please do not wear perfume or any strong scent

People with allergies can be very sensitive to scent. Also, lots of people sweating in a closed space is less stinky than lots of people all wearing different brands of perfume or deodorant.

Wear comfortable clothing

Not so tight it binds, not so loose it gets in your way. And please do not wear clothes that “gap” and are inappropriately revealing.

Practice on an empty stomach

If possible, don’t eat at least three hours before practice. If you know that this isn’t possible for you, eat easily digested food one hour before class.

No food or outside beverages inside the studio

If necessary, bottled water is okay, but remember we are trying to generate internal heat; constant sipping cools the body. After practice, drink plenty of pure water.

Bring your own mat

Shared mats are not hygienic; you may borrow one from us if one is available, until you are able to purchase your own, but please clean it afterward with the mat wipes provided. Please understand mats may be borrowed on a first come basis….we have only a few to borrow, and do occasionally run out of them.

Keep your eyes on your own practice

The practice is richer when it happens from the inside out. It’s not about comparing yourself with the person next to you. Be present with your own experience.

Be kind and loving to yourself

Rest when you need to. Honor where you are in your practice. Use the energy of those around to inspire, not diminish, you. Remember: you are perfect just as you are now, and yoga is meant to enhance that understanding and let that perfection shine. Have fun!
