	author: Leslie Carleton \| 30 May 2019 Summer Preview Burnout can be sneaky. A friend recently mentioned that we were both perhaps exhibiting symptoms. My first reaction is, how ridiculous! I'm a yoga instructor—we don't burn out! But the truth is, we all burn out, at some point or another, if we don't recognize our own unique needs for self care and rest. Teaching yoga is immensely fulfilling, and also tiring. Running a business, even more so. There is a lot of late-night worrying in running a business: how to stay afloat, how to meet t. . . Read more
	author: Elisabeth Gardner \| 1 May 2019 May! Meet Elisabeth Gardner I grew up in the Upper Valley in the 60s-80’s, left to travel, marry and have kids. During my time away I experienced the death of both parents, my marriage and my early careers as a waitress and environmental educator. Twenty seven years later I’ve returned and am deeply enjoying my reconnections here. As I walk around and marvel at the changes (White River Junction is now cool!), I am often surprised by memories that feel so contradictory to the 55 yea. . . Read more

I took a hiatus from teaching public classes to have my now 16 month old son, Bear, wrap up my PhD, and grow the LoveYourBrain Yoga program. Some of you may of heard about Read more
	author: Leslie Carleton \| 8 April 2019 The Bird at the Window The other night, I kept waking to a strange sound, and assumed it was a branch repeatedly hitting the window in the loft, from the ash tree behind the house. When I continued to hear it the following day, my husband climbed up for a look and found a robin hurling itself, over and over again, against the glass. Seeing its own reflection, we assume he/she thought they saw a rival, and was simply defending territory, possibly a nest in the branches. We draped a towel over the window to . . . Read more
	author: Christina Micalizio (Tangredi) \| 20 March 2019 Stories from the Noon Crew: Christina Stories from the Noon Crew: Christina (Noon Flow, Wednesdays) I was introduced to yoga 13 years ago and have been practicing consistently ever since. I took my first Ashtanga led primary class a little over a decade ago and was mesmerized by the strength and control that the practitioners demonstrated as they moved gracefully from one pose to the next. They were fully embedded, wholly involved in the practice – I was completely drawn in. Dai. . . Read more

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!
