Encouraging Connection

September Schedule

//  by 

What will be different about this fall? 

  • Evening classes Monday-Friday
  • The early morning Rise & Shine on Wednesdays returns!
  • Expanded options for Gentle Yoga – now Chair Yoga is an option for those who are more hesitant to get on the floor. 
  • Barre will begin after Labor Day to help diversify our intensity levels

Our teaching team has been working diligently to listen to your needs and help you find the style and pace of yoga that your body welcomes. While Slow Flow is taking a break as Traci gets her classroom back in order, you’ll see it again in the future! 

Studio News: June 14

  • Returning from Survival Mode

My study of yoga, along with my work with Mind Body Health Associates, has taught me a lot about stress. We have two sides of our nervous system that is used in our management of stress, the part that keeps us alert and alive (sympathetic nervous system) and the part that keeps us whole and integrated (parasympathetic nervous system).

When our stress system is triggered, humans have a myriad of ways to deal, anything from Quarantine Baking to Netflix binging. What we need to know is that survival strategies serve us for a particular reason, so say a little Thank You to your body and brain. Survival is a perfectly good way to… survive. And what we’ve endured collectively has been something we’ve survived.

When we watch tigers in the wild (or, more accurately, as Dr. Peter Levine explains in Waking the Tiger), we can note particular behavior as it comes back from stressful, life-endangering situations. It shakes and moves its entire body. It licks their wounds and tends to its body. It nourishes itself with food and water. It falls into a deep sleep.

This transition from stress to relaxation can be a slow one, and often it needs to be quite purposeful to be effective. The best tools are already within: a slow exhale, a calm mind, and moving the body.

As we slowly shift out of our survival response, many of us might find our yoga practices to be leading us there. Eventually, we will recognize we are safe and can begin to relax, rest, and synthesize this experience to make us stronger and healthier.

For me, I’m just now feeling like I’m resuming “normal” and I notice how I’m finally able to start planning again. Did anyone else notice how calendars were worthless back in April? And not just in the day-to-day monotony, but in my brain’s lack of ability to think clearly about the future. With the studio now open and new activities coming onto the calendar, that part of my mind is finally coming online, too. I’m glad to be able to share with you again the hope of new events and classes in the studio. I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Pose & Pour

Wednesday, June 17, 6:30 PM

at White Shutter Winery & Brewery

Registration is available online but not required.

Gift Card Giveway!

Our universe is constantly being created and recreated – just look out into those fields full of green sprouts. As an act of remembering, I’m doing a gift card giveway this summer. Every time we’ve got a full class in the studio, we’ll celebrate. Each person in the class will get to pull a gift card out of the pile that gets you $5-$15 from our favorite downtown Upper Sandusky small businesses.

So grab a group of friends and show up together! Fill the room (which, right now, means just 6 people!)

New Teacher + Classes!

Longtime regular yogi, Toni Daughenbaugh, is joining Woven Yoga as an instructor beginning July 1. Toni recently finished her 200-hour certification and is looking forward to teaching Gentle Yoga twice a week: Mondays at 10 AM and Wednesdays at 4:30 PM.

Tell me your opinion

In a string of days that tend to feel eerily similar to the one before, I’ve found a bit of solace in allowing myself to think about after. After we get to return, after this is behind us (-ish… there will be some reverberations, and that’s to be expected.) I’m allowing myself to think about a schedule for the remainder of the spring and into the summer. 

In order to do this with the most accurate information available to me, I’m asking you for a quick 5 minutes to tell me about your preferences. I’d like to know when classes work best for you, what types of classes you enjoy most, and what your experience of livestream yoga has been. 

I truly appreciate your voice in these matters. While I know I can’t make all people happy, if there are themes and trends that help many of us, then I want to make those adjustments. As always, if there’s something you’d love to see over the course of the summer, let me know!

Healthy at hOMe Yoga

During these times of limited social interaction (and thus closing the studio), I’m working very hard to offer digital options that will serve our membership base along with offering something for other yogis to practice while at home for the days and weeks ahead.

On Sunday, March 15, our first Livestream All-Levels Flow will be available for free to try out the platform. Join us online at 6 PM at https://zoom.us/j/987452188 (no password is required). I highly recommend jumping online prior to 6 to get yourself settled. You should be automatically muted, but it doesn’t hurt to double check.

Beginning Monday, March 16, I’ll be offering a livestream class of various sorts each day. These classes are for purchase and you’ll be emailed the login and password information at least one hour prior to the class. If you can’t make it at that exact time, the class will be recorded and you will be sent a link to view at your convenience. The link should be sent within an hour of the end of class.

Each class is listed on the regular schedule via Vagaro and you can register a la carte, but to be more cost-efficient you can get them all as a package for just $20. *You will need to register for each class individually for which you want to receive links.*

For ALL MEMBERS (whether unlimited, 4 classes/month or 8 classes/month): these online offerings are now included in your membership. When you register online it should ring you to $0. If you have issues, please don’t pay – email or text me.

Our first week’s online schedule is:

Monday 9 AM Guided Meditation (20 minutes) – $5 or included in the weekly package

Tuesday 6 PM Yoga Strong (60 minutes) – $10 or included in the weekly package

Wednesday 10 AM Children’s Yoga (30 minutes) – $5 or included in the weekly package

Thursday 6 PM All-Levels Flow Yoga (60 minutes) – $10 or included in the weekly package.

I’m going to evaluate at the end of the week to see if schedule changes are advantageous or necessary. Feedback is always welcome and appreciated!

Administrative Note:

A signed waiver is required to participate in the livestream options. If you’ve practiced with me before and have filled out your form, you’re all set. If you’ve not been in the studio, please fill out this waiver and email it back prior to class beginning.
