In-person class @ Northampton Municipal Park

Let’s enjoy the warmth of summer days. It’s time to lay down your Yoga mats outside in the park. Come and practice gentle vinyasa yoga flow for all fitness levels to give you energy and help you focus throughout your day. You will gain strength and flexibility in your muscles while having a strong mind-body connection. Each class will combine a balanced series of poses with a focus on opening up one of several potential areas of tightness, such as your hamstrings, hips, shoulders, or neck. A selection of restorative poses will support your body with props, so the muscles, fascia and nervous system get to take a break from the daily grind.  You will be reaping all these benefits while breathing the fresh air. You will get to enjoy the changing colors of leaves while you practice yoga.

This mat Pilates class is a combination of exercises developed by Joseph Pilates. The class will focus on stabilizing the core, improving posture, and strengthening the total body!

Utilizing props such as the Pilates ball, light hand weights, the Pilates ring/circle as well as many others keeps class interesting and ensures you’ll never take the same class twice! Don’t worry if you don’t have all the equipment. Just show up to the class the coach gives many options, and all the exercises can be done body weight. All fitness levels are welcome.
