July Dates & MoreThank you to all the brave morning yogis and yoginis who joined us for our 108 Sun Salutations last Saturday. Today Tony and I brought over 300 pounds of food item donations to the Open Pantry in Springfield, and we are proud to announce that we were able to generate nearly $400.00 for the Give Back Yoga Foundation's first ever national fundraising event!
Heartsong Yoga Rocks!!
Happy July 4th, even if the rain never stops, it is a chance to enjoy a holiday celebration to kick off the summer, and an opportunity to chill out with family and friends.
Our Holiday Schedule is as follows:
No class on Friday night, July 3
No classes at all on Saturday, July 4, through Monday, July 6.
Classes will resume as regularly scheduled on Tuesday, July 7.
Classes remain the same this summer, the only class cancelled is the Wed. 3:30 class, which resumes in the fall. Remember, our studio is air conditioned and comfortable all summer long, except of course for the Ashtanga classes, they are hot all year long!

Ashtanga Yoga Second Series Specialty ClassMonday, June 29, 7:30 pm

This specialty class has been developed by Michelle Ryan, who will be coming out to Heartsong once a month to offer this class. It is targeted specifically for students who practice the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga already and would like to learn the second series postures in a workshop style. She will lead the students in learning how to develop each posture as well as the modifications for individuals. The group will cover as many postures as there is time for! (Look for this class in the fall at a new day and time.)

Yoga Nidra with Jane Anable |  | |
Thursday July 2, also August 6
(Always the first Thurs. of each month) at 7:30 pm
$15.00 for all, Drop ins always welcome.
Yoga Nidra is the name of the deep relaxation led at the end of every yoga class. This workshop with Heartsong's senior teacher Jane Anable will expand on the practice, giving you the chance to experience a powerful yoga technique for deep rest.
Yoga Nidra is a Sanskrit word which can be translated as yogic sleep or sleep of the yogis. It is an ancient tantric practice which systematically induces complete mental, physical, and emotional relaxation. We lie on our backs and systematically move our awareness to different parts of the body, practice specific breathing techniques, and use guided imagery. Through this process the subtle energy channels are completely revitalized. In this session, we will dedicate a short period of time to Sankalpa, which is intention. We will sow the seeds of change in the mind and create a deeply relaxing state in which those seeds may grow and create change in our lives. Yoga Nidra is helpful for stress reduction, insomnia, fatigue, depression and anxiety as well as general well-being.
