Lighter Side Yoga

Hi Everyone, Virtual I AM Yoga Nidra™ is back this coming week. I hope you can join me tomorrow night (Mon. Feb 23rd at 7pm) for this beautiful practice. Send me a DM or an email to lightersideyoga@gmail.com and I'll forward you the Zoom link. And if you're local and would like an in-person class, I'll be at Broadneck Library on Tuesday the 24th at 6pm. I think the weather will be cleared out by then (here's hoping). Even this Buffalo gal has had it with the snow...! 🥶☃️Stay safe and warm out there! Namaste

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are staying safe and warm during this winter storm. For my Tuesday at the Library yogis, I'm not sure we will have class tomorrow night so I'm including you as well. If you are interested in receiving the link, please send me a DM with your email or cellphone and I'll forward it to you.

Hope to see you tonight at 7pm EST-link below. I'll have my pj's on (who am I kidding-I haven't taken them off in two days..LOL)
Stay safe!
Namaste,
Joan

Hi Everyone, Yoga Nidra is back this week. I hope you can join me for this beautiful practice.

(Tonight!)Tuesday, Sept 23rd at 6pm: Free Yoga Nidra at Broadneck Library. This is a live, monthly class held at Broadneck Library (1275 Green Holly Dr, Annapolis, MD 21409). Come early to ensure your spot (check-in opens at 5:45pm), and pre-registration isn't required. Wear something comfortable (layers are good as it gets cool in there), and bring a yoga mat, a pillow and a blanket for comfort. An eye pillow or something to cover your eyes is also suggested as we have to keep some light on in the room. I'll also have some props as well for you to use. Hope to see you tonight!
