Dear Yogis,

Happy Spring 2022! Next week will be my only week of teaching (via Zoom) in this month of April due to an extended trip to the beautiful country of India! Then, starting May 2nd, I will return to teaching in person at Essence Studios (formerly know as Hope Garden Ballet) in Poolesville for our Monday/Wed 9-10am vinyasa yoga class. The class is $15 per class and will continue through June 23rd. Please come and try out this beautiful new space for your yoga practice! It will be so nice to practice together again in person. Remember to bring your yoga mat, a yoga block and a yoga strap Masks are not required. And feel free to bring a friend. The classes are open to everyone.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Below are the links for my Zoom classes. My Poolesville Senior Chair class every Wednesday at 11am will remain on Zoom until further notice.

Looking forward to seeing you on the virtual mat next week or in person in May.

Namaste,
Twyla Insalaco

It's a hard decision to make but I have decided to continue teaching our yoga classes virtually using Zoom. With the ongoing pandemic and my small enclosed studio space, I feel that virtual classes are the safest way for us to practice yoga at this time.

The Monday/Wednesday yoga classes from 9am-10am and the Wednesday chair yoga class from 11am-12pm will resume September 8th. Unfortunately I can no longer teach the Tuesday evening yoga class. (Apologies to my Tuesday evening people).

Below are the Zoom links to the morning yoga classes:

Since they are virtual, the classes are free. You are welcome to share the invite with friends and family. Just let me know if you do so I will recognize them in the Zoom waiting room and admit them to the class. See you on the virtual mat next week. Happy Labor Day.

Namaste,
Twyla Insalaco

Dear Yogis ,

It's finally 2021! Let's go gently into the new year with some virtual yoga. Starting this week we will still be Zooming our yoga classes due to this darn pandemic but that's ok. We can keep our mind/body/breath connections going strong even if we have to practice virtually. Below are the current Zoom invitations to join the class. They are the same as last month's invitations. The classes are free and open to all who wish to participate.

Happy Namaste Year!

Dear Yogis,

The cast is off, the mat is rolled out and the mind, body and soul are ready to do yoga. For now some of the poses will need to be modifies for me such as Downward Facing Dog and Chatarunga but that doesn't mean you have to modify! I will instruct the class with both ways of doing these poses.

We will begin on Monday, October 26th via Zoom invitation below. And all classes are FREE until we return to in person classes. Just the best way to do this. Invite anyone who you think will benefit from our practice as all are welcomed:

The universe has changed my plans for the next few weeks! I won't be able to start back at teaching yoga as planned due to a bike accident yesterday that left me with a broken wrist. I will see the doctor next week and have a better idea of when I can resume our practice. Will be in touch soon, Namaste, Twyla

Dear Yogis,

It's been a while since we've practiced yoga together. We will start again with the Tuesday evening class after Labor Day, on September 8th. We will still be practicing using Zoom. I feel it is the best way to keep us all safe for now. There will be a small fee of $10 per class. You can either send it to me in the mail at 17911 Hickman Street, Poolesville MD 20837, or use PayPal . You can pay as you go or pay for as many classes as you would like in advance.

Here is the schedule for the Fall and Winter with the Zoom invites for each class.

Monday. 9-10am Vinyasa Yoga: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85411166529

Monday 11-12am Chair Yoga: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85134447301

Tuesday 7:15-8:15pm Vinyasa Yoga: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/212096141

Wednesday 9-10am Vinyasa Yoga: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81420054828

When you Zoom with me please have your yoga mat (of course) and some yoga blocks, a strap and a yoga bolster or pillows. We occasionally use these props for the Vinyasa class but may use them also for the Chair class. And for the Chair class please use a chair without armrests. It will allow you to move easily from side to side.

Please let me know if you have any question or concerns. Look forward to seeing everyone on the virtual mat!

Dear Yogis,

We will have yoga this Monday though it is a holiday (MLK day) and the schools are closed. Please come and practice with me if you can.

Also, please note that for now there is no Friday morning yoga class. The present yoga schedule is:

Monday/Wed 9am-10am
Tuesday 7:15pm-8:15pm

Fridays usually are for make-up or "pop-up" classes. I will always send an email to let you know.

See you on the mat next week!
Namaste,
Twyla
