Salt and Stillness

A New Chapter for Salt & Stillness

Beginning April 1, Salt & Stillness will be moving to a beautiful new space in Rockland, overlooking the harbor near the YMCA.

But until April 1, I will still be at my current location. No interruption of services!

This sweet peninsula will always have my heart — but to continue growing and serving clients from all across Midcoast Maine (especially through our long winters!), I needed a space that’s more accessible year-round.

The new location offers easy parking, room to expand into more yoga, breathwork, meditation, and specialty offerings — and the same deep exhale you’ve always known here.

And don’t worry — I’m not leaving St. George.
I’ll still be teaching at the gallery, and this season’s art shows will be fabulous as ever.

This isn’t goodbye.
It’s a widening of the circle. Plus now I can walk to Olive Rose Chocolates and Stone Alley Brewing after work :)

With gratitude,
Alexa

Meditation for compassion and kindness. Tomorrow and everyday ❤️🙏🏼

I wanted to share something close to my heart.

After a long and meaningful journey, my meditations are now live on Insight Timer. These practices come from years of personal practice, teaching, refining my voice, and trusting the timing.

They’re completely free, and I would truly love for you to listen, rest, and receive whatever support you need in this season.

How to find them (link in bio):

1) Download the free Insight Timer app (there is an amazing paid version as well but you don't need it to access my free tracks)

2) Tap the 🔍 search icon

3) Type in my name

Choose a meditation and get cozy. Please leave a review if you enjoy the practice. This allows me to continue to provide new tracks.

Have a peaceful day!

This picture reminded me that our minds spend only about half their time in the present moment. When they wander, they often turn toward negative thinking—a natural survival instinct. But living in constant defense is exhausting. It creates unnecessary stress, affects our immune system, and leads us into patterns that no longer serve us.

Valentine's Day? - who care what day it is... if we shift just a few mindful moments toward our heart every day, we help the way our brain reacts to negative thoughts. Stay open. Starting with your heart.

Bad News? - I will be closed on Saturday, Valentine's Day. I need to hang out with Jerry!

Good News? I am open on Sunday February 15th, a far more lovely way to make this a Valentine's Weekend.

You are busy all weekend? Fantastic. Gift Cards don't expire and can be used at your leisure. Hop on saltandstillness.com to purchase online or give me a call and I will hook you up with a paper card.

These pictures are from 7 years ago in Maryland. One is me (looking like a thug) on route to the spa to delivery a Giant Teddy Bear and the other is one of many dear clients that enjoyed spending time with the bear before their treatment. They popped up on my phone and always make me smile, hope you smile too!

Another shout out to Jan Dougal. Check out these beautiful and perfect pieces she made from
Sea glass and antique beads. Valentines Day anyone? ❤️

Head over to Hightides and Hayfields in St George to check them out! Or come take a yoga class and check out her display in our windows. 😍

Jan drop a comment to let them know more!

I wrote it on the whiteboard make space so that you can put your legs up the wall in a V. And I walk into this?

Thanks Jan Dougal for “styling our feet” ❤️❤️❤️

No matter how tired I am, how long (or wrong) the day has been, I never walk into class without finding a smile.

Love our Yogis and Yoginis

Raise your right hand if you would rather have Saturday class at 9 am instead of 8:30 am. You got it!

Cold and ice can’t keep these amazing Yogis away. It was a full house! AVITA will keep you young at the core. Body and mind.

But you still must wear your spikes and park at your own risk 😉

As Ann Snow said to me when I asked her to “be careful” - her reply “oh pleasssse, I’ve got spikes. Just don’t cancel class” ❤️❤️

Tuesday night 5:30 pm
Thursday 9 am
Saturday 9 am

Thank you for your dedication and never ending kindness. You make getting up early and cranking the heat so worth it ❤️ (ok once in a while maybe a blanket out of the dryer….heck I barely walk them over and they are cold already!)

Are you curious what types of things we work on in Avita Yoga? There are the glorious, body altering basics:
- Range of Motion
- Balance
- Bone Strength
- Fascia/Connective Tissue Health
- Neuromuscular Patterning
- Better Circulation
- and more but I’m sure your bored by now

How about the more lovely stuff:
- You practice with your eyes closed
- Breath work (you most likely over breathe…)
- Meditative moments that can lead you to better sleep, more focus, more clarity

Oh forget it, this could go on forever. Just try it and you be the judge. But don’t be judgmental because that’s not the yogic way. 😉

Ps - in this picture ….I decided we would not be working with our legs up the wall. But before class started, they all decided they wanted their legs up the wall so this is their version. I did not tell them to do this. But i must admit it is quite impressive.

And it takes a lifetime to care for those stories. Be patient and kind with yourself…as you create new stories. You’re worth it.❤️
