End of August whimsy ✨

It may be summer’s-end, but like some of you, we’re looking forward to a pace that’s a beat slower as we move into September. August was ~fast~ so we’ll be bringing extra steadiness to our schedule and routines with a few studio updates and events, all starting in September (aka tomorrow!). Didn’t receive our last newsletter with all the details? Pop onto the site and head to Upcoming Events 🪽

Hi friends, we’ve been quiet here in the digital space but quite busy tending to things IRL. Summer asks a lot from all of us, but we’re still here holding space for you to pause and breathe when things get too busy, heavy or loud.

A few updates to the schedule this week and beyond:

❌ NO Pilates mat this Saturday, 8/29
💪 Our regular Wednesday evening Pilates class will be moving to TUESDAY beginning next week, 9/1. Same time, 5-6pm.
🪷 Registration is OPEN for our Fall 2026 Yoga Philosophy Series - Bhagavat Gītā: A Retransmission. More info in our bio.
👗 Save-the-Date : We’re hosting a Clothing Swap! On Friday, Sept 25 the old becomes new in this fun community gathering. More info forthcoming.

That’s it for now! Hoping you’re all enjoying these late-summer days and golden evenings. See you soon 🌈

Did you know we live-stream our breath-based yoga class?

In an effort to make our classes accessible to those with schedule or distance challenges, we bring the studio to ~you~ every Tuesday in our private page. Sarah guides, Emileigh demonstrates, and you get to explore the benefits of gentle, intelligent movement in the comfort of wherever you are, anytime.

Don’t have an account? No problem - just send us a dm and we’ll share our YouTube link.

We gather in-studio twice a week - Tuesday & Thursday from 9-10:15am - to explore the meditative merging of breath and posture. Come try for yourself 🪽

“I miss you like air and water!” my friend exclaimed, referring to a small group of us who gather during the academic year to study yoga philosophy - and our own minds and hearts - together. A reminder how essential our human relationships are. As life-giving as water and air.

The little beach on Lake Myosotis, the source of the hamlet’s drinking water, located on a pristine nature preserve in this secluded corner of the world, has already been shut down twice this season due to unhealthy conditions. In June, we had a harmful algal bloom, and in mid-July wildfire haze made it unsafe to be outdoors. Many folks around here have the means to access safe drinking water and stay inside with air conditioning, but those benefits are not available to all people, and the creatures who live outside have no escape. Our temporary refuge is only illusory - ecosystem collapse spells disaster for all living beings, including even the most privileged humans.

When I was about eight, in the late ‘70s, a family friend burst into the room and began holding forth on the desperate state of the environment. I think she was exclaiming about the Arctic, although it could just as easily have been the Amazon, or our local lake; what sunk in was her vehemence that “nothing else matters if we don’t have a planet to live on.”

As a kid, this made a deep impression, and one way or another, I’ve been thinking about it ever since. Ṛtam is the concept of a natural order, a harmonic flow (it’s the root of our English word rhythm), and looms large in my mind as I consider how unbalanced life has become, both on a planetary and personal scale. Humans have disrupted that flow. As the basic need for air and water asserts itself, I pray we’ll understand and honor the inextricable link between peace, social justice, and environmental well-being.

When I summited my first Adirondack High Peak ten years ago, I was on fire, in my mid-40s, and newly divorced. Climbing mountains was a great way to channel all the energy coursing through my system. Since then, I’ve hiked 35 peaks over 4,000 feet tall (some more than once), which is a lot of mountains, a lot of miles, a lot of altitude, a lot of rocks.

I have eleven peaks left to climb to become a “46er,” but I had a more modest goal in mind this time, a beautiful place on earth that I walked right past last time as I headed for higher ground. As I pressed on past the cairn, I thought, this would be a great place to come back to someday. Bald Peak is spectacular, and a formidable hike in its own right - eight miles round trip, almost 3,000 feet elevation gain, including some steep rock faces to scramble up, and boasting all the benefits of a High Peak - great swaths of granite, expansive views of the endless Adirondack wilderness before us and Lake Champlain and Vermont’s Green Mountains at our backs. We found a spot protected from the gusty wind, took our boots off, and basked in the sunlight, eating cheese and crackers and fruit. This is perfection to me.

And not only that, the blueberries were ripe. Since we were taking a leisurely pace - no rushing up to bag Rocky Ridge, which isn’t that far as the raven flies, but for us two-leggeds, requires much up-and-downing (the heartbreak of the col!) - we stopped frequently to feast on the blueberries, small purple-black orbs, warmed by the sun… mountainside miracles.

I do hope I’ll get to Santanoni, Redfield, Panther, Seward, Marshall, Allen, Donaldson, Seymour, Emmons, Cliff, and Couchsachraga someday, but for now, I’m happy I got to stop and eat blueberries to my heart’s content on my way to a not-quite-so-high, but oh-so-beautiful wide open summit.

Regular schedule back in action! 🍦

We’ve got a lighter flow this season since summer is always overly jam-packed. So, we’ve adopted the KISS philosophy (Keep It Simple, Sweetie). 😘

Join us for the Summer Essentials to help you keep up with physical demands of the season:
☀️ Tuesday/Thursday breath-base yoga ~ mobility-enhancement, nervous-system regulation, and smooth, fluid postures that will keep you cool and collected.
☀️ Wednesday/Saturday Pilates mat ~ posture-supporting strength, muscular control, and ease-promoting flexibility.

Books are open for Ayurvedic body care and consultations, with some limited availability for private yoga & pilates instruction. Reach out for more info 🫧

The spell was broken at five o’clock, but until that time, once I had reconciled to canceling much-anticipated plans, the day was a perfect, timeless sequestration. I woke up feeling ill and gradually surrendered to the reality that I couldn’t do anything I’d planned. And then came rest and peace.

It was a magical day. I hadn’t eaten, and couldn’t, but I was content as I sank into my fatigue and discomfort, lying first on the floor, then the couch, moving in and out of an un-delineated sleep. Eyes closed, listening to the birds and the breeze; eyes open, looking at the play of light on the closed curtains. Just that was enough. In the afternoon, I read a Wendell Berry novel, drifting in and out of sleep. A stillness I could never manage on an ordinary day, but one my body required.

Normally, the mind is like a butterfly, flitting from one colorful thought-bloom to another. That day, my mind folded its wings and perched quietly on one delicate blossom, hour after hour. Not doing. Being.

The day shimmers in my memory.

Hoping you all enjoyed a festive and connective holiday weekend, celebrating what brings you a sense of freedom, gratitude, and belonging. We were delighted to spend it amongst friends, family and community, and are emerging into this new week heart-full (and maybe a teensy bit tired from all the festivities 🥳🌟).

A reminder that our classes are open to all, regardless of experience. Come explore movement, breath, and increased mobility in the heart of the beautiful Hilltowns. 🌲🌼⛰️
