Welcome Back, Everyone & Happy New Year!
It’s so nice to welcome everyone back to class as we step into 2026 together. A new year offers us a fresh beginning—an opportunity to move with intention, breathe with awareness, and continue building strength, balance, and ease both on and off the mat. May this year support you in feeling grounded, grateful, and gently inspired.
Class Updates The website has been updated with the full winter schedule. Zoom links will be sent out Monday and Tuesday this week, so please keep an eye on your inbox.
December Coffee Meet-Up – Thank You! A big thank you to everyone who joined us for coffee at Fortino’s at the end of December. It was wonderful to see such a great turnout—and yes, the caution tape truly did its job reserving our section! Always a lot of laughter and good conversation.
—such a great memory.
Looking Ahead – New Focus for 2026 Part of our 2026 program will include opportunities and gentle activities to help you explore your gratitude journey throughout the year—if you choose to take part (and I truly hope everyone does). You’ll hear more about this in class over the coming weeks.
As many of you know, each year I like to introduce something new to keep classes fresh and engaging. This year, I’ll be adding more components focused on lymph drainage in most—if not all—classes.
What to Bring to Class Please bring a tennis ball or pickleball—any small ball that fits comfortably in your hand and can be gently tossed. Please note: toning balls are too heavy for this purpose.
