Just wanted to touch base and send a message about what’s going on yoga-wise with us. Between teaching couples yoga in Manayunk and Gentle yoga in Mt Airy, I’ve also been visiting plenty of local yoga studios (as a student). It’s refreshing to be the student sometimes…. it’s nice to have someone tell you what to do in class instead of directing everyone else………

I’ve attended Aerial Yoga at Fishtown’s Amrita’s Yoga… the most stunning yoga studio you will ever visit…. (and I’ve been to hundreds)….. feels like the Four Seasons designed that space.

Also went to Katrin Elia Yoga on the Main Line a few weeks ago….. Restorative yoga plus Marma point therapy…. heavenly.

Purenergy yoga in Paoli just opened up…. their Aerial classes are also high on my “to visit ” list.

The yoga I am most excited about this Spring is Namas Day though.

Namas Day is the creation of Philly Area Yoga, Philadelphia’s premiere online yoga and wellness resource.

The festival is another way that we strive to bring together the yoga community and share the incredible local talent.

They represent the community as a whole and are not affiliated with any studio or organization – they are independent and inclusive of everyone, every studio, every teacher, and every style, whether you want to jump around and sweat in a sweaty vinyasa workshop or want to be gentle and restorative in a yin class or Thai Massage.

This year’s event will involve a full day yoga workshops and master classes delivered by local instructors and wellness professionals.

It’s taking place at:

WHYY Building
Independence Mall West
150 N. Sixth Street

These are the workshops I plan to take… never seen acupuncture combined with poses before. I’ve taken Shawn Declue’s Thai Massage workshop before so I know this will be delicious. Never taken a goal setting workshop at a yoga event so that should make it a more transformational event.

Smart Goal Setting 101 led by Brittany Wallrath

Thai Yoga Massage led by Shawn Declue

Finding the Yin Within: A Yin Yoga and Acupuncture Experience led by Alice Dommert, Christopher Coan, and David Schiman

WHYY Building
