I am always inspired by the support of this community, it is a remarkable gift and your unique presence is what makes Bodhi Tree a great place to be teaching. Thank you and welcome to 2023!
As we enter this year I would like to continue to make yoga as accessible as possible to you and others. You can share your experience at the studio and bring a friend to your favorite class as a guest. E-mail, ahead of time, it is as simple as that!

January Workshop
Saturday, the 21st 10:30am-12:00.
$30.00
Intro to Yin Yoga!
I have been teaching Yin for 7 over years and it is time to do this workshop! Let’s discover what Yin is all about.

This workshop will include the principals and the practice of Yin
The many physical benefits it provides
A community of connection between the mind and the body and what that means
Meridians briefly mapped, and handouts for a home practice from the most common poses worked on in class.

Props will be provided

Every day is a chance for a new beginning, there is never a wrong time to show up for yourself. There is never a wrong time to explore what you are capable of. Do it because it makes you feel good!

With a warm heart,
Shelley Stratton, RN

Nature has many scenes to exhibit, constantly repainting the landscape. Welcome to that change in December! I am very excited to continue this month with our practice through mindful movement and balance, and to keep us on track during the holidays to a greater awareness of our own well-being.
Starting Tuesday December 6th: Yoga with Weights for Healthy Aging
I will be incorporating Yoga with Weights into Tuesday’s 9am class, as this has been a request by many students.
Resistance training is intended to increase muscular strength and endurance. It involves exercising muscles using some form of resistance. This resistance could be weights, bands, or even your own bodyweight (as in yoga) working against gravity. Adding just small weights to your yoga practice will give you the opportunity to help build muscle mass and give you a challenge to your own practice. In our yoga class we practice through our own individual needs, and weights do not have to be used in every pose.
Friday December 23rd: Special Christmas Class 9am
Take this time to actively choose to gift yourself to this restorative practice. Put on some comfy clothes, your Christmas socks, a cozy blanket and a pillow or two, and join me in the warm and serene environment of the studio.
(This class takes the place of our Yin & Yang Class on this Christmas Eve day. No special pass is required.)

Stay informed and inspired with Bodhi Tree Yoga throughout the holidays.
Namaste,
Shelley Stratton, RN

November Newsletter

Change exists everywhere, although at times it can be overwhelming and yet at the same time be natural and beautiful, just as we are witness to these autumn days.
Reap the benefits during this season by being consistent with your yoga practice. Enjoy your brain-building benefits of reducing stress hormones, be consistent for your physical, emotional bodies and your mind.
Continue your walks outdoors as movement in nature is rewarding in many ways. Walking in nature also requires more muscle then a treadmill walk or run.
Start to create an inclusive sense of satisfaction and well-being within the fabric of your life as it is an on-going opportunity for self-care, rather than waiting for “something big” to feel good about.

November Workshop
Saturday the 12th: Yoga, Osteoporosis and Bone Strength. A focus on Fracture Prevention.
In studio 10am to 12
Open to everyone
$30.00
Reserve your mat with Momoyoga

The winner of “Our Great Pumpkin” contest was Susan, whose ticket of 16.2 pounds was exact, congratulations!
During this change of seasons I will be in studio early to make it comfortable for you. Please arrive at 8:45 to give me time to set up. On snow days please keep in touch with Momoyoga and your notifications of classes in case I cannot come down the mountain.
There are no classes on Thanksgiving Day.
Enjoy the upcoming holidays, be cozy with family and friends as you gather.
Serving with gratitude,
Shelley

This month is an opportunity for us to pause, to reconnect with ourselves, and to recommit to our practice.
Yoga helps us restore balance both physically, mentally and emotionally. I hope that your practice is calling you back to your mat at Bodhi Tree.

Debbie A. Is the winner for September’s prize for the evening of October’s Restorative Session.

The great pumpkin contest takes place this month as you guess the weight of the pumpkin, and receive 2 studio passes!

Strengthen Your Body and Restore Your Health! Our bodies were made to move, so sitting for extended periods of time can limit mobility and sabotage our overall wellbeing. Maybe you’ve heard the saying, “motion is lotion.” Movement helps keep our bodies feeling vibrantly alive, allowing us to keep doing the things we love to do.
Workshops coming this fall:
Oct 15th: Ankle Strength & Mobility
In this workshop we will explore exercises to help increase the range of motion of the ankles. We will also learn how to stretch and strengthen our ankles for balance and greater ease when walking. We will boost our performance in our yoga practice as well as all of our daily activities. Open to everyone.

November 12th: Yoga for Strength and Balance Training: Focus on Fracture Prevention
Like most of us, you may have become accustomed to thinking that only common weight-bearing exercises—walking, running, jumping, and lifting—provide enough stress on your bones to maintain or increase their density. Scientific studies have shown that yoga can prevent and reverse bone loss. We will practice yoga poses that will safely build and strengthen your bones. Open to everyone.

Thank you for connecting,

It is with a clear head and clear heart that we are able to find connection with ourselves. Movement is where we usually begin our yoga. It is during our quiet practices that we tap into our internal rhythm, growing into the best version of ourselves. Enjoy our Yin classes on Wednesdays at the studio as well as our upcoming special restorative events.
Get ready for the Beginners Class on September 14th
Beginning students often share common challenges such as physical limitations; tight hamstrings and tight hips, a weak back, and core. Join me as we develop a yoga practice for you or someone you know who has always wanted to start a class, this will be the best experience.

The studio is open on Labor Day and I will take off a few days after, please check the schedule and register at Momoyoga: https://www.momoyoga.com/bodhi-tree
Thank you for connecting,
Shelley
