Hello, friends!
We hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving Holiday, full of nourishing food, family, and friends.
With December approaching, we will be making several schedule changes at both studio locations. Please take note, spread the word, and know that you can always view the current class schedule and sign up for classes by clicking here.
First of all, exciting news! Effective this Thursday, November 30th, a new Stone Turtle Yoga teacher will be on the schedule. Please welcome Mary Dunsmore as she takes over R.E.S.T. Yoga on Thursdays at 5:30pm in Higgins Lake. Mary is a certified yoga instructor, Reiki master, and aromatherapist. We are so grateful and excited to have her on the teaching crew at STY. Her full bio is below; let’s give her a warm welcome!
Second, for several reasons including availability of the Gerrish township hall, we have decided to move the Saturday Empower Yoga class from Higgins Lake at 10:00am, to Grayling at 9:30am for the winter. It was a difficult decision, and while we hope that this comes as welcome news to many of you, we realize that this change, like most changes, may take some getting used to. Please know that we thought long and hard about this decision, with the conclusion that, in the long run, it will enable more consistency and quality of your yoga experience. This change will go into effect this week, with the first class in Grayling being this Saturday, December 2nd at 9:30am.
Third, effective December 4th, Mariah will be teaching Hatha Yoga on Mondays at 10:30am in Higgins Lake. Also, Please note that the following classes in Higgins Lake are cancelled:
Core Yoga at 9:00am on Tuesday, December 5th
Hatha Yoga at 10:30am on Monday, December 11th
All classes are cancelled on Monday, December 25th, Christmas Day
*Core Yoga at 10:00am on Tuesday, December 26th in Higgins Lake is ON with Lexi Bondar!
Finally, mark your calendars for a Disco Yoga Holiday Party! Join us at Paddle Hard Brew Pub on Friday, December 22nd at 6:00pm for party lights, dancey music, and a super fun yoga class. To celebrate Christmas, and to thank you for being the best darn yogis ever, this class is FREE! Bring your friends and enjoy a festive, fun atmosphere at the bar afterwards. We are so excited to celebrate the holidays with you!!
Meet Mary Dunsmore, the latest addition to the STY teaching crew! Here is her story. Check out her R.E.S.T. Yoga class on Thursdays at 5:30pm in Higgins Lake!
I was diagnosed with MS 15 years ago, and at that time was basically given a wheelchair sentence. I decided that wasn’t going to be my life, and turned to yoga. I took class several times a week and gained my mobility and flexibility back in a short few months. After a few years of yoga classes and much soul searching I knew I had to help others so I decided to become a certified yoga instructor. I trained under Master Yoga Teacher Instructor Darlene Daniels in Richmond Michigan at the Mind Body Fitness Studio. I taught gentle yoga at The Studio before moving to Luzerne full time in 2017. I’m registered with Yoga Alliance, and I’m also a Reiki Master and certified Aromatherapist. I’m very excited to become part of Stone Turtle Yoga!
Much love and Namaste,
-The STY crew
