Emily Garrett Yoga

Emily is taking a break from her Wednesday morning Underhill class as she focuses on building the Laughing River Yoga teacher training and spending more time with her son.  We are fortunate that an amazing Jivamukti teacher, Fletcher Boote, has agreed to teach the class until the end of March.  Please come (every Wednesday 9-10:30 am at 15 Poker Hill Rd) and experience thoughtful asana flows as you bathe in the vibration of Fletcher’s amazing voice.

There is nothing like the first snowfall to remind me of the magic in the air.  Although I have been known to complain about how cold Vermont is, the first snowfall always causes me to pause and relish in it’s beauty.  It’s quiet nature gives me time to reflect.  Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and the new moon, a wonderful time to reflect.  I was taught that gratitude lives in the heart and that through the practice of gratitude, at it’s deepest level, we can experience complete transformation.  To live this seems … Continue Reading
