Spring is here! Revitalize your body and mind in this four-week yoga workshop, held each Tuesday night in May at the Nature’s Closet on Spring Street. We will review the basic yoga asanas (poses), explore a few “flow” sequences, do some pranayama (yoga breathing techniques) and try a bit of meditation. Renew your energy, bring strength and flexibility to your body, and let go of stress as you explore the beauty of yoga.

About Yoga Instructor MARY EDGERTON:

I currently teach yoga at Williams and really enjoy working with this group of intellectually curious, engaged students! I lived in the UK with my family for the past eight years, did my yoga teacher training there, and taught yoga in London for several years until we relocated back to the US. I love being back in the Berkshires in a community of such active people. Yoga has impacted my life in a powerful way – no matter where I am, it makes me feel grounded, clear-headed, strong, and flexible. I love sharing this dynamic practice with my students!

Meet at store during the Salomon Shoe and Smith Optics trunk show, May 12, noon to 5:30 pm.

Get a personal fitting on Salomon shoes (or bring your own!) and pick up your maps to join us for a Fun Run.

We will leave from the store at 5:30 pm, so get there early for your fitting!
