Join Yoga Odyssey’s birth doula and yoga teacher Meg for a prenatal workshop geared toward birth itself — learn how to bring yoga into your birthing experience. Join us for this educational and integrative workshop.

This workshop will help integrate everything you’ve learned in yoga into the birthing room, and it will aim to help moms who have never stepped foot into a yoga class gain great insight into how breath work and movement are birth’s best medicine.

This workshop is not just for the birthing person but also their partner. (Partners can join for an additional $20.) Bringing your partner is not essential, but it is so very helpful to have your main support person taking in the many ways to support you through birth.

Sunday, March 17, 2024 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
$45 (one person) or $65 (with partner)

Come join Yoga Odyssey staff in a fun vinyasa class led by Meg Saucy, focussing on basic poses and accompanied by our amazing friend Kevin Allen (aka khordmaster) on our studio piano. Snacks and drinks to follow.

Alignment refinement is a workshop designed to offer teachers and students an opportunity to evolve their practice to meet the modern body. We know the practice of Yoga dates back thousands of years. The postures and teachings live on with so much benefit, BUT!!! Even though fitness science and research has evolved to compliment the western human body, the traditional physical practice of yoga does not always meet our cultural physical needs. This workshop aims to give the yogi and teacher tools to meet our bodies where they are instead of forcing our bodies into a posture that may or may not be benefiting us. It will challenge and myth bust some of the common misalignments in our body so that we may create a practice that sustains us and prevents us from injury in all yoga classes.

Yoga Odyssey is excited to participate in  Somerville’s Girls Night Out by offering sunset yoga to the wonderful ladies of our community.

For $15 you may pick up your general admissions wristband at the studio any time after 4:00pm, leave your mat in a safe cubby in our space, enjoy the various events offered for the evening,  then pick up your mat and meet us at the court yard lawn at 7:30 for a nice evening flow with Nancy Mackey. This class will be structured for all levels. 

Chakra Tuning Workshop

2.5-Hour Yoga Intensive
1-hour Class Lecture

Yogic traditions teach that the human body has seven main energy centers called chakras. These chakras relate our experiences to different body parts like your organs, nervous system and senses.

Purify your chakras in our upcoming workshop with Sandy Marotta. Move through a series of yoga poses sequenced according to the chakra system. Different yoga poses, breathing exercises, meditations and chanting correspond to each chakra. By practicing yoga in this way, you not only enhance your health and energy levels but also progress along the spiritual path. The chakra system helps a yogi to examine the root cause of physical, emotional and mental challenges. Set your intention high, change your perception and discover your true nature.

Improve your swing, steady your focus, reduce your handicap and prevent injuries using…yoga? That’s right: Yoga postures make you more aware of how you move your body. Join us on your mat, and we’ll show you the yoga poses, breathing techniques and mindfulness exercises that will up your golf game.

Explore a different side of yoga in our Pop-Up Yoga Nidra class this Sunday. 

Yoga Nidra is a meditation done lying down, so it’s accessible to anyone. The various steps induce the hypnagogic state, a dream-like trance between being awake and asleep. Old patterns and repetitive thoughts will become apparent during this time. As you release them from your subconscious mind, you’ll emerge feeling integrated and whole.
