Meet Grace!

Starting December 4th, Grace Moreno will be teaching a moderate level class at Yoga Above Northampton!

Tuesdays evenings 7:15-8:15pm

Grace is a Yoga Instructor and Licensed Massage Therapist that recently moved to the Valley from Miami Beach.  She was certified in Miami Beach three years ago and has been teaching Vinyasa Yoga since.  Her classes  strive to bring people to new heights mentally, physically, and spiritually.   Each class is different and will be a product of the energy present in the room.  Her goal is to create a sequence that brings the class together and allows for everyone to share in a powerfully transformative way.  She does this through focusing on meditation, awareness of breath synchronized movements, and by refining postures as the class gains strength, inner power, patience and intuitive wisdom.   When each student taps into their own body’s rhythm, the yoga sequence then allows the body to tap into its full potential, the mind to stretch its boundaries, and the spirit to have the space needed to shine through.  

She looks forward to meeting you and sharing this enlightening practice.

Columbus Day

Meet Chris!

Chris Hamel has taught and will continue to teach sporadically at Yoga Above Northampton.

Chris is a Karuna certified yoga instructor who is currently undergoing an advanced teacher training at Karuna Yoga.His main teacher is Eileen Muir.He is inspired by teachers like BKS Iyengar who believe that yoga is an art to cultivate oneself for the intention of becoming fit to discover the light of the soul. After all, as Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj  said, 

"With deep and quiet breathing, vitality will improve, which will influence the brain and help the mind to grow pure and stable and fit for meditation. Without vitality, little can be done, hence the importance of its protection and increase. Posture and breathing are a part of yoga, for the body must be healthy and well under control, but too much concentration on the body defeats its own purpose, for it is the mind that is primary in the beginning. When the mind has been put to rest and disturbs no longer the inner space (chidakash), the body acquires a new meaning and its transformation becomes both necessary and possible."

Five Dollar Classes

Yoga Above Northampton classes will now cost $5.

Due to a struggle in making enough money to rent the Upstairs Studio space, we have changed our payment policy from donation classes to a fixed five dollars per class.  At this minimal price, students can still enjoy an affordable and welcoming yoga class while the teachers can feel secure in knowing that they won't be losing money.  If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at yogabovenorthampton@gmail.com

Hope to see you all soon!
