On The Mat

Join Kristie on September 22 for a 75 minute class that blends slow, relaxing shapes, conscious breathing, and hands-on acu-point release. This small group class will combine Restorative Yoga with Traditional Chinese Medicine to stimulate the body’s natural energy pathways, dissolve muscular tension, and promote deep rest.

Pre-registration is required.

We’re currently behind the scenes curating, planning, and shuffling things for the Fall. While we’re at it, tell us what you’d ideally like to see on our schedule this fall. We promise to do our very best to make it happen.

It’s August, and Kristie is back from her mini summer sabbatical.

She is famous around OTM for her signature smile, thoughtful approach, and the breadth of her sequencing.

Come see her every Monday at 6:30 pm for Restoration and Meditation, and every Friday morning at 9:30 for Vinyasa Flow. Look for her 4 part Moon Flow workshop on the schedule starting in early November.

You will never hear us complain about the heat, BUT that doesn’t mean we don’t get hot…you feel me?

The next time you’re overwhelmed by the temperature, and need to cool down, try Sitali breathing. Curl your tongue into a tiny burrito, and take a deep breath in through your mouth. Then close the mouth and take a long exhale.

This technique can also help soothe your nervous system during times of stress, and frustration.

We are starting to make small changes in preparation for the Fall schedule.

Welcome Michelle to Wednesday nights at 8 pm for Yin, and welcome BACK Anna to the schedule, every Thursday night at 6:30 for Hot Stone Restorative, starting on Thursday, August 27.

Join Leanna and Kristie on Saturday, September 19 at 12:30 pm for a slow and warming yin inspired class with double the hands-on assists. For 90 minutes, melt and meditate in each shape with gentle hands-on assists from both teachers. Leave feeling nourished and relaxed.

This workshop is capped at 25 students, and pre-registration is required.

Our studio walls have been well loved, with sweaty hand and foot prints, condensation, and lots of laughter…and they desperately need a fresh coat of paint. To help facilitate this refresh, OTM will be closed on Saturday and Sunday, August 15 and 16, and will re-open with Robin’s Vinyasa Flow on Monday, August 17 at 9:30 am. Thank you so much for your patience.
