On The Mat

Ahimsa is a Sanskrit term that translates to non-harming. It embodies a broader sense of compassion, empathy and respect; in thought, in speech and in action.

It’s a HUGE part of our yoga practice, or at least it should be.

How we show up on our mats, how we practice, how we speak to ourselves, and how we speak to and about others in our yoga community.

Kelly’s Monday night classes are almost always full, for few very good reasons; she is simply awesome.

Warm, friendly, skilled as a teacher, playlists that you feel in your toes…and those hands-on adjustments? Yes please.

Visit Kelly every Monday night at 8 pm for Yin Yang.

Ali’s 5 pm class will be taking a break on Friday, June 26th. She and approximately 90% of OTM’s teaching staff will be singing along to a dream playlist come to life; Blue Rodeo, Shaboozy…and the ICONIC Chicks.

Richard will reopen the studio at 9 am the next morning with Power Flow.

Thank you for your patience while we check a big item off our bucket lists.

Join Michelle on July 25 at 7 pm for a dreamy 90 minute workshop ALL about Yoga Nidra.

Nidra is a type of Non Sleep Deep Rest that guides you toward a state of profound physical relaxation.

Examine the practice in two parts; theory and the creation of a Sankalpla, and then enjoy the benefits in real time while Michelle leads you through a Nidra.
