Join us for a serene practice to relax and rejuvenate. These poses are mostly done on the floor; supine, prone and seated; while holding the asana (poses) for about 2 minutes to elongate the deeper connective tissue for increased flexibility.
Yogalates is a combination of yoga and pilates, where you get the best of both worlds. Through simple exercises you will develop your strength, flexibility and stability which will contribute to a good posture and increase your body awareness.
Experience a rejuvenating session which includes about 20 minutes of Foam Rolling, 20 minutes of Gentle Yoga and 20 minutes of Restorative Yoga.
You will leave with a grounded mindset to conquer the day.
Hatha yoga places special emphasis on our breath, posture and balance. Building core strength, which is key to healthy posture, is another important aspect of this type of yoga. Hatha has hundreds of poses, including well-known ones such as Downward-Facing Dog and Standing Forward Bend.
We will craft an age-appropriate experience that teaches young minds how to decompress in a busy world. Presented in a child’s language, this style of yoga targets young bodies and yoga practitioners of all skill levels, enabling families to connect through meditation, breathing, and introductory poses.
Children are often exposed to the natural, hectic nature of their everyday lives, and yoga can teach them how to destress, find balance, and connect with their inner self at an early age. Fostering compassion and cooperation, this form teaches parents and children alike how to find calmness together.
You pick the day, you pick the time, and who will be joining your group! Choose your own practice, or mix & match up to 2 different styles per 60 minute session.
These one-on-session combine movement, and neuro-education techniques designed to improve focus, coordination, emotional regulation, and nervous system balance. Ideal for adults, teens or children experiencing stress, overwhelm, ADHD symptoms, or post-trauma response.

After my foot surgery in November, my doctor didn’t prescribe any physical therapy. As I started getting back to walking and moving in the spring, I began experiencing a lot of hip pain and stiffness. That’s when I discovered gentle yoga in Hopedale, MA, with Joan—and it has made such a difference. Her thoughtful guidance and gentle encouragement in our small group yoga classes have helped me regain flexibility and strength in ways I didn’t think were possible. Recently, during one of these classes, I was thrilled to touch my toes for the first time in a year! While I also practice at home, the private yoga sessions I have with Joan are incredibly valuable—she helps me move more intentionally and safely. I’m now excited to explore foam rolling classes that will complement my yoga practice. I’m so grateful for her support and expertise on this healing journey.

Plus, I'm looking forward to more of those private yoga sessions and the small group yoga classes, as well as incorporating foam rolling classes into my routine. -Mary M
