Under the yoga tree at Women’s Hope

Last Thursday’s yoga class at Women’s Hope was held outside under the beautiful tree that graces the outdoor deck. It’s such a treat for all to enjoy a beautiful summer day in New England and share in the practice of yoga. We had familiar faces in the class and a group of ladies that have been interested & dedicated to attending class week by week while residing in the house. Class focused on standing poses such as mountain, warrior I and II, side angle, tree, variations of standing balances, twists, core and a long savasana. One of the ladies in class stated she will be attending one more yoga class then completing her stay in the house. She stated how much she enjoyed the yoga classes and truly looked forward to continuing her practice when she leaves the house. In the two years of teaching at WH, I’ve seen many women attend the yoga classes. The asanas may be different, the faces different, but one thing has remained the same. Hearing the repeated words from the ladies of continuing yoga, staying sober and getting healthy. Thank you Mary for your wonderful assists & presence.  -Kat Larsen, RYT
