Yoga This Week!

Posted on January 14, 2019 by Jackie, The Baseball Bloggess

Will there be a Downward Dog today?

Let me answer your biggest question first …

YES! There will be class tonight at Peaceful Hands Yoga at our regular times …

4:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

The main roadways, along with most secondary roads, are clear and so is the studio parking lot. That said, I know that some of you might have issues on your driveways or side roads. If you’re not sure about your roads or are uncomfortable being out this afternoon … then please stay in and unroll your mat at home!

The aftermath of bad weather affects us all a little differently. I try to make the best decision for the class … but I rely on you to make the best decision for you.

Join us if you can. If you’re in doubt, don’t come out!

And, a couple other quick things …

Our first Saturday morning practice of this session will be this SATURDAY, JANUARY 19 at 9:30 a.m.

And, our next Meditation Practice will be SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3 at 4:00 p.m.

Questions and such? Email me at jackie@peacefulhands.com

And, you’ll find general class info, including studio directions, here.

I hope to see you on the mat soon!

Snowfully Yours, Jackie

Meditation Practice On Sunday, January 6

Posted on January 4, 2019 by Jackie, The Baseball Bloggess

There is a beautiful energy that fills a room whenever people sit in quiet together. You can just feel it sparkle all around and through you.

But, that’s not all. There are also profound and proven health benefits, too.

Stress reduction. Improved heart health and blood pressure. Hormonal balance that can improve sleep and metabolism (even better than dieting!). And, brain boosting through improved mental clarity, memory (even helping ward off age-related “brain fog”), and better concentration.

Sounds nice, doesn’t it?

That’s all science. But, all the science in the world can’t describe how “new” you can feel after practice … even if it’s your very first time.

Join me this Sunday for a mindfulness meditation practice and feel it for yourself.

First, let’s wrap up the Holiday session. The final classes of 2018 are this week on Monday and Wednesday, 12/17 and 12/19. We’ll be off Christmas week.

Yes! There IS Class Tonight At Peaceful Hands Yoga.

Posted on December 10, 2018 by Jackie, The Baseball Bloggess

Is there Yoga class tonight (Monday, December 10) at Peaceful Hands Yoga? Let’s ask beloved actor Neil Patrick Harris …

That’s a “thumb’s up” from Neil.

It’s never an easy call. Trust me, deciding on whether we have class when weather intervenes is one of the least-fun parts of having a Yoga studio.

BUT … the main roads between Madison and Orange are clear. Roads in the town of Orange are clear. And, the parking lot at the studio has been cleared.

SO … YES! … we ARE going to have Yoga classes tonight at Peaceful Hands Yoga.

As always, if you’re concerned about your drive, don’t stress. Unroll your mat at home. But, I’ll be at the studio — I’ll have it toasty warm — and if you’re able to join me tonight, please do.

Yoga Update, Wildlife Center News, & Thanksgiving Blessings Galore …

Posted on November 18, 2018 by Jackie, The Baseball Bloggess

A few reminders from Peaceful Hands Yoga …

** There will be no Monday/Wednesday classes with Jackie at Peaceful Hands Yoga Thanksgiving week. Classes resume on Monday, November 26.

** Our upcoming Open House/Yoga Class benefit for the Wildlife Center of Virginia is more important than ever!

On Thursday, the Wildlife Center suffered significant damage from the severe ice storm that hit the East Coast. As of Sunday morning, they are still without power (and have no back up generator).

Some of the damage: Continue reading →

Fall Session Wraps Up. Holiday Session Begins (Soon).

Posted on November 4, 2018 by Jackie, The Baseball Bloggess

OK … let’s get our Peaceful Hands Yoga schedule straightened out. Four things …

NUMBER ONE

Our FALL session has been extended and will run through this week – Monday, November 5 and Wednesday, November 7.

Don’t forget to bring paper grocery bags to help the Wildlife Center of Virginia feed their bear cubs. (More info on that can be found here.)

NUMBER TWO

Our HOLIDAY session will begin next Monday, November 12.

It’s easy to get “too busy.”

It’s all you can do to just hang on sometimes.

But, just think of what Yoga gives back to you if you make a little time for it – renewed energy; a more supple and stronger physical body; improved immunity, circulation, and respiration; a refreshed mind; and that vital reconnection of mind to heart. Continue reading →

No Yoga Tonight 10/31 ~ Here’s Your Homework

Posted on October 31, 2018 by Jackie, The Baseball Bloggess

Sorry folks, there will be no class again tonight (Wednesday, Oct 31) at Peaceful Hands.

We’ll extend this session through next week and start a shortened Holiday session the following week that builds in a bonus class. More details on all that soon.

In the meantime, I’ve asked these skeletons of 1929 to lead you through a Halloweeny vinyasa …

If you know of anyone who might not get this email in a timely fashion … could you let them know for me? Thank you for your understanding!

Spookiciously Yours, Jackie

No Class Tonight — Monday, Oct 29

Posted on October 29, 2018 by Jackie, The Baseball Bloggess

Argh! I’m very sorry but I must cancel class tonight unexpectedly.

Just to make things easy, I’m not going to extend the session … instead, I will make sure that the Holiday Session includes a bonus class for everyone to benefit us all!
