I believe that Everyone can do yoga in some shape or form. Yoga is a vast toolbox, and there is at least one tool that will work for you! Let me show you.
All of my classes are online via Zoom. (See the link below.) I send out links the first day of the month. My links never change, so even old ones will work for you. If you would like to be added to my mailing list to receive links, email me at lesliewintergordon@gmail.com, or fill out your information in the sign-up form at the bottom of this page.
Private Yoga Sessions Available by Appointment. Contact me at lesliewintergordon@gmail.com. Private sessions offered via Zoom.
Weather Update
Here is my weather policy as we move into more unpredictable weather:
If I don’t have power at my house, we cannot have class, as I will have no internet and no Zoom. (There are some occasions where I may be able to move to my studio in New Britain, but that will be on a case-by-case basis.)
How will you know if a class is canceled?
1) I will send an email if possible via Mailchimp. This will depend on how severe the weather is in the area and if I can get to a place with the Internet (like Starbucks).
2) I will put a notice on the front page of my website. (Again, see conditions in #1.)
3) The most reliable way to know for sure if we are having class is to text me at 860-970-4944. Even if I cannot get to emails, the internet, etc. because of loss of power, I will usually have cell service.
4) If you live in Avon or surrounding areas and YOU lose power, this will be a strong indicator that I don’t have power either. Then we shall both sit in the dark and have our own practice! 🧘🏻
Yoga Class Descriptions
Yoga for Every Body—All Levels
These classes are mostly non-vinyasa which mean they move from posture to posture with longer holds. We have time to sink into postures, listen to our bodies and make adjustments and modifications to suit our individual and unique bodies. Special attention is given to alignment, safety and modifications for injury. Classes vary depending on the theme. A welcoming class for everyone. Every class is different based on YOUR needs!
Gentle Yoga and Gentle Therapeutic Yoga
Gentle stretching and strengthening yoga postures will be offered in this therapeutic practice for those with chronic injuries and conditions. If you have always wanted to join a yoga class but felt your condition disqualified you, this is your class. Everyone is welcomed, and modifications will be offered to make this class accessible to everyone. (Note: Gentle Yoga Plus will add a few extra challenges.)
Class Locations
All yoga classes are online via Zoom, except for occasional in-person workshops.
