Each class is adaptive and taught to the audience present with a lot of space for personal inquiry and by default trauma and neurodivergence informed. Choice is presented with each pose and sequence to allow participants the options to dial it up or tone it down depending on what is being offered. We do not offer hands on assists unless asked so teachers stay mostly on their mat and typically do not walk around the room.
Some classes with Aline are video and audio recorded. Only the teacher is visible however if you are near the camera your likeness or voice maybe be recorded. Please see our Terms & Conditions on recorded classes.

Please bring your own yoga mat, we do have a few loaners if you forget one but they are not guaranteed to always be available.

Multiple Locations
In 2024 by way of nature pushing us onwards we ended up adding a second location in downtown Sandy Hook!
-
The address says South Main Street but our driveway entrance is located off of Elm Drive and Elm Road. Our original studio space located in the old MacKenzie Engineering building refurbished to look like a big red barn. It’s been many things and the yoga center has been there since 2017. We are in the ground floor of the building under Divine Dogs grooming. Parking is located in our lot across from the studio entrance. You’ll see a big maple tree and the yard connecting us to Carminuccios pizza. Parking is only in our lower lot, the upper lot is available after working business hours during the week and on Sundays.

6 Glen Rd is at the heart of downtown Sandy Hook. Originally Sandy Hooks first firehouse the foundation of the building began in 1790. The upstairs where the studio now is used to be the Ball Room and held many local family celebrations and parties.
Parking for our building is across the street in public parking and is first come first serve.
Our steps to the 2nd floor are in the very front of the building on the left. We are upstairs from Strength & Grace boutique and on the opposite side of Castle Hill Chocolate.

You’ll want to have your own yoga mat and bring it. We have a couple of loaners here but there is no guarantee one will always be available. We strongly encourage you remember to bring your mat, for lots of reasons: germ theory being number one, your yoga mat is your personal space, arriving with it is showing up ready for practice and the first step in mindfulness.
-
Stretchy pants or shorts, t-shirts or tank tops, we always encourage wearing layers as body temperature will fluctuate depending on the practice.

-
You can bring water or tea into the studio, we have a water filter here as well. We do not allow coffee in because if it spills, it will smell like Starbucks forever!
