Embrace JOY! Ignite your creative and playful spirit!
Join us to explore the wisdom of your body through movement in a hybrid of guided yoga and freeform movement. We’ll begin with guided familiar yoga postures, easing into some flowing movements that gradually lead us off our mats and around the room, as the rhythms of global music fill the space and the energy builds. It will culminate back on our mats with a short relaxation.
This is your time to bounce, play, and explore! Let your body lead the way as we co-create a unique movement experience together.
This program is offered freely and open to all. Since space is limited, please register below.
Qigong with Natalie Imbier and Lynne Nicole Smith
Qigong is a gentle, healing practice that involves slow movements, deep breathing, self massage, and meditation. It’s easier on the joints than many yoga postures and is especially gentle on the knees, wrists and shoulders. A mostly standing practice that is over 5,000 years old, Western research has proven Qigong's healing and preventative health effects.
Saturdays 9:15-10:00 AM - Munson Library
All are welcome! Interest in Qigong continues to grow, and beginners are always welcome to join the practice!

Lynne Nicole Smith from Qigong Infused Yoga® has 23 years of teaching experience and offers a Qigong class live online every Sunday at 10 AM. After your first free class, you’re welcome to continue on a donation basis via PayPal https://paypal.me/qigonginfusedyoga or Venmo (@lynnenicole)

Tuesday Evening Yoga Class!
Restorative (Candlelit) Yoga with Tibetan Bowls
with Diana Peters-Ross and Liz Lacey
Tuesdays, January 21 - February 11, 2025
6 - 7 PM Munson Library 1046 South East Street, Amherst

Join Liz and Diana for a unique yoga experience of rest and relaxation. Enjoy a restorative yoga practice while bathed in the healing sounds of Tibetan bowls.
Restorative yoga is a gentle practice that offers numerous benefits for the body and mind. By incorporating longer-holding times in supported postures, participants experience deeper states of calm and tranquility. The slower pace invites mindfulness, soothes anxiety, improves sleep and circulation, and releases muscular tension.
The resonating sounds and vibrations of the Tibetan bowls balance both sides of the brain and promote deep relaxation.
Mats, blocks, and straps are available, but participants may want to bring some or all of the following comfort items: blanket, beach towel, pillow, cushion, bolster.
This program is offered freely and open to all.
Since space is limited, please register here.
Liz Lacey completed a 500-hour yoga teacher certification at Shiva Yoga Peeth in Rishikesh, India in 2018. She has also completed two additional 500-hour teacher training sessions at Maa Shakti Yoga also in Rishikesh.
Her training included Ashtanga, Iyengar, Hatha, and Yin yoga. Liz currently focuses on alignment, flexibility, and strength through slow movement. Besides asanas, she is passionate about breath work which she includes in her daily practice.


Meditation Practice

Nature Walks
Evidence suggests that spending time in nature offers emotional, mental, and physical benefits. Sharing a walk with others increases the positive impact on our health.
Our Valley has unique geology and natural history that has provided inspiration for artists, poets, writers and naturalists. We will enjoy the scenery of local fields, pastures and woodland forests to observe birds, wildlife, plants and trees.

"There is nothing like nature to bring you back to your self and connect you to your senses."
