Let’s keep the 25th anniversary party going by highlighting another “OG” teachers. This month, meet Carmina Rafferty.

Carmina has practiced with Yoga East since the earliest days. In 2001 she began teaching both Led and Mysore-style classes. Carmina’s teachers are knit into the studio’s lineage, as she often travelled to learn from Nancy Gilgoff, Nicki Doane, Eddie Modestini, and Bhavani Maki, as well as spending several months in Mysore, India studying with Pattabhi Jois.

🔗 Click the link in our bio to learn more and follow Carmina’s path from the Seacoast to Maui to her current home in Troncones, Mexico.

Carmina still has roots in the Seacoast and we’re delighted whenever she pops in on a Mysore class or to chant with us.

Today marks the 5th anniversary of Chris taking over the ownership & leadership of Yoga East. 🎉

Chris is the last person to make fanfare about this accomplishment, so this is Dave & the Yoga East teachers hopping on to say a heartfelt “thank you” and “congratulations!”

I (Dave) didn’t really know Chris back then, other than seeing her in the Mysore room where she clearly had a dedicated practice. When Kimberly announced she was moving away, I was devastated, assuming Yoga East would close. But then came the news that Chris would be taking over. I was psyched — not only would the studio survive, but this person I saw working so hard on kapotasana every morning would be leading us.

I’ve since realized that Chris’s dedication as a student was just a small part of what makes her a great leader — it’s mostly her selflessness, especially in giving up that primary role as a student. It’s fun to be a student and practice with everyone, but on most mornings now Chris is up at 4am to practice alone at 5 so she can be there for all of us. And even when she attends class as a student, she still finds time to take out the trash, update the board with a bad joke, and answer everyone’s questions.

We’re so lucky to see Yoga East in its 25th year — and incredibly thankful that Chris stepped up, with real personal sacrifice, to keep it all going.

Swipe through the carousel to hear from the teachers.

Happy 5th anniversary, 🧡

☔️ Saturday, May 30 - a tree fell in our parking lot, taking out our internet and some of the parking spots.

Hopefully, this is resolved soon, but our internet provider said it might be until Wednesday before they can fix our line. So in the meantime…

🚗 Parking - use the available spots in our lot. As always, don’t go beyond our building into the neighbor’s lot in the back. With limited spaces, you may need to park on Walker St. across from Loco Coco’s.

👩‍💻 Livestream / Signing In - Check Namastream in advance. If Livestream classes are cancelled that means our internet is still off. For In-Studio classes, sign up in advance if you can, otherwise we’ll have you sign in on paper in the shala - just like the olden days

Sorry for inconvenience - hopefully everything is up and running soon!
