The forecast says sweater weather. Meet the cozy lineup: hoodies, crews, and crop crews, made for the in-between hours of a Maine fall. Think the walk from the studio to your car after an evening class, the cold-hands-around-a-coffee mornings, and the layer you pull on over your yoga clothes the second savasana ends.

It feels so good to be back in the studio this time of year and there are so many ways there are to practice here and at home!

If you want to ease in, Stretch & Mobility, Fundamentals, and Yoga Nidra are slower and more accessible, with room to learn, release, and rest. If you want to build some heat, our signature heated flow brings up the energy and warms you from the inside out. Most of us end up with a mix, depending on how YOUR body is feeling. And as we continue to stream classes, the replay library grows week by week for at-home practices or when you’re away from home.

Whichever you pick, you’ll find a warm room, a community that’s glad you came, and a place to put the day down for an hour. Check the schedule at the link in our bio and pick whichever one sounds good tonight.

One Saturday. Two workshops with Jacqui Bonwell. Swipe to see which one is yours. ⏩

🗓️Nov 7th
📍GPY Falmouth

Most yoga classes ask what your body can do. This one asks where your energy has gone quiet. Join us in Falmouth for a Vigorous Chakra Cleanse.

On Saturday, November 7, Jacqui Bonwell leads a 2-hour-15-minute Vinyasa practice built around the seven major chakras, the energy fields yogic tradition uses to map how we feel and where we get stuck. Expect a vigorous flow alongside education, meditation, pranayama, chanting, and visualization. The aim is to bring new life to the places that feel sluggish or exhausted and to reconnect with your authentic self.

Jacqui has been teaching since 2005. She’s an E-RYT 500, a Reiki Master, and the director of the Sacred Seeds Yoga School, where she has trained hundreds of yoga teachers. She’s also been a presenter at Kripalu since 2012.

Manifesting Life

No fortune teller needed, and no yoga mat either. On Saturday, November 7, Jacqui Bonwell leads Manifesting Life: How to Use the Universe to Your Advantage. It’s a no-asana workshop where you’ll explore ideas from thought leaders like Wayne Dyer and Esther Hicks, learn about co-creation, and plan your own future. Expect to laugh along the way. The goal is to build your mental, emotional, and financial confidence. Regular clothes are fine and all levels are welcome.

Jacqui has been teaching yoga and meditation since 2005 and is an E-RYT 500, a Reiki Master, and a yoga life coach. She directs the Sacred Seeds Yoga School, has been a presenter at Kripalu since 2012, and co-authored Migrations: An Almanac for the Soul. Before yoga, she worked in social work, and she still teaches with service in mind.

6 reasons to start your Wednesday night with Community Class ➡️ SWIPE

A heated vinyasa class for $10, taught by a teacher who just moved to South Portland and is excited to meet you. Swipe for six reasons to try Wednesday’s Community Class with Cressida.

Wednesdays | 7:00 PM 📍 South Portland

It’s built for every level.

Community Class is a heated vinyasa flow designed for all levels, so you don’t need to know the poses, the names, or the flow before you walk in. It’s a welcoming way to try a dynamic practice, whether it’s your first class or you’ve been practicing for years and want a room with no pressure. Come as you are and take what you need.

A warm room, a moving practice.

This is vinyasa in a warm studio, which means breath-led movement that builds heat, lets you move a little deeper, and gives you a good sweat to show for it. Heated classes aren’t for everyone, but if you’ve been curious, a welcoming all-levels class is a low-stakes place to find out. Bring a water bottle and wear something you can move in.

$10. That’s it.

Any in-studio pass works for Community Class, but if you want the discounted price, you can buy a single class for $10. It’s one of the easiest ways to try GPY, or to bring a friend who’s been saying “maybe someday” about yoga. Bring your own mat, or rent one at the studio.

Your teacher has trained in the details.

Cressida started practicing in 2020 and completed her 200-hour training in 2023. She then did an Assistant Training at Down Under Yoga in Brookline, focused on corrective, supportive, and deepening assists. She’s spent time learning how to help people feel more at home in their own bodies, and that care for the details shows up in how she teaches.

A midweek reset you’ll actually make it to.

Wednesday is the middle of the week, when the to-do list is long and the weekend feels far away. An evening class gives the day somewhere to land: move, breathe, and rest at the end. You don’t need to be in a better mood or have more energy to come. Showing up tired counts too.

Yoga does more for stress than you’d think.

Stretch & Mobility isn’t about touching your toes. It’s about whether your joints can move the way they were built to. In this video, Danielle walks through what the class is: a restorative blend of dynamic and static stretching, mindful movement, and self-massage that works your joints through their full range of motion. Blocks, straps, and bolsters give you support, and massage balls come out for targeted myofascial release when you need it. It’s built to improve flexibility, posture, and how easily you move, whether you’re recovering from training, keeping an aging body feeling good, or just starting to explore alignment.

And there’s now one more chance to take it: Danielle is adding a Tuesday class in South Portland.

Stretch & Mobility every week (60 minutes):

Monday | 10:30 AM 📍 Falmouth

Tuesday | 2:30 PM 📍 South Portland (NEW)

“Life is full of paradoxes. In order to heal, you must first hurt. In order to love, you must open your heart and let yourself be broken. To grow, you must face failure and uncertainty. To find peace, you must sit with your own chaos and learn to breathe through it. To appreciate light, you must walk through darkness and feel the weight of shadows. To forgive, you must confront the pain that has been carried for too long.

Life asks us to experience the very things we fear or resist, and yet it is through these struggles that we find strength, resilience, and clarity. Every challenge, every heartbreak, every disappointment carries a lesson that cannot be learned any other way. Sometimes the moments that hurt the most are the ones that shape us into the people we were meant to become. And perhaps the greatest truth of all is that life is not about avoiding pain or seeking perfection. It is about embracing the journey, leaning into the lessons, and trusting that every fall, every tear, and every moment of doubt is preparing us to rise wiser, softer, and more fully alive than before.” -Unknown

Sunday evenings now have a slower, softer landing with Nora. It’s a good fit if you’re newer to yoga and want room to learn the shapes without rushing, or if you’ve practiced for years and want to slow down and refine. It’s also a gentle way to close out the weekend before Monday arrives.

The research backs up the idea that a slower practice still counts. A 2025 meta-analysis of 44 studies found yoga produced the largest drop in cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone, of any exercise type compared. That doesn’t mean slower is better, only that you don’t have to go hard to get something real.

Sundays | 5:00-6:15 PM 📍 South Portland. All levels welcome, props provided.

Most of us were never taught what the pelvic floor is, let alone how to train it.

Cara Lyon, PT, DPT, is coming to our South Portland studio for an evening devoted to it: what the pelvic floor is, why it needs to be both strong and able to lengthen, and how to reconnect with it and retrain it so it supports you in everyday life and through every life phase. That includes postpartum and post-injury recovery.

This is the kind of thing worth learning from a physical therapist. Pelvic floor muscle training is recommended as a first-line approach for urinary incontinence in women, and a Cochrane review found that women with stress incontinence who did it were far more likely to report improvement or cure than those who didn’t. Cara will cover the anatomy, movement patterns, and common issues, with light movement, breathwork, and time for your questions.

Friday, October 23 | 6:00-7:30 PM, $30 📍 South Portland. Bring a mat (rentals are $2), water, and a pen, since Cara will share a handout.
