Yoga In The Yurt

Donation yoga does not mean free. It means that you give what you can to the donation box, take what you need from the class. Most donations average $10 but all are welcome to leave more or less. Please help me keep the practice flowing by contributing what you can. A portion of proceeds collected will go to ski patrol, I use the rest of the money donated to support myself with work that makes me smile.  

Having access to a donation based yoga class has allowed me to continue my practice even when my low budget has hindered me from affording a $12 drop in fee. On the other hand, when I've been able to leave a larger donation, it's satisfying to know that I'm contributing and helping an instructor share their passion with the community. I want everyone to have the same opportunity to show their minds and bodies the TLC they deserve without having to buy into the "membership" of yoga.

 All Levels Yoga is exactly what it sounds like; a practice built from the ground up and for everyone. Every class begins by bringing attention to the most essential component of yoga, focus on the breath. You are then guided through gentle movements and stretches, increasing in depth and difficulty as class continues. Variations to add or lesson intensity are suggested throughout class, giving you the opportunity to make this your own practice. 

Layers, layers and LOTS of layers! The floor of the yurt is cold, because it's not directly on the ground. But the small space heats up quickly. As you move through your practice, you'll start to heat up. As you cool down and start to come closer to the mat, you'll want to add on warmer clothes to stay comfortable. Typically, whatever warm gear is under your outer ski shell works fine. Sweats also work. Whatever you can move comfortably in. 

A mat, if you have one (if not, there are some provided)

A water bottle, you'll be reaching for this half way through class

A towel. Not necessary, especially since this isn't hot yoga, but some like it. 

Cash to donate. 

Class starts promptly at 10:00am, guests may walk in as early as 9:45. Class ends at 11:00am 

The yurt is directly behind the bright red White Grass lodge. If you're standing in the parking lot, walk to the right of the lodge, past the ski racks, and up like you were heading towards 3 mile trail. The yurt is the small, round building, with a domed roof, on your left.

We can fit eight mats comfortably in the yurt. Eight to twelve is pretty tight, but we can do it. Twelve mats is max capacity!  

We practice in rain, shine AND snow every Sunday, until the season ends. If there isn't enough snow to ski, take advantage of the trail systems and go for a hike or run after class. Or stop into the cafe, they start serving at 11:00am.
