The weekend has arrived, and you are ready for some nurturing support, a little slow down from a busy week, and a cozy respite from the rains to come. ✨️

For those wanting to take time to rest and restore, Friday morning Restorative with Diane and Free Community Yin Yoga with Hannah Martin on Saturday afternoon have you covered. If you are wanting to go deeper into the stillness, Friday night's Yin Yoga & Yoga Nidra with visiting teacher Amy Jozwiak has a few spaces left to support your peace. End your weekend and prepare for the week ahead with Lori's Sunday evening Yin Yoga & Meditation.

If your week has been full of stillness and you are craving movement to increase your vital energy, Friday morning's All Levels Vinyasa with Diane or Heidi's Saturday morning PiYo (Pilates, Yoga, Cardio class) and All Levels Vinyasa will raise the vibration.

Our studio is open to all levels and abilities. We welcome you to come just as you are. We look forward to meeting you on the mat.✨️ 💖

Join us this Friday during Art Walk at Chill Yoga for a special evening practice with guest teacher Amy Jozwiak blissyogaandadventures visiting from New Zealand!

From 5:15–6:30 PM, Amy will guide Yin Yoga & Yoga Nidra, a gentle, nurturing practice designed to calm the nervous system through mindful movement, breath, stillness, and deep relaxation. Move slowly, reconnect with your body, and meet yourself exactly where you are.

The evening will close with Yoga Nidra, a deeply restorative guided meditation that invites the body and mind into profound rest, helping to reduce stress and support deeper, more restful sleep.

✨ All levels are welcome. Spaces are limited. Come experience a slower, softer way to spend your Friday evening with us at Chill Yoga. Suggested donation is $10-18 for the class

Equality of daylight and darkness, the Autumn Equinox is a balance of effort and ease, and a living metaphor for balance. In Ayurveda & Yoga, this seasonal shift is symbolic of grounding and balance, and moving from the intense, fiery outward energy of Pitta season to the inward, reflective qualities of Vata Season..

This week we have a full schedule with many grounding Yin classes, Restorative Yoga, Meditation, Yoga Nidra, and Pranayama Practices to calm the mind and body during the seasonal transition. Take time to explore the schedule and discover a practice that can become a regular support for you as you enter Vata Season.

We are ready to meet you where you are, just as you are. ✨️

The weekend has arrived, and the teachers at Chill are ready to guide you in a practice that suits your needs.✨️

For those who enjoy yoga in nature, be sure to check out today's 7:30AM Sunrise Deck Yoga with Heidi on Pleasant Pond in Turner. This will be the last deck yoga for the season. Or, perhaps you are looking for a fall hike with yoga and meditation. On Sunday morning, Heidi will guide Yoga Outdoors adventurers on the annual Fall Equinox excursion to Bradbury Mt. in Pownal, Maine. Leaves are turning, and the fall air invites you. Enjoy Ayurveda treats and beverages!

If the warmth and comfort of the studio is calling you, one of many classes we have offered this weekend might just fit your needs. Friday 8AM Restorative Yoga with Diane Handler, the one hour All Levels Vinyasa with Diane on Friday, or the 75-minute version with Katie Camire Lincoln on Saturday.

Sunday afternoon, Chill offers two tranquil practices. Our guest teacher from New Zealand, Amy Jozwiak, will guide students with her light-hearted and thoughtfullly designed 75-minute Gentle Yoga Flow + Yoga Nidra- a heart- and breath-led practice that invites you to slow down, quiet the mind, and go inward.
5pm Yin Yoga and meditation with Lori McAullife invites you to tune inward, release the old patterns of stagnation or tension in your muscle and connective tissues as you prepare to enter the week ahead. Let either of the practices bring you the "Ahhh" you have been craving.

Yoga Sutra 1:2- "Yogas citta vritti nirodhah"
Translation: Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind. 🙏

At Chill we invite you to come to the mat as you are, and feel mind-freedom unfolding✨️

Happy Monday!✨️

A new week of classes awaits you!

Update: tonight's 5:15PM Prana Vinyasa class will be taught by Julia Rhinelander! ❤️

In addition to our regularly scheduled classes, we have a few free community yoga classes with our YTT student teachers, and a "By Donation" yoga class led by our visiting friend from New Zealand and guest teacher, Amy Jozwiak (pictured above)!

Feel Good Flow is a heart- and breath-led practice that invites you to slow down, quiet the mind, and go inward. Students can expect to move through a gentle, flowing sequence of postures that awakens vitality, deepens your connection with the body, and cultivates a sense of grounding, inner awareness, and peace.

We will safely and compassionately guide you in your practice, while allowing you to explore what works best for you.

At Chill, we invite you to come as you are, just as you are. 🙏💙

We loved bringing Chill Yoga to the Maine MILL for Movement at the Museum, where the creativity and history of the MILL became the backdrop for an evening of movement, connection, and community.

There’s something special about slowing down in a space built to inspire. Thank you to everyone who joined us on the mat! 💛

We can feel the summer days waning as the sunsets arrive a little earlier each night. Evenings are getting cooler to reflect this shift. The morning sky holds a clarity and crispness that we recognize as fall's approach.

This seasonal shift is also felt within us. While the buzz of summer kept us on the go, the flavor of fall reminds us to return to routines that support us, ground us, provide stability.

We are ready to help you find your steadiness, peace and grounding again after your summer adventures. We have a full schedule with something for everyone.

The studio reopens Tuesday, Sept. 8th, and we are so looking forward to welcoming you back. ❤️
At Chill, you don't have to be anyone but yourself.

Come as you are, just as you are.✨️

The studio may be closed while we paint, renovate, and refresh, but Zoom & offsite classes are available this week.

We are most excited to partner with Maine MILL this Friday for Movement at the Museum!
Join Heidi for an All Levels Flow Yoga suitable for beginners and seasoned practitioners. This class is free

When we celebrate this milestone, we celebrate you, our yoga community and family.
