Happy April! Spring has arrived, and with it comes a gentle reminder to slow down, breathe deeply, and take care of ourselves and one another.
This season of renewal is the perfect time to recommit to your practice, nurture your well-being, and lean into the warmth of the community that surrounds us. And speaking of community, we have a very special celebration coming up — join us on April 11th for Elaine's 90th birthday party!
It's a beautiful reminder of what we build together when we show up for each other, year after year.
Easter Sunday Schedule
Wishing everyone a happy Easter! Please note that on Easter Sunday, April 5th, we will offer one class only — Hot Yoga at 8:30 AM. We hope to see you on the mat!
Join Us in Celebrating Elaine's 90th Birthday!
We are so excited to celebrate a truly special milestone — Elaine's 90th birthday!
Elaine is a true inspiration and role model to everyone in our community. She embodies what we all aspire to — showing up, staying consistent, and embracing her practice with dedication and joy. Elaine is living proof that a consistent practice is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves, and the key to good health and a long, vibrant life. We are so lucky to have her as part of our community!
Please join us on April 11th for a potluck party in her honor. It's a potluck, so please bring a dish to share! You can sign up at the studio, or simply show up with something delicious. Please note: no salmon, as we have allergy concerns to be mindful of.
Can't make it in person? You can still be part of the celebration! Send a video birthday message for Elaine and we'll weave them all together into a special keepsake she can treasure.
Please note there is a schedule change on April 11th:
- 7:00 AM — Hot Pilates
- 8:30 AM — Hot Yoga
- No 5:00 PM class
Hot Pilates Is Now on a Regular Weekly Schedule!
Great news — Hot Pilates now has a consistent weekly schedule, making it easier than ever to plan your practice and lock in those sessions.
Starting now, you can find us on the mat every week at the following times:
- Tuesday — 8:15am
- Wednesday — 5:15am
- Thursday — 8:15am
- Saturday — 11:30am
Whether you're an early riser or prefer a mid-morning sweat, there's a slot that works for you. Consistency is everything when it comes to seeing results, and having a reliable schedule means no more guessing — just show up and get after it.
We're also excited to share that some of our newest teachers have started leading parts of the classes. They bring a fresh energy to every session, and there's something truly special about watching them grow as teachers while we all grow as students. It's one of those things that makes this community so unique.
One Date to Note: On Saturday, April 11th, we'll be switching things up in celebration of Elaine's birthday! Instead of the regular 11:30am class, we'll be holding an IHP session at 7:00am. Mark your calendars and come ready to sweat — what better way to kick off a party day?
We can't wait to see you there. Grab your water, claim your spot, and let's make this a habit.
Warm Hands
Craft Circle
Please note that the Warm Hands Craft Circle will not be meeting on its usual second Saturday this month, as we will all be gathered together celebrating Elaine's 90th birthday! We hope to see you there instead.
Meditation with Steven-
Sunday, April 12th at 11:30 am
What a wonderful response to our first meditation session last month!
It was truly heartwarming to see so many of you show up, slow down, and sit together. Meditation is a powerful practice for both mental and physical health, and we are so glad it has found a home here at the studio.
Steven leads meditation the same way he does everything else: steady, thoughtful, and accessible. No pressure to "clear your mind." No performance. Just practical guidance that helps you settle your nervous system, sharpen awareness, and reconnect with yourself in a real, usable way.
Whether meditation is already part of your life or something you've been curious about but unsure how to begin, this is a supportive place to start — or deepen. Expect simplicity, presence, and space to slow down.
Join us Sunday, April 12th, and give yourself the gift of time to pause, breathe, and reset.

The Writers group is taking April off. We will meet again in May
Take a Walk with Teri This April!
Spring is here, and there is no better time to get outside and soak it all in. The warmer weather and longer days are a gift for the body and the mind — fresh air, natural light, and gentle movement are some of the simplest and most powerful things we can do for our well-being.
Teri loves to walk and would love to have you join her! Whether it's a stroll along the beautiful Merrimack River, a wander through the grounds at Winnikeni Castle, or a favorite spot of your own choosing, she's happy to meet you where you are. It could be a quick 15-minute refresh or a few hours of easy conversation and fresh air — whatever feels right for you.
