"Giving Back" at The Buttonwood Tree

Theresa Govert, Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance and a feminist activist based out of East Haddam, CT, seeking to make the gift of yoga accessible to a greater amount of people, is offering weekly yoga classes to GIVE BACK.

Along with group classes and individual sessions, she leads workshops bringing together yoga, feminism & activism and yoga hikes.

Classes will be held TUESDAYS from 1-2 pm at TBT

Anne-Marie C. McEwen said...: Thanks to Theresa for a gentle, simple class of stretching and intentionally breathing that helped us all to feel better physically and mentally. We left ready to face the rest of the day with a happy heart!; November 30, 2016 at 2:51 PM
Anonymous said...: Writing as a yoga snob, I affirm that this yoga session is worth attending. The teacher is relaxed but confident, and the moves are challenging enough to keep one's attention. Not appropriate for yoga gymnasts, but a mid-day yoga stretch in the quiet light of Buttonwood. By donation. Very good.; December 7, 2016 at 10:36 AM
