Namaste! Welcome to Bristol Yoga Studio!
Bristol Yoga Studio is a hatha yoga studio serving the East Bay Community of Rhode Island. We offer group classes six days a week, and are available for private yoga instruction as well.
The studio came into being as an offering to the Bristol community. We sincerely hope you’ll consider it your space. We are happy you found us and look forward to seeing you at the studio.
We are ever grateful to those of you who have continued to help spread the word that we are here. Your continued help and support is critical; please let us know if you’d like to pick up some schedule cards to share with co-workers, friends and family. Of course, you can always direct others to our website as well.
Please get in touch with us with any questions or suggestions on classes, workshops, or other offerings.
Enjoy!
Announcements
A GENTLE AYURVEDIC SPRING CLEANSE WORKSHOP - Feeling full, sluggish and ready for Spring? Join us for a 7 Day Ayurvedic Spring Cleanse (we'll meet once before, once during and once after.)
An Ayurvedic cleanse is different than other cleanses you may have heard about or done before. During an Ayurvedic you eat "normal" low fat foods. During the first 4 days of an Ayurvedic cleanse you take a small amount ghee each morning and during the last four days you give yourself a gentle oil massage every morning.
Ayurveda recommends a gentle seasonal cleanse for anyone who is not pregnant, nursing or recuperating from surgery. However, if you do have any underlying medical condition please speak directly with Mary. Please email Mary directly with questions or to register. Registration deadline is April 19 so sign up right away!
Workshop Price - $60 includes all herbs, ghee, oil, tea & kitchadi; Dates - April 25 7PM, April 29, 7:30PM, and May 5, 7:30PM. SEVA CLASS!Each month, Bristol Yoga Studio offers a free yoga class to the community. This month's class will be offered on April 26th at 12 noon. Space is limited to 10 people, so please arrive 10-15 minutes early to ensure your spot. It's a great way to get friends and family interested in this healing practice. Also, we are accepting donations that day to benefit the Literacy Volunteers of the East Bay. Suggested Donation is $10 per person. (Class cards cannot be used) PRENATAL YOGA! There are lots of little yoginis growing in East Bay bellies these days. Tracy's Sunday night 6PM class has become Prenatal Yoga. The class is geared toward those in all trimesters of pregnancy, however, non-pregnant people are welcome!
We focus on breathing techniques, safe poses for all stages of pregnancy, strengthening, and flexibility. At this point, there is no need to pre-register, but depending on demand we might change that in the future. And, YES! You may use your class card for prenatal classes. Otherwise, drop in is $12 cash or check only.
WANNA BUY/BORROW STUFF? - If it's been a while since you've been at the studio, you might be surprised to learn how much more we offer. Also we've significantly expanded our lending library in the foyer of the studio. (See something you want to read / borrow? Go ahead and take it, sign it out in the little book on the shelf, and bring it back whenever you're done with it.) Also, in addition to our existing T-shirts, we're currently selling fantastic eye pillows (great for savasana or a quick at home nap), and we're planning to have a new Tshirt design ready very soon as well. So stop in if you get the itch for some 'stuff.' PARKING CHANGE - We want to be good neighbors, and we need your help. Bristol Yoga Studio only has one space in the back lot for visitors, and that space is directly behind our window on the building side of the lot. If you arrive to the studio and that space is full, please park on the surrounding streets. We appreciate your help as we accommodate our neighbor's requests to not use their spaces for parking. OUR SPACE IS YOUR SPACE - We are so happy that so many of you like our space and find it a comfortable place to practice. We opened the studio with the intention of it being an offering to the community, and it has really developed that way. As you may know, we offer the space for rental for complementary uses. If you or someone you know would be interested in renting the space for a workshop or regular classes, please email us for details; we're happy to let the studio be used on a regular basis.
SNOGA! With all this crazy New England weather, call the studio at 401-569-0147 to check if classes are canceled due to weather. We will also post cancellations here on the website.
