Anyone who practices yoga knows that it does different things for different people. That’s why the Gretta team was so proud and excited to offer our Candlelit Yoga for Hope & Happiness class, last Tuesday, January 26th. Like all of our yoga classes, it took place at G Spa, at Foxwood Resort & Casino in Mashantucket, CT.
Filled with everyone from G Spa regulars and local yoga fanatics to visitors to the resort from afar, it was taught by our own yoga extraordinaire Jeri-Ann Russo, who’s built a big following for her hands-on expertise.
Before the class begins, she had everyone in the class set an intention—maybe a thought they want to focus on during the session, or something they want to let go of mentally. They then chose one of the stones that Russo offers, which have sayings on them that correspond to specific intentions, and set it in front of their mat. “That keeps them focused on it over the session,” she says. “And as I walk through the class, helping adjust people’s poses and posture, I can see what their intention is.” And in that way, the practice became much more personal for everyone in the room—a room, b.t.w., that overlooks the resort’s beautiful grounds, and is warmed by both abundant candlelight and the heat from the spa’s pool.
Care to join us for our next Candlelit Yoga class? All levels are welcome. The $25 per person fee includes a G Spa day pass, so you can hit the spa’s facilities before or after class. Call 860-312-4772 for more info. and to reserve your spot. We can’t wait to see you!
