Welcome Back Beth & Peek at December

Welcome Back Beth & Peek at December Screenshot-2025-11-30-at-2.24.26PM.png

Tonight, Sunday night...Beth is returning to teach Full Moon Yoga after a short time away, at 6 pm.  And we can all wish her a Happy 86th Birthday that night (it was officially last Saturday) on Zoom or in the studio. Come celebrate Beth, and howl at November's Cold Full Moon.  (She will also be BACK to her spot on Monday nights at 7:15 pm this week!)

Check out the full class schedule here for preregistration & all classes.

A heartfelt shout-out to Jeff Conti & our amazing Team Heartsong for keeping Beth’s classes flowing since Labor Day. It truly does take a team. As we move through this season of gratitude, my Thanksgiving thanks go to our dedicated teachers, our wonderful desk crew, and to you—our students and friends—for your steady support.

Keeping a small business strong and healthy for over 30 years has been the work of my life and a gift to this community. I could not resist asking ChatGPT about the stats on 30 year "survival rates" for small business, here is the answer: "Some sources claim that only 16% of small businesses in the U.S. are 30 years old or older". 

With So MUCH Gratitude and Love,
And wishing Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all....Sheila, Tony, Beth, and Team Heartsong Yoga.

PS:
In the event of plowable SNOW!!!!
Class schedules might be modified and/or Zoom Only, visit the web, the schedule, and Facebook for information.

We had a lovely time Teaching Yoga For Food on Thursday morning, and some fun special classes held before and after the holiday. Thank you for all the non-perishable food donations for the Open Pantry, we will continue to collect food all season long.  Look for another Teach Yoga for Food event on New Year's Day, at 11 am, with Sheila, an In-Studio or Zoom All Levels Slow Flow with a sweet Crystal Bowls Sound Bath Shavasana to "ring in" the New Year! Keep your eyes open for the modified holiday schedule later in December.

Do you have Insurance Benefits for Fitness to use up for 2025?

As we move toward the end of the year, this is a wonderful time to check whether you have unused health or wellness benefits waiting for you. Many students have been able to use their Flex Spending (FSA) or Health Savings (HSA) cards to purchase yoga classes — and we’ve found that cards often process more smoothly at the desk than online.

Not sure what your policy allows? Most insurance companies now include yoga under wellness or fitness support, so it’s worth a quick look. And if your plan requires documentation, Sheila can provide a personalized attendance letter for your insurance company.
Before the year ends, take a moment to check your benefits. You may have support available that helps you stay committed to your practice.

  • Bring your Flex card to the desk. (Or try from home and see if it works!)
  • Request an attendance letter if needed. (email Sheila)
  • Double-check your policy — you may have unused benefits to support your yoga practice.
