PILATES With A Special Guest Teacher!!

About This Class

**A SPECIAL EVENT: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11 @ 8:30am** This is an exciting event for me because my favorite teacher is coming for a visit! Emily Shapiro is perhaps one of my favorite teachers and mentors and she will be in the New York area this fall. She's agreed to come up to Lake Waramaug to teach a guest class and I could not be more excited. I plan my arrivals to and departures from Nosara, Costa Rica around her class schedule so I don't have to miss one if I can help it. The energy, care and pure FUN she brings to yoga and Pilates is unparalleled. She consistently fills the space wherever she teaches. A crowd brings a certain energy to a class and she always makes the most of it. Her playlists aren't bad, either ... I hope you'll join me on the mat (or else I'll have a private class for myself!) while Emily leads this very special Columbus Day Weekend event. We'll practice next to Lake Waramaug at our usual spot at the Hopkins Inn Beach. In case of rain, the class will be held at the "SHAG barn" at Spring Hill Vineyards. As usual, I'll have tents for additional shade for the group. Pick your spot, settle onto your mat, listen to the waves, and feel the breeze on your skin. Then take a deep breath and get ready to MOVE. More details to come. LOCATION Hopkins Inn Beach (Directions in the notes below) NOTES Advance RSVP is required. If you want to take both Emily's 8:30am Pilates and 10am vinyasa yoga classes, sign up for the Emily Shapiro Double Header class pack for $50. (Please go to the Class Packages page to purchase.)

You may want to bring a filled water bottle and/or a small towel or hat if you want to cover your face during savasana. DIRECTIONS Take Lake Road (route 45) to North Shore Road; turn onto North Shore Road. Left turn onto the dirt road across from Hopkins Road; drive towards the Warren Town Beach.
