What’s new this week
Happy 4th of July! ☀️🇺🇸 Just a quick reminder that we have new classes starting this week, so be sure to check them out as you plan your schedule!
Meet Alli and her new class
We are excited to announce that Alli Mincher joins the Yoga 170 team and will be offering a new Sunday morning class, Slow Flow Vinyasa. Learn more!
Open all week! New Year’s schedule.
Looking at the new year as a positive, fresh start? We are here for you to continue your yoga practice, or for new beginnings. View the full schedule here. And, be sure to reserve your spot in our special New Year’s events!
Schedule this week + Winter Solstice celebrations
We are beginning our Winter Solstice celebrations with candlelight yoga (and an abundance of cute twinkle ✨ lights) at the studio this week! We’re warm, cozy, and enjoying the ambiance of yoga together as we enter the official winter season. Plus, tonight’s Winter Solstice celebration included treats and tea for an extra coziness factor….
Important studio updates
As many of you are aware, NYS issued new requirements on COVID protocols for businesses, effective Monday, December 13.
After carefully reading over the policies, this is by no means an easy decision. I have never wanted to be in the position of excluding people for any reason who want to practice yoga. Nor have I ever wanted to be in the position where I am asking for our instructors to police policies set forth by the state. We have always been a community-oriented studio for all ages and my goal has always been to provide you with a space that is safe, welcoming, and supportive.
Basically, a place where I would take my own family (and actually do).
Experience stress relief and deep relaxation
This Saturday, 11/6, please join us for a deeply relaxing Yoga Nidra + Sound Bath experience with the talented Whitney Michele, who has recently returned to her Rochester roots from Colorado. If you are familiar with Whitney’s sound classes, you know how much of a treat and deeply relaxing experience this is. ✨
(Coming soon) Yoga 170 apparel with special meaning
Eeek! I’m bursting with excitement as I write this week’s update because I have a special SNEAK PEEK for you. In just a few weeks, we will have new Yoga 170 apparel available in the studio — yoga tees, tanks, lightweight hoodies, and more.
But the best part? The art design was done by a student who practices at the studio! I’ll be sharing her story and inspiration behind it all (and I love that it was all created locally). Everything will be available in early November!
Mark your calendar for this Mind + Body workshop
I’m thrilled to let you know about a new Mind + Body workshop that we’ll be offering at Yoga 170, in partnership with Erica Reisinger, founder of Revive Your Tribe. Mark your calendars for this yoga + wellness event on Sunday, November 21 from 11:30am-1pm. Grab a friend or come solo!
Announcements this week
“Imagine what is achievable if there are no expectations for perfection.” — Carly’s opening intention in this morning’s class.
What a great mindset shift. Re-read if you must. The endless search for perfection does not exist on your yoga mat. Take what you need, enjoy the time you carve out, and know that so much is achievable — because there are no expectations for perfection here.
This week: Barre, Restorative and earlier classes
Our studio is your space. Your time. Your place to unplug and take what you need. Come solo or meet a friend for class — we look forward to practicing with you this week!
A short video tour — see the studio! Plus, new fall classes.
Enjoy a 2-minute tour of Yoga 170! Get a feel for the space and experience the boutique, farmhouse feel. Turn on your volume! Hope to see you here soon.
New classes for Fall + yoga this week
We are excited to offer you more new classes, and our amazing team of instructors will continue to bring their own creative and authentic style to each and every class. We’re so proud to offer you a variety of class types so you can pick and choose what feels right to you.
Barre pop-up this Friday (and sneak peek of fall!)
I know we are all soaking up the summer sun and it doesn’t feel like Fall, but in just a few short weeks, it will be here! I already can’t wait for the gorgeous colors that surround the studio — it’s always a good reason to linger a little longer before or after class.
But first! We have one more special summer class this Friday evening to share with you. Join us this Friday, 8/27 at 5:30pm for a Barre pop-up as you head into the weekend.
And be sure to set aside time for yourself this week at either yoga or meditation. Our weekly schedule is here and listed below too.
No place like home…
I’ve had this deep appreciation for home recently. Our cozy, comfy home here in Fairport. The home of dear friends that we recently stayed with. My hometown of Saratoga where we celebrated my Dad’s birthday this weekend. The familiar feeling of home when I step into the yoga studio.
All the feelings that come with a place that you can call home.
I hope the studio feels just as much like home to you as it does for me. Sometimes I wish pictures could also deliver the smells of essential oils, the good energy, the music, and the good energy that comes with stepping into Yoga 170. ✨
Yoga to market! Details inside.
We’re teaming up with our friends at the Fairport Farmers’ Market to bring you YOGA TO MARKET on Saturday, 8/7!
Be good to yourself with yoga + meditation this week
Whatever it takes to get to your mat, whatever brings you to class, however you show up, it’s ALWAYS about being good to yourself. This week’s schedule is within — we can’t wait to practice with you!
Set your yoga and meditation schedule for the week!
Thank you for yet another great week of yoga, meditation and wellness at Yoga 170! We are so happy to welcome all of the new comers and hope everyone is enjoying coming together to practice as much as we enjoy feeling the good energy of the studio with you!
The schedule for this week is within — get back to basics, enjoy a good flow, sooth your soul with meditation or just take a mindful moment on your mat. We look forward to practicing with you!
Open Monday! Plus meditation, yin, deep stretch, vinyasa and more this week
We are open on Monday, July 5th so come on in and enjoy class with us! The bridge is open and life is good in the Village of Fairport, NY.
Bring a friend to class! Details inside.
Monday, June 21 is the International Day of Yoga 2021, and the theme this year is “Yoga for Wellness” — practicing yoga for physical and mental well-being. And we are celebrating all week long at Yoga 170!
From Monday, 6/21 — Sunday, 6/27, bring a new friend with you to class for free! No strings attached. We just ask that they are brand new to Yoga 170. All your friend needs to do is sign up and choose the “I’m coming with a friend” pass ($0) on www.yoga170.com/schedule.
It’s our way of spreading the yoga love for physical and mental wellness! 🌱
