It has been one of the very few benefits of the pandemic that I have been able to rejoin my former yoga teacher Sally Pugh via Zoom for yoga classes, long after I moved away from where she is physically based.  In the intervening years I had unsuccessfully sought another teacher who pays the same degree of attention to the needs of each student.  Sally always suggests helpful accommodations so every body, irrespective of size, age, health restrictions or flexibility, can find a practice that works for them as an individual.  She is supportive, encouraging and knowledgeable, and attracts a lovely group of practitioners to her sessions.  It is a joy to be back practicing yoga in this wonderful sangha.

During this time of shelter in place, I have found that Sally’s style of teaching translates extremely well to Zoom. She keeps an eye on the students throughout the class, interacting and offering suggestions and feedback. It almost feels like we are in the room together. I really appreciate how Sally is able to skillfully hold the container of a class in such a nurturing way, even through the challenge of teaching virtually.

Sally Pugh’s zoom yoga class are THE BEST! Everything feels okay in the world and in my body — no matter what is going on outside — when I’m in Sally’s class. I feel safe and supported and challenged. Sally’s voice is soothing, gentle, and inspiring. She has so much knowledge and expertise, and always encourages everyone in the class to move in ways that are good and right for their individual bodies by offering variations on poses and lots of options. I have been attending Sally’s classes for years, and am amazed at how well her classes translate to zoom. I feel like I’m in a warm, loving community even though we are all taking class in our homes via the computer. Her classes have made so much difference in my life, always, but especially in these trying times they are a touchstone and a lifeline. I can’t recommend Sally’s zoom classes enough!

I appreciate the meditative aspect of yin yoga. Holding the poses, stretched to my edge for several minutes, encourages me to clear my mind and focus on my body. I don’t often feel in tune with my body. So this opportunity to “just be” in my mind/body connection, focused on my breath, gradually relaxing through the sensation is a way to feel alive. It’s a path to gratitude for life, in fact. I am reminded how lucky I am to be alive, have the life I have, to just be. The gently but firmly stretched muscles and joints, especially the hips, seem looser and freer in movement after a class. The combination of mental cleansing and deep stretching is profound, sometimes to the extent that I feel as if I’m in an altered reality, a slower, gentler world after practicing yin yoga.
