Our returning Yogi, John Poupore, will be with us for 3 days of yoga, pilates and much more. Each morning session will precede breakfast and will be focused on waking the body with a variety of yoga poses, self-massage, pilates, and Chinese energy work. Partner poses may also be incorporated. Additional private or small group sessions will be available later each day. Sessions will take place unclothed and in a quiet and warm setting. Yoga mats are provided.
Private or group sessions can be tailored to meet the desires of the individual or group, and can include intensive work on various yoga asanas, a quick 30 minute session with various chi gung, or energy exercises, or a longer session involving more repetition to really charge up your body. If you want to learn some of the fundamentals of Pilates, then this would also be a good time to explore that as well.
No prior yoga experience is necessary. You may participate in as many or as few yoga sessions as you like. See below for how you can save when you book yoga sessions in advance.
Throughout the weekend, you can also pamper yourself with a 60- or 90-minute massage with Dave, relax in our wood-fired hot tub, take advantage of the amenities at Frog Meadow, including the gym, show shoe & cross-country ski trails or simply relax by the fire. Note that snow shoe rentals are available for $10/day.
Jon Poupore has been leading yoga and tai chi sessions for 7 years, with a particular emphasis on the challenges for the middle-aged male body. His individual and his taught practice draws on a great variety of traditions but does not adhere exclusively to any single one. Jon always emphasizes awareness, safety, good breath and ease, even when the work is challenging. Jon lives in Portland Maine with his partner James and his two cats keep the house cozy and warm.
