***STUDIO CLOSED***
Door County Yoga will be closing 10/15/2020
Given the Covid cloud that is overhead right now, we simply cannot fight against it. We have to surrender and wait it out. When all this passes over and it's again safe to practice together indoors, we will resume classes in a new incarnation.
It's been such a wonderful journey the last five years. We've had so many great experiences at the studio and developed a beautiful community. We will hold that thread and re-create when the time is right. Of the many benefits of practicing yoga is a real sense of acceptance, detachment, and humility. We accept change and have full faith that something better will evolve from this.
With deepest gratitude for the gifts of yoga,
Jan
P.S. I'll keep in touch and keep ya posted!
P.S.S. Door County Massage will remain OPEN for massage & acupuncture
Introducing Mackenzie!
Acupuncture, Cupping & Yoga
Mackenzie Schneider has a Masters Degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from Northwestern Health Sciences University (Valedictorian of the class of 2019), and internships held at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital, the Human Performance Center of MN, and the Bloomington Natural Health Clinic.
After antibiotics failed to remedy complications from Lymes disease, Mackenzie turned to Acupuncture. Albeit initial skepticism, it only took about a month of consistent treatments for her symptoms to dramatically decrease. Since the initial course of treatment, Mackenzie has utilized Acupuncture to treat Achilles Tendonitis, torn calf muscles, low back pain, and stress. Mackenzie loves to treat conditions of all sorts, but especially enjoys working with athletic injuries, digestive disorders, and menstrual issues.
In addition to being an Acupuncturist, Mackenzie is a yoga instructor who completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in Hawaii in 2016.
She will be teaching the Vinyasa class on Weds evenings and offering Acupuncture & cupping at Door County Massage starting in October. Office hours MON 4-8pm & WEDS 12-5pm

Class descriptions
Vinyasa "Flow"
Vinyasa Yoga is an experience of connecting movement with breath to align mind, body and spirit. Classes are designed around sun salutations to create heat in the body and link postures together in a continuous flow. The practice builds strength, flexibility, and balance. Anyone with moderate mobility can enjoy this invigorating class.
Hatha
This class teaches body postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation with the goal of bringing about a sound, healthy body and a clear, peaceful mind. This class is designed for all level students.
Gentle Yoga/ YIN
Gentle yoga is for anyone looking for a way to relax and unwind, yet increase flexibility. We flow through a series of gentle mindful movements with focus on moment to moment awareness of body and breath. Each class ends with a complete body scan.Everyone can benefit: beginning students, older adults, active people learning to be gentle with their bodies, and for anyone who is seeking a peaceful experience. Gentle Mindful Yoga is considered a formal meditation practice, so If you’ve been wanting to learn to meditate but can’t sit still, this class is the class for you!
Somatics
Somatic Movement Education is a gentle but potent practice. Over time most bodies harbor stress in the form of tight contracted muscles which then become the norm. When we bring focused attention to the muscles, allowing them to relax with the sensory awareness, change is possible. Freedom of movement is a self directed initiative learned through a present moment experience.
Ashtanga
Dedicated practice group works on the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga in the tradition of Pattabhi Jois. Ashtanga is a physically demanding practice that offers tremendous opportunity for transformation. Students are recommended to practice consistently
Meditation & Mindful Movement
This class is appropriate for everyone - beginners to 'advanced'. Each class begins with gentle mindful movement (yoga or qigong) and ends with formal mindfulness meditation practices, including sitting meditations, body scan, and walking meditation. Leave feeling focused, relaxed, balanced and calm. Led by Barbra Wolf.
Private Classes
Private classes are a great way to deepen your practice and explore postures that are just right for you. Also a fun idea for bachelorette parties, family reunions, and corporate team building. Classes can be held in our studio, on the beach, or at your residence.
