Bio: I am Ellie Howard, I have a Master’s Degree in Education with the focus on adult learning. Over the past 56 years, I have studied Yoga on 5 continents and taught Yoga in the U.S. and in China. My classes today are filled with healthy adults who want to keep their body moving.
Join me for a special practice designed to gently open the body, support internal balance, and leave you feeling deeply renewed. What to expect:
Gentle Flow with Hip Openers-We’ll move through a mindful sequence to release tension and create more mobility in the hips, lower back, and pelvis.
YAM: Your abdominal message-Learn and experience a self-message technique inspired by the Mayan abdominal practice of visceral manipulation. This powerful method can support digestion, menstrual health, uterine alignment, prostate wellness, and overall abdominal balance. Closing Savasana we’ll integrate the practice with deep rest, allowing your body to absorb the benefits fully. This class is nurturing, accessible, and restorative- perfect for anyone looking to reconnect with their well-being from the inside out. Please bring a pillow and bolster or a blanket that rolls up so that your knees are bent and supported.

Bio: Frank Duke from Windsor, Ontario Canada.
I’m honored and blessed to be able to teach at Y.A.G.D.’s Fall yoga day. I am an
E-RYT 200 instructor and have been teaching yoga for almost 12 years, along with Pilates and reformer classes for the past year.
My yoga teaching style is a blend of vinyasa, yin, and restorative, focusing on the main foundations of the practice including breath, root lock muscular engagements, gazing points, and keeping a calm, balanced, equanimous mind.
I truly believe our purpose in life is to experience joy and Yoga is the only practice that has ever surpassed my passion as a hairstylist of 40 years. I hope you enjoy a mindful sequence of movements that will elevate your mind, body, and spirit, creating a better version of your own self.
A traditional back class with postures for everyone. This is a class that stays low to the ground and works to open the hips and liberate the back body. Suitable for all levels. Props are not required, but if you regularly use props, please feel free to bring them. We will end with Yoga Nidra to complete the class and the day. Yoga Nidra is fondly known as yoga sleep. It is a guide meditation for relaxation.
