News and Upcoming Events at Heartspace

Hello Heartspace friends,
Lots going on this weekend, again, but first some traffic related news. In Troy, the Farmer's Market is outdoors and as a result, Second Street is closed. If coming to one of the events, give yourself a little extra time to find parking. In Albany, Tulip Festival is going on in Washington Park on Saturday and Sunday so there may be some traffic to the east of our studio. Please visit the park to enjoy the flowers and Happy Mother's Day on Sunday!!

Yoga is for all people, ages, and builds but it isn't a one size fits all approach. We all come together in the breath but sometimes the external form of the postures needs to be adapted so that all bodies can enjoy its benefits. Yoga for Ample Bodies recognizes this and presents a yoga practice approach that is accessible to those with larger body types.
