Streaming Classes: Our response to the COVID-19 crisis


Like virtually all studios, I curtailed all in-person classes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. While this was an obvious choice, the next question was what next? We decided to try an experiment so many other teachers and studios are also attempting - to move classes online. This took a considerable amount of work, but we knew if we were going to do it, we needed to do it well.

Blue Mounds Movement Lab conversion

In just a few days, the Blue Mounds Movement Lab has been 100% converted to a video studio. We've leveraged all the video and audio equipment that we accumulated over years - as well as our 10+ year old YouTube channel and new 1GBps internet connection - to offer some of the highest quality online yoga classes available.

These free classes are focused on de-stressing and coming together. While we may be physically distancing from each other, we can still come together temporally by practicing together. These classes are not intended to be a yoga-workout, as I'll be rolling out mindful workout programs later this Spring... these classes are primarily about accessing the body as a means to calm your mind. While Yoga can be a vigorous activity, I'm intentionally keeping these classes gentler so that virtually everyone can come together with these practices.

After just a few classes, the response has been overwhelming. We've seen an average of 100+ people per class! Therefore, I decided to keep all my online classes free through April 17th.

I invite you to join us. Register here, and we'll email you a link to the streaming classes. The one link is good for all the free classes. 

Schedule this week
Thursday     6:30pm CST
Friday          9:00am CST

Next week through April 17 
Tuesdays      6:30pm CST
Thursdays     6:30pm CST 


Times like this are another reminder of why mindfulness and fitness are so important. I trust you will do whatever you need to care for yourself and your family, and look forward to emerging from this challenge together.

Thank you so much for doing these streaming classes. They have been keeping me going! I always feel calmer, and less stiff and irritable when class finishes. So you are doing good work for me and many others.

I just signed up for the two week pass!

Yours, Dana
