CANTON -- The Yoga Loft will pack up and begin the move to 17 Main Street in Canton, upstairs above the Celtic Knot, on Saturday at 10:30 a.m., after Community Yoga class is finished.

Volunteers to help with the move are welcome. The studio will be closed from Aug. 9-21 to allow time to settle in and get organized. Classes begin in the new location on Saturday Aug. 22 at 9 a.m. with Community Yoga.

Erin Alguire, owner of the Celtic Knot and of the building, has renovated the upstairs space specifically to meet the needs of the Yoga Loft. Renovations include exposed interior brick walls, bamboo floor, soft lighting, and a new bathroom. “We are so excited to finally have a beautiful long-term home!” says Alison Brant, Yoga Loft board president.

Two classes will continue to meet as usual during the time that the main studio is closed for the move. These are Chair Yoga, which will meet Wednesdays at noon in the Canton UU Church basement, and FREE Yoga in the Park, which meets Fridays at 11 a.m. in the Canton Village Park.

The Saturday Aug. 22 opening day schedule in the new studio at 17 Main Street is as follows:

9-10 a.m. – Community Yoga, our popular all-levels $5 drop-in class.

10:30 a.m. -12 noon – Yoga Sculpt, a new power yoga class with Cintia Hongay.

1 – 4 p.m. – Yoga for Pregnancy, a workshop with Alison Brant. Please register for this workshop by August 14 by sending email to alevbrant@gmail.com
