Yoga Classes and Yoga Retreats
Nurture Through Nature is creating and opening a donation-based yoga studio where certified yoga teachers will be offering a variety of classes in our green retreat space. Participants need only make a donation to experience quality yoga classes, making yoga available to all people in this underserved pocket of southwestern Maine, regardless of income. Our hope is that by offering yoga by donation, it will be a win~win situation for the students and teachers, alike.

Jen
Deraspe, Since 1999, I have been teaching yoga in the Lakes Region and while leading retreats.
I appreciate feeling more grounded, connected and balanced in life. Yoga has helped me to develop this way of being off the mat.
I enjoy movement with awareness, like a meditation in motion. Students find my classes gentle, yet deepening and invigorating. Since I
have a background in sports medicine, I care about proper alignment, preventing injury, strain and stress during yoga. Mindfulness and
breath awareness are a focus for each class.
Raja Michelle: Raja Michelle: When I found yoga 8 years ago, I fell in love with it and never returned to the traditional ways of working out. Yoga became my workout and refuge all in one. I offer an environment where people feel safe and free to honor themselves, finding their own personal place using me as their guide. I keep the practice simple yet dynamic. Yoga is just breathing and movement in action. It is a way to place your mind into connecting with the body, and stepping out of the day to day. Come breathe, move and enjoy!
Kara Seymour's classes are inspired by her love for music and
authentic movement. Kara believes yoga should be fun and explorative, while honoring the body with compassion and acceptance. She intuitively creates each class to fit the needs of those present, while meeting each student where they are at and gently guiding them deeper into their own yoga practice.
