Sundew Studio brings yoga-based movement and meditation to people in the Pittsfield, Maine, region and is guided by the following beliefs:

You do not have to be "good" at yoga for it to benefit you; the more of us practicing, the better for everybody.

The breath guides movement and meditation; the body remembers.

Yoga asana, the seat of attention, can be found anywhere; you determine how that happens.

We practice balance and alignment on the mat to engage in a balanced and aligned life off the mat.

Yoga practiced in community creates a contagious feeling of unity, otherwise explained through polyvagal theory and the stimulation of the parasympathetic response.

Practice is an expansive, lifelong endeavor.

Practicing together reminds us of our perpetual interdependence and opens pathways for deeper connection with all those we encounter. This heart-centered practice supported with more and more scientific research occurs in a safe and comfortable environment, surrounded by trustworthy people, conditions that support meditation practice and the mindbody benefits associated.

We are all always learning: discernment, including personal discernment about how some practices and some teachers work or do not work for us, is fundamental.

We are all already whole and holy.
