Moonflower Yoga celebrates its 13-year anniversary this September!
September 10th, 2025 marks the 13-year anniversary of the doors opening for Moonflower Yoga! The years have flown by.
For those of you who have supported Moonflower Yoga through these 13 years, THANK YOU! We could not have reached this milestone without your support. And for those of you who have not yet tried a Moonflower Yoga activity, come give Moonflower Yoga a try. Discover why Moonflower Yoga is a warm, friendly environment and a great place to stretch and relax as you attend a great yoga or meditation activity. You can also have fun in one of our workshop or Club activities. Newcomers re always welcome. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Make yourself a priority!
If you are looking to feel less stressed or improve your physical strength and flexibility, yoga has helped many feel more relaxed, as well as tone and stretch muscles, increase flexibility, improve balance, and enable you to gain strength. It can help you too! In addition to the great morning yoga classes, Moonflower Yoga has evening classes if that time slot works better for your schedule. All of the classes on the schedule are suitable for beginners or those seeking a slower-paced class where you can deeply stretch while strengthening your body and improving flexibility and balance (which is especially important as we age.)
There are great weekly yoga or meditation classes on the Moonflower Yoga schedule from which you can choose. All of the classes on the schedule are suitable for beginners or those seeking a slower-paced class. Every class on the schedule is available via Zoom except for the Tuesday night Candlelight Restorative class. Looking for an in-person experience? The classes on the schedule which are designed as ‘hybrid yoga” classes are also available for in-person attendance (limited to 4 people attending in person) while also available online. Here is a list of the classes with in-person options:
- Beginner Yoga on Sundays at 945 AM
- Stretch and Flow on Thursdays at 9:45 AM
- Chair Yoga on Tuesdays at 12 noon
- Yoga for Bone Health on Thursdays at 5:15 PM
- Candlelight Restorative on Tuesdays at 7 PM (in-person only)
The “Descriptions” tab above will provide you info about each class. The “Descriptions” tab also has important, additional information regarding attending an in-studio activity. If you are planning to register for a class with an in-person option, please click on the “Descriptions” tab and read the info before registering.
Is your available time and/or budget limited? We have a great option with a variety of 30-minute, live, interactive, online classes! These are perfect for when your time is tight.

Would you like to attend multiple activities in a specific calendar month? If so, it would be great to have you attending multiple activities with us! If you spend $100 in class purchases for the calendar month, you receive a FREE 30-minute class in that month as a thank you. To purchase a class package, instead of registering for each individual class, simply send an email to moonfloweryoga@optimum.net advising which classes you would like to attend for the month. We will get the paperwork started and reserve your spots for you.
Feeling stressed? If you need some stress reduction, in addition to a great yoga class, you can also consider one of our wonderful meditation activities. Doctors all agree that meditation is a fantastic tool for stress reduction and relaxation. Every Monday night at 7 PM, Rosanne teaches a lovely 30-minute Relax and De-Stress with Guided Meditation class. There is also a fabulous array of relaxing workshops to consider including an Evening of Guided Meditation and Relaxation with Bhante Sujatha (the loving kindness monk), or a super relaxing Yoga Nidra evening with Jackie offered monthly on the 3rd or 4th Wednesday evening of each month. Or you might like to have some fun and join us for the Moonflower Yoga Book Club as we go on a journey with a great book and have fun discussing it. Looking for some healthy and delicious food options? Join us for our interactive In the Kitchen with Bob workshop where you discover plant-based cooking ideas. We provide the recipes in advance, and you cook alongside us from your kitchen as Bob offers guidance and tips.
