HATHA YOGA

This class is open to all levels of yogi, even if you’re brand new or have been practicing for years.

“Hatha” is an umbrella term that gives us freedom to access a variety of styles and rhythms. Some practices will tend toward Vinyasa (i.e. flow) and others will be a bit more soothing in the Restorative style. I love to read the room and see what bodies and souls are in need of in real time.

Modifications are always offered to meet you where you are on your mat. There is always a strong emphasis on Pranayama (breathwork) and a welcome finish with Meditation. 

I haven’t offered yoga in some years now, although my personal practice has carried on. I’m excited to connect in this nurturing and ancient way with faces old and new. I hope to see you on the mat!

Tuesdays 5:30-6:30pm

July 7th-Aug 25th

Miss M’s Burlesque

Mis M returns! She is perhaps the sassiest and most confident incarnation of Emily, and she loves to bring out the sassiest and most confident versions of the women who join her in this playful and sultry class for all levels of women ages 18+.

I don’t promise not to curse, I do promise we’ll have lots of fun and leave the room feeling better than when we entered. 

While there will be movement and dancing involved, this will be a more theatrical style of burlesque focusing on creative character development and invoking a confidence you haven’t uncovered in yourself before. It’s a great way to gather, connect and enjoy the energy of being women. 

Performance opportunities are exactly that - opportunities and not requirements. Don’t be shy, be sassy. I’ll see you on the dance floor Lady Birds. Mwah!

Tuesdays 6:45-7:45pm

July 7th-Aug 25th

Burlesque

Is this an unusual combination of classes? Maybe. Does it sound like a lovely time to get warm and grounded in your body, then unlock the confidence of your inner girl power? If you answered yes, let’s embrace the unusual together, darling.

Those who enroll in both Hatha Yoga + Burlesque get a $40 discount for these fun and fulfilling summer classes!

Zombie Street Theater

 

Join us for the Melonlight tradition of a flash mob style zombie performance!

Each year we create a unique theme, storyline and choreography to tell a tragically enchanting zombie story. We always design the mini-show based on the students that enroll, so you can be certain there is a role for you.

This performance has become a staple of the Eureka Springs Zombie Crawl Parade, and we're honored to entertain the horde… I mean, crowd.

No experience or partner needed. This is a fun, creative, and energizing experience - you'll be glad you participated! It may even leave you hungry for more…

Rehearsal and enrollment info will become available this summer.
