COMMUNITY News:

Little Bird Yoga Studio will host a special Open House and Celebration from 8:30 a.m.–noon, Saturday, Aug. 23, 2025. The community is invited to the studio to enjoy free classes, giveaways, and light refreshments. Class participants must register in advance at www.littlebirdyogastudio.com. Free classes will run throughout the weekend, from Aug. 22–24.

The celebration marks a significant achievement for studio owner Heather Quinn, who recently earned the E-RYT 500 credential — indicating more than 2,000 hours of teaching experience beyond her advanced 500-hour certification. She is also beginning a yearlong Yoga Therapy practicum toward completing an accredited yoga therapy certification. This training required an additional 500 hours of coursework and 90 hours of supervised therapy sessions.

Quinn has spent the past two years under mentorship, focusing on supporting people with chronic pain linked to neurodivergence, building physical and mental resilience for those with dysautonomia, and assisting clients with surgery preparation and recovery. During her practicum year, she will provide 150 hours of yoga therapy while continuing under the guidance of a senior yoga therapist.

As part of the Open House, guests can sample the studio’s offerings through free classes suitable for all levels. The weekend schedule includes a yin class at 5:15 p.m., Friday, a barre class at 8:30 a.m., Saturday, a slow-flow class at 10 a.m., Saturday, and a stretching class at 5 p.m., Sunday. Attendees can also enjoy desserts from Borrow a Baker, get a prize, meet instructors, and learn more about yoga therapy.

Whether you’re brand new to yoga or a longtime practitioner, this is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the Little Bird community, explore different styles of movement, and celebrate the growth of the studio.
