In honor of National Yoga Month, and our September issue of old habits, new patterns, we'll be highlighting instructors at Thames Street Yoga
in Newport, RI. Whether you're into yoga, or just curious, Kyla tells
the story of each class from an informative and entertaining
down-to-earth perspective.

Erin Coonan - Thursday 5:30PM Vinyasa, Saturday 8AM Express
Erin
is awesome. Smart, real, constantly aware of the entire room. Ready
to jump in with a witty joke but still bringing it back to spirituality
in a grounded way. She started the class by translating the ever thrown
around “set an intention” as “why are you here”? I loved that. Lots
of great energy in her class, I can tell why she’s so popular! Sara
summed it up by saying “I pretty much loved everything about her and her
class and can’t wait to come back next Thursday and the Thursday after
that.”
Patti Confort - Thursday 9:30AM Vinyasa
Oh how I love
Patti C.! A beautiful, well thought out, and balanced sequence along
with her dry sense of humor made for a really enjoyable class. She says
these very funny, quirky remarks with a serious face - but the twinkle
in her eye lets you know she’s so not serious and that she’s full of
love. She told me in an e-mail “I am basically a humorless
mathematician who just recently turned toward the yogic path” and she
went on to tell me that yoga changed her life. You can sense that
devotion from her in her class, which I love and can relate to.
