8 Week Live Online Mindfulness Course with Sandrine
Taught by Sandrine McGuire of Mind Yer Yin based in Drymen, Scotland
Free Intro Session:
Sunday, October 4, 2026 | 3–4 PM ET This is a free one-hour introduction where you can meet Sandrine, experience a sample mindfulness exercise, learn more about the course, and ask questions before deciding whether you'd like to participate in the full 8 weeks. REGISTER FOR THE FREE INTRO SESSION: Email Sandrine to register and get the zoom link! Course Dates/Times All classes are 2–4 PM Eastern Time. This is a LIVE offering - classes will not be recorded. If you have to miss a session, Sandrine will see about offering paid one-on-one catch-up sessions.
Investment Early Bird Savings: $225 Register by October 6 and save $25 by using coupon code "MindfulYou". Regular Tuition: $250 Your tuition includes all eight 2-hour live sessions, access to a mindfulness app through Sandrine's training facility, and the opportunity to learn within a small group of no more than 12 participants. That's 16 hours of live, guided instruction designed to help you develop a mindfulness practice you can continue long after the course ends. This does not provide a quick fix; Sandrine teaches life skills to help you build resilience to help navigate the challenges in life and cultivate compassion and inner strength. This requires practice, and a certain amount of commitment. You'll need a good internet connection and a quiet space where you can participate. Keeping a journal is also encouraged. Mindfulness is about learning how to be with yourself and what unfolds in a more gentle, intentional way with greater awareness. The MBLC is an established, secular 8-week mindfulness program designed to help participants develop an ongoing mindfulness practice. Throughout the course, Sandrine will introduce different themes and a range of mindfulness practices, gradually building skills that can help us become more aware of our thoughts, emotions, bodies, and patterns of reactivity. Mindfulness practices may be supportive for people experiencing:
You'll be encouraged to develop a daily practice of about 15–20 minutes, with plenty of guidance and support along the way. There will also be opportunities to ask questions, dispel common myths about mindfulness, share experiences, and learn alongside a small group of others. The cohort is limited to 12 participants.

Private SessionsMaybe you would like to focus on a specific part of your body as you recover from an injury or have a spot that routinely carries your stress. Maybe you'd like focused areas of attention while you prepare for your wedding or heal after pregnancy. Maybe you want only breath and energy work or meditation.
If your body is speaking to you about specific needs, I'm happy to provide personalized private sessions at a rate of $85 per hour for an individual and $100 per hour for a group. Or, gather a group of friends or have a date night for couple's yoga and split the cost. Please feel free to contact me regarding private sessions at lisa@withinreachyoga.com

On-Demand Course Recordings Available by Request
Vinyasa Flow - recordings available
We'll focus our attention on moving with our breath into poses that strengthen, lengthen and balance our bodies. We'll create opportunities to quiet our minds, restore open energy channels and connect to the grounded wholeness within. Parts of this class are designed to build heat. Modifications will be provided to allow any yogi to find ease and his or her personal edge as we move mindfully. Expect to flow through warm ups, a few sun salutations, restorative poses and, as always, a blissful savasana. Email Lisa to purchase access to the on-demand library of recorded classes.
Chair Yoga, CLASS ON HOLD - recordings available
In chair yoga, the practitioner is able to benefit from the balance and support the chair offers as we move through gentle seated and standing poses. Chair yoga allows the client to modify their yoga practice based on mobility, health, and current ability level. We will include a sprinkling of breathwork and meditation. Suitable for those working with injuries, inflexibility, movement disorders, balance problems, Parkinson's, MS, and all others who just want to experience yoga in a relaxed, comfortable position. Please consult with your physician before participating in this or any physical activity. Email Lisa to purchase access to the on-demand library of recorded classes.
Yoga for Runners, 8-session workshop - recordings available
If you are looking to cross train or support your running, this series can help you with flexibility, breathing and strengthening opposing muscles groups to the usual ones you use during your runs. Take one a week for 8 weeks on your off or light running days! Email Lisa to purchase this recorded series from the Within Reach Yoga on-demand yoga library.
Short 'n' Sweet from Head to Feet, CLASS ON HOLD - recordings available
Pressed for time? Enjoy this complete gentle yoga class designed to fit it all in 30 minutes. We'll practice pranayama (breathwork), asana (physical postures), and a few minutes of rest during savasana. Each week, we'll focus on opening a specific area of the body or chakra. That being said, our bodies are complete connected networks... when balance is brought to one area, you'll notice improvements in other areas as your body comes into balance.

DROP-IN'S: Drop in for $15/class if space is available. First-come, first-served. You may register one week in advance and please try for no less than 24 hours in advance. If you've registered but then can't make it, please let me know ASAP as someone else may be on a waitlist for that class.
