Yoga instructor Evelyne Serais is the new owner and director of Fairfield’s Yoga for Everybody (Y4E), with studio manager Jennifer Jennings staying on. Especially attentive to beginners’ needs, Y4E offers Kundalini, Kripalu and Vinyassa classes, along with Anusara-inspired, Yin and Vini Yoga, Restorative, Pre-natal, Mommy-and-Me, and Middle School classes. Thai bodywork, a 2500-year-old one-on-one healing technique, and many workshops, including Pranayama (yogic breathing), Yoga Nidra (relaxation), Chakra and Posture clinics and various types of meditation, such as gong relaxation are offered. “The mind cannot resist the gong’s vibrations,” says Serais. “It is the fastest way to clear out the subconscious and begin to let go of our blocks.” Y4E has also reopened its retail shop, offering jewelry, clothing and yoga related accessories. The studio is adding another room for concurrent sessions, and will announce new programs and workshops throughout the year. “We are here to nourish the body, mind and spirit,” says Serais. “Through this effort and practice we may begin to take yoga ‘off the mat’, extending light and compassion to all those around us.”

Y4E, open seven days a week, is located at 27 Unquowa Road, Fairfield. Visit Yoga4Everybody.net or call 203.254.9642.
