About this trip

Date: Sunday, January 14th 6-8pm

Location: Mt Hood Golf Club

100 Slayton Rd, Melrose, MA


Join Amy Sinclair for a 75 minute gentle vinyasa class ending with some yin and restorative postures.  The class is held in front of the floor to ceiling stone fireplace in Mount Hood's function room.  We will be serenaded by live acoustic music from Merit Shalom, a talented singer and songwriter.  We will end class with a guided meditation, and savasana. Once we awaken from our dream-like state, there will be a hot cocoa reception!  It's the perfect way to nourish your body and soul and practice loving kindness, to yourself and others!


A roaring fire, a nourishing yoga practice, live music, loving kindness meditation, and soul-warming hot cocoa, what could be better on a chilly winter's eve?


This event will also be a coat drive, so please bring a new or gently used winter coat or accessory to donate!


Come get cozy with us!

More info about our Yoga instructor, Amy:

On somewhat of a whim, before ever having stepped foot in a yoga studio, Amy enrolled in Yoga Teacher Training in January, 2013.  Soon after graduation in summer 2013, Amy began teaching yoga, and hasn't stopped since. In March 2014, Amy completed her 100-Hour Barre & Soul Teacher Training (also on a whim) with Barre & Soul founder, Andrea Isabelle Lucas. In November 2014, Amy quit her full time job as a food scientist to teach yoga and barre full time.  Since then, Amy has taught over 1500 barre classes, and over 600 yoga classes.  She now serves as a leader of Barre Teacher training, and a mentor for new barre and yoga teachers.  She has plans to assist with yoga teacher trainings as well.

Amy's teaching style is light-hearted and playful, but also challenging.  Amy's yoga classes are intelligently sequenced with care.  Amy's barre classes are a blend of mindful movements, and positivity.   Amy hopes to bring the joy and inspiration she found through a regular yoga and barre practice to as many people as possible.  Her students describe her as authentic, honest, and compassionate.

In 2016, Amy began pursuing her life long (dormant) dream of becoming a firefighter.  She completed her EMT training in March 2017, and is now on the eligibility list for Massachusetts firefigher's.  You can keep up to date with Amy's progress on her blog.


More info about our musician, Merit Shalom:

Merit Shalom is an award winning Folk-Rock singer/songwriter from the D.C. area. She moved to Boston 3 years ago and has been recording locally in Somerville at Armory Sound Studio. Her heartfelt original songs are shaped by her life experiences, which include a work history that has found her teaching children in National Parks and aboard boats, and helping adults achieve their educational goals.

Half-Israeli herself,  the cultures and traditions Merit has encountered over the years have informed some of the themes of diversity in her work. She designed and led a lyric-writing workshop for English-language learners while in La Plata, Argentina, and co-founded a music composition club at her alma mater, Mount Holyoke College, in order to increase the visibility and support for student-written music. In 2010, her original composition won the Shalshelet songwriting contest and was performed at the first Shalshelet international festival.

Amy Sinclair Yoga was founded in 2014 when I started planning fun and unique yoga events, retreats, and experiences for my yoga students. As a full time yoga and barre teacher, I wanted a creative outlet for my teaching, and began to curate these events. I specialize in seasonally themed yoga events and retreats held at unique venues. I combine my love of the outdoors and living in tune with the environment into my yoga events. I’m a true new englander at heart, and love all 4 of our beautiful seasons. I love to bring the healing powers of nature into my events. Please see my event schedule for all my offerings.

I had such a great time on this yoga retreat. Not only did I get uninterrupted quality time with my BFF, but I met so many additional amazing and inspiring women. Thank you for a wonderful experience, Amy & Emily!

Amy really knows what she is doing when heading up a yoga retreat. Her yoga style is very gentle and relaxing. The venue was warm, welcoming, & peaceful. The group was wonderful - all different ages and backgrounds, but I immediately felt very comfortable right from the start. Amy's friend, Chef Stacey, added so much to the retreat with her culinary expertise. It was great to taste different dishes! I would highly recommend signing up for any future retreats headed up by Amy.

The yoga and experiences withAmy and Emily were incredible. Food was amazing and accommodations were lovely but not for the weather we had. The cold and rain was tough and I would suggest a rainy day activity since the nature walk was cancelled. Some people didn’t know what to do since the tents and cabins were so Cold. Overall I loved it but maybe a different location for the fall?

Wonderful experience. Emily and Amy were incredibly generous with their energy, and their meditation and yoga instruction. Loved the gorgeous barn and candle lit yoga and the food was delicious, healthy and lovingly prepared. Perfect repreive from daily life. Very grateful for the experience you provided

I wish I could end every single day with an experience like this one. Sunday nights can feel so stressful as the new week looms ahead of you- it all melted away at this Sunday night class. Amy radiates pure joy and peace as a yoga instructor, and I am so thankful she teaches in our community. I can't recommend her highly enough -- for any and all levels. And I can't recommend this space and event style enough - we practiced in front of a large roaring fireplace, with the most beautiful live acoustic music and vocals. Thank you so much, Amy.
