We Love our "Omies"
"Omie" is actually a super fun play on words between "Omstead" and "homey"! And the best part? It's true meaning comes from the idea that everyone we work with becomes a member of our amazing Omstead community! How cool is that?!

Hosting a group yoga session for frontline workers from Yale New Haven Healthcare was truly an honor. These dedicated individuals have shown immense strength and resilience in the face of unprecedented challenges, and being able to provide them with a moment of relaxation and mindfulness felt incredibly rewarding. It was a privilege to create a space where they could unwind, connect with their breath, and experience the healing benefits of yoga. We at The Omstead hope this session offered them a brief respite and a reminder of the importance of self-care in their vital roles.

Connecticut College Women's Cross Country
It was particularly meaningful to collaborate with this team, as I was a member two decades ago. We conducted a yin yoga session for this fabulous group of young women that emphasized longer, deeper stretches beneficial for runners. Our focus was on stretching the hip flexors, IT bands, and lower back. Wishing everyone success in their running endeavors! Go Camels!

SEPTEMBER 2024 OMIES
Glastonbury High School Men's Soccer
We absolutely loved working with The Glastonbury High School soccer team! It was a pleasure to introduce them to the benefits of yoga for young athletes. Through our goat yoga session, we were able to help them improve their flexibility, balance, and focus on the field. We also focused on muscle groups to teach the team how they could see a significant decrease in injuries and an increase in overall performance. It was truly rewarding to see the positive impact that yoga had on these talented young athletes.
