Yoga Groove: Dancing Joy into the New Year
w. Gina Greene . E.RYT, LMT
As January begins, we gather to move, release, and welcome the joy that will carry us into the year ahead. Yoga Groove: Dancing Joy into the New Year invites you into an evening of music, movement, and connection—an uplifting space to shake off residual heaviness from the past year and invite in clarity, lightness, and renewed energy.
Guided by Gina Greene, this practice blends gentle instruction with open, expressive movement. You’re encouraged to listen deeply to your body’s natural rhythm and move in whatever way feels nourishing—flowing through shapes, dancing freely, or swaying softly. It’s a celebration of presence, play, and the simple joy of being in your body as a new year unfolds.

Gina took her first yoga class in NYC at The Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center where her heart was smitten. Her first certification in Basics was through Kali Ray’s TriYoga system. She went on to complete her 200 and 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training certifications through Lotus in the Flame with her teacher, Melissa Spamer, who shares her deeply lived experience of Yoga & Ayurveda with a dedication that has been a gift to receive.
Gina is grateful for the richness offered her, the ground from which her unique understanding of yoga, bodywork and living with presence could root and rise. She began teaching yoga in the Kalamazoo community eighteen years ago upon request and hasn’t turned away from the invitation since. Her classes tend towards steadiness, essential movements for stability and ease with a request for curiosity and kindness towards the body-mind. She knows well the need to remember and offer the invitation to soften, listen, gentle and receive the sweetness of heart-centered awareness.
