    Yoga on Main

    There is a new addition to the wonderful Vermont village where I live  - a yoga studio. A former competitive runner with a longtime yoga practice owns Yoga on Main.  I am happy to share my conversation about yoga, mindfulness, and breath with Martine. https://www.instagram.com/yogaonmainsaxtonsriver/ https://www.rickymceachernartist.com/eagertoknow/yoga-on-main

    An Oasis for Men

    Frog Meadow Farm is a B&B, Inn, and Massage Oasis for Men in Southern VT. I discovered this wonderful spot many years ago when I lived in Boston, and often looking for a relaxing, welcoming getaway.  Frog Meadow is changing ownership, and I wanted to be sure that it will retain the intent and vibe that love. Spoiler alert - it is transitioning into good hands. I am pleased to share my conversation with the founders of Frog Meadow, Dave Scott. https://www.frogmeadow.com/
