the beginning…
Few things in this world are as sweet and picturesque as summer in New England. The mom and pop ice cream stores, surfing competitions, and local boutiques with doors propped open encourage an overall lighthearted feel throughout our normally sleepy towns. There’s an undercurrent of beauty that radiates and provokes a new sense of freedom and ease. If you’ve been on the internet as of late you’ve likely seen the term “romanticize your life”, something that comes naturally to us during these months. The magic of summer in New England is that it’s so short. For a small period of time, all of our senses are delighted and we are immersed in the salty enchantment. At blackbird wellness, we want you to lean into the theatrics of summer. We want you to fully FEEL IT.
The sweat dripping down your face - feel it.
The sound-bowls vibrating through your core - feel it.
The strength that props you up in a pose - feel it.
The laughter from children designing their sandcastles - feel it.
The juicy watermelon that melts in your mouth - feel it.
Part of our mission here at blackbird is to awaken and inspire. We want you to show up everywhere you go. We want you to take the picture, to meet-up with the friend, to jump in the ocean, to go a little harder and a little deeper, to slow down to speed up, to be here now. We knew that our coming together as a brand meant that we would have the opportunity to show up in our community and show up in a big way, in a way that feels different and new. When we were presented with the chance to teach an outdoor series, it was really a no-brainer. Ocean waves rolling in the distance, the sun dancing on your skin, a teacher who has your best interest at heart, music that lifts you and provokes the natural rhythm inside…these are all the ingredients we attain and the only thing left missing…is you. Blackbird wellness is beyond delighted to offer our summer series, inspired by the season and the natural waves of evolution. Our incredible team and our teachers have banded together alongside blackbird founder, Kim Welby, to offer the south shore a full New England summer experience.
Our summer series will exist between July 8th and August 27th with set-dates and experiential pop-ups. In addition to our class line-up, we will surprise and delight each weekend with local vendors and companies who light us up! Our intention is to invoke a sense of awe and create a community of well-to-do humans. Join us every Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday and let's make magic together. All you will need is a mat and a water bottle. As we progress into the hazy summer days, we will share more details and how to flow with us beyond this series but for now, our set dates and times are as follows;
Tuesday - Paragon Boardwalk Hull // 9:45 am Barre with Kim
Saturday - Paragon Boardwalk Hull // 8:15 am Gentle Yoga & 9:30 AM Power Yoga with Kim
Sunday - Paragon Boardwalk Hull // 8:30 am Yoga Sculpt with Erinn
Sunday - Cross Street Flower Farm Norwell // 9:00 am Slow Sunday Meditation with Kim (classes begin June 18th through September)
Please note: for opening weekend (Saturday July 8th in Hull), we will only be offering one class; a 75 minute Power & Gentle Yoga blend accompanied by sound healing. This class will likely fill up fast so please sign up in advance. Post flow, we will be holding space to connect with one another and enjoy the vendors who will be present.
