Dubble Time

Yoga with Peentz Dubble

History’s most relaxing winter, this is not. Last week you plunged your new furry boots into a slush puddle. You’ve lost track of the number of times your car’s been towed since the snow canyons took over Boston’s street parking.

And, hey, don’t take this the wrong way, but how’s that ambitious New Year’s exercise resolution been working out for you?

What you need is a serious dose of relaxation. A Dubble dose, in fact — of Peentz Dubble, Iyengar yoga instructor extraordinaire. Light on the hippy-dippy stuff and heavy on the physical aspects of yoga, Peentz teaches the art of letting go.

Now, before you snarf your triple latte, consider what we actually mean by that. Simply that she employs a series of props and constant personal attention to work you into poses that give your brain a rest and push you completely into the moment. You finish the class focused, loose, and ready to conquer the world.

And possibly even your Monday commute.

Peentz Dubble yoga classes are at St. Mary’s Church, 8 Inman Square, at Austin Park, Central Square, Cambridge (617-527-1871).
