Join Abby Strauss-Malcolm 200-hour RYT, 750-hour CMT, in this workshop series designed to release myofascial tension throughout the body. Each session will hone in on a particular theme or targeted body part. You will leave each session feeling balanced, inspired and living better in your own body.
For each session you’ll need: a yoga block (or foam roller), two tennis or massage balls, and a blanket or large towel for padding. Softer balls are available for purchase at the studio
Do you feel vague lower back, hip or even knee tension that you can’t quite pinpoint or stretch away? In this workshop we’ll drop into a space of self-study, discovering techniques to ease stress and unravel tension in the body. This sequence focuses on key transitional regions in the lower body that experience high friction or become stiff or fibrous. Mainly the outer thighs, IT band, lower calves, back of the pelvis and low back. You’ll leave with a greater sense of freedom in your own skin, feeling balanced, inspired and living better in your own body.

Hot off the press, Disney Songs! I had a lot of fun finding new versions of most of these well known tunes. A few are the originals but most are new takes. I wanted to focus the routine on the hands and feet as these are the parts of the body we take the most for granted, until they are painful.
So join us and we’ll have fun singing and dancing to Disney Songs. Here’s a sneak preview of one of my favorite finds, an a cappella version of “I Wanna Be Like You” from the Jungle Book sung by DCappella.
For Restorative Yoga, find some cushions, large books, yoga blocks, blankets, whatever you can use instead of bolsters and blocks. We make it work.

If you are new to Nia and Restorative Yoga with Linda, these streaming classes are free. Share with anyone who you feel needs a little movement or peace in their lives during this period of social isolation.

“Dexter was frantic. He was bouncing between my lap and my husband’s lap. He clawed at the floor – he was trying to get under the dashboard,” Dee explained.
Dee, her husband, their three-year-old and poor Dexter were on what should have been a seven-hour trip to Vermont to have Thanksgiving with family. Dexter was so upset that it had taken eleven hours to complete the first three hours of driving.
“We finally gave up and went back to New Jersey and had Thanksgiving with our neighbors.”
Dee doesn’t know why these panic attacks started when Dexter was seven years old. He was fine on a five-day drive to Oregon a couple of years before, but now Dexter constantly panted and drooled when riding in the car.
He also started getting so anxious during thunderstorms that he would scratch the walls and make so much noise that it would wake up their toddler.
“Our veterinarian didn’t recommend CBD oils.” The vet prescribed a few different medications that made Dexter groggy. “We weren’t happy about how they affected him.”
The CBD Solution
“We didn’t know about CBD oils for dogs, but when my aunt suggested it, we decided to give it a try.”
Before their next trip to Vermont, Dee put seven drops of Northeast Kingdom Hemp Healthy Pet on Dexter’s treats.
“It was a completely different traveling experience. Dexter was calm and happy. He lay and slept on the back seat. Every now and then, he got up and looked out the window. He wasn’t sedated. He was just relaxed and comfortable.”
Since then, Dexter manages thunderstorms without stress too. A few Healthy Pets CBD oil drops on his treats when the weather looks threatening spares Dexter from a distressing experience.
It’s not uncommon for pets to have anxiety from car rides, thunder, separation from owners, and many other causes. Northeast Kingdom Hemp’s Healthy Pets CBD oil can get them through it and greatly improve quality-of-life for the pets and their owners.
Why Northeast Kingdom Hemp?
“We found Northeast Kingdom Hemp and checked it out. They’re organic, and they test so you know the amount of CBD. We feel good about giving it to Dexter. It’s something we can trust.”

About Northeast Kingdom Hemp
Northeast Kingdom Hemp is a family farm producing full-spectrum CBD oils and other hemp products in Barton, Vermont. Four generations of family farmers – all born and raised in Vermont – lovingly tend all the hemp on our USDA Certified Organic farm. We follow sustainable practices to grow pure and healthy hemp plants. We do all the processing of our hemp, including small-batch supercritical CO2 extraction which preserves and captures the more than 80 active compounds naturally found in hemp. The result is pure, great tasting, healthier CBD oils that are teeming with naturally occurring phytocannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids that are largely lost by more industrial extraction methods. Because we perform the entire process from planting to bottling right on the farm, we know that every step is done right to give you the purest and healthiest CBD oils.

Full spectrum CBD Oils contain the hemp plant’s original terpenes and other types of cannabinoids, including cannabinol (CBN), cannabigerol (CBG), and less than 0.3% THC. Oils with the full spectrum of these compounds are healthier due to the different cannabinoids working together synergistically.
Terpenes that create hemp’s flavors and aromas have health benefits (including promoting relaxation, calm and sleep). These compounds are crucial to the range of beneficial action that hemp extract has on the human body.
The Healthiest CBD oils are made using cultivation and production methods that grow, preserve, and capture more of these natural hemp components.
Not All CBD Oils are the Same
The term full spectrum is loosely defined. Many CBD oil products that are called full spectrum are not as healthy as others. Cost cutting and labor saving practices causes reduced terpene and cannabinoid levels in the final product.
Cultivation, processing and extraction methods all impact the healthiness of the resulting CBD oil.
How Hemp is Grown Matters
Organic cultivation with adequate space for each plant produces hemp that is free from contaminants and rich in healthy compounds.
Because hemp is a bio-acumulator, meaning that compounds in the environment concentrate in the plant, no pesticides or herbicides can be used, ever. Even organic pesticides can be unhealthy.
CBD oils producers that source hemp from external suppliers don’t control the growing conditions of the hemp they use.
Small family farms like Northeast Kingdom Hemp know exactly how all their hemp is grown. By caring for each plant by hand, and with cold winters eliminating almost all pests naturally, they can be sure that the hemp for their full spectrum oils grows free from contaminants and is rich with healthy hemp compounds.
Harvesting and Processing Matters
The delicate trichome hairs that cover hemp leaves and flowers are like tiny factories producing resins of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids that give each hemp strain its unique character.
Abrasive industrial scale harvesting and processing may strip trichomes and resins from the plants. Large producers may use industrial dryers that dry hemp so quickly that the highly volatile terpenes also evaporate in the dryer.
Even natural drying in the low humidity air of western states like Arizona, Colorado, or California can cause loss of terpenes because the hemp dries too fast.
The Deveraux Family of Northeast Kingdom Hemp
Operating on a smaller scale, hand harvesting keeps the delicate trichomes and resins that coat hemp plants intact. Natural drying by hanging hemp plants in cooler higher humidity Eastern air provides optimum drying rates for preserving terpenes. These methods take a lot more work but are essential for producing the Healthiest full spectrum CBD oils.
Extraction is Critical
Extraction must efficiently preserve and capture the full spectrum of healthy hemp compounds while rejecting undesired components. CO2 extraction is the best chemical-free technique, but flow rates in high-volume processing may blow terpenes through the system without capturing them.
Alcohol extractions leave chlorophylls in the extract giving a taste like a freshly mowed lawn. Subsequent steps to remove chlorophylls can degrade or drive off terpenes.
Small batch CO2 extraction with multiple collection chambers and precise control provides the best chemical-free capture of cannabinoid and terpene oils and removal of undesired waxes and chlorophyll.
Though it may only be possible to process a single pound of hemp per hour using this technique, it produces the richest full spectrum oil with the most complete capture of cannabinoids and terpenes.
This time consuming process may not fit the business model for large scale manufacturers, but it’s the way to make full spectrum CBD oils that are teeming with healthy hemp compounds.

Why is the USDA Organic seal important? You buy CBD oil for your health so it makes sense that you want to make sure it is pure.
The USDA Organic seal provides assurance that your CBD is free of pesticides, herbicides, and other unwanted chemicals.
So, why are the largest CBD brands “not” USDA Organic certified? The big brands each have annual revenues in the tens of millions of dollars, with the largest exceeding one hundred million dollars.
Is there enough USDA Organic hemp?
It would be more expensive for the largest CBD brands to source the large quantities of hemp they buy from USDA Organic certified suppliers. By buying their hemp from non-certified suppliers, they increase their profits. Since so much non-certified hemp supplies the market, supplies of true USDA Organic hemp are limited.
The supply of USDA Organic certified hemp is not a problem for Northeast Kingdom (NEK) Hemp. They grow all their own hemp right on their USDA Organic certified family farm, so they know exactly how it’s grown. No worries about sourcing hemp from suppliers who may cut corners.
In fact, NEK does the entire process from organic soil to bottling organic oil right on their farm. This is how they know every step is done right to produce the highest purity oils.
Hemp is a bio-acumulator, meaning that compounds in the environment concentrate in the plant. Any pesticides or herbicides used by non-certified suppliers of the largest CBD brands accumulates in the hemp plants. This is why Northeast Kingdom Hemp does not use any pesticides or herbicides. NEVER ANY – EVER.
When the largest CBD oil producers source hemp from external suppliers, they don’t control the growing conditions of the hemp they use. Any pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals in the growing environment can be concentrated in oils produced and be harmful to your body.
It makes sense that you want CBD oils that are pure. Northeast Kingdom Hemp doesn’t have the large marketing budget of the big brands, but they know how to produce the Healthiest CBD oils.
The Healthiest CBD oils are USDA Organic Certified. All hemp oils Northeast Kingdom Hemp makes are fully USDA Organic.
How does Northeast Kingdom Hemp do it?
Because Northeast Kingdom Hemp is located in the northern part of Vermont, they have a unique advantage over industrial hemp farms. In northern Vermont, the long cold winters eliminate almost all pests naturally. There are so few pests that Northeast Kingdom Hemp can prevent problems with aphids by using ladybugs.
Industrial scale hemp farms are forced to use pesticides and herbicides to protect their crops. That’s why they can’t get USDA Organic Certification.
Northeast Kingdom Hemp never uses any pesticides or herbicides, not even organic ones. Even organic pesticides and herbicides can be unhealthy.
By caring for each plant by hand, Northeast Kingdom Hemp can be sure that their hemp grows free from contaminants and is rich with healthy hemp compounds. It’s all part of making the healthiest, purist CBD oils.
When selecting CBD products, make sure you’re getting the Healthiest. That means finding a source that puts quality first in every step of the process.
How your CBD is grown, processed, and extracted affects how it works in your body.
Small family farms like Northeast Kingdom Hemp don’t compromise quality for profit. They only make the Healthiest CBD oils. Use a source you can trust.
