Treetop Yoga Studio: The Premier Yoga Studio on Cape Ann
Cape Ann Wellness News http://www.capeannwellness.com
Yoga studios are opening and closing on the North Shore faster than you can say chaturanga! It is amazing to be a part of a community where the demand for yoga is high, yet we recognize it can be confusing navigating the in’s and out’s of what makes each studio different. What sets Treetop apart and makes us unique? We’ve narrowed it down for you to make it easy!
1. Time-tested, community-approved!
Treetop is the oldest yoga studio still open on Cape Ann. We have been serving this community for over 8 years, and we’re going strong! You can be sure to expect a lot more from us for many years to come.
“I have been to other studios and I think Treetop is by far the best. It is clean and inviting, the staff is friendly and amazing. AND the clientele is friendly. I honestly feel like it’s one big family.”

Nichole’s Picks 12/5 + 12/6
Tree lighting in Gloucester last weekend….tree lighting in Rockport this weekend.
Pick #1: Christmas in Rockport
1:00 Saturday, December 5th
It is only fitting that in the incredibly quaint, picturesque, and perfect town of Rockport, Santa should arrive by lobster boat. This has been a tradition for as long as I can remember, but please note, that this year’s schedule will be a little bit different.
Santa has decided that he would like more time to linger, shop, and visit with the townsfolk so he has cleared his afternoon schedule to arrive in Rockport earlier than normal.
Santa’s boat should be arriving at T-Wharf at 1:00 in the afternoon on Saturday, December 5th. The tree lighting ceremony will begin at 4:00. That leaves a nice amount of time to shop, explore, walk our new breakwater, grab a snack or some cocoa, and maybe get some one on one time with Santa himself.
Pick #2: Family Holiday Present Workshop at Maritime Gloucester
What a great way to get in some family time while also hand-making holiday gifts for those special people on your list.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2015, 10:00 AM TO 12:00 PM
REGISTRATION : $5.00 PER CHILD (MEMBERS), $8.00 PER CHILD (NON-MEMBERS)
AUDIENCE: FAMILIES
Come spend the morning at Maritime Gloucester making nautical inspired crafts..the perfect handmade holiday presents. Ages 5 to 12 years. Cost is $5 per child members, $8 per child non-members. Parents/Guardians are required to attend. The workshop will take place in the Sarah Fraser Robbins Classroom accessed from the walkway to the pier.
Pick #3: Christmas at Castle Hill, Ipswich
Surely this event will be gorgeous and should get even the biggest curmudgeon into the holiday spirit….
Kick off your holiday season with us. Tour the Great House beautifully decorated for Christmas. With a nod to the great polar expeditions of the 1920s, you’ll see outdoor adventure paraphernalia, polar-inspired decorations, and a magnificent ice sculpture. Enjoy live music and dance, interactive activities, and warm cookies and cider. On Sunday afternoon, 2 pm-4pm, visit with the North Pole’s greatest celebrity Santa Claus.
Find that perfect holiday gift at the Castle Hill gift shop or the Harbor Sweets pop-up store. Please consider bringing a pair of warm new socks to benefit needy children through Ipswich Caring.
