Siskiyou County Six-Week Spring Yoga Series Builds Community Through Progressive Practice

Instructor Courtney Chase opened her six-week Springtime Evening Yoga Series at The Giddy McCloud in downtown McCloud on March 31, bringing structured progressive practice to Siskiyou County one Tuesday evening at a time. The next session runs April 7 at 5:30 PM, with four weeks remaining in the series through May 5.

The format is deliberately sequential rather than drop-in. Each class builds on the last, moving through alignment work, breath-led flows, mobility sessions, and restorative practice across the six weeks. The 5:30 PM Tuesday time slot targets working adults who cannot commit to morning classes, putting after-work movement squarely on the calendar.

The setting gives the series a specific texture. The Giddy McCloud, a 1930s building at 424 Main Street that once served as the workforce cafeteria for a local lumber mill before becoming a dance hall, holds a 14-foot coffered ceiling and hand-stenciled wood beams. It sits 15 minutes from Mount Shasta in the historic core of McCloud, a setting that trades the generic strip-mall studio for something with genuine regional character.

The series closes May 5 with a collaboration from Ritual Sauna, a Northern California mobile wood-fired sauna and cold plunge operation that partners with yoga studios, wellness retreats, and endurance events across the region. The closing-night pairing turns the final class into a multi-discipline community wellness event, the kind of cross-promotion that increasingly defines how rural instructors build memorable programming around what would otherwise be a single yoga session.

For Chase, whose Instagram presence under @courtneychaseyoga reflects an active local teaching practice, the six-week block provides the room to sequence themes with intention. For participants, it offers a structured spring commitment in a county where that kind of programming is not always easy to find.
