Windham Police are still looking for a man who reportedly assaulted a yoga instructor after she showed him some yoga moves.

The woman, an employee of Windham Pilates and Wellness Center, reported the alleged assault to police shortly after the incident occurred at around 7 p.m. on Monday, July 1, said Windham Police Chief Gerald Lewis.

She described the suspect as about 5 feet, 10 inches tall with blond hair, possibly in his early 30s. He was wearing a white T-shirt, a gold chain and either jeans or khaki pants at the time of the incident.

Contrary to news reports already published about the incident, Lewis said, the woman was not a victim of a sexual assault in the accepted sense of the term.

“There was an assault that took place that was sexual in nature. There was no rape that took place, and no attempted rape,” said Lewis, adding the assault was of very short duration.

According to the woman’s account, the man entered the studio and asked the woman about some physical therapy exercises he could do for an injury he had sustained.

The assault took place as the yoga instructor demonstrated some exercises. The perpetrator fled upon being confronted verbally with his inappropriate behavior, Lewis said.

The pilates studio was open at the time of the incident, as were several other businesses in the Village Green plaza on Route 111, where the studio is located.

Nobody who was working in any of those businesses saw the suspect, Lewis said, nor was anyone able to provide police with the description of a vehicle in which he may have fled.

Upon taking the report, the Windham Police contacted the police departments in surrounding towns as well as the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Department with a description of the suspect. No leads have been generated thus far, Lewis said, and no similar incidents had occurred in other towns.

Lewis said they are still hoping to identify the man. Anyone with any information regarding the incident should call the Windham Police Department at 434-5577.
