April, gone already?!
Spring has arrived...hopefully for good this time. Seeing the sunshine cast through the studio windows seems to emphasize how warm and inviting our space is.
This month has seen a whirl of activity at the studio:
- Tracy has left her role as Office Manager and I've slipped into it. Tracy, thanks for all your hard work, we'll miss you...until we see you next time for yoga class!
- The BalancedYoga teacher-training group met. It's wonderful to see the students put together and implement the skills they've been taught. If you're interested in joining the next teacher-training group check back for the time and date of the next orientation meeting later this coming month.
- We were blessed with guest teacher, Dr. Ganesh Mohan from Chennai, India, who joined us on his way to the Midwest Yoga Conference. The son of Sri T. Krishnamacharya's students, A.G. and Indra Mohan, Ganesh shared with us some of the wealth of knowledge he has in Ayurveda, allopathic medicine, Yoga Therapy, and the Yoga Sutras (all with an eye to the teachings of Krishnamacharya.) We're very thankful for the three days he spent with us; we all learned so much!
- Our monthly potluck was moved up a week to Saturday the 21st so that we could share our tradition with Ganesh while he was here. Thanks go out to Jay, who opened his house to us (and to Sabrina too!)
- I had the chance to lead a new Spring Detox workshop at BalancedYoga this past Saturday. Students took part in a practice of chanting, pranayama, kriyas, flowing asana, restorative asana, and yoga nidra. We also had the chance to discuss the types of toxins in our lives and how to reduce and deal with them. Detox methods were discussed in the light of yoga as therapy, the Yoga Sutras, ayurvedic medicine, and the kriyas.
-Our Teen Yoga series was launched again. This 6-week series goes through June 8th, meeting on Fridays, 4:30-5:30pm in our studio.
Spring is here and what better way to celebrate
its arrival than to Spread the Balance.
Pick up some of the BalancedYoga postcards
and give them to friends and neighbors...
...students new to the studio have the option of a free class
and/or a 45-minute massage for $25!
Spread the Balance, Spread the Bliss!
shanti,
Julia
