My invitation to you this spring: set an intention for your yoga practice and daily living to cut out all the covert self-aggression that you engage in.
Think about what this means for you. Some possibilities: eating healthier, not pushing/efforting so much in practice, taking time to enjoy the outdoors, being okay with saying "No", scheduling in a little "you-time" everyday or break free from the schedule and try something new... the options are as endless as our individual proclivities.
This May check out our newer classes: Anusara-Inspired (Thursdays), Hathalini (Saturdays), Ashtanga Modified Second Series (Tuesdays), and Mysore (Monday-Fridays.) Time and instructor info can be found on our web site.
Our studio is open for Mysore practice 5:30am-9:30am. This open studio time is a wonderful opportunity for you to develop your personal practice without the distractions often found at home. Students of any tradition are welcome to come practice. A yoga teacher is always available to answer questions or provide adjustments and inspiration.
This May the studio is opening up its wall space! All artists are welcome to submit their work for inclusion in the Balanced Art Gallery. Know an artist...are you an artist?...hang your work in our lobby: a lively, supportive environment. Contact Kari for more details.
This month we'll be offering a new Introduction to Hatha Yoga, 6-week series. Call to voice your interest and get your name on the list.
May 12th we'll be offering a Restorative Yoga workshop for Mother's Day. It will be held on the Saturday before Mother's Day (so as not to conflict with family obligations.) The practice promises to nurture the nurturer with supported poses and balancing breathing techniques designed to ease away stress and tension. Appropriate for students of all skill levels. If you are a mom, have a mom, or know a great mom why not invite her to this refreshing, renewing workshop. Check out the web page for more details. Give her a gift certificate, or come together!
May 20th we'll be hosting an Orientation to Nonviolent Communication. Come find out what's involved and learn more about setting up a practice group. Led by Tracey and Andy of Compassionate Communication-Central Ohio. 7pm at BalancedYoga.
Still looking for a Mother's Day gift? Why not set her up with a gift certificate for a luxurious hour of massage with Tom, our resident massage therapist and yoga instructor... more details can be found on-line, where you can also schedule an appointment.
Coming Up:

Come share your hidden talents with your fellow yogis at the BalancedYoga Talent Night. Mid-June, Friday, 7:30pm.
Raw Food Workshop with Matt Monarch.
