Saturday Morning Yoga is Back!
I can’t tell you how happy I am to tell you that Saturday morning yoga, a 90-minute class from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. is BACK beginning this week, Saturday, June 13. I’ve missed it and I know you’ve missed it. This will be a happy, joyful, active class, with some musical treats. I look forward to seeing you there!
Please note: If you’re an absolute beginner (meaning, you’re new to yoga, unfamiliar with the yoga vocabulary, out of shape, at risk of injury, or unclear about your own limitations), it would be a good idea to come to a couple of Tuesday or Thursday morning classes before attending Saturday morning. It’s not an advanced class by any means, but there will be plenty of standing poses and flow sequences.
Monday night yoga class replaces Tuesday
Beginning in June, the regular Tuesday evening class will move to 6 p.m. Mondays. Thursday evening will stay as scheduled.
Morning classes move to 8:30 a.m.
Beginning immediately, morning classes will start at 8:30 and end at 9:45.
Annual New Year’s Day Yoga Workshop
For the seventh year (can it really be?), I’ll be holding a yoga workshop on Jan. 1.
We’ll start at 10 a.m. with active yoga, then break for a walk up Salmon Creek Road (rain or shine!), and then have a lovely restorative yoga session before wrapping things up by 2 p.m.
People at all levels of practice are welcome.
The cost for the workshop is $20.
Reservations are required.
This is my absolute favorite way to start the year and I hope you’ll join me once again.
Namaste,
Suzi

About Yoga and Allergies
There are a couple of new things you might want to check out at my essay blog, Yoga Like Salt:
The site has a new design, which I think is more elegant. Although I have to say, it’s a work in progress, and I hope to gain the skills to tinker with some of the design elements even more.
I’ve posted an essay about yoga and allergies that some of you may find interesting. This is the time of year when North Coast allergy sufferers begin to feel the effects of the color yellow. Are you wondering what I meant by that? You’ll have to read the essay to find out, but here’s a hint:

WoYoPraMo Continues!
Update: After gathering a group of yogis together for the challenge of practicing every day in January. (It was a great way to kick off the new year, and I only missed a couple of days with the stomach flu!), WoYoPraMo is continuing as an online yoga community and practice support group. Here’s an opportunity to band with yogis around the globe and motivate yourself to keep practicing in the New Year: Here’s a link to the site. Consider joining us in practice!
Yoga Gift Ideas
Gift certificates, Yoga Bodega t-shirts, yoga equipment, and yoga-inspired books and music all make great gift ideas for your favorite yoga enthusiast.
I’ve put a selection of items together for you in the new Yoga Bodega Store. Along with some favorite books and music, there are also cork yoga blocks and thin, sticky yoga mats in a variety of colors (and at a great price, too!).
Namasté and Blessed Be.
