Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,

Yes, you deserve this week, this week to RESTORE!!! We worked very hard on the mat last week with weights, and our plank challenge at 90 seconds. This week we will stretch profoundly with support, as we restore, renew, and relax!!!

Our meditation focus is to LET GO, as you listen to music for balancing the Heart Chakra. Our Sanskrit focus is Anahata, or the the fourth Chakra, the heart, and its unstruck sound. Our mudra (hand gesture) support is the Vatu or Wind Mudra for supreme relaxation and calmness.

Our seasonal Drum Circle meets this Sunday, from 5-6 p.m., and it is FREE. Bring a drum or rhythm instrument of choice, as we connect to the Heart Beat of the Universe.

Our 10th anniversary week long celebration is just around the corner!!! It begins with a full day of activities on 10/16!!! Deb will offer a FREE Yin/Meditation class from 9:30-11:00 a.m. Kim will offer a Reiki Group Healing workshop from 11:30-12:30 by donation. Ansley and Monica will lead a Yogapuncture Workshop form 3-5 p.m.. You must pre-register for this last event of the day, and the cost is $40. Space is limited, and there are just a few remaining, so sign-up ASAP!!! There will be prize drawings at each of Deb’s classes all week, and if you bring a friend to class ( newbies), then you both will practice for FREE!!! Sophie will offer an Ayurvedic Yoga Class on 10/22, and the cost will be $12. We will conclude our 10th anniversary celebration with a special Drum Circle on Sunday, 10/23, from 5-6 p.m. We hope you can join us for some or all of these events, and help us celebrate!!!

As always, we can’t wait to see you on the mat!!!—Namaste’, Deb
