Greetings Yogis and Yoginis!!!

Happy Monday, and Happy December!!! Hopefully, you all had a chance to read the December YFL newsletter. If not, I will add a brief summary of our holiday schedule and events at the end of this blog!!!

This week is “Let’s Weight”, as we power-up our strength, stamina, and power with the use of hand weights and bearing our own body weight. All yoga is good for prevention of osteoporosis, but the use of weights fortifies this benefit.

Our Sanskrit focus is “Maitri” or the practice of friendliness and compassion toward our fellow human beings. The mudra support for this week is the “Pran” hand gesture. It is the mudra for stability, inner peace, stamina, and confidence.

Our music for meditation is “A Place in the Sun” by David Lanz, and our meditation focus is “Compassion”.

Kim’s next Mommy & Me will be on 12/12 from 11 a.m.-noon. Please pre-register and pre-pay for this event. Deb’s next Meditation I class will begin on 1/10, consult the website for all the details. Sophie’s next Ayurvedic Transformation series will begin on 1/19. The deadline for registering for the next Artistry of Yoga 200-hour Teacher Training program is 12/16. Consult the website for all course and class offering details.

The studio will be closed in observance of the holidays for the following dates: 12/23-12/26 and 12/30-1/1. Remember, we have some great, healthy gift ideas for your holiday shopping!!!

We offer our deepest condolences to Sophie with the passing of her dearest mom.

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