Yoga class changes in January, '08

Dear Yoga Friends

Happy New Yoga

Whatever the new year brings will
mostly likely include change,
so best wishes on your changes!

I am also teaching yoga at a new space-
at the Lutheran Church across from Northern
Westchester Hospital in Mt Kisco. It is a large space
with a hard, new carpet, 12 foot high ceiling height,
a long stretch of wall for support, in the common area
at the back of the church. And it is plenty warm.
(There is also classroom space).
Classes are $15, tentatively scheduled for :
Sunday at 1pm,
starting on January 20,
and
Monday or Tuesday evenings, perhaps at 6:15pm.
People at the church are also interested
so the class scheduling may be tweaked.
I could also add another class time, not in the morning,
Friday seems a possible alternative.

It's possible that I will teach a once a week yoga class
in Lincolndale, if scheduling works out for using the
clubhouse at the lake.

Where does that leave my Yoga On Main classes at Rudy's?
I will still teach class there, but I anticipate
a "freeze our butts at Rudy's" possibility during
January, February and March. Opinion is leaning
heavy toward a change in venue for the season or longer,
even though Rudy's was convenient in the center of town.

If interested, please give me your opinion or question
about the new class space, new class times.
--------------------------

Coming up this Friday, January 11, at 10am -
I'll be giving a presentation about yoga & health, at Border's in Mt Kisco. There will be some simple exercises to explain of our physical and mental anatomy, as affected by yoga and meditation practice.
I anticipate talking about relaxation, being present, how our breathing
mechanism works, also considering asthma or other respiratory ailments,
how to improve digestion, lose weight, lower blood pressure and....
breathing exercises for emotional stresses.
(If only I could put it in a bottle mixed with herbal oils,
I'd hitch up my wagontrain and go on the road.)
There will be lots of advice on how to start out with yoga,
because it is important not to be moving in ways that might cause injury.
Often, yoga classes, at the gym or in yoga studios, are much too aggressive
for many people.

Please come and/or invite someone who'd be interested.
It is part of Border's New Year's event entitled "Start Fresh".
Namaste,
