Joyful Day! August is a perfect month to restructure our schedules and find a comfortable routine, and I hope you will join me in including some yoga practice into your scheduling. And speaking of routine, the green August we’re having this year is anything but! I’m used to gazing out over a crunchy beige yard and watching thirsty leaves drop from the trees this time of year. Instead, we are being treated to a feast of lush green coolness at a time when we’re used to parched grounds and dust-covered everything. I went to dust my furniture the other day and was amazed to find that it didn’t need it – oh happy day! Perhaps we can use all of this “liveness” in our surroundings to bring about a Springlike energy to the late summer months. Let’s breathe in all that extra oxygen out there and be invigorated by the verdant beauty of this moment right now. Namaste, Margie New Evening Classes Begin Aug 7 at 6:45 Our evening classes will begin next week! Evening classes will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:45 beginning August 7. Come join us!! Welcome Two New Teachers I am most pleased to introduce two fabulous teachers who will be helping me at the studio. Tom Ferree trained under Richard Freeman in California and will be teaching some Saturday classes for me. Tom is easy-going, kind, and encouraging in his teaching style, and we love the smile he always seems to have on his face! Please come and welcome him and try his class THIS SATURDAY, Aug 4 at 10:45. Gaby Frome also trained in California and will be teaching for me as needed. Gaby is calm, introspective and gentle in her teaching style, and I know that you will join me in welcoming her. Welcome Assistant I am also pleased to introduce Mona Desai who is currently assisting me on Tuesday mornings and who is studying to become an RYT. Mona has been a student of mine for some time and we truly enjoy her enthusiastic nature and her loving spirit. No Class Sat, August 18 Please be aware that there will be no yoga class on Saturday, August 18 due to an awesome martial arts tournament being held at our location at Martial Arts Fitness. Mudra of the Month (a mudra is a hand posture) This month, we will be working with Gyan Mudra – formed by placing the tip of the index finger to the tip of the thumb and the rest of the fingers are kept straight together This mudra increases memory power and concentration; reduces mental stress or tension; helps to relieve indecisiveness, depression, frustrations and agitation; evokes a feeling of happiness; can help with sleeping disorders; strengthens the muscular system
