dear yoga-practicing friends,
this is a reminder about the usual yoga classes that i'm teaching this week: tuesday community class at the caretakers house and friday restorative at the yoga loft. come if you can! details are at the bottom of this message. we've been scanning the chakras at the end of class over the past week and will continue to do so this week. (don't worry if you don't know what that means!)
also, please save the date for the next acoustic music night at the yoga loft. the theme will be healing sounds, sacred spaces. friday october 23rd with sonya cotton, heather normandale (stitchcraft), & loft teachers lauren brown, carlin chew, & marni sclaroff. it promises to be a special night, and will be even more special if you can make it! (seriously.)
a few more announcements:
*every Sunday at the yoga loft, there's a vedanta meditation class with great discussion on yoga philosophy; and i highly recommend it, if you're interested in going beyond the poses or exploring meditation theory... it's from 5-6:30. everyone is welcome. regular class fees do apply. let me know if you'd like more info...
*there are $10 community classes happening everyday at the yoga loft. check their schedule if you want to see when, at http://theloftsf.com ... going to those classes is a great way to practice more if you're not wanting to pay for the regular priced classes.
*also, some of you have asked about classes that are in a similar style to the ones i teach on tuesdays. for a similar pace/style, i recommend the integral yoga institute (right by dolores park), and teachers kate truka, vanessa verlee, and kristie dahlia home. (look 'em up or i can send you their info.)
*last but not least, if you are wanting to delve deeper in your practice and try out some workshops, there are advanced studies workshops happening every weekend at the yoga loft... Seated Poses & Forward Bending - Opening the Hips, Quieting the Mind with Tony Briggs is the one happening this Saturday.... you can take just the asana part from 12:30-2, or go the whole day from 12:30-6.
that's it for now! perhaps will see you soon.
ommm shanti

this is different from a regular yoga class, in that you do less poses and hold them for a longer amount of time in a non-strenuous way, all propped up, so the body can relax more deeply... focus is on the breath and gentle opening of places where we hold extra tension and stress...
