Caretakers House Yoga Today (Feb. 16) & Friday + Saturday Classes at the Yoga Loft

hi to all, and happy new moon!

this weekend was the darkest new moon of the year, where they say that anything you say, think, or chant, is magnified 1000 times. it's a very auspicious time! so hopefully you had some good thoughts & intentions to bring into manifestation, and if you haven't, you still can at any time (and especially during your yoga practice).

so... speaking of practice, i'm writing to remind you all that class is happening tomorrow at the caretakers house, as it's the 3rd tuesday of the month. you can rsvp here or just in a reply to the message. rsvp's are not mandatory, but it does help to get a sense of the space needed for the class in setting up the room. additionally, please note - class is free for anyone who wants it to be (& i am more than happy for people to take the class for free)! at the same time, any donations that people want to give will be put towards good causes. and, any donations tomorrow will go towards helping bring courtney & chris home from south america! or you can just go here to read all about their trip & their siatuation, & donate to them: http://biketourperu.blogspot.com

for those of you who don't know, chris & courtney are the original supporters & facilitators of the caretakers yoga class, as they allowed me to start having it there a couple of years ago. you may have seen them in a past class! they have been away for awhile on a bike adventure and are just finishing up, just could use some help in funding their return home, as times are tight.

since caretakers house class is on the 1st & 3rd tuesdays of the month, the next class (after tomorrow's) will be tuesday march 2nd.

also, as a recycled reminder, i'm teaching a new gentle hatha yoga class on saturdays from 12:45-2pm at the yoga loft, in a similar style as the tuesday night class. i'm excited to finally teach on a weekend for those who can't make the tuesday night time, or for those who might want to add a second class.

friday i'm teaching restorative yoga as usual each week from 11-12:30 at the yoga loft. details are below. it's a great way to end the week & begin the weekend, clear away some stress & refresh the soul.

if any of those times fit your schedules, it would be great to see you there! both of the yoga loft classes are $10.

thanks & see you soon,
jessie

description: 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... and re-setting, exploring, rejuvenating intentions.
