FIRST BLOG EVER!

So we're finally in the 21st century, blogging with the rest of the world, and hoping you'll join in with us.

We have tons of events to share with you and are hoping that you'll help us make the practice yoga community both tight knit and more global.

Here goes:

Practice Yoga Fall 2007

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic summer (I know, I know, it’s not quite over) and that you are ready to get back to class. Fall is the perfect time to reconnect to your yoga practice or to take it to a new level. We have some exciting things planned to help you do just that.

In honor of our 6th anniversary we are offering 6 days of yoga for $6. What a great way to check-out some of our fabulous fall classes, try a new teacher, or challenge yourself to practice everyday for a week!

September kicks off a year-long series of workshops designed to help you deepen your practice and explore new avenues. And there is something for everyone:

• September 15 brings Johnna Smith—senior student of both Baron Baptiste and Rod Stryker-- to Practice yoga Downtown for a “Power Play” intensive. “Power Play” will blend the strength and intensity of Baptiste’s Power Yoga and the sensitivity and introspection of Stryker’s Tantric Hatha. This is a program not to be missed.

• For those of you who want to take things a little slower, we have put together an “Advanced Beginner” series that will begin with Advanced Beginner Back Bends taught by Practice Yoga teacher Paula Lynch ,Sunday September 30, 10-12 Downtown Studio.

• On October 1, 2007 we will begin our first 40-day Practice Challenge. Participants will be asked to commit to a structured program of classes, meditation, and lifestyle changes designed to change your body, change your habits, and dare we say…change your life. In exchange for your commitment –and a little of your sweat—we will provide a structured program, support and buddies, a fantastic goodie bag, and…FREE YOGA (for all those that finish the program). Look for details in the coming weeks.
