I recently received the newsletter from a yoga studio in NC where I attend classes once in awhile. They said they offer "real yoga for real people". I really like that. That is also what we aim to do at The Yoga Studio.

If you have been afraid to try yoga because of glossy pictures of beautiful people doing what look to be impossible yoga poses...well, we are NOT about that!

If you've had a bad experience in a yoga class because the teacher was asking you to do postures that weren't right for you or because you felt you had to keep up with the other students.....well, we are NOT about that!

Our teachers are experienced at meeting your needs and will provide you with proper and safe alignment instruction, posture modifications that will make a pose more comfortable in your body, and prop use options to improve your experience with each pose. You always have the option to "opt" out of a particular posture at any time.

At The Yoga Studio, we respect that every student who walks through our doors is on his/her own unique journey and has his/her own personal and individual reasons for taking Yoga. It's our job to meet you where you are on your path!

We have fun & friendly classes! Our classes are held on the 2nd floor of the Zen Center in a spacious, light, fresh air studio. The Zen Center provides us with a very peaceful environment in which to practice. We are blessed to have it!

I hope you will think about joining us in a yoga class this fall. Our first class of the season starts Saturday, Sept. 8th at 9:30 a.m. Please go to our website for more information at TheYogaStudioBRV.com.

In peace & joy,
Kathy

Our kids have too much stress! January 9th, we are offering a new class: Adult & Child Yoga, for children ages 6-18. We have had many requests for this type of class from worried mothers in the last 6 months. I am hopeful that this will be a fun class for Mom's/Dad's (grandparents, aunts & uncles, Big Brothers...all are welcome) To share with their kids. We'll do some challenging & playful partner poses the kids will enjoy. I'm sure the kids will also have great fun showing off to their parents how flexible they are. Parents, prepare to be humbled!

Together, on Saturday, Nov. 14, we explored various ancient energy maps and doorways into raising Prana (energy) awareness. I'm so grateful to those who participated and felt sufficient abandon and joy to skip around the room with me!

I'm so excited about our upcoming workshop (Sat., Nov. 14): Exploring the Deep Practices. At present, this is the culmination of my practice and teaching of 30 years. in this workshop, I will introduce students to the personal exploration of tools and techniques which are useful for diving deeper into a Yoga practice, to awaken to the flow of Prana (life force) and to discover and tap into Divine energy. Teachers of Kripalu Yoga honor that every individual has their own unique path; we are here to support you in finding that path. Find out more at TheYogaStudioBRV.com.
