Progress!!

 It's hard for me to express how excited I am that I FINALLY got my Rode GO wireless microphone to work!! Sure it was just two days of frustration and LOTS of research and I was thinking that the microphone was broke. And just as I was thinking this was a hopeless cause, IT WORKED!!!

My computer is a Macbook Pro 2009. She works great except I was afraid that this technology was too new. After 3 different adapters that I purchased separately plus the one that came with the microphone, we seem to be in business. I did another test just moments ago on Zoom and everything checks out GREAT!! (Can you tell I am excited??????)

As I have stated in the past, I plan on teaching some free short classes to get used to the Zoom platform. 

Thanks for your patience. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Potential issues with weather

While I do post cancellations on 

this website and also text my regular

students if I cannot make it to teach,

sometimes technologies do not

work so well out "in the boonies"

where we live.

If the weather seems dangerous

but you haven't heard from me

I would still stay home to be safe.

My text may come through later

that evening, or even the next day.

Currently the roads are really dangerous

here on our country roads. My husband's

truck slipped into a ditch yesterday

morning as he was driving to work.

Now that truck needs to be towed

in town to get it serviced.

Please be safe. I will assess the

situation as early as I can to determine

if we will be having classes this week.

 Be safe everyone!

 

No class tomorrow

No class will be held

at the library

on Thursday, January 2nd.

_____________________________

If you are planning on attending

class on Thursday, January 9th,

then you will either pay for 

4 weeks

@ $10.00 per class 

which equals $40.00

or

$15.00 drop-in fee.

 ___________________________________

If I happen to cancel a class,

we would make up that lost class

the next month and deduct it 

from what is owed at the 

beginning of the

following month.

____________________________________

Starting in January 2020, all

new students will be given a 

hand-out of the foundational work

we do every week. If you have back,

knee, or hip pain, this foundational

work is exactly what you need

to move in the direction of

stability and strength.

Be prepared to be challenged in

a good way. If you cannot do the

harder poses in class due to

tightness or a previous injury, there

is always a way to modify the pose.

My job is to teach you how to move

in your body in a healthy and safe

manner. Questions are always welcome.

Happy New Year!!

Happy Holidays

No Yoga classes 

the last week of December.

Have a Merry Christmas

and a

Happy New Year!!!

It's official!!!

Can you tell I am excited about this workshop???

Hi Everyone!!

I hope you are able to enjoy the cooler temperatures this weekend! We all needed a break from the relentless heat.

As you can see, I will be teaching a shoulder health workshop this fall. For those that attended my "Healthy Feet for a Healthier You" workshop over a year ago, this workshop will have a similar approach. 

Essentially, there will be a power-point presentation, exercises with and without the Yoga Therapy Balls, and LOTS of information on healthy movements for your shoulders. I will go over basic alignment cues so that we have a neutral starting point. Everyone will work within their natural range-of-motion, so this class is great for almost everyone.

That said, if you have a chronic problem, frozen shoulder, or another issue that you are seeing a doctor about PLEASE talk to your doctor before attending this class. 

I am NOT a physical therapist. I AM someone who is passionate about learning how to stay healthy and strong for the rest of my life. I would love to share with you what I have learned from many anatomists, physical therapists, bio-mechanists, and other researchers on overall body health.

I hope you will join me on this quest for a healthier life through healthy movements.

See you soon!!

Ayurveda, Yoga's sister science

Happy Mother's Day

weekend, everybody!!!

I hope you are all able to enjoy the last few days, 

which have been gloriously lovely.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am putting together some information about the body constitutions, 

also known as the "Doshas." I will be bringing in (hopefully next week) a Dosha Test for everyone to take plus a foods list which will suggest foods that are good for your Dosha.

Yay!!! I love this nerdy stuff. You will learn a lot in a short time and I hope it is fun and informative for you. 

See you on the mat.

Yoga classes for the rest of 2016

and avoid any confusion,

I will not be teaching Yoga

for the 

last two weeks of December.

Next week will be the last week 

of Yoga classes for 2016.

Please see the poster below this post 
for info on a 
wonderful restorative 
Yoga class

on

New Year's Day.

Happy holidays, 

Merry Christmas, 

and Happy New Year!

Much love from my family to yours!!

 

Restorative class alert!!!

Yoga Props Suggestions

From time to time I receive questions on where I buy my Yoga props. I have even had business owners that I rented Yoga teaching space from want to purchase my props when I moved. And no, I did not sell those props.

I put together a little link box just to the left of this message at the top of the smaller left column for easy access.

• My cotton blankets are from Yoga Props. 
• My thicker bolsters are from Hugger Mugger, as well as their 4-inch thick blocks and cotton straps (with metal D rings which make them weight baring).
• The squishy rectangular bolsters are from It's Simply Zen (though they seem to be out at the moment). The company that makes the bolsters is Manduka. I also have Manduka wool blankets that I love in the wintertime!
• The Yoga Center of Lawrence, where I first started teaching Yoga way back in 1999, has nice props from a small Yoga business in Dallas called Yoga Mart. I have only purchased books from Yoga Mart, but I thought I would put Marge's store in the mix since I know she sells quality products.

I hope that helps!!

Never a dull moment!!

Because I will be attending a "Bee Doctor" workshop 

in Boulder next weekend, 

I won't be teaching class

Since everyone (including myself) 

usually has a busy summer, 

I am not going to be teaching Yoga 

at the library this summer.

at the Rossville Community Library

So one more Yoga class in two weeks

New Yoga Classes in 2016!!!!

Classes start at the

Rossville Community Library this

Thursday, January 7th.

(No class on Thursday, January 14th.)

Classes held at the Rock Building

will start on Tuesday, January 19th.

Classes at the Prairie Band Potawatomi

Elders' Center

will start on Monday, January 25th.

I will be attending a Yoga anatomy workshop the second week in January, thus the later start dates for most of my classes. Thank you for your patience. My teacher, Judith H. Lasater, has not taught the Yoga and Anatomy workshop since 2011 (when I first took this workshop with Judith) and I am excited about this opportunity to take it again.

Please check back often, since there will be many opportunities this year to attend new and fun classes.

I hope to see you on the mat.

New Workshops Coming Up in the New Year!

I am excited to announce 

a new Foundations Workshop 

that will be focusing on your feet. 

The first class will be taught at the 

Rossville Community Library.

After that, I will be pursuing other locations to teach this important and informative class.

This is a class about foot health with the most up-to-date bio-mechanical info on what your feet need in terms that anyone can learn and then incorporate into daily life. You will learn easy exercises, foot anatomy, and suggestions on what footwear will benefit your feet the most.

Check back in January for more details!

Namaste`

Strong foundations

Last night's class was a wonderful surprise. We had 11 students total, which is a record for that location. I definitely will bring more props from home for future classes just in case everyone returns for more fun.

I did have one student inquire about an advanced class I might be teaching. I hope I addressed that student's questions fully. After a little reflection, this is what I would like to say in general about my classes.

If you attend on a regular basis, you will not only receive individual attention to what you need to work on in your Yoga practice,

you will also receive instructions on how to improve your flexibility, strength, and stamina while learning about anatomy and proper alignment.

What is wonderful about working with a teacher on a regular basis is that you can see the teacher's progression within the asana to help the student receive more profound instructions.
I know this to be a fact for me, personally.

 I attend as many Yoga workshops as I can with senior level teachers Judith Lasater and Doug Keller. Videos can be helpful but nothing compares to a direct connection to a teacher who can give you immediate feedback. What those teachers (and many others in the past) have given to me is priceless.

Again, I really enjoyed the energy of last night's class. 

Thank you to all who attended.

I look forward to seeing you on the mat.

Namaste`
