Rossville Community Library Announcent

The Rossville Community Library

has temporarily closed their doors

due to the COVID-19 outbreak

as a preventative measure.

There wasn't a posted re-opening
date on their facebook page,

but it is safe to assume that when

the schools reopen in 2 weeks

I am sure the library will be

open as well.

I will miss my students during

this voluntary quarantine.

Vitamin C, frequent hand washing,

turning off the t.v., getting outside

when you can, opening windows on

the warmer days will help with

overall body health and well being.

If there is anything to learn from this

current situation is being proactive is

key. Eat less sugary snacks, walk

more, get enough sleep, and be thankful.

I am happy and grateful to know

you all. See you soon!!

God bless and be well!!

March birthdays!!

In my family March is a BIG

birthday month.

Since my husband's birthday 
this year falls on

Thursday, March 12th,

I won't be teaching classes

that day.

 _____________________________________

No classes on

Thursday, March 12th.

____________________________

For those that paid for a full month of

classes in February, you will subtract

one class from your March total

due to a cancellation that I made this month.

March has 4 Thursdays.

No class on March 12th equals

3 classes in March.

Those that paid for classes in

February and want to pay for the

month of March = $20

Everyone else,

 3 classes x $10 = $30

Drop-ins = $15

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!

 

I hope to see you in the New Year!!

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!!

It's official!!!

FaceBook Break

She may be hard to see 

in this dark photo 

but this is our newest addition to the farm. 

Cats really do understand 

the power of the nap!

If you are connected to my

"Yoga with Cat McMahon"

facebook page,

you may have noticed that I am

no longer on that social media platform.

I am taking the summer off from that

media, and I have been

consciously watching where I spend my

time with regards to the internets.

I am going to at least take the summer off

and then reassess my relationship to

social medias. There is so much to do in

this short life that we are blessed to have, 

and I want to make the most of it.

All my classes are continuing 

throughout the summmer....

so I hope to see you on the mat!!

Love,

~ Cat

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.

of Yoga classes for 2016.

Reminder for RCL students past and future

Yoga classes resume 

Thursday, September 1st,

at the 

Rossville Community Library.

Stay cool and hydrated!!

Have a great summer 

and I will see you very soon on the mat.

 

Never a dull moment!!

Because I will be attending a "Bee Doctor" workshop 

in Boulder next weekend, 

I won't be teaching class 

on Thursday, May 12th,

Since everyone (including myself) 

usually has a busy summer, 

I am not going to be teaching Yoga 

at the library this summer.

A class for everyone! No Yoga experience needed.

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.

Namaste`

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`

Thursday class REVISITED

I am attempting to recruit Yoga students for a second Yoga class on

Thursdays from 6:30 - 8 pm.

If you are interested in a class, I need 4 students minimum.

Please either email me at

ardhachandrasana@yahoo.com

 or

let Adrienne at the Rossville Community Library know that you would like to attend a class (and leave your name and number so you will be contacted).

I have one lovely student who would like to take a Yoga class twice a week. 

In other news, the Sunday Yoga class has been filling up lately. Not completely full.....not yet. If you are interested in a Yoga class, now would be a great time to start. The Sunday class has many new-to-Yoga students. We will be focusing a lot on form so that you will feel comfortable practicing at home with confidence. The Rossville library also has some wonderful Yoga books that you can check out to help you along the way.

As always, email me with any further questions.

Namaste`

Too tired to teach

No class today. 

I am recovering from some illness along with a nasty 

perimenopausal headache. 

No fun. 

I am pretty much ready for this

perimenopausal stuff to be over. 

oh well

See you next week. xoxo

Class cancellation.

I feel yucky 

so I won't be teaching Yoga class today.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Take care and be well.
