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!

 

Thanks for stopping by!!

Welcome! 

 If you are new to this blog, I mostly post information here on my weekly classes, workshops, class cancellations, and sometimes links to my latest essays on my OTHER blog (see link below).

Essays on Yoga, Ayurveda, and Movement 

As you may have noticed (or even attended the class), I have been teaching a workshop that focuses on shoulder health. Since this is such a broad AND important topic, I hope that you will consider attending one of my weekly classes. 

For the next several months, we will be spending more time getting to know the shoulders with lots of stretches and strengthening exercises. Since I have tight shoulders and you probably do, too, I hope to see you soon in class.

For those that didn't attend the shoulder health classes and would like to purchase some of the Yoga Therapy Balls, please email me. (FYI: The ones that everyone received at the PBPN class yesterday are a slightly larger size than the ones I have for sale.) Please email me at least a day before class just to ensure that I see the email.

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,

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`
