Tonight there is a prediction of severe weather around 5 pm.  Check back to see if class is cancelled.

As with any classes I cancel due to weather or illness, you can either make up the class within the session or receive a credit towards the next session.  Of course, if you have a class punch card  you don't have to worry about those details.

Rescheduling today's free Yoga class

The free Yoga class at Align and Stretch Studio

in Topeka

will be held Saturday, May 14th 

from 8:30 am to 10 am.

I am not feeling well, so I needed to cancel today.

Sorry for the inconvenience to all who showed up.

I do hope that you will attend next week's class.

Thank you.  Happy Mother's Day and have a great weekend.

I am taking the plunge, so I hope the water is warm.....

As you will see in the post below this one, the new Topeka Yoga session starts next week.  I have removed my Friday classes completely.  Since I will be commuting from Delia very soon, I thought that 4 days away from my farm would be enough.  5 was too much commuting.  

Hopefully in the next year or so I will have finished the room above the two car garage into a Yoga space fully equipped with ropes and all the props one might need.  I think a trip to the country for a Yoga workshop and a visit with the animals might be in everyone's future!  Yay!

Two new classes that will be added in May.

Wednesdays:  6 pm - 7:30 ~ Yoga for Beginners

Saturdays:  8:30 am - 10 am ~ Yoga for Beginners

FREE classes

Wednesday, May 4th: 6 pm ~ All levels

Saturday, May 7th: 8:30 am ~ All levels

****New classes added in May.  
Check out the post above for details.*****

I did say that I was going to start some new intro level classes in May.  I do want to add the classes but I am waiting to hear back from Groupon before I make that big plunge.  
The longer I wait the closer I can get the two sessions to run together, 
meaning that I might not transition until June.  
When Groupon makes my deal "live" then I am sure that I will need those extra classes, especially the intro level.  
We will see.  

Again, thank you for your patience with this final transition.  I really care about my Lawrence students very much, so it is hard to think about it ending in a month or two.

This post should be read by all.

I get the impression that people think that by practicing Yoga it will protect them from all afflictions.   Yoga is not a tool to make us invincible (and less in tune with what our body needs).  And yet we inflict certain ideals through our Yogic postures onto our bodies by attempting to be someone else whether that is another Yoga student, teacher or picture in a Yoga magazine.  When we don't listen to our inherent nature we don't nurture ourselves in this present moment, which is the real gift.
