june news 2010

summer is here… longer days, more light, and rising temperatures (especially in the shala!) here’s the news for june:
1. the led LUNCHTIME CLASSES on tuesday and thursday will be CANCELED for the summer months of JUNE, JULY, and AUGUST.

2. there will be a summer yin yoga workshop, focusing on the heart and small intestine meridians, with kathy paez, on sunday, 13 may, from 12pm – 2:30pm. you will be receiving more information about this workshop soon.

3. this month the beginner’s ashtanga workshop will be1 day only, as the full moon falls on the saturday of the last weekend of june. the workshop will be on sunday, 27 june, from 12pm – 2:30pm. please spread the word and encourage interested friends or yoga beginners to join!

4. as you have noticed, it is getting hot in class and i am asking everyone to please dry the area around your mat with your towel when you have finished your practice, so that the area is dry and clean for the following student coming into that space. thank you!

5. just in time for the hot season, a shipment of the indian cotton yoga mats has arrived (for those who prefer to practice with them on top of the sticky mat, as they absorb sweat and provide more traction). they are 20 euros each, and come in a wide array of colors.

6. please remember that when you are sweating this much, it is very important to rehydrate throughout the day, as well as to make sure that you are replenishing your body with the necessary vitamins, minerals, and salt.

7. both moon days fall on saturdays this month, so they will not affect the normal practice schedule of classes. we will be CLOSED on the public holiday of san juan, THURSDAY, 24 JUNE.

8. for those of you, who are already wondering about our schedule in july and august, we will be open all of july as normal and we will be open all of august as well, but perhaps with a slightly reduced schedule of classes. more news about that in the coming months.

lately i have been receiving some lovely feedback from some of you about how much you are enjoying the practice and how much it helps you in your lives. i am glad that through your constant dedication and focus with the practice, that you are feeling its transformative qualities and benefits to your well-being and health!
thank you to all of you! take care… much love and peace, hojung
