february news 2011

here is the shala news for the month of february:

1. please note that the moon days this month are on THURSDAY, 3 FEBRUARY, and FRIDAY, 18 FEBRUARY. there will be NO class on these days.

2. there will be an introduction to zen meditation workshop with laia monserrat on sunday, 6 FEBRUARY, from 12pm – 2pm. please let me know if you would like to attend as space is limited.

3. aleix griño will continue to be away in february to practice with certified ashtanga teacher, rolf naujokat, in goa, india. also, tere castillo is going to india for the months of february, march, and april to practice in mysore with r. sharath, the grandson of guruji, sri k. pattabhi jois. in their absence, the classes will be taught by vero, sasha, and myself.

4. during these cold months, when entering and exiting the shala, please close the door well (without locking it) as to keep the warm air in and cold air out… likewise, the doors to the practice room should always be kept closed in order to retain the heat. thank you!

5. for those of you who leave your yoga mats, cotton mats, and/ or towels at the shala, please remember to take them home once in awhile to wash. this should be done at least once a month for the cotton mats and once a week for the towels, and more, if you happen to sweat alot or happen to find any of these items to be smelly. thank you!

take care and i hope to see you soon in class! with gratitude... much love and peace... namaste, hojung.
