NEW SCHEDULE BEGINS JUNE 1ST @ THE CLEARING

TUESDAY MORNINGS  9:30 - 10:00 and 10:30 - 11:00 All Levels

THURSDAY AFTERNOONS  3:30 - 4:30 and 5:00 - 6:00 All Levels

IMPORTANT NEW INFO :

All Level classes include centering, warming, breathwork, poses. The small studio allows me to guide entry - advanced levels of ability and to ensure safety, comfort, challenge, depth and fun! Thank you for being fully vaccinated and for being mindful of attending class earlier if you are a townie or coming later if you live in the woods. 5:00 Thurs. can help accomodate those attending Zen at 6:15 or are coming after work.

COST & SCHEDULING:  Classes will cont to be $10 DONATION based. NEW REQUEST:  that you pre-pay (if possible) month by month if you are a "regular." Example : calculate how many times you will  be coming, you know your schedule. If its once a week throw in $40. If its twice do the same or add more mid month. YOU keep track. And If you don't use it are you willing to loose it?  Why? I am committed to teaching Not for Profit & at low cost. But a full class is 8 people (still spaced 6 ft) & when there are multiple last minute cancellations I & ultimately TNHC (our generous host) takes a hit. If you have outside issues that come up, esp regarding health, carry any pre-pay over.  NOTE: TO SECURE YOUR SPOT YOU NEED TO NOTIFY ME A DAY IN ADVANCE OR HAVE ME SCHEDULE YOU AHEAD ON MONTHLY STUDIO CALENDAR. I will do my best to notify you in advance if something comes up with me. Text messaging works best. 

PROPS : I hope to have a half a dozen new blocks in the studio soon & will be using them in some asana. There are blankets, mats, and some straps available.  

MUSIC & CHANTING :  Ancient Sanskrit was sung & changes brain chemistry. I use it & am highly aware of its sacred Indian origin. I also use recorded drum, flute, and bowl tones. 

GUEST TEACHING : I've done some locally and now that the world has opened up I hope to do some in Mpls. Sometimes I wonder " are yo too dang old?" The answer is YES for teaching/doing complicated arm balancing poses, also my Bird of Paradise flew away. But NO for sharing the magic of Kripalu Moving Meditation. Side Note:  i will be returning to the Mother Ship this fall with Sudha Lundeen & assisting her with a program. I'll keep you posted over the summer on any Retreats and if we are able to make a pit stop on the way to Mass to teach.  

* I HAVE A WISH LIST FOR SUMMER SPECIALTY THINGS:           VIGOROUS CLASS FOR YOGIS? A MENS CLASS WITH MY TEACHER TRAINED FRIEND ( A MAN) ? YOGA DANCE WITH DRUMMING ? MEDITATION & YOGA W A COLLEAGUE ?  YOGA & ART? Summer is busy but watch for any of the above.
