What's your motivation for the new year?

In honor of the recent changes, from winter solstice to the holidays to embracing 2011, meditation expert Phillip Moffitt offers some tasty food for thought, asking about our motivations behind our those yearly resolutions. Feel free to check it out and discuss!

But do feel free to spend New Year's with us in our 2nd annual New Year's Day Benefit Class! Practice yoga and help raise funds for one of our ongoing causes, Uganda's House of Hope. Since our last donation class on the 4th of July, we've raised over $800 to help the Ugandan orphanage! Gina Newlin is teaching a 2-hour vinyasa flow to help detox and rejuvenate you for the new year. Need a fresh start to the new year? This is it!

To learn more about the House of Hope Initiative, check out our last blog entry or visit the House of Hope page on Facebook and the World Action for Humanity website. We look forward to seeing you there!

Flowing, Flying & Jamming this Friday!

Join us for Flow & Fly this Friday night, the last one offered in 2010! This dynamic class blends Yoga, Thai Massage and Acrobatics. You can explore more integrated sequences, inversions and partner acrobatics. It can turn your world upside down as demo'd by Zainab in Star! Joyful, playful, and a great workout! No partner required. All levels welcome.

And stay after class for our first ever Acro Jam! Jams are a great way to work on what you've learned in Flow & Fly or try new things with the support of a room full of playmates and spotters. We'll wrap up the festivities with the deliciousness of Thai bodywork and desserts of the sweets and wine variety. Whether this will be your first class or you've been a frequent flyer, it's sure to be an acrolicious evening! Bring friends!

Please note, the Acro Jam is free if you take Flow & Fly first or $5 at the door if you're only able to show up for the jam. We'd love to see you this Friday!

Stealing bad, self-care good!

This month's newsletter asks you to give to yourself during this frenzied time of year, by tuning in with one of the yamas (aka self-restraints), asteya or nonstealing. In a Yoga Journal blog post, an NYC yoga instructor offers a similar take on the concept. Feel free to check it out, then give yourself a treat! Perhaps a yoga class at the studio? =)

Enough is Enough, Yoga Journal

Join Huck at the Finger Lakes Fall Yoga Retreat this weekend!

The Finger Lakes Fall Yoga Retreat kicks off this weekend in Auburn, Nov. 13-14! The same folks who offered the first annual Finger Lakes Yoga Festival this past August are offering another opportunity to explore the area's yoga in one place. More than 10 instructors from the region, including the retreat's organizer and MY instructor Huck Ingles, will offer 20 workshops and classes in various traditions including Kundalini, Thai Yoga Massage, Acrobatic Yoga and Power Yoga. Sounds like a nice fall treat to make up for chipping at the frost on the car windows this past week, right?

Check out the event's full schedule online. And feel free to join Huck at his classes, The Basics of Power Yoga, Saturday 2-3:30pm, and Dissecting the Dog (Downward Dog, that is!), Sunday 12-1:30pm.

Flow & Fly tonight!

Flow & Fly with Gina starts tonight! For this month and December, Gina is teaching a 90-min class for all levels every other Friday at 7:30pm.

Flow & Fly classes blend the three ancient lineages of Yoga, Thai massage, and acrobatics to form the foundation of a unique partner practice. All levels of yogis are invited to come and find their Yoga practice challenged and expanded. Come support and be supported. No partner required. Joyful, playful and a great workout! We can't wait to see you on the mat!
