Namaste /\
Welcome to this new Sunshine newsletter format, powered by Mail Chimp! I was getting the feeling from everyone that my other albatross -- I mean, newsletter! -- was becoming way too unwieldy, and often difficult to read. I hope this one is more reliably readable, not to mention concise (!), and I would love your feedback about it. Thank you!
Pura Vida, or Bust!
So it looks like our Yoga Teacher Training/Immersion Retreat at the Pura Vida Spa in Costa Rica from Sept. 18-Oct. 9th is really happening! We now have about 7 folks seriously interested, including 2 who will be doing the full 3-week training. Right now we are offering a heapin' $100 discount if you sign up before July 15th, and if you bring a friend, both you and your friend receive $50 off. For more information about the program please click HERE.
Love Yoga, or Else! (don't)
Love Yoga studio is now open and I'll be teaching one class there per week, plus offering regular workshops! In case you haven't heard, Carla Olla has taken over management of Omvibe with a new name, feel, and schedule of happenings. There will be a soft-opening at Love Yoga on Sunday, July 11th, starting at 10 am with a free class taught by Carla herself!
Yoga Boody is My Omie Homie
I would like to add, though, that Yoga Boody is still my yoga home base here in SW Florida. After all it is run and operated almost exclusively by graduates of the Sunshine YTT program, it is the official home of the YTT program, and it also has a very fine collection of yoga books just waiting to be read and/or borrowed. Not to mention it's a truly beautiful homey space, and my favorite place to teach. I/we would so love for everyone who has not come in yet to join us one of these days. You will not be disappointed! Consider joining me today (Thursday) for my Advanced Asana class from 5-6:15, or Saturday for our Partner-Fly-Thai Yoga @ 3 pm. Or Kirtan Saturday night if it rains. And next Thursday we will be offering a special evening of yoga, breathwork, shamanic journeying, and hypnotherapy! Please check the Yoga Boody website for more information about all of the wonderful classes and offerings at the Boody, thank you!
ps. Amy Sowder of the News Press wrote an awesome article about the "Yoga Goes to the Circus" event we had last month at Yoga Boody. Click HERE to read it.
