YOGA – Coming Together

Hello my yoga peeps,

Our next Thursday in Arlington will be the 9th of June. I have a First Thursday event in Del Ray on the 2nd, so no Arlington yoga class that Thursday evening.

Our group is somewhat divided, given our two locations, Del Ray and Arlington. From what I hear, most of you would like to attend two classes each week.

Moving forward we have some new options. I would very much like it if all of you could attend our June 9th class in Arlington.  I would like you to know each other, and I’d like to have a small meeting at the end of our class. We need to strategize how we can best structure days and times and a location for everyone. We have a great group. For the sake of logistics, it is time for me to combine you into one group class. From personal experience in a group practice, logistically it is more beneficial to practice “together” as one larger class. We feed off each other’s strengths and learning experiences, and it’s just more fun.

I am very pleased that we are all at the same level in our learning. And I want to begin stretching our yoga practice to push us a little more, so that we continue to gain additional flexibility and more yoga practice knowledge.

Please let me know if you can come to this class/meeting on June 9th,Thursday in Arlington.

Thank you so much for following me as we move forward in our new yoga experiences.

Namaste!

See you all this evening at 6 pm. Our class is moving along with some new positions. Stretching and balance are our current focus. We have come a long way. We are spiritually connecting to God and each other. And we laugh a lot. Learning from each other is important,  and we assist each other with new positions. It’s so encouraging.

Contessa’s Amazing White Orchid

We posted in March that our orchid had been without blossoms for several months. Here it is May 5th and she is blooming strong. Not one blossom has fallen off. We marvel at the longevity of this wonderful flowering houseplant. If you use a weekly watering regimen and fertilize once a month, your orchid specimen will pay you back with lasting beauty.
