Yoga/Wednesday/The Church of the Brethren

Hello my yoga friends,

I discovered some extra upper body movements we can do (for our newest member Carole) and we will do some new work with our “bands.” If you have a band, please bring it. We can all share. If everybody arrives a little bit early, or at last on time, we will get started right away. Julie purchased a foam block. I will have her demonstrate the use of a block. If you have one of your own, please bring it along. Once we all have one, we will progress to block positions.

We continue to add new things each week. Our group is taking a nice turn and it’s really so good to see each of you making progress. We are having fun and getting and staying fit. Working with you is such a positive part of my week. I trust it is for you as well.

See you on Wednesday. (6 to 6:50 pm)
I have a mid-week service at my church in Del Ray at 7:30 pm, so we will try to dismiss promptly at 6:50 pm.

Namaste!

imageSo……Wednesday the 20th we will meet at 6 pm in Fellowship Hall, our newest location. Please park in the side lot, and walk up the sidewalk and enter through the double doors. If you will be coming for the first time, please try to arrive by 5:45 pm so we can complete your paperwork. Our class will dismiss promptly at 6:50 pm.

Bring a small blanket with you and your yoga mat. Water is important in this heat, so be sure to bring some with you.

Looking forward to being with you in our new location. Oh, and Rev Nancy is on vacation until August 1st, but be sure to thank her for arranging for us to meet at her church on Wednesdsy evenings. It’s a perfect spot for us and we now have wall space  God is good

See you then!

Welcome to Yoga at The Church of the Brethren

Hello Yoga Peeps,

Our first six-week yoga class for Men and Women has just begun at The Church of the Brethren, at 300 N. Montague Street in Arlington, VA 22203. Our class is every Wednesday from 6 to 6:50 pm, and is located on the lower level, up the sidewalk from the parking lot.

Our class is a gentle and basic yoga class, designed to teach you posture and good breathing techniques, to help you to release and relieve stress, reduce tension, improve circulation and learn to relax while learning the fundamentals and positions of gentle yoga. The class is for beginners and those with less than two years of yoga experience.

You may phone us at 703-548-1882 to sign up for our class or email us at contessashome@gmail.com. Please call us directly. Please do not phone the church offices for class information. We have secured space at the church for our class, and all questions regarding the class should come to us directly. Thank You!
TIME: 6:00 pm to 6:50 pm
Six-Week Class Dates:
July 6, 13, 20, 27,
August 3, & 10th
Please do not hesitate to join us even if you missed starting with us on July 6th. Our six week sessions are ongoing so you will just continue into our next six-week session once we get to the last class on August 10th.

$9.00 per class – or $45 for all six classes. Please arrive fifteen minutes early for your first class so that time permits to complete the required paperwork. Fees will be payable prior to the beginning of each class session. Please again call us if you have any questions.

We have a unique class offering. When you pay in advance for six weeks and for some reason cannot attend, you never loose a class. If you cannot attend you will not loose money or a session. Always make up a class by simply “showing up.” Our classes are continuous, so come join when you can, and be sure to sign in for each class. This helps us keep track of your yoga practice hours. There may come a day when you wish to advance yourself in the yoga discipline and an accurate record of your practice hours will benefit your training

Lastly, we have a blog which began when we owned a retail store in Del Ray. We post daily on this blog. We provide yoga info updates, gardening tips, and postings for our eBay and etsy e-commerce activity. Visit our blog at our web address: Contessas.net Please check it out!

Using our blog is the best way for us to keep you updated on any schedule changes and to help you keep abreast of new things we will be doing in our classes. We may use the blog to communicate schedule adjustments or class assignments.

You may wish to know that we also have an every Thursday class right up the street at the Arlington Forest UMC. Same time – 6 pm. This class does not meet the first Thursday if the month as we have another commitment

It is joyful and fulfilling to work with all my new and returning students. The best part is we are all working toward good health and a longer more fulfilling and peaceful life. Our bodies, our minds and our souls are growing.
Namaste!
