Outdoor Yoga Class – Update

Our Yoga Class on Saturdays outdoors got off to a very slow start. We had only one follower. We think it’s because we did not give folks enough of an advance “heads up.”  Only one announcement was sent out. Now that the Newsletter is being distributed electronically it may have been overlooked. You know – our fast paced lives. We glance at print but do we really take the time to read.

So we have decided to advertise it every month from now until spring as an upcoming SPRING CLASS offering. We still plan to teach it at the triangle open grassy area on Preston/Valley Drive. These days most folks prefer an outdoor setting and the plot at this location is ideal. As we better formulate a way to get the word out, we will keep you posted “here” on our blog with updates. Please do stay tuned!

Thanks so much,

ContessasHome – Blog Update (Revised)

Good Morning,

Beginning in Lent this year we began a daily prayer time on this blog. It has created blessings beyond our blog viewers, to those who also share our gardening passions and labors, and our former Yoga practice followers.

We will begin our mornings now in personal and private prayer time with Jesus. We certainly trust that those of you who were following us in daily morning prayer will continue with your own practice of prayer. If you would like us to continue daily morning prayer time, please do let us know by email (see below)

Going forward we will also now be sharing with our Yoga students re: classes, times to meet up and assignments through communications using this blog. If you happen to be local in the Alexandria, VA area  please consider joining with us in Beginners Yoga For Women and Men. An announcement of first classes will be posted soon. Stay tuned……

We were privileged to have you join us in praising God daily. So in lieu of daily prayer, starting last Friday we began an every Friday Morning Devotional. If you wish to join along in reflection, meditation and prayer you can view our Devotional on Friday mornings. 

Suggestions are encouraged and very welcome concerning our plans going forward.

Saturday Morning Yoga

Our  class had a great stretching workout yesterday. We were all tight and brought some stress with us to our class. We all admitted that at this time of year with so much happening in our lives, Yoga is a great source for us to help keep calm, grounded and well physically.

I love this class.  Thank you for blessing my life  See you all on December 2nd at 10 AM

Let’s touch base when we all get back.  Namaste and Happy Thanksgiving!
