Mitchel Bleier Oct. 14 - 17 & D'ana's Nov. Retreat!

Mitchel Bleier Weekend Workshops! October 14-17 $165 for ALL FOUR workshops (all workshops at 9th&9th studio) Friday 7:15-9:45pm "Hip"pie Love (all levels vinyasa) In Sanskrit, "sukha" means easy or content. And that's exactly what we love about this workshop - it's easy on the joints and the long, deep holds make for very happy hamstrings and hips. Saturday 12-2:30pm Open Up (all levels-vinyasa with alignment) Maybe it's time to OPEN UP? To reconsider everything about yourself and your practice. To take your yoga to the next level. To get your arms straight in urdhva dhanurasana and maybe, just maybe press up into a handstand. To laugh in the face of arm balances. To focus on your breath and attempt some of the more challenging poses, just because you can.  Saturday 3:30-5:30pm The Inverted, Twisted Soul Sandwich Have you ever wanted to take a big, delicious, yummy bite out of your soul? You know to taste it so fully-everything you are, everything you've got. Now's your chance cause yoga is so much more than bending or stregthening your body. It's learning to bend your breath and to engage your mind. It's learning to see that life tastes delicious. Oh yeah, that's your soul. Sunday 12-3pm Open Wider (intermediate/advanced-vinyasa) Ever consider flying? What about pausing in mid-air or jumping without making a sound? How about breathing deeper, expanding more, or breaking the "I can't" barriers of your soul? Then it's time to OPEN WIDER. Take this part circus show, part mind-altering, part "here are the secrets no one ever told you" workshop and see how the universe takes on an infinite number of finite possibilites. Or maybe just to have that jaw-dropping, I can't believe what I'm doing moment, or at the worst a good chuckle! To Sign up call (801)521-YOGA, email: dana@centeredcityyoga.info or visit us at the studio

UNLEASH YOUR POTENTIAL! at our next INBODY RETREAT with D'ana Baptiste November 10-14, 2010   "It was my absolute joy to attend the Inbody Retreat...It was through the rich yoga practices she [D'ana] lead, along with the processing and meditations which created context for our experiences, that I saw myself and others truly transform!...The food was great, the staff were totally professional and I could see they were each great leaders, themselves. But the most incredible thing to me, and the reason why I've taken time to write this note, is D'ana's ability to show us her own most authentic self... I learned that there is no greater gift to give a person than to show them who you really are in every moment...  D'ana showed me I could do more than I thought I could. I dusted down through my old beliefs and found that I have a new way to experience myself. From this I have found the kind of transformation that lasts. My spirit and I thank you!"                                                                                                                                     Namaste,                                                                                                                                    -B  Sign up NOW! or email: dana@inbodylife.com or call:(801)521-9642   For pricing, what's included, and to watch retreat video click here. D'ana's asana, pranayama, and meditation sequence will take you through the chakra system to re-balance and re-fire all the energy centers of the body. This works wonders on unlocking your individual true power; that part of yourself meant to shine into the world. Unlock this energy and you'll find you ARE able to do more, be more, and actually live from a place of individual integrity. If you feel like you've been "stuck" for a while, or have an inkling that you are "distracting" yourself but don't quite know how to "find your path," or have noticed self-defeating behaviour in your everyday life, this is the reatreat for you. D'ana has a real gift for introducing your strength, your beauty, your essence to you in a way that is easily experienced, embraced and embodied.    For Easy Online Sign up visit shop.inbodylife.com     "The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches, but to reveal to him his own." -Benjamin Disraeli

 

Big Things in October!

Yes, we have had to change our schedule before November 1, and I personally do apologize. There have been so many shifts and changes that I feel the need to address them with you all.  We have had to say goodbye to several teachers in the past three months: Lara Lockwood (moved), Jim Pehkonen (shifting career interests), Elisabeth Lilja (moved), and now Scott Moore, who is moving on as well.  The studio misses their unique presence, and at the same time we are happy for their new pursuits and opportunities. Please join the staff here at CCY in wishing all of them well in their fufutre endeavors.  We have added new, excited, talented staff and they are giving the studio a big shot in the arm! Stephanie Widmer is BACK from Philly and teaching prenatal again, Sarah Capsolas is also back from  having her baby (congratulations Sarah)! We shifted the schedule to include James Hardy, a musician and all around cool dude, to offer Power 1 at 4:15 pm on Tuesday and Thursday; Abbey Daw is moving here from Sandy where she has been teaching PACKED yoga classes; and talented Lauren Beard, a dancer, joins us from last year's teacher traning. An energized crew for sure.  SO there you go. Please expand your yoga repertoire and try some new classes, attend different teachers, and support our new staff! Also in October we will celebrate completing our 7th year in business with a special focus on back to basics! Buy a "back to basics" card (10 classes for $55 this month, and use it to attend all of our basic classes (core basics, fundamentals, pranayama, and express classes). We will also offer workshops every weekend, focusing on different aspects of the practice. You may attend those for October with your back to basics card as well!! A GREAT deal! Look for more info online and via newsletter.  Thank you again for your continued support. Much love from all of us at CCY! -D'ana Back to Basics October Special Deal! We are bringing back the "back to basics" card to make attending our fundamentals classes even more affordable. Fundamentals are not just for new students; sometimes these classes are even better after attending yoga for a while. Back to Basics cards are $55 for ten classes, and this class card can be used to attend: Express, Pranayama, Meditation, Fundamentals, and Core Basics. You may also use this card to attend ANY of the back to basics workshops we are offering in October. (keep reading!) Starting October 9th, every weekend (both Saturday and Sunday) we will offer "back to basics" workshops. These 2 hour workshops will NOT cost extra (and in fact you will be able to use your back to basics card!) so please just attend it as a regular class.

Aaron is a prime example of how powerful  the practice of yoga is and of it's ability to  turn people's lives around.  Aaron is certified under D'ana  Baptiste  and has studied under many master ashtanga, anusara and vinyassa teachers. His main goal  is to bring strength to a more satvic and serene practice.  Aaron seeks to gain yoga knowledge werever he can find it. He also employs his many years of resistance training to enrich his practice and classes.
