The rest of our schedule can be found here.SUMMER SCHEDULE COMING! - Starting June 1, we've added to our regular schedule again (slightly), so stay tuned to the website to find out what's on tap. By popular request, we added earlier Sunday classes (anusara inspired and gentle yoga) and made the Saturday class a little earlier. Keep your eyes peeled to the website to find out more.
LOGO DECALS / STICKERS! We got these super cool static logo decals in that can stick just about anywhere that we're giving away. We've also got some very funny bumper stickers in that we're giving away as well. Our gift to you.... :) Come on in and check em out.
YOGA AT BLITHEWOLD! - We're thrilled to announce that Christine will be offering outdoor Yoga at Blithewold for six weeks this summer - Thursdays, 8-9 am, June 19, 26 & July 10, 17, 24, 31. We invite you to enjoy the benefits of yoga while soaking in the sights, smells, and sounds of the beautiful early morning landscape. Classes will be held in Blithewold's lovely North Garden overlooking the Great Lawn and Narragansett Bay. Each session will teach yoga postures, alignment, breath-work and build core strength. Finish the class feeling your best and enjoy a light snack and a refreshing walk through the gardens. Register for these classes directly with Blithwold by clicking here.
YOGA AT FARMERS MARKET! - Christine loves being outdoors, so she's added a yoga class at the Farmer's Market at Colt State Park on Friday afternoons at 4:30. Bring a cooler to help support local growers. Christine is offering the class as a seva to the community and is accepting donations to support Bristol's Good Neighbors Soup Kitchen.
WANNA BUY/BORROW STUFF? – If it's been a while since you've been at the studio, you might be surprised to learn how much more we offer. We've significantly expanded our lending library in the foyer of the studio. (See something you want to read / borrow? Go ahead and take it, sign it out in the little book on the shelf, and bring it back whenever you're done with it.) Also, in addition to our existing T-shirts, we're currently selling fantastic eye pillows (great for savasana or a quick at home nap), and we're planning to have a new T-shirt design ready very soon as well. So stop in if you get the itch for some 'stuff.'
PARKING - Thanks for heeding our request to utilize only the one space in the back lot. That space is directly behind our window on the building side of the lot. If you arrive to the studio and that space is full, please continue to park on the surrounding streets. We appreciate your help as we accommodate our neighbor's requests to not use their spaces for parking.
SPEAKING OF SPACE - We are so happy that so many of you like our space and find it a comfortable place to practice. We opened the studio with the intention of it being an offering to the community, and it has really developed that way. As you may know, we offer the space for rental for complementary uses. (For example, right now we've got a group of belly dance instructors who use the space on Thursday nights at 7:30PM.) If you or someone you know would be interested in using the space for a workshop or regular classes, please email us at bristolyogastudio@gmail.com ; we're happy to let the studio be used on a regular basis.
