Full Moon Gong Immersion

September 28, 2011
Hey Yogis,

We've just scheduled a Gong Immersion (sometimes referred to as a gong bath) on the Full Moon in October!

The gong immersion is: Wednesday, October 12 7:30-8:30pm at the studio and it costs $20 per person.

You can sign up online before (ahimsaoakpark.com/events) or show up the day of. On that Wednesday, the 7:30pm class will be cancelled and replaced with the gong immersion. You will LOVE it. It is the most relaxing thing to do. Also, the Full Moon is a very cool time to do the gong immersion and when you show up, you'll find out why.

See you there!

Best Week EVER! And best JOB ever

June 3, 2011
Good Morning Yogis,

I finally have a few minutes to spare to write about the studio's first week. We opened Thursday and from Friday through Thursday (7 days) we've had yogis in 18 of the 22 classes offered. This is AMAZING! THANK YOU for your support and it has been so much fun meeting everyone and sharing yoga together.

On another note, I'm tired. I've taught a lot of classes this past week. But people ask me if I feel stressed, and I've never had such an unstressful week. I'm so relaxed, I ...

The Studio "before"

May 23, 2011
Check out the studio before we started. Previously, it was Bulldog Crossfit.

Our lease began May 1 and we actually signed the lease that morning at 9am. We weren't worried because we have the best landlord ever - Tai Chi instructor, Paul Channic, who is probably the kindest man in the world. Who has a landlord who is a Tai Chi Instructor? It's really nice.

While my Dad and I were at the Tai Chi Center a couple of doors down my mom was at the "studio." We were only gone for about 10 minutes and...
