“One never rises so high as when one does not know where one is going.”

Dear Joyful Friends,
1) We so appreciate your nomination for Category # 67: Best Yoga Studio in the New Times Reader’s Poll for Best of Phoenix. Today is the last day to vote. Only one vote per person. http://polls.phoenixnewtimes.com/polls/phx/bestof/
2) Today’s winners of a pair of movie tickets are Melani L. and Kelly D. You both work hard to keep fit! We’re so proud of you! Enjoy your movie!
3) We’re going to be on live TV on Tues, Sept 15th. Look for Julia and some joyful children practicing yoga. Julia will be discussing the benefits of yoga for combating back-to-school stress on Channel 3, Good Morning Arizona in the 8am to 9am time frame. Julia teaches our Family Yoga class on Sundays for ages 5 and up. $10 for the whole family. Enjoy!
4) Do you have a homeschool child? We would like to offer a morning or early aft. yoga (and/or aerobics) class just for homeschoolers! Let us know if you are interested. $5 per child.
5) Interested in a Wednesday “early release day” children’s yoga class? Drop us a note.
6) Elementary school fieldtrips! Yes! Yoga class. $5 per student. Reserve your date as soon as possible. Notice the calming benefits right away!
7) Our delightful M, W, F “Muscle & Cardio” 11am class is no longer ages 50+. We have opened it to all ages who want to increase muscle strength, balance, and flexibility. It’s a total body workout for beginners. 45 minutes. $8 per class. 10 class pass for $75. Free with unlimited pass. Terrific pre-lunch class!
Health fact: 80 percent of people are more likely to stick with a workout if they have a friend or partner join them. Source: Women’s Health, October 2009.9) Wed, Sept. 16th is the first day of our “Walk & Talk” free class. Join us at Sunset Park (4700 W Ray Road, Chandler). North side of Ray. Just east of Rural. Park on Terrace. Excellent walking path. Bring a friend and/or make a new friend! Stay as long as you want. Strollers welcome. Gentle Yoga follows at 8:30am at the studio if you have time. Walking & yoga are a yummy combo.
10) October new classes to look forward to:
a) Relax & Renew yoga on Sunday mornings at 11:30am (Sat. morning class continues at the usual time.)
b) Yoga for cyclists, runners & hikers on Saturday!
11) It’s time to appreciate your beautifulbody and all it does for you! Why not commit to one class per week. If this feels good, add another. Start slowly and build. Stay with it and you’ll experience better sleep, a lower number on the scale, increased energy, a happier outlook, and so much more. Let us know how we can help.
12) Got an idea for a class? Need us to modify a class time? Let us know. We’ll consider every idea, suggestion, and comment.
