April Newsletter

Dear Friends and Students,

It is now officially spring, the time of the year for fresh ideas and exciting new projects... We at Encinitas Yoga decided that this is good time to begin some things new as well. We will be holding our first Encinitas Yoga Workshop Series event this month! "Exploring Forward and Backbends" - an in-depth continuation of the last few newsletters and some of the Encinitas Yoaga classes within the theme of back and forward bending in the last months. This workshop lead by Florence and Outi is open to all students. Prepare yourself with an open mind coated with enthusiasm and join us for this fun and educational workshop on Saturday, April 18th. (Details below).

Another inspiring event is offered at Encinitas Yoga starting 15th of April. Brinda Rao, a popular lecturer on Indian Gods and Goddesses, has accepted our invitation to talk with us at Encinitas Yoga about The Mahabarat, one of the greatest epics ever written - of which the Bhagavat Gita is a part. This event is open to all, on donation basis, to Encinitas Yoga students and non-students alike. We invite you to participate in this special opportunity. Brinda Rao was a speaker during the 10 day intensives at the former Yoga Room and is a long time devotee of SRF.

And last, but not least, our class changes for the month are as follows:

The Wednesday 4pm Heated class is discontinued. Instead we now offer a Monday 12:30pm-1:30pm Power Hour class. We hope you'll be able to add some spring to your Monday step by taking this class and boost your energy during the day! Yoga lunch break... Nourishment on all levels!

We hope you continue making yoga part of your daily/weekly health and overall wellness maintenance and improvement strategy. The Encinitas Yoga Yoganomic Stimulus Plan ($100 for one month of unlimited Yoga) is still in effect to make it just a little bit easier! We look forward to seeing you in class.

With Spring Greetings, Namaste,

Outi and Encinitas Yoga Staff

Yoga addresses the muscular imbalances caused by our modern sedentary lifestyle.

In this workshop we will explore how forward and back bending postures can help restore optimal movement of the spine and promote overall well being.
