Beginning the week of April 30th, we will consolidate our schedule over the summer to 3 days a week. Julia will be teaching these classes on T/TH at 7:00 and on Saturday mornings at 8:00 am. Happy practicing! (p.s. the beautiful shot below is of Antoinette, a daughter of my friend, Francine, another wonderful yoga teacher.)
What could be a nicer gift than to treat yourself to an evening of yoga? Julia will lead us in a heart-centered practice for Valentines on Tuesday night, February 14th. Share the Love!
We want to welcome Julia as our newest member of the Yoga Space family. We are impressed with her and excited to have you meet her as an instructor beginning this January 10th
.
Julia joins us this year and is an ashtanga practitioner. Julia has been teaching, learning, and loving the art of Yoga for over 10 years! She earned her certification locally at It’s Yoga (now 3B Yoga) and is receiving her 200 hour certification with Yoga Alliance. She has taught private clients, community and high school classes, as well as local city recreational classes. She invites you to come out to her new classes at 7:30 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as Saturday mornings at 8:00 am at The Yoga Space. The class will focus on holistic rejuvenation and power through yoga postures (asanas), breathing and movement (vinyasas), and mediation (dhyana). You will love it, get stronger, and find yourself more flexible with a deeper knowledge of outer and inner body alignment.
A reminder that we will not have regular yoga classes during the next few weeks. Join us in January and check out our schedule at the right for times and teachers! May your holidays be blessed with peace, abundance, and the spirit of giving. We will begin yoga on Monday, January 9th.
Loved this article, first posted by my friend, Candy Eash. Bernice Bates is my new yogini example. Despite occasional injurieis, we can all stay healthy and fit throughout the years as we eat well, exercise, and follow the rules of moderation.
| One of my favorite yoga teachers, Adam Ballanger wrote in his Blog: “As we move into the shorter, colder days don’t forget the simple things like staying hydrated, taking time to center and stay on top of our responsibilities. As much as a long day in front of the fireplace might sound great or staying in bed till noon seems like a good idea, hibernating from our basic day to day duties can add up. This goes the same for our Asana practice, make sure you at least get your basics in or before you know it you can feel like it’s been months since the last time you practiced. Don’t forget your well cooked root veggies and try a cooler shower to wake up so you don’t have to drink as much [caffeine].”
Let’s remember these simple suggestions as the clock “falls back” this weekend. Shanti! Sirpa  It's Never Too Early to Start Yoga |
Dr. Shoshana Ringel is back in Utah. After cleaning up in her New York home which was flooded by the floodwaters of the recent hurricane, Shoshana is again here in Utah. If you haven’t had a chance to experience her work, I will say that it is amazing.
Here is a note from her:
Hi to all of you, my dear patients. Just a little note to say that I’ll be working in Utah from Monday, September 26 to Friday, October 14, 2011. For appointments you can call me at my Sedona phone: (928)284-2277. Because I can see only 4 people a day, I encourage you to make the appointments as soon as possible, especially for children already in treatment.
I’m look forward to seeing you all. Love and many blessings,
Dr. Shoshana Ringel

Fall yoga will help get you relaxed and flexible. Our schedule will begin September 1:
With the coming of August, the last few months of the summer seem to fly by as thoughts turn toward the more scheduled life that fall often brings. With that in mind, it is a perfect time to look toward increasing our ability to find a peaceful and centered practice. To help you in this, look to our fall yoga class schedule or explore your edges with meditation. Our meditation teacher, Thomi, has guided many into a more centered and sane way to approach their lives through mindfulness meditation. For information, check out our class schedule tabs. Here is a wonderful article about changes that can take place in the brain within the 8 week meditation course. If the link doesn’t work, here it is to copy: http://world.edu/content/mindfulness-meditation-training-brain-structure-8-weeks/ 
The Thursday night group watching the BYU-Florida game . . . We really needed the practice to feel centered afterwards. Thanks, Heather!
“Basketball is an endurance sport, and you have to learn to control your breath; that’s the essence of yoga, too. So, I consciously began using yoga techniques in my practice and playing. I think yoga helped reduce the number and severity of injuries I suffered. As preventative medicine, it’s unequaled.” ~Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
