Life Balance Yoga

There is no Saturday July 27th morning yoga class due to the parade and crowds ect. of Dallas Days.

Thursday July 4th no studio classes, I will be out of town. Saturday the 6th class is as scheduled. Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July!

Tuesday evening yoga from 5:30-7 will be put on hold until September due to low regular attendance. Fall is always such a nice time to come back to yoga after summer activities, I hope you will join me then!

Tuesday 1/16 all yoga classes canceled due to slippery conditions.

1/13/24; this 9am All level Yoga class is canceled due to icy road conditions. Stay safe and warm out there friends!

The cereal drive is over and all I can say is, WOW!! 174 boxes of cereal was the grand total! That is incredible! I want to give a heart felt thank you to every single kind soul that helped with this charity drive!

There's still time! Lots of room to spread out and do some stretching and strengthening in the name of charity!!!

Wednesday Community Donation Yoga Class is right around the corner! It's being held at the Morrison Campus Gym at 1251 Main St. 12/6 @ 6PM. Park behind the school in the big parking lot and the door to the gym will be open. I put a picture to reference. I hope to see you all there!

Tonight Laurie will be starting a short series on some more advanced Yoga Postures such as Adho Mukha Vrksasana (Handstand) and Sirsasana (Headstand) among a few other postures. You do not have to be able to do these postures as there will be assistance from props and Teacher support as well. Just a desire to learn! Laurie does ask that students with injuries past or present, please reach out to her for recommendations. If you have been wanting just a little more challenge from your Yoga practice, or some guidance on making the leap upside down then this is a FANTASTIC opportunity! Class starts tonight at 5:45-6:45 and costs $35 for all three classes or if you just want to peak its $15 for a drop-in class. call/text Laurie at 808-772-2165

This year Life Balance Yoga is partnering with Dallas Christmas Cheer for our season of giving. We thought we would have a greater impact if we chose to focus on a specific need, and this year we chose to do a Cereal Drive! Our goal is 200 boxes of cereal! I know that's a lofty goal but I'm sure this grateful community will rise to the challenge! Anytime from now until the 17th of December you can bring in new unopened boxes of breakfast cereal to the studio. We are also accepting cash donations which we will use to purchase cereal at the end of the drive. You can stop by the studio during business hours and leave your donation or if no one is at the studio and its a reasonable time until the next class you may leave the cereal in a bag at the door. Please check the studio class schedule in the window, I just don't want cereal outside over the weekend or for hours. As an added bonus Amy's classes will all count towards a cash donation so come attend as many Yoga classes as you can!

Important upcoming class closures:
July 27th-29th all classes closed due to the conflicts of Krazy dayz and the parade.
August 11th-23rd all classes closed due to summer vacation.
There's a lot of yoga going on in the area as well as the studio with other instructors so use this opportunity to try some new classes!
* These class closures effect classes lead by Amy and may not effect Michael's classes or the upcoming Soft Yin classes with Sabrina.

If you are one of many humans going to make some positive changes for your health this year Yoga might be right for you!
• would you like to learn to relax more ofton?
• would you like to add some beneficial stretching into your more aerobic exercise program?
• would you like to learn about how your own body can move better, with improved alignment?
• are you needing a less strenuous first step into exercise?
• would you like to just slow down the pace of your life and feel ALIVE!?!

Sometimes we go so hard at better health and we change so many things all at once that we get overwhelmed and end up being unable to commit for long enough to see change. Try taking a softer approach. Try a new habit that feels good instead of punishment. Try Yoga!
