Change of room for Wed. and Sunday; please read

Hello everyone,   Since tomorrow and Sunday we meet for yoga in the evening and our yoga rooms get warm, we are going to practice in the Fellowship Hall.

Saturday, June 7,  we will meet at our usual place.   Th., June 5, we will meet at our usual place.

Wed., tomorrow, June 4; 6PM yoga will be at the Fellowship Hall.

Sun., June 8; 5PM yoga will be at the Fellowship Hall.

To get to the Fellowship Hall, please enter the property at the main entrance driveway, pass the playground on your left.   After you park the car, come back to the end of the playground and make a soft left turn and then again turn to the left to face a narrow red door.   That door will be unlocked.  

If you have mats in the yoga room, go upstairs as usual to get your mat and then come to the Fellowship Hall.  The floor in the Fellowship Hall is vinyl tile, so feel free to bring a second mat if you like.

I will keep my phone on until last minute; please call 770-656-4728 if you can't find the Fellowship Hall.


Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.  I know the church is working on having some kind of cooling system installed in our rooms.  I hope by next week, we will be able to stay in our rooms.

Peace,

Mariam

Namaste,

Tuesday, April 8@ 10:30AM at Briarcliff United Methodist Church (BUMC)

Reminder

I am adding a 10-15 minute meditation at the end of each of our yoga sessions during the second week of each month.  

Participants who prefer to leave at the end of the one hour practice, may leave as usual.  Participants who like to take 10 to 15 minutes to meditate at the end of yoga, remain and find a comfortable way to sit and practice meditation.

Instead of adding any charges to the additional time we will have, I ask you to support Centering Youth.   It offers yoga to troubled young people who are in jails or shelters. 

I will have a donation basket for you to leave whatever amount you like to donate to it.  I will make sure your donation will get to Centering Youth.

In April, this new addition will be on:

Sunday, April 6
Tuesday, April 8
Wednesday, April 9
Saturday, April 12

The Thursday yoga format already has meditation built into it.

Lunch Club

Our lunch date has been postponed to Thursday, April 10 at Chai Pani in Decatur after our yoga around 1PM.
