OM
Hello Yogis.
I’m sorry to say that the Friday, Level II-III Iyengar Yoga Class on Fridays 10-12 noon is now permanently CANCELLED starting Sept. 14, 2012
This has been a long time coming, the “numbers” are down, people have moved away/ dropped out and honestly I’m burnt out.
By having my Friday mornings back I will gain a fantastic three hour self-practice session and a bit more needed sleep.
I thank all of you regular students for your enthusiasm and attendance over the years.
The Friday class was the first of the classes I ever taught in Woodstock.
It holds many fond memories for me here at my Home Studio and at Mtn. View Studio.
As the fall/ winter season progresses at Woodstock Yoga Center,
I might be able to offer a more advanced class there.
I hope also to offer monthly workshops, once my stamina improves.
Hold tight, and send me your preferred times, dates, suggestions for future classes/ workshops.
And no, I don’t know what I’m doing about India or Assessment at this time.
I will let you know as soon as I know.
At this point, I would suggest that you attend my Tuesday 6-7:30 p.m. class at Clear Yoga, Rhinebeck.
This is the next strongest level class that I teach. The size is small-ish (8 regular people usually attend), and we have ropes for all. The students there are strong and a great group. You will all fit in great.
Another option is the Level I-II Class at Woodstock Yoga on Wednesdays, 4:30-6:00 p.m.
This class is a bit lower level than Friday’s but I will be tough on you, if you attend, to keep you and your yoga sharp!
And, or, also, please use this new time to work on your self-practice!
At Level II-III we should be “working on” the Junior Intro I Syllabus.
Take a look at that list and work on stabilizing these asanas.
At this level in Iyengar Yoga, you should have a strong daily practice.
Contact me if you want assistance with what that should look, if you don’t know by now.
I can provide the Syllabus and a copy of The Preliminary Course Book ($20) for you if you don’t have it to work from.
Another option would be to take a monthly private session with me.
A number of my students do that right now, using a regular monthly private session to supplement their own home practice.
This gives you a chance to answer questions, and have me give direction on what to do next with your yoga.
Privates are $100/ hour or $450 for a series of 5 (when paid in advance and used within 6 months.)
I give privates on Monday afternoons, Tuesday & Wednesday mornings at my Home Studio.
For those of you who have a credit left on your Yoga Class Cards with me,
I offer you 2 options: either you can use them to classes with me at Woodstock Yoga only, (not Clear Yoga),
and get $5 back each time credit (because class time is less there and cheaper).
Or I can “cash you out” and give you a refund for any spots left on your card.
I will be contacting you directly with your balance.
I love you all and hope you understand.
Already I feel a big relief and space in my health and practice making this decision.
I will see you around soon…

love,
Barbara
