Halloween Hip Opening Workshop

Filed under: Classes, Schedule, Woodstock Events, Yoga — bb @ 10:32 pm

It’s that time again, for the Fifth Annual:

Halloween Hip Opening Workshop
~ ~ ~ Three hours ~ ~ ~
Friday, October 31st, 11 am – 2 pm
Mountain View Studio, Woodstock

Costumes or Masks are optional.
But there will be a PRIZE for best costume.

3 Hours? Really? Can I do it? Will I be able to walk afterwards? Will she have the heels and whips out? (*** oooooh, scary!!****) Of COURSE you can do it! With a long warm up, fantastic Iyengar sequencing and alignment, the three hours will fly by. All levels and styles of yogis and goblins are welcome: practicing Iyengar students or not. My only request is that you do NOT have a serious knee or hip injury/problem. In this class we will do Surya Namaskar, Standing Poses and seated asanas on the floor. Students who take Sunday or Satya Tuesday General Level Class or Wednesday Level I-II Class will be do fine. Students in Monday’s Level I Basics Class, please ask me first before coming.

his is a perfect chance to warm up for some serious ‘Trick or Treating’ or dancing Friday night. Those yogis from not from Woodstock, know that the big town parade scene starts at 4 with the kiddies: the main streets are blocked off and partying goes on all over town for the adults through-out the evening.

PRICING (not too scary but somewhat complicated)

Cost of workshop: $40 without costume, $35 with costume.

For those with class cards, here’s the math:

2 hour class card = 2 spots (2 x $18 = $36) ($1 back if in costume)
1 1/2 hour class cards = 2 spots (2 x $14 + $10 cash = $36) (+ $9 if in costume)

No need to sign up in advance, Mountain View Studio can hold LOTS of spooky people.
Please arrive by 10:45 so we can start on time.

Come and have a great scary time!

NOTE: This Workshop wil take the place of the regular Friday Morning Level II-III Class.
