Congratulations to the upcoming Yoga School Graduates of the Class of 2012, released into the wild on May 11th! Look for them this summer teaching your Donation classes and sharing what they love. What an awesome, loving, and wonderful crew they are. We are grateful!
This year we are offering up three classes on Memorial Day, Monday May 28th.
Get your yoga on:
8:30am with Audra
10am with Hari-bhakti
12 noon with Monicka
We are closed all afternoon and evening, so get into class early!
The Fiery Furnace: The Summer Asana Immersion May 29th—June 28th, 6:15-8am! Join resident anatomy geeks Lisa Mae and Monicka for a journey into the depths of some of the more sophisticated Level 2 poses, the ones that bridge the gap between Level 2 and Level 3. Open to teachers and teachers-to-be, as well as any other students that want to go deeply into asana in a laboratory-like environment. Expect much breakdown and bio-mechanical nerdiness, and a loving and supportive environment for all! Register in advance please... (psst... this is a 500 Hour Asana Module)
Dig this! Co-operative Yoga: A Different Approach To Partner Yoga with Monicka and Tasha on Saturday June 9th from 3-6pm. Are you interested in partner yoga, supporting and being supported in asana, and co-operative practice, but afraid of Acro Yoga or a strictly couples-focused practice? Fear not, this workshop is for you! Designed to be playful, light and open to ALL levels, we'll use the support of each other, extra eyes and our collective spirit to help with some of the various shapes of yoga, in order to help lift the weight of gravity. All are welcome to this non-threatening, totally fun workshop for two, three and even four person asana-mandala exploration. Bring your curiosity, open mind and heart and explore the possibilities of co-operative practice!
Gear up for the first-ever Beginner’s Retreat to Breitenbush this summer with Jeannie and Tasha! Sunday August 19-Tuesday August 21, Jeannie and Tasha bring you the gifts of Yoga Foundations 1 in the wilds of Breitenbush! Register early, as this is sure to be a sell-out, since no one has ever, in the history of the whole wide world, done a retreat solely for Level 1. Yeah! Call Breitenbush directly to register at (503) 854-3320
The only constant is change...after co-creating The Bhaktishop with me, and sharing her life and love of yoga with you all in a creative and passionate way, Uma has decided to leave us in pursuit of other teaching and community in Portland and beyond. You can still find her at umadeviyoga.com as of June 1st. I am grateful for her vision and her dedication to making this place the warm, happy yoga home that we have all come to love. Join me please is wishing her well in her new endeavors!
Also, after 4 years of teaching and dedicated service, we say goodbye to our beloved friend and teacher, Tally Thomas. She is getting married, moving to warmer climes, and making an exciting new journey out of this life, starting this summer. We are sad for us but delighted for her next steps! You will find her subbing still, all summer. Say goodbye while you can!
Thank you all for your continued commitment to depth, renewal, and transformation, both on the mat and off. It is all of you that make this place great, and make it such a daily pleasure to show up every day. We love you!
Super-Rainbow Season Love,
Lisa Mae and The Bhaktishop Hutch of Bunnies
