Yoga Shala September Newsletter
Friends:
I hope this newsletter finds you all well. I would like to take this time to update you all on a few changes at the Shala and to update all on some new things that we are adding to the schedule.

There will be new schedules available at the Shala, for the most updated schedules please check the web site http://www.yogashalaid.com/.
Shala instructors:
Over the last month a couple of your teachers have attended workshops to not only advance their own personnel practices but to also bring you our beloved students the latest and updated teaching methods to their classes. Sarah Durney, along with a few Shala students, and Jenny Lewis attended Ashtanga and Anusara workshops respectively. This shows their dedication not only to their individual practices but to the classes they teach here at the Shala. It is very obvious in their classes this past week that a lot of knowledge was learned and is now being shared. If you have not been to either a Sarah or Jenny class recently it would definitely be to your advantage to do so now!
The above goes to show that the Shala staff are not only your instructors but are also students who are also interested in expanding our own knowledge as we also follow are own individual yoga paths. Be on the look out for teacher blogs and pose of the month flyers coming soon!
