Those of us who have lived in Seattle for a while know that July in Seattle is the best month of the year. The long days, the fairly regular show of sun. There is so much to do with water and mountains surrounding us. We hope you'll all come to the outdoor class at Richmond Beach on July 18th to do Yoga with us in these glorious Northwest surroundings.

 

We thank all of our veteran students for being such a welcoming presence for all of the new students who found The SweatBox through Living Social in June. And, to all of you newbies, stay the course, as challenging as it is sometimes. As you'll read in long-time student Flavia's testimonial below, the journey has just begun. We are all lifetime students of Yoga and the ride is complex, dynamic and sometimes hard. But the payoff is life-changing and so we keep practicing and practicing and practicing.

 

June was an amazing month for lots of reasons. Here are a few: We raised $300 to support the Homeless Animal Fund at The Rainier Veterinary Hospital, $250 for the Guatemala Project, a SweatBox project that helps sends kids in Antigua, Guatemala to school, and we donated a series of packages to Food Lifeline to support their auction. Also, in June, we had a LOT of young people practicing with their parents. Some teenagers came under duress. Others seemed willing. They all kicked butt! As parents, we want what is best for our children and, as children, we want to see our parents healthy and happy. Seeing all of the parent-child combos in June was inspiring for all of us. Young and old and in between, keep practicing your Yoga so you can keep up that feeling of being happy and healthy.

 

Namaste,
