Happy Holidays!

"I believe there no destinations in life only journeys and I can't thank each one of you enough for being a part of ours. December 10th will mark our 8 year anniversary. What started as a brother and sister trying to change the world one breath at a time on credit cards and a prayer has evolved to a system that has trained over 100 instructors and has served  up over 15,000 classes to 100,000 people. My Yoga for Life TV show, DVDs and downloads have gone out to millions of people around the globe.
However, it all comes back to you, myself and my instructors couldn't do what we love to do without you. So for them and from myself much thanks and much love! I promise we will coninue to offer you our best! ." ~Kurt Johnsen
Silent Sitting Meditation Class
"He who studies others is wise but he studies himself is enlightened."quote from the book The Monk Who Sold is Ferrari
Meditation is the original form of yoga.  It's tough, but extremely beneficial. Learning to simply sit still can open many doors to self discovery.  You will decrease stress, be more focused, calm, and  connected, and improve self confidence.           

APY's first meditation class starts this Sunday December 6 from 11:15-11:45 a.m. with Jayme.  We recommend to take the 10 am class before hand to slightly exhaust the body which will make quieting your mind much easier.
