Dear Valued Twirl Friend,
Drum roll, trumpet sound, and tada! Our new-look email is here, with some fun additions alongside our regular update on what's happening at Twirl. Look to the right and you'll see two colorful blocks which is where our new monthly features will appear. First up is called One Great New Thing. Every month, we'd like to share one new thing we've found that we think is pretty groovy. It might be a new product that gets the thumbs up, but could just as easily be websites we like, places we've heard about, even bargains to be had around town. And if you see something you just have to share, feel free to send in your own ideas to ideas@twirlhouse.com. Smile of the Month is just that - anything we think might bring a smile to your face. Why? Because research proves that a smile can actually increase happiness. Or as Thich Nhat Hanh puts it: "Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy." It also happens to be one of the best gifts you can give someone, and it costs nothing at all. We like that!
 
In addition to the monthly features, you will see that there is now a Forward Email button. We'd love to see more friends joining the Twirl Family and encourage you to spread the word!
Please say "I do!"
Whether you're a Taos parent, a family who found us on a visit to Taos, or a local business, there are lots of great reasons to be a friend of Twirl. We like to think we have our finger on the pulse regarding fun stuff for families to do in Taos. We hope you do too! And now there are all kinds of added benefits to being a member of the Twirl community!

Classes and Activities
We have a couple of changes to our monthly schedule. First up is a new yoga class at 4pm on Mondays for 3-8 year olds, taught by our very own Laura! Blending beginning poses and breathing from the Hatha and Kundalini traditions, this is a FUN way for kids to be introduced to yoga and how to strengthen their bodies, relax, and learn to focus. Laura was trained by Shakta Kaur Khalsa, who founded the Radiant Child Yoga program 10 years. One other change is to Amber's Friday ballet class which will now run from 11.15am - 12pm. Also, Family Music classes will resume in August.

Details of all activities and classes as follows:

MON 4pm - 4:45pm Radiant Child Yoga w/ Laura ages 3-8

Finally, the lovely Ms Amber is hosting another of her hugely popular summer camps. The Taos Youth Ballet Summer Dance Camp & Theater Camp is an exploration of dance and movement. It runs from July 27th through August 1st, 9:00am- 3:00pm and is for ages 5-11. Please contact Amber @770-0189 to register, but don't delay as there are limited places.
We're so happy to have you as part of the Twirl Family and welcome any suggestions you might have for improvements either to the store, the playspace or this newsletter. 
 
Warm regards,
 

The Twirl Team

Our very first GNT doesn't strictly qualify as a new thing, as it's been around for some time. Whether you're familiar with it or not, it happens to be one of my favorite things, and since it is constantly changing, I thought it would be fun to point out some of etsy.com's more marvelous and overlooked aspects for our first feature. See what you think! ...>>

Doesn't it feel good to smile? That's because it is good for you! Read what some of the experts have to say about it, then allow yourself an upturning of the lips as you view this classic video clip that defies anyone not to crack a smile....>>
