Dear Friend of Fusion,
 
HAPPY NEW YEAR!   We've got some important changes to the schedule that will take place starting Monday, January 11th.   Please be sure to view the updated schedule before coming to class. 
 
Ideally you're already using our new on-line system, but if not, there's many reasons to use this convenient service... you can purchase your class pass ahead of time, sign-in to class, double-check your attendance, view up-to-the-minute schedule and teacher changes, buy and print gift certificates, as well as purchase great yoga products directly from our on-line store - but also because  for a limited time, we're offering a 5% DISCOUNT on class passes to encourage you to use this great on-line service!  Additionally, it's helpful for our staff to know ahead of time which class is going to need the larger room.  (If you're unable or don't remember to check-in on-line, don't worry about it!  You can still come to class without registering... no worries.) 
 

Wishing you a healthy and prosperous 2010!

 
Namaste,
FUSION YOGA STUDIO
 
FREE Prenatal Movie Night @ Fusion
 

Friday, January 22nd

6:00 to 9:00 pm

 

Please join Rebekah Lake, RYT and Emily Bay Olavarri, LMT for a screening of the film *"Birth As We Know It".*

 

The movie features eleven natural births, including home birth, water birth, birth of twins, breech delivery and an astounding self-birth by Tanya Sargunas - a world renowned Spiritual Midwife and pioneer of Conscious Birth in Russia. The midwife community calls this film *"the most profound and comprehensive guide to conscious birth in the world"*, because it delivers a powerful transmission of what it really takes to give birth consciously and gracefully.

 

You will have a chance to connect with other expectant mothers, and even get a chair massage during the movie!  This is a must see for anyone expecting a baby. There will be a group discussion following the film. All are welcome (including children). Bring your partner!  We will begin the film promptly at 6:30.   To see a preview of the movie go to: www.birthasweknowit.com/trailer.html

Yoga Teacher Training 2010
with Lori Moore, E.R.Y.T., Director
Session Starts in March!
 
Fusion offers a 200+ hour training program for students who want to develop skills to teach others in classical Hatha Yoga.   This program is designed to deepen one's understanding and practice of yoga, and may also be taken by those who are not necessarily intending to become yoga instructors. Many students pursue teacher training not because they want to teach, but because they love yoga and want to learn more.  Teacher Training is a wonderful way to deepen your practice and take it to a new level.  This course will build on whatever form of yoga you have been training or practiced in.
 
If you've been thinking of doing this, NOW is the time to do it as Lori only offers this program ONCE a year and limits the amount of participants.  To be considered and to reserve your spot, we strongly suggest that you get an application form turned in ASAP.

Intro to Yoga (Yoga 101)
Starts:   Sunday,  February 7th  (11:00 am - 1:00 pm)
 
If you're new to yoga, it's the best place to start!  This two hour workshop is designed to safely and comfortably introduce new students to the physical practice of yoga.  Also for continuing students interested in reviewing the basics and reconnecting to the fundamentals of the practice.   Click here for more info or to register for INTRO 
 
Need Space...?  Use Ours!

Our studio is available for rent during non-class times for special events and can accommodate large groups.  We have THREE beautiful rooms of various sizes available for seminars, meetings, workshops, art shows, special trainings, talks, private parties, meditation classes, poetry readings, etc.   For rates and additional information, please contact [email protected].  If you need a place to host your classes (which are complimentary to yoga) on an on-going basis, please contact Lori at (916) 922-YOGA regarding availability.

 

We also have a small Healing Room which is available on a *per use* basis for professionals, which is perfect for massage therapists and other healing modalities.   (A massage table is available for use - you provide your own sheets.)  Rates are 30% of fees charged.

 

If you would like to "drop-in" and use one of our studios (including mat, props, and stereo system) for your personal yoga practice, rates are $5 per hour.  

 
Help Us Spread The Love!

Our beautiful new postcards have arrived and we could use your help in sharing them with others by passing them out to friends and/or to other businesses that would allow us to place them in their establishment.  If you can help us, please take a stack of postcards and help us spread the word!  (We'll gladly take back whatever you don't distribute!)

 
Marketing Fusion... Can You Help?

Now that we're open and the dust has started to settle, our next project is marketing Fusion.   As such, we're open to hearing your unique lost-cost marketing ideas and/or suggestions.  Do you have an idea or tips that you'd like to share that would help us promote our new beautiful space...?  (Is there something that you've done for your business that was successful that might also work for us?)  Do you have a contact or inside connection at a company or organization that would be interested in a wellness program for their employees and/or management?  Are you a business owner that might want to partner-up with us by offering our students discounts to your services and/or products, etc.

 

Of course, if you're a marketing professional and would like to trade for services, we'd love to hear from you!  Please email us at [email protected].

Actors & Actresses Needed!

We're going to have a short film made for marketing purposes and need some yoga student "extras" to participate in a class setting.  Don't worry... your practice and poses don't have to be perfect and you certainly don't have to be advanced!   (In fact, all abilities and body types are needed!)  Rather, we just need you to be okay with being filmed and/or photographed as you practice.  If you can be an "extra" for us, please mail  [email protected].   Actually, you'll be doing US a favor if you participate!  Thanks in advance ;o)

About Fusion....
Our needs can be different each time we step onto our mats.  At FUSION, we believe that it's important to consider how we're showing up on any given day and decide what's best for us.  
 
We recognize that some days our bodies crave a "work-out," making them stronger, more flexible, or to detoxify them in some way... and other times it's more appropriate and advanced to turn inward or "work-in," as it's our hearts and minds that need nurturing, restoring, expansiveness, space.  As we explore our interior landscape, our practice might reveal that sometimes doing less, is often times doing more.
 
We offer traditional Hatha yoga classes that are geared toward developing a deeper understanding of the postures along with techniques used to "focus" our minds while we practice our yoga.  These classes are labeled as "Focus" classes and provide specific alignment instructions and guidance as you learn how to stream-line and fine-tune your thoughts and concentration skills.  We also offer  "Flow" (or "Power Flow") classes where we transition with strength and grace from pose to pose, generating internal heat - although there are oftentimes elements of both Focus and Flow in most classes.   One of the tools FUSION uses to add a physical and mental edge to the practice, is heat.  Therefore, our class temperatures range from 74 to 84 degrees.  (If practicing in a warmed room isn't appropriate for your particular health condition, please contact [email protected] for guidance in selecting a class that would be best suited for your needs.)
 
As our practice begins to mature and ripen, we learn how to take our practice off our mat and into our daily lives... that the same coping skills and tools we learn on the mat when we're in a challenging or stressful position, can likewise be applied to our interactions with others as we ultimately work to develop a better understanding of ourselves.   Although one path might be considered "traditional" in nature, and the other a more contemporary approach (flow classes infused with heat), they both take us on the same journey and arrive at the same destination. Both ways of practicing can provide equal benefits, that is, to restore our body, mind, hearts, and spirit, while diving deep within.

Take a moment to pause...
Close your eyes... breathe deep and  l o n g....
Be still... be quiet.... 
Feel your hard edges....
Feel your tender places.
How do YOU feel today....?
May the path you choose lead you home....
