What's Up in March at Taj Yoga

Dear Friends,

What a day, what a moon, what a party! Thank you all for coming to Taj Yoga's 6th birthday party on February 18. It appears we had cosmic help with sun flares and a full moon, and I am convinced the energy from those celestial events went directly into the party. EVERYONE was on fire.

Small Faces Director Johnny Otto signs the Taj five year lease.

But wait, there's more! Earlier that day, I signed a five-year lease with The Crown Hill Community Center. This building and the amazing people at Small Faces are the springboard for the Taj. Small Faces head haunchos Johnny Otto and Catherine Weatbrook (and Lynn Wirta before her) have made it possible for me to run a small, groovy yoga studio in a building surrounded by like-minded artists and professionals dedicated to quality movement education.

Finally, we are sad to see Melissa Samuels go after teaching Senior Yoga for four years. Mel is focusing on her studies and is passing the torch to Tara Bernstein. This class will now be gentle yoga on Wednesday mornings, open to all desiring a slower passed class.

Here's to the next five years!
