First Friday Art Open House
"Yoga & Spirit" Opening Reception at the Studio
Friday, June 4th
6:00-8:00pm

Jennifer Parson Photograph Lotus
Jennifer Parson's "Yoga & Spirit" exhibit opens at the studio this weekend.  Stop in and take a look at her breathtaking photographs. 

Jennifer said, "From what I am told yoga is not a familiar or common practice in Cambodia and I will be showing a series of photos focusing on some of the first Cambodian born yoga instructors who are leading the country and its children, into a new generation of peace, healing, and yoga.   These instructors are actually young girls in their teens and early twenties and there will be information for anyone interested on finding out how they can help or even write a letter to the girls if they are so inspired."

Check out Jennifer's website.

Friday, June 25th

Bill WylandBill will be teaching from 6:00-7:15pm.

We loved the suggestions that have been coming forward via the studio survey.  The idea of an end of the week class coupled with time to socialize and involve friends/family garnered a lot of interest and comments.
We decided, why not?  Hopefully, the weather will be lovely and we can sit out in the garden and share some beverages and light snacks.  It is a mainly BYO affair though we will have things to share.

Inhale/Exhale, Repeat
Community 'Breathe' Workshop
with Margaret Townsend
Saturday, June 26th (1:30-3:30pm)

community breathe
As Margaret describes: "Not only does breathwork free deep stress patterns in the body/mind, it is a doorway to being more conscious of every aspect of ourselves. I love working with the breath because it is not a mental process. It touches the place within us that is beyond our beliefs and who we think we are. Inner peace, spaciousness and deep stillness is available which for many is considered a spiritual experience."

Donation Based "Family Yoga" with Rosey
Benefit for August


Sunday, June 13th
12:15-1:00pm


August is 3 years old and has had a feeding tube since just after
birth. He needs to learn how to eat and the best place for that is over in Graz, Austria.

August's parent, Janet and Johnny, hope to raise $25,000 to send August to Austria this summer. They are almost @ 50% of their goal.

Every dollar contributed to the "August to Austria" fund will be matched by a generous donor and used to pay for innovative therapy that will teach August how to eat. Ultimately, the feeding tube will be removed at the end of the four-week session.


For more info about their situation and fund raising efforts check out:
