Dear ,

An opinion on Iyengar Yoga from the New York Times

"The Science of Yoga: The Risks and Rewards," by William J Broad

William J Broad's controversial new book has some harsh things to say about the risks behind some yoga practices. But, he is quick to clarify in a recent CBC radio interview that not all yoga is the same "The Iyengar people are especially well trained," Broad states. "They understand the potential for injury. And they work hard to try to eliminate it. They will use all kinds of props. . . they will have you go into these positions slowly. They get it, right."

Nancy appreciates two years with The Yoga Studio South

An unsolicited email from a grateful Nancy Ross. . . .

"I can't believe it has been two years since I first walked through the doors of The Yoga Studio at the JCC. What a wonderful experience it has been for me.

The teachers and staff at the studio are really special and I feel I have learned so much from all of them. The welcoming atmosphere and classes themselves are truly a blessing."

Yin Yoga with Music for the Soul

Join Deborah Olson and Eily Sweeney for this special afternoon class weaving Yoga and Music together. Yin Yoga is a quiet, meditative practice that focuses on lengthening the connective tissues in the body and helping balance the meridians or energy channels. The long holds promote and facilitate greater flexibility and a deeper self-awareness. Eily will contribute the soothing vibrations of Harp, Crystal Bowls, Ambient Instruments and her voice to this special Yin Class.
