Hats off to the future class of December 2012! We are receiving quite a few inquiries about our next 500-hour training program beginning February 2013.  The application and dates will be posted in June. Finally, we have extended the early-bird registration to July 1 for our Fall Yoga Retreat, October 3-7, 2012.  Sleeping Lady Resort is a dream spot in the fall, when the trees shift colors and there is a call from within to "move inside."  This retreat is five days (Wednesday - Sunday) giving us ample time to relax and find a pace conducive to a quality yoga practice and exploring the beautiful mountains and countryside.
