Greetings!
It's August, and while many of us have been vacuuming the residual sand out of our cars, nursing our sunburns, and clipping and compiling our OfficeMax and Staples e-coupons, we're happy to report that summer is still kickin' at the Sphere. We're in the home stretch of the Happy Body Project summer challenge, and - though the Christmas display may already be up at Hallmark - there is still plenty of summer left to earn stickers and put yourself in the running for some sweet prizes. So leave the clean-up, the aloe masks and the back to school shopping lists for after your daily dose of group fitness classes. Because there's no better way to beat the heat and the August malaise than with planks, pigeons and push-ups at Sphericality. We'll see you all at the finish line. 

Happy reading! We'll see you on the mat.

Sphericality's Client of the Month: Diana Sefchik
My name is Diana. I began taking Barre classes at Sphericality in July 2011. I had seen it advertised in the Hunterdon County Democrat and in Kings on the shopping carts! I called Dorian and asked her about the program. I explained to her that I had broken my leg and ankle in January 2009 after a fall on the ice. I had been spending time taking care of my parents who were ill and I had little time to exercise. By July 2011, I was more than ready! Read more.

Sphericality's Teacher 
of the Month:
Rachael Furino
Rachael discovered her love for barre after a friend suggested she try a class. On a whim, Rachael decided to search for barre studios in the area, which is how she found Sphericality. The moment she arrived for her first class, she knew that the studio was a great fit. Having fifteen years of dance under her belt - mostly jazz and ballet - made her a natural fit for the method. "I fell in love with barre, and the structure and discipline of the exercises." Read more.

Studio News
Sphere Gear is (Finally) Here 
After an agonizing wait, we are pleased to announce that the new Sphericality tanks and tote bags have arrived. They're super cute and we hope you like them. Stop by the office to peruse and/or purchase the new merch.

New Website/New Blog
As you may have heard (or, perhaps, gleaned from all of the in-class and after-class photo and video shoots, recently) we're in the process of creating a brand new website. To supplement its virtual inception and increase our presence on the interwebs, we'll also be launching a nifty new blog. Best part? We're taking topic requests. What would you like to know more about? Send your burning fitness- and nutrition-related questions and topic requests to olivia@sphericality.com.

Sphericality at Lululemon
Sphericality is Lululemon's studio of the month for August. (That's the Lululemon in Bridgewater -
second level, next to the Apple store.) If you plan on going to the mall any Sunday's this month, be sure to swing by Lulu for complimentary yoga from 9:45 to 10:45. Classes will be taught by our fabulous yogis. Fun fact: the Lulu logo is a stylized "A" - a vestige from their original and perhaps too-on-the-nose name, Athletically Hip.
 
Studio Events
Girls' Night Out: Mandala Painting
Join your Sphericality friends on Friday August 28 from 6:30-8:00 in the main floor studio after Yoga Basics. We'll be creating "I am" statements and 
painting mandalas to display in the front windows. If you've already decorated your mandala, come craft with us anyway and paint another! Supplies and mandalas will be provided. 

Intro to Indoor SUP Yoga with Jenn Stas 
Curious about SUP yoga? On Wednesday September 2 from 7:15-8:15, Jenn will be leading an introductory SUP yoga class in the main floor studio. If you're interested in Indoor SUP yoga, or simply looking to further your yoga practice, this is the perfect opportunity to get your feet wet - so to speak. It's free for members! Sign up now.

I SWEAT GLITTER Yoga with Jenn Stas
Your next chance to sweat glitter is Wednesday evening, August 19, from 7:15-8:15. Prepare to sparkle and groove to some funky tunes in this freewheeling yoga flow class. Kooky and colorful clothing is more than welcome. To quote from the gospel of Hilary Duff: "Never dress in yellow, when you wanna dress in gold."

Next Up On the Happy Body Project Agenda: Nutrition Series 
with Shelby Zappia
We're excited to give you a little taste of our next challenge - pun intended. This time, we're incorporating a few nutrition-related challenges - drinking the proper amount of water, hitting every color of the rainbow with your fruit and veggie intake, and trying out new healthy recipes. More details to come!
