JUNE SPECIAL
AcroYoga Starts Tuesday June 7th
Tuesdays 5:30 to 6:45 PM
with Amy Impelizzeri
(This class replaces the Tuesday evening Flow class for the month of June only)
No experience or partner needed!
No acrobatics involved!
AcroYoga blends the spiritual wisdom of yoga, the loving kindness of Thai massage, and the dynamic power of Acrobatics. These three ancient lineages form this practice that cultivates trust, connection and playfulness. Our highest aim is to bring individuals into a state of union with themselves, with each other, and with the divine. From this place of mutual support the true self can be realized, celebrated and shared for the benefit of all. |

Robbin Llamas
Robbin Llamas in addition to being a wife and mother of two teenage girls, works for Jan Marini Skin Research in the order administration area of inside sales.
She loves anything creative or artistic when she has the time. She really loves skiing with her family and vacationing in Tahoe. Robbin is an avid reader of nearly anything and a big fan of Dean Koontz novels and old movies.
Her favorite yoga position is the deer pose. It helps her relax and find flexibility in her hip area which is great after sitting in a cubicle for 8 hours!
Her favorite restaurants are in San Francisco, especially Kuleto's in the Hotel Villa Florence lobby on Powell Street. It is beautiful, old and elegant and they have the best calamari in the world. Another is The Rotunda in Neiman Marcus on Union Square -unbelievable atmosphere, lobster bisque and popovers to die for. |
