MARCH EDUCATION DIRECTOR LETTER
First of all, to those of you who took the first 8 Limbs 28 Day Commitment during the month of February, CONGRATULATIONS! It has been so lovely to see the wonderful community that has been established in the studios and on the 28-Day Facebook page. Building community is one of the core values of 8 Limbs. We want to bring people together to build a stronger sense of support within this vibrant and growing city. A special thanks to 8 Limbs Executive Director Ashley Dahl and Operations Manager Megan Costello for the amazing thought and work they put into this new program, not to mention everything else that they do running the business and the studios! Namaste to these powerful women.
And what a great preparation for March, the month that pushes us out of Winter into the smells, sounds (have you heard the birds lately?), and warmer air of Spring. Named for Mars, originally a fertility and agricultural deity, March ushers in new life, new shoots and buds, and, in our case, a new yoga studio.
No, we aren't opening #5, but we are moving our Capitol Hill studio down the hall. Construction on the new space starts in a few weeks and should take a few weeks more. March is the month to come and practice in the original Surya studio and get ready to say goodbye. We'll have news soon about our leaving and opening ceremonies when we get a firmer sense of the changeover date.
We'll continue to post Facebook updates and the have just starting posting information on the construction at www.8limbsyoga.com/blog/capitol-hill-construction. This post will be added to throughout the next month.
It's been an amazing 16 1/2 years in that room, but we look forward to many more in this same building.
