We love Bernie. Just watched an hour with him on VPT. Saw him brave the cold in Saturday's Mardi Gras parade downtown. Don't know about the great work Vermont's Independent Congressman has done? Visit his website bernie.house.gov. And please, support his candidacy for US Senate in 2006.

Around the studio...

Saturday's I'll Yoga For You Class was, once again, a tremendous success. We raised $460 for Sudanese Refugee Simon Ateny, to help him reunite his family. Thanks to everyone who turned out and was a part of it. We're really encouraged by everyone's enthusiastic response to the program. Thank you thank you. Tonight begins our first Yoga and Kung Fu Session with instructor Stacy Jolles who many of you know as a regular in the Ashtanga classes. Tomorrow, Scott kicks off another Intro to Ashtanga Yoga Six Week Session at 7:30pm upstairs in Studio C.

I'll Yoga for You this Saturday

Just a reminder, this Saturday Kathy will be teaching the noon benefit class to help raise funds for Sudanese Refugee Simon Ateny.

Lost?

Mittens, hats, socks, jackets, shoes, nalgene bottles, yoga clothes... you name it, it's been left behind at the studio. Every few months we have have to clear it all out. Today we sorted the lost and found into boxes in hopes of reuniting you and your favorite togs. After a week, it's finders keepers and off to salvation army.

The wait is over...

After sorting through an unbeliveable expanse of photos and numerous rewrites and revisions, we are proud to announce the arrival of our beautiful new Class, Workshop, and Instructor Course brochures. 2006 is laid out before us. We're thankful for everyone who graces the studio, day in, day out, and make it the beautiful place that it is.

March 3 - Ghandharva performance

The Sunday Night Kirtan Group will be hosting a special live performance with Ghandharva at Yoga Vermont on Friday evening, March 3. Lori Flammer who teaches the Universal Hatha Yoga Class Thursday nights at 6pm is coordinating the event, so please check with her for details. Ghandharva performs inspired instrumental pieces of music using an eclectic blend of international percussion instruments including the tabla, madol, balafon, doun doun, conga, djembe, berimbau, shekere, singing bowls and bells. They infuse the traditional music and rhythms of West Africa, East India, Brazil, and Cuba with the dynamics and attitude of Rock & Roll to create a refreshingly unique hybrid, meditative percussive sound.

Give love.
