A New Location for a New Season

Hello Friends,

We're writing to inform you of a change. Please note that due to Irondale performances, we will be temporarily moving next door to the Lafayette Ave Presbyterian Church, which is located at 85 S Oxford St as well. And instead of Tuesday evenings, class will be held on Thursday evenings at the same time; 7:30 - 8:45pm.


Thank you for joining us in March for our focus on structures of the body and how they relate to poses.   This month, in the spirit of spring cleaning and change, we will integrate twists and other detoxifiying poses along with a study of the niyamas.  We hope the sun is now shining on you.

April Focus: Niyamas

According to the Yoga Sutras, compiled by the sage Patanjali, the niyamas are rules of personal behavior or practices of lifestyle and attitude.  They include these five elements:


1. Saucha - purity, cleanliness
2. Santosha - contentment

3. Tapah - heat, cook, effort, self-discipline

4. Svadhyaya - self-study

5. Isvarapranidhana - surrender, allowing

For the month of April, we will focus on each of these elements and how they relate to the practice. We want to make good space in ourselves to take in all that this season has to offer.

Spring is like a perhaps ...














Spring is like a perhaps
hand (which comes carefully
out of Nowhere)arranging
a window,into which people look(while
people stare
arranging and changing placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here)and

changing everything carefully

spring is like a perhaps
Hand in a window
(carefully to
and fro moving New and
Old things,while
people stare carefully
moving a perhaps
fraction of flower here placing
an inch of air there)and

without breaking anything.
