Spring is here! Transition and Upcoming Schedule

Happy April Fool’s Day! Hopefully everyone will be able to take part in some kind of hoaxy merriment today. I love this day because it’s such a great reminder to have a good sense of humor and not take oneself too seriously. For better or worse, I live in a household where everyday is April Fool’s Day. If you know my husband, Stu, you might also know that he is a big fan of harmless pranks (he recently bought not just one, but 3 piles of fake dog poop to add to his bag of tricks). His mind is constantly churning out ideas of how to get someone’s goat, and often times (unless of course I am the lucky recipient), I get to watch him put these ideas into action, trying my best to keep a straight face. Truth be told, Stu is very successful at catching people off-guard; however, despite the initial shock of these pranks, the “prankee” almost always ends up laughing and in a better, lighter-hearted mood. So do yourself and the people around you today a favor and find some way to celebrate April Fool’s! One of the bests gifts we can give is the ability to laugh, especially when it’s at oneself.

Now, onto business! We have two more weeks left of class at the Gerrish Township Fire Hall. The last class will be our usual Gentle Yoga class at 5:30pm on Tuesday, April 15th. Then we will take a 2 week break while Lexi and Mariah are in San Francisco for advanced yoga therapeutics and meditation teacher training. Then we will make the long-awaited transition to our summer location at the Stone Turtle Day Lodge at Cross Country Ski Headquarters, (about a mile up the road to the north)!

Class will begin at the Stone Turtle Day Lodge on Sunday, May 4th with a Detox Workshop, co-hosted by certified natural chef and owner of The Organic Gypsy, Bridgett Blough, and me. There will be yoga, delicious food, a cooking demo, and lots of great information on detoxifying the body and natural, holistic living! More details to come on that.

Monday, May 5th will be the start of the summer class schedule. We are still working on that schedule and will publish it as soon as it’s ready. As always, suggestions are encouraged and welcome!

Have a laughter-filled April Fool’s Day, yogis. Thank you for sharing your practice with your community. The more we immerse in the present moment, the more we enhance our lives and the lives of those around us. Never underestimate your power to brighten someone’s day!

Much love,

Mariah
