The Organic Gypsy is coming to town next week, and is bringing organic cucumber tomato gazpacho! It is vegan and gluten free, and made with fresh local ingredients.
The Organic Gypsy prepared the food for our Detox Workshop this past spring, and all attendees were blown away by the healthfulness and flavor of of her cooking. Like all of her food, this chilled soup is super high in nutrients, and is very delicious. The price is $13 per quart. Email mariahfrye@gmail.com if you want to order any!

“Touch the earth, love the earth, honor the earth, her plains, her valleys, her seas. Rest your soul in her solitary places.” – Henry Beston (artwork by Nick Wroblewski)
It has been so great to see everyone this summer; from locals who have been with us since the beginning of Stone Turtle Yoga, to seasonal folks who return each summer like old friends, to new students in both Higgins Lake and Grayling who are open and eager to learn, to everyone in between. We want to thank all of you for practicing with us, and for continuing to make our community so vibrant, diverse, and welcoming!
Due to the high attendance at the Higgins Lake studio this summer, we are adding another class to the Higgins Lake schedule. Starting this week, Hatha Yoga will be offered at 9:30am on Thursdays and will be taught by Lexi Bondar. Hope to see you there!
We have also been thrilled to see a number of high school and college students in class, and are excited to announce our Student Membership pricing. A monthly unlimited membership for high school and undergrad college students will now be $45 each month.
Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) Yoga was a big hit last Sunday with the new anchor system! Students enjoyed ample yoga and just the right amount of paddling. Join us this Sunday, July 20th at 10:00am for the next SUP Yoga class.
This coming Saturday’s (7/19) Empower Yoga class in Grayling is cancelled. There will still be Empower in Higgins Lake at 10:00am. Click here to find the current class schedule and register for classes online: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ASP/adm/home.asp?studioid=29064
Thanks everyone, and Namaste!

P.S. Don’t forget to check out the Stone Turtle Yoga logo apparel in the lobby! We have super comfy v-necks and tank tops, plus t-shirts for both men and women. They make for excellent souvenirs, gifts, beach cover-ups, and (of course) yoga shirts!

Nora Seilheimer
We are so pleased to welcome a guest teacher to the Higgins Lake studio this week! Nora Seilheimer, RYT-200 from Chicago with a big passion for teaching and an even bigger heart, will be teaching Slow Vin/Yin on Thursday, Hatha on Friday, and Empower on Saturday.
Nora earned her Yoga Teacher certification in 2014 from Yogaview in Chicago, and is fortunate to share her teaching practice with the Chicago yoga community, primarily her students at Collins Academy High School on the west side of Chicago, and when possible, the Northern Michigan community as well. Read all about her journey here, and be sure to stop in for a class while she’s in town!
SUP Yoga continues to be awesome! We had a record 19 people show up for class last week. Due to the limited quantity of rental boards available, you are encouraged to call ahead to reserve your board for the class, which starts at 10:00am every Sunday. Call B&B at 989-821-6549 to book your board. We will also have anchors to hold the boards in place this coming Sunday in case there is strong breeze.
There is another FREE Yoga Basics class this Sunday, July 13th at Higgins Lake. Come learn the fundamentals of yoga in a welcoming, beginner-friendly environment. This is the perfect change to bring someone you know to yoga! Free for first time STY students, and just $5 for existing students.
