Spring Detox Workshop!

Join us for our first ever Spring Detox Workshop!

Clearing out toxins that build up in the body is very important for overall health. Long term exposure to toxins, through foods and drinks we consume, the products we use on our skin and in our hair, and the air we breath, causes buildups in the body which leads to less than optimum health in our digestive, circulatory, immune and muscular systems, as well in our hair, skin, teeth, eyes and nails. A periodic, healthy, natural detox is a great way to cleanse your system and revitalize your body, and spring is the perfect time to do that!

Combining a physical detox with mindfulness practices, like yoga and meditation, helps rejuvenate and bring balance to not just the body, but the mind and spirit as well. With that in mind, we are pleased to present our very first Detox Workshop!

On Sunday, May 4th, Mariah along with Certified Natural Chef and owner of The Organic Gypsy, Bridgett Blough, will lead a three hour workshop to not only start the detoxification process, but give you the tools to complete your detox on your own. Mariah will teach a cleansing and renewing yoga class and meditation to start the workshop, and we’ll go through a step-by-step plan to most effectively (and enjoyably!) detoxify your body. Bridgett will prepare a gourmet lunch, and also provide a very cool cooking demo for a delicious, detox-friendly dessert!

When: Sunday, May 4th from 12:00pm – 3:00pm

Cost: The cost for the workshop is $45 (only $40 if you also purchase a Stone Turtle Yoga monthly membership)

For an additional $99, Bridgett will hand-prepare enough delicious, detox-friendly meals for you to complete a 3 day detox! Detoxing is easy when it tastes this good.

Registration: Space is limited so please register by emailing mariah@stoneturtleyoga.com, or calling 989-302-7928. Please specify if you would like the $99 detox meal plan.

Looking forward to seeing you! Feel free to print the flyer below and spread the word!

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

Gentle Yoga on Tuesday 3/11 moved to Stone Turtle Day Lodge

Hello, friends!

Due to the annual township meeting at the Gerrish Fire Hall tomorrow (Tuesday, March 11th) evening, we will be having Gentle Yoga at the Stone Turtle Day Lodge. Class will start at the same time of 5:30pm (probably a few minutes later to allow for people who go to the Hall first). The Stone Turtle Day Lodge is located at Cross Country Ski Headquarters, 9435 N. Cut Road in Roscommon, only a mile north of the Gerrish Fire Hall on the same road. Please enter through the main doors of Cross Country Ski Headquarters, rather than the usual Stone Turtle Yoga entrance.

We will continue to have class at the Gerrish Fire Hall for the rest of March after this.

Thank you all for your flexibility (no pun intended) with the location change, and please spread the word to anyone you know who is planning to come!

Namaste,

Mariah, Lexi & Stu
