Magnificent March
Dear fellow yogis and yoginis,
We are very busy and excited about all the HAPPYnings in our world. We are working diligently on the preparations for our newest Joyful Yoga Studio, Boutique and Ayurvedic Spa in Bonita Springs. The opening will be sometime this summer. The studio itself will be large and open with a cork floor. The boutique will be three times the size of the current retail space with many wonderful new products and clothing. We will have an extensive book and music section and of course all the accoutrement to enhance your yoga and meditation practice. The spa will have four massage/treatment rooms and be set up to be “Dosha specific”, (even if you have no clue what your dosha is, we will, and by knowing this important information about your quantum-mechanical physicality, it will allow us to make your experience in the spa the best it can be.) We are excited in this expansion and hope to introduce many more to the Joys of Yoga!
We would like to thank all of you for your referrals of new students. We have found the best form of advertising is by those who have made the commitment to their health and well-being and experience Yoga first hand and pass the Joy along to loved ones. To express our appreciation for the referrals we receive from our Joyful students, we will give you a free class for every new student you introduce. If you have suggestions or comments that will help us serve you better please let us know. There is a suggestion box in the back of the studio. We are continuing to travel and experience other great teachers and the blending of the many styles of Yoga, both here in Florida and throughout the country to bring you the best yoga experience possible. It will soon be even easier to sign in and keep track of classes with our new bar code scanner with key chain cards, coming soon! As is everything, we are evolving nicely. We love what we do!
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Namaste

Workshops
Australian Didgeridoo Workshop
This Friday 3/16 7:30-10:00pm!Musician and Sound Therapist Phil Jones will present an interactive meditation and sound workshop using the ancient Aboriginal instrument. The didgeridoo is made from eucalyptus and is traditionally played in healing ceremonies by the indigenous people of Australia. The instrument creates a soothing resonant sound that has a therapeutic effect on the body, enhancing mental clarity and emotional equanimity. The primordial vibration and the breathing techniques help create a state of calm by lowering blood pressure, relaxing the heart, improving digestion and significantly reducing sleep apnea and snoring. No musical experience is necessary. All will be provided an authentic Australian didgeridoo to play during the workshop. Didgeridoos and CD’s will be available for purchase. Take your meditation to the next level with this amazing journey through spirit and sound. Space is limited.
