Hi all,

I am reporting on some changes to the Minneapolis Yoga classes (the St. Paul schedule remains stable, including a Beginning level class Thursday evenings). The CWC is moving locations and our last yoga class at Bloomington and Lake is Saturday September 3rd, 10:30-12 noon.

Minneapolis YOGA CLASSES WILL CONTINUE!!! A kind colleague has opened her Occupational Therapy studio to our yoga classes for September, and possibly beyond! There is one time change, an earlier time on Thursday mornings, 9:15-10:45. She has to accommodate a regular appointment at 11 a.m. Otherwise, the Monday and Saturday class times can stay as they are.

For September, the classes will be:

Thursday 9/8--9:15 a.m.-10:45 a.m.

Saturday 9/10--10:30-12 noon

Monday 9/12--5:30-7 p.m.

Thursday 9/15--9:15 a.m.-10:45 a.m.

Saturday 9/17--10:30-12 noon

Monday 9/19--5:30-7 p.m.

Thursday 9/22--9:15 a.m.-10:45 a.m.

Saturday 9/24--10:30-12 noon

Monday 9/26--5:30-7 p.m.

Thursday 9/29--9:15 a.m.-10:45 a.m.

No class Saturday October 1, Women's Grand Marais Retreat.

The place is Naomi Siegal's OT studio, called Success in Motion. It is in the Ivy Building in South Minneapolis, 2637 27th Avenue South, http://www.ivyartsbuilding.com/index.htm. It is large ivy-covered building, and this studio is towards the back, Suite 212 on the second floor. You will see other signs that say "YOGA" referring to a different studio (Suite 207). Your orientation should be to find Suite 212, Naomi Siegal, Success in Motion. Leave a few extra minutes to find your way around, and walk down the long maze-like hallways. Street parking is available for those who drive, and it is exactly along the Midtown Greenway for bikers and walkers! http://www.ivyartsbuilding.com/index.htm

We'll have some props, and the OT studio has some extra things we may be able to put to interesting use.

Thanks for your flexibility and I look forward to seeing you soon!

Extra note: if you will attend class on Saturday Sept 3rd and can help for 15 minutes or an hour or two to move props out of the CWC, that would be much appreciated!! We will pack and move after class ends at 12 noon.

Immediate Changes--CWC classes

Dear friends,

I have just been informed that the CWC will be unexpectedly moving within the week.

THE LAST YOGA CLASS AT THE CULTURAL WELLNESS CENTER at Bloomington & Lake WILL BE THIS SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2011.

The Wellness Center will be moving into a place without a space for yoga classes. I am currently looking into other options. My goal is to continue the classes (Monday evening, Thursday morning, and Saturday morning) as close to their current times as possible, and hopefully in a south Minneapolis location. I do not know how long it will take to re-start these classes.

I apologize about the sudden change, it was an act taken by the landlord of the building.

Classes will meet at the SPYC, and a new session starts on Tuesday September 13th and Thursday September 15th. Tuesday night has 2 classes: 5:30-7:15 is Intermediate/Advanced level for students with a minimum of 3 years of classes and current home practice; and 7:30-9 p.m. Continuing level for more general type of class for all students with at least 6 months of experience. Thursday is the Beginning level class, meeting 5:30-6:45 p.m. The session is 7 weeks/$95.

Other class options for you are at the BKS Iyengar Yoga Center, 2736 Lyndale Avenue South, with my teachers Kristin Chirhart and Lee Sverkerson (www.iyengaryogampls.com, 612-872-8708).

If you have any ideas about possible south Minneapolis space for classes, please let me know as soon as possible.

Thank you, Jeanne.
