Yoga Is For Everybody

2-13-2011

To All of My Students,

As many of you already know, my family and I are in the process of selling our home and moving to Ithaca, NY.  Although I had initially thought I would keep teaching classes until our house was sold, the stresses of having a house on the market and the needs of my family have caused me to change my plan. 

Although I will no longer be teaching classes in the area, I encourage you all to continue with your practice.  You all have the foundation for a safe home practice and there are many wonderful teachers out there for those who prefer a class setting.

In your journey, remember to listen to your body as you explore other yoga classes and teachers.  Challenge yourself but remember if you feel pain don't hold the asana (pose). 

Also bear in mind there are many different styles of yoga.  Keep trying different styles until you find the one you like best.  My training is in Integral Yoga.  If you ever have the opportunity to visit the Integral Yoga Institute in NYC and take a class, I highly recommend it.

Thank you to everyone who attended my classes.  There will always be a special place in my heart for the people who followed me from Exercise Express to the YMCA and finally to the JCCDC.  I'm also grateful to all the people who saw a sign on the wall at the JCCDC and took a chance on a new class with a teacher they had never heard of.  Finally, to the people who came again and again, in many cases bringing along friends and coworkers, thank you!  You all helped me realize a dream. Together we created an environment that was safe, respectful and peaceful. 

In the two years that I ran these classes, I never had anyone bounce a check or try to get by without paying.  Your honesty and integrity allowed me to keep my prices low and accessible to many.  Perhaps I am most grateful for this.

I wish you all much peace and happiness.  If you'd like to keep in touch my email is katie@yogaisforeverybody.com.

Om Shanthi,
