Thank you to my amazing staff who threw me a wonderful and very quietly kept surprise birthday party yesterday. There are not many times or circumstances that I have been brought to very few words, but this was one of them. Shocked and humbled, appreciative, and sincerely touched by their gifts and efforts, that I know I have surrounded myself with incredible energies and I am blessed. Thank you again – Namaste’ – Karen

Please excuse our construction in BBY2 as we expand again. We are enlarging our big yoga room in BBY2 to accomodate our growth and putting in the much awaited and very exciting Iyengar Rope Wall System. Construction begins Monday, July 14 and will take approximately three weeks to complete.

For your safety, a yogitoe is required for all of our hot yoga classes. These are on sale in our retail area.

HOT YOGA is HERE –

HOT YOGA TIPS & Important Information

• A Yogitoe towel must be used in all Hot Yoga Classes & can be purchased in our retail area – If you have a current class card in the studio or buying one, you may purchase a Yogitoe at a discount – 5% off Yogitoes with purchase of a 5 class card, 10% off Yogitoes if purchased with a 10 class card, 15% if purchased with a 15 class card (Only one discount valid per purchase, cannot apply other specials) Yogitoes towels are placed on top of a mat, rubber side down for sweat and slippage control. They come in various colors to choose from.
• Hydrate yourself all day long with extra water before you attend class, and after class and on into the next day to combat fatigue and dehydration / Just being a mere 3% dehydrated can make you feel as if you have the flu
• Bring a bottle of water or purchase one from our vending machine
• Eat a light snack 1 1/2 hours prior to class such as a protein or energy bar, or fruit and nuts
• Wear clothes that will dry quickly
• Bring a towel to wipe your sweat off with

PUBLIC MAT STORAGE IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If you leave your mats or use the mats in our PUBLIC MAT STORAGE AREA, please read our new changes. Beginning August 1, 2008 our Public Mat Storage will no longer be available. Due to our growing BBY community & the need to house our additional props, we will be using this area to accommodate these new purchases. Please claim your mats before August 1, 2008 and either, take your mats with you to and from class or, I encourage you to utilize our PRIVATE MAT STORAGE SERVICE for only $2.00 per month, which is located down the steps and through the retail area. This service is the most sanitary and safest way to stay healthy and avoid any germs from others. Privately stored mats are sanitized on the last weekend of each month, and no one else will use your mat. After August 1, any mats left unclaimed will be discarded, donated, or recycled if possible. Only 1st time, new students to the studio will be offered the use of a free mat upon first visit, for that class only. After August 1, mats will cost $1.00 to rent. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. Namaste’ Karen
