Welcome to the new Yoga East blog. I’m hoping this blog can be a source of information for you. The goal and purpose of this blog is to provide a wealth of information for you including help with asanas, a guide to strengthen and deepen your meditation practice, thoughts on life and our (the teachers) experience through our own practice, etc.

As you all know, our little studio is going through a transition. It all began with our beloved teacher, Karen Noonan, and her studio, Yoganize. Her studio was so much more than just a place to take yoga. It was a community! She knew all of our names, our injuries and many of our issues that extended beyond our bodies. For me personally (Wendi), I learned so much about myself through Karen’s teacher training. I think the most important thing I gained through that training was a trust in myself and the knowledge that I am a beautiful human just as is everyone else. We’re all God’s children, perfect in our own ways! What a beautiful lesson to learn. So when Karen announced that she was moving to Germany, I’m sure that all of us were at a loss. What would happen with the studio? What would happen to our community? Who would be our teacher?

So here we are. Our beautiful Kathy has taken on our studio and entrusted this space to Kelly and the teachers. We’re at a crossroads now and we need your help. We want to grow and while we can’t, and don’t want to replicate what Karen had (we just can’t do exactly what Karen did), we want to be that community for you. We want to be that community for ourselves. And at this point, we’re not sure how to move forward. So we’re leaning on you. We need your support, we need your feedback. Here are some ways you can help:

1) Tell us what you need. We love feedback. You can email us at yogaeastus@gmail.com and just say, hey I need this or that and we’ll do our best to provide

2) We need you to come to class!!! If there’s not one you like, see number 1!!

3) We need you to talk about us. If you love Rose’s class, tell everyone you know that you love Rose’s class! Share any neat articles or statuses you see on facebook. Share this blog! Do whatever you can to help us grow.

Thanks so much for continuing on with us. We look forward to growing together.

Namaste
