Happy Thursday, yogis!
As most of you know, this is our last week practicing in the Stone Turtle Day Lodge at Cross Country Ski Headquarters. We have to start getting that space ready for ski season, if you can believe it! It’s a bittersweet ordeal leaving the lovely lodge setting, but the great news is that classes will continue throughout fall and winter.
We’re moving STY to Gerrish Township Hall. It’s less than a mile down the street (south), so the move won’t hinder anyone’s “commute” to and from yoga. Gerrish Township Hall is located at 2997 East Higgins Lake Drive. It’s a nice, open room with lots of open wall space, which will be nice. We’ll continue to offer free use of our mats, blocks, straps and blankets.
Now, for the schedule! We’ll still have tomorrow’s Yoga Hike and Saturday’s Empower 90 minutes (at 8:00am!) this week at the Stone Turtle Day Lodge; the new schedule and location kick in next week. Click here or copy/paste this link to see the schedule for fall: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ASP/home.asp?studioid=29064 (make sure to click over to next week). I gathered as much feedback as a I could to make an accommodating schedule, but please let me know if none of these options look like they’ll work for you. A couple notes:
1. The Core and Empower classes will switch spots every other week. For example, next week there is a Core Yoga class at 6am on Tuesday, and an Empower class on Thursday at 6pm. The week following week, those two classes will switch spots; Empower on Tuesday at 6am, Core on Thursday at 6pm. And so on, and so on. I will try to get my scheduling software to automatically swap these classes, but in case that function isn’t available, just be aware that this is the plan! I’ll post regularly on the blog and facebook to keep everyone up to date as well.
2. Starting next week, Yoga Hike will go for 1 hour and will be entirely outside. We’ll meet in the Cross Country Ski Headquarters parking lot.
3. Due to the schedule cutting back a little as my cross country ski life picks up speed, we’ve reduced the monthly unlimited membership price from $70 down to $60.
4. We’ll still be selling yoga mats and clothing, but I won’t be bringing them to every class at Gerrish :(. Just let me know if there’s any clothing you want, or visit Cross Country Ski Headquarters to shop for it there!
Thanks to all of you for your continued dedication to your yoga practice as we make this transition. Let me know if you have any questions! Hope to see you soon.

Mariah, Just reading this makes me sad and miss the lake all over again! I didn’t get to say ” good-bye” but wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the yoga this summer! I hope to stay up to date with the classes so I can pop in whenever I am back and glad to know you will be having class throughout the winter! best of Luck to you and Stuart!

Thanks Lauren! It was a treat having you in class. Please do stay in touch. We look forward to seeing you again!
Unfortunately for me, the times you have scheduled for the classes I like won’t work. 6 a.m. is out of the question!!!! I might make a 6 pm class but even that is questionable. I have 2 classes left on my class pack and will try to use them before the pack expires. I believe it is good until December. I leave for Germany on Sept.12 for 6 weeks, I don’t know if I’ll make it back in before that. If not, I’ll try to come for just 2 classes after I get home.
I’m happy to hear you’ve found a good place to continue the classes. Have you considered hiring another teacher to have more classes and maybe some different ones? I’ve wondered if Libby McDonald would consider teaching a yin class or basic yoga. She’s been doing yoga forever. I’d consider it except we are goe so much I wouldn’t be able to be consistent with it.
I wish you well with all this. Have fun with it. Hope to see you soon.
Namaste,
Kathy
Did not check the schedule in time to get to class this a.m. but am excited there is a 6:00 a.m. option once a week. I will access this if not on the 4th then the week after. Have you had other interest? I will pass the word too.
P.S……just by way of offering input…..6:00 a.m. Thurs. as opposed to Tues. would be the better a.m. option for me but I am just happy there’s one day with an early alternative so I’m not complaining!!
