June Yoga Challenge, Anniversary Party, and more!

stone turtle yogaGreetings, friends!

We hope all of you have had a great spring and are enjoying the weather. We’ve had a busy spring at both studios, which has been really fun. It’s been great to get to know everyone better and see practices evolve. You never cease to amaze and inspire us!

June 16th marks our 3rd anniversary, and we are going to celebrate it all month long with the June Yoga Challenge! We did this last year and had a lot of fun with it, so we’re doing it the exact same way this year, only the prize is even better! The challenge is simple: attend 12 Β classes between June 1st and June 30th and get a free Stone Turtle Yoga shirt, PLUS a free guest pass to give to a STY newbie of your choice. Of course the real prize is that you will feel like a yogafied champion πŸ™‚

Mark your calendars for our Anniversary Party Potluck on Tuesday, June 30th after Hatha Yoga in Higgins Lake (approximately 6:30pm). We’ll get together on the sun deck, share some food and stories, and celebrate! More details to come.

We will also be introducing the summer schedule soon, which will start Sunday, June 14th. Until then, classes will remain the same as they are now. As always, we will try as best we can to provide a variety of classes at a variety of times and days to fit as many peoples’ schedules as possible. We welcome scheduling suggestions as well.

That’s all for now. Stay tuned for the summer schedule, and remember: whether your last yoga class was yesterday, two years ago, or never, you’re always welcome at STY. Thank you for being you! Hope to see you in class soon.

Namaste,

Mariah, Lexi & Amy

And finally, a little reflection on the last few months. We have seen many new faces at both studios over the course of the fall, winter, and now spring, as well as some amazing women who have been coming since the birth of STY almost 3 years ago. It is so amazing and powerful to see our community integrate and grow, and to witness and experience our practices deepening together. We are so grateful for you for trusting us with guiding your yoga practice. It is a responsibility and a gift which we honor and do not take for granted. This community means the world to us, and each of you inspire us to no end. Thank you for your warmth and support, and most of all, for practicing yoga!

Much love and Namaste,

Mariah, Lexi & Amy
