Hi All!

I hope everyone is having a good week.

A quick update on next week’s schedule – I will be out of town on Tuesday (to promote XC skiing down in Detroit – watch for me on Fox News 2 on the 8:30am segment!), so I am rescheduling both of Tuesday’s classes to Thursday, 12/13. So, Empower Yoga will be next Thursday morning at 6:00am, and Gentle Yoga will be next Thursday at 6:00pm. The following week, classes will go back to normal.

Thanks for being patient with my schedule changes! Always remember you can call me directly if you’re not sure about class times.

Also, another reminder for the Yoga-Ski Retreat on December 22nd! It’s going to be a ton of fun. Great thing to do with a friend, spouse, or visiting family. And a great deal! You can sign up here: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ASP/home.asp?studioid=29064

Have a great weekend, see you next week!

Hello Yogis!

A couple of announcements:

Tuesday evening Gentle Yoga and Wednesday morning Empower Yoga in Grayling are cancelled next week. I will be traveling out of town for my ski life job. Sorry for any inconvenience! Monday morning Gentle and Tuesday morning Core are still good to go.

Now that it is December, mark your calendars for the first annual Stone Turtle Yoga-Ski Retreat on December 22nd! Kick off your holidays with a blissful day of yoga, skiing, and healthy, satisfying food. The day begins at 9:00am with a mild yet invigorating Gentle Yoga class at the Gerrish Township Fire Hall. Then it’s off to Cross Country Ski Headquarters for a full day ski rental, trail and facilities pass, and hour long group ski lesson with a friendly, knowledgeable instructor. Top it all off with a delicious lunch at the Stone Turtle Day Lodge Café, and enjoy the rest of the day skiing or relaxing by the huge field stone fireplace! Both the yoga and the skiing will be taught in a welcoming, beginner-friendly environment, and all are invited to participate, including newbies to yoga, skiing or both! It’s a perfect winter activity to do with visiting family members and friends, or maybe a nice little getaway for yourself from that holiday stress :). Over a $60 value for only $35 if you pre-register, or $45 if you register the day of. If you have your own ski equipment, the early bird registration is $30. You can pre-register through the online class schedule, or just call or email me to sign up. It will be a ton of fun!

Have a great rest of the weekend. Thank you for continuing to inspire!

Peace,

Mariah

Happy Friday, everyone!

I made it back from Chicago feeling super pumped about getting classes starting again next week. I hope you’re as excited as I am to get back into the groove! Before I forget, for those of you who currently have monthly memberships, we will credit you one extra week due to this past week when I was gone.

With winter (ski season) upon us, I will be working more and more at Cross Country Ski Headquarters and will therefore not be able to teach as many classes as usual throughout the week. But there will be yoga all winter long, I promise you that! The schedule is basically the same except for a couple of classes that have been removed from the schedule. Also worth noting is that once winter is over and we get into spring, more classes will be added to the weekly schedule as ski season winds down. Here is the Winter Schedule, beginning next Monday, November 12th:

Monday 8:30am-9:30am: Gentle Yoga
Tuesday 6:00am-7:00am: Core/Empower (alternating)
Tuesday 6:00pm-7:00pm: Gentle Yoga
Wednesday 8:30am-9:30am: Empower Yoga (in Grayling)

As usual when we start a new schedule, we’ll give it a couple weeks to smooth out any bumps and see how it works with everyone’s schedule before completely setting it in stone. I’m open to feedback too, so give me a shout if you have any serious qualms with this schedule.

Last but not least, mark your calendars for Saturday, December 22nd for the first ever Yoga Ski Retreat! Kick off your holidays with a blissful day of yoga, skiing, and food! The day begins at 9:00am with a mild yet invigorating Gentle Yoga class at the Gerrish Township Fire Hall, then it’s off to Cross Country Ski Headquarters for a full day ski rental, trail and facilities pass, and hour long group ski lesson with a friendly, knowledgeable instructor. Top it all off with a delicious lunch at the Stone Turtle Day Lodge café, and enjoy the rest of the day skiing or relaxing by the huge field stone fireplace! Both lessons are taught in a welcoming, beginner-friendly environment, and all are invited to participate, including newbies to yoga, skiing or both! Over a $60 value for only $35 if you pre-register. $45 if you register the day-of. You can pre-register online by clicking forward to December 22nd on our online class schedule: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ASP/adm/home.asp?studioid=29064 or by calling me at 989-302-7928.

I think that’s all for now. Have a great weekend, see you next week! Namaste.
